You might think of your knee as a simple hinge, but it's actually a complex machine. When things go wrong, like when the patella (kneecap) doesn't sit right, it's called patellofemoral instability. This can happen because of an issue called high-grade trochlear dysplasia. A surgery called trochleopl
Recently, Donald Trump's nominee for FBI Director, Kash Patel, has been vocal about seeking retribution against those who investigated Trump or supported those investigations. While this nomination is still pending, it raises questions about the new administration's goals. Patel has even mentioned l
