He, and his research team, are conducting a study about how the body responds to conditions such as exercise, and what factors may contribute to heart disease. They are creating a large data repository to answer questions related to cardiovascular diseases. They will: collect information about your physical activity, health, depression and mood; collect samples of urine, saliva, and blood for testing hydration status and biomarkers associated with cardiovascular disease; measure your body's heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing in response to exercise, standing, and during a special breathing test; measure your level of physical capacity, strength and balance. The entire procedure will take approximately 4 hours of your time. You will a body composition (body fat %), waist-to-hip ration, and body mass index report for your participation.

One of my most memorable experiences in medical school was caring for an infant who suffered life-threatening seizures progressing to coma. The cause was brain swelling due to water intoxication from “formula stretching.” Her family had been running out of infant formula before the next month’s supply, so resorted to watering down what little formula they had remaining.

In Texas, like much of the United States, if a school district has 20 or more English Language Learners, or ELLs, in a single grade, it’s required to offer bilingual education with a certified bilingual teacher. But for more than two decade many school districts in Texas haven’t been able to make that happen. Last year, more than half the school districts in Texas couldn’t find enough bilingual teachers to teach all the students learning English — as required. They have to ask the state education commissioner to waive that requirement for the year.

Both houses of Congress have now passed versions of the bill that would update the largest federal education law, known as No Child Left Behind, for the first time since 2001.
