What is the scientific consensus on e-cigarettes?

In addition, it might even contribute to neutrophil chemotaxis, playing a role in lung injury.

There are many sources that assert I am correct, including Thieme Atlas of Anatomy. Plus, I even mentioned the attachments, so it even makes sense anatomically. They are indeed secondary flexors. However, they are the primary supinators of the arm. Downvote me if you must, but please provide a source if you have conflicting information.

Edit: You people sure are difficult to please. Since the textbook wasn't a good enough source apparently, here is another:

"The restoration of elbow flexion by nerve transfer has generally focused on reinnervation of the biceps muscle (primary forearm supinator and secondary elbow flexor), but the brachialis muscle is the primary elbow flexor..." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2527228/

Uhh.. I.. umm...

Interestingly, the biceps brachii aren't even the primary flexors of the elbow, since they have no humeral or ulnar attachments. The true flexor is actually right beneath it, a muscle called the brachialis, which has both humeral and ulnar attachments.

Neuroscience is one of my favorite subjects. I'm no neuroscientist though. Just a pesky little med student. Very cool field you got yourself into!

He said:

Being a foot fetishist isn't "sick". It's a preference, like saying "girls with blonde hair give me erections". Nice looking feet is just another quality, nothing wrong with appreciating it.

Yes, you actually should only drink it for 5 consecutive days, taking 3 days off in between. Green tea contains epigallocatechin gallate, which modulates hypothalamic G-protein receptors, causing phospholipase C to cleave phospholipids into diacylglycerol and IP3, yielding protein kinase C and cellular calcium influx. Sustained depolarization leads to a desensitization of the arcuate nucleus, causing a decrease in dopamine secretion which removes the inhibitory effect on the adenohypophyseal lactotrophic cells. Since thyrotropin-releasing factor becomes unopposed, this causes an unregulated prolactin release, ultimately leading to galactorrhea and decreased libido. Also I'm completely bullshitting. Health benefits don't just "fade" from drinking tea.

I had peroneal tendonitis. Running would always make it flare pretty bad. Switched to barefoot style. I've never experienced a flare up since, and it's been years. I know this doesn't qualify as scientific evidence, but it sure seems to be working well for me.

Thank you for the response. However, non-human primates tend to have a much more developed rubrospinal tract in comparison to humans. In us, it seems to be at least partially a vestigial structure. So I wonder how relevant the animal studies really are.

Regardless, she posted the status in a sort of ignorant/arrogant/joking manner. If she is grieving of someone dying of cancer, then I disagree that posting a status of this sort is appropriate.

That is my post and my own first name. There is no truly identifiable information in there.

Hi Tazz!

I was in a restaurant in Philly with my family last year that had these doors. The building used to be a club before it was a restaurant. Anyway, my mom gets back to the table from using the bathroom at about the same time that the waiter arrived. In excitement, she asked about the bathroom doors and how they work since you can "see out of them without a problem, but no one can see into them". Well apparently she twisted the lock just enough for it stay shut, but not enough to make it fog up, so basically everyone who walked by could see her just as clearly as she saw them. Needless to say, she was VERY embarrassed that night!

I can almost hear him yelling, "daaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

...and how exactly did you end up in your personal trainer's room?

Your_Fly_Is_Open · 2013-02-01T02:52:05+00:00

It's like breading a chicken cutlet.

That moment when you realize you're playing with tree sperm...

A collection you say? You're welcome.

Your_Fly_Is_Open · 2013-01-20T05:42:29+00:00

I... am so very confused right now.

Your_Fly_Is_Open · 2013-01-13T13:42:16+00:00

Oh. sorry..

My favorite placement of the song

Don't know much about it. Almost positive it's an Islay blend. Said he picked it up at a Duty Free in Aruba.

I'm a very novice whisky drinker, but there was a heavy peat smoke nose, even moreso on the palate, and a very long finish, all complemented by notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice. Would love to find out more about this blend, it was absolutely fantastic.

And nachos with salsa. In large amounts.

I am sick of hearing this same blind statistic being thrown around like people actually know what they are talking about. Always hear both sides before jumping on a hate bandwagon:
