Health Tips of the Week
- For children with chronic non-healing wounds, the wounds of cancer patients, or the indigent, some physicians are using honey designed for wound healing, known as Medihoney.
- Tapeworm infections of the brain, which can cause epileptic seizures, appear to be increasing in Mexico and bordering southwestern states.
- Jealousy really is "blinding," according to a new study by two University of Delaware psychology professors. The research claims that women who were made to feel jealous were so distracted, they could not spot targets in a computer test.
- Obese women who have bariatric surgery before getting pregnant are at a significantly lower risk for developing dangerous hypertensive disorders during pregnancy than those who don’t according to a study of medical insurance records by Johns Hopkins experts.
- Girls and young women who drink alcohol increase their risk of benign (noncancerous) breast disease, says a study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Harvard University. Benign breast disease increases the risk for developing breast cancer.
- Overexposure to the sun can wreak havoc on your eyes. Sun damage can cause severe conditions such as sunburn to the cornea, tissue growth on the whites of eyes that can block vision, skin cancer on the eyelids, and has been implicated in the development of cataracts and possibly macular degeneration.
- Too much television is bad for mental health. Questionnaires were completed by 3,920 men and women, average age 51 years, for the Scottish Health Survey. About one-quarter of the respondents spent four hours/day or longer watching television. People who spent four hours or more a day watching television had poorer mental health scores compared to people who watched for two hours or less.
- Collards, kale, spinach and similar leafy green vegetable contain nutrients that protect the lungs.
- People who experience pain are twice as likely to suffer from depression and the risk increases if the pain is severe or lingers.
- When doctors become invested in an outpatient surgery center, they perform on average twice as many surgeries as doctors with no such financial stake, according to a new study from the University of Michigan Health System.
- A new study suggests merely saying, "This may hurt a bit," before receiving a shot may be enough to trigger a pain response in the brain long before any actual pain is felt.
