Most teachers are familiar with the more common learning disabilities. One of those, dyslexia, has gotten a lot of needed attention in recent years. But just as many, if not more, young people have difficulties with basic math - and there's a specific learning disability for that called dyscalculia. Dyscalculia is informally called "math dyslexia" or "number dyslexia" by many people. It is one of the specific learning disabilities covered under IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act)

Lipedema is a pathology of adipose tissue, still of unclear etiology and challenging to diagnose. For these reasons, a therapeutic approach is also complex and sometimes controversial. The inflammation state present in lipedema can be limited by controlling the glycemic peaks. Specifically, the ketogenic diet (KD) seems to have the right conditions to be effective. Herein, we reported a subject diagnosed with lipedema who, with only KD nutritional intervention, achieved a significant weight loss (−41 Kg), with a net decrease in body circumferences, and also reporting an improvement in pain, and therefore in the overall quality of life. She refused other types of intervention and kept KD for two years. This case could represent the first step to organize a KD nutritional protocol specifically applied to lipedema.

There is a learning disability in mathematics named Dyscalculia. Current research suggests that Dyscalculia may be the result of mild impairment in the brain areas involved in mathematical cognition. However this impairment may be able to be remediated, especially at a young age. Dyscalculia affects people from across the whole IQ range. Estimates of the prevalence of Dyscalculia range between 3-6% of the population. Recent studies show that Dyscalculia is even more common than Dyslexia.
