Quote: | Dr. Caleb Kelly, a gastroenterology fellow at Yale University, was recently asked to review a paper about mammals receiving lifesaving oxygen through their anuses. “I laughed, to be honest,” he said. “I thought it was a joke.”
It seems like a no-brainer that bottoms are not for breathing. But the authors of a new study, published Friday in the journal Med, are perfectly serious. They showed that when some mice or pigs are dangerously deprived of air, an enema of oxygen-carrying liquid can rescue them.
“It actually turns out it could be a feasible approach,” said Dr. Kelly, who wrote a commentary accompanying the new paper. |
Oxygen Enema
That must have been an interesting grant application to get that study started. Grantor's probably thought they were just full of air... Probably could have been helpful during the height of Covid. _________________ I'm On point, On task, On message, and Off drugs. A Streetwise Smart Bomb, Out of rehab and In denial.
