Health Tips of the Week
- An existing anti-seizure drug, levetiracetam, improves memory and brain function in adults with a form of cognitive impairment that often leads to full-blown Alzheimer's disease, a Johns Hopkins University study has found.
- Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that grape seed polyphenols—a natural antioxidant—may help prevent the development or delay the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
- Patients who use anti-depressants are much more likely to suffer relapses of major depression than those who use no medication at all, concludes a McMaster researcher.
- Disclosing the calories in restaurant foods to customers holds promise as a strategy to lower the nation’s obesity rate. However, a new study of food items from national chain restaurants found that while stated calories on restaurant menus and websites were accurate on average, 19% of individual samples differed from laboratory measurements by more than 100 calories and lower calorie foods tended to contain more than listed.
- Depending on the amount and age of the stored blood used, there is evidence that transfusion can lead to complications including infection, organ failure and death. As it ages, stored blood is less safe to use for transfusions.
- Smart phone users reading text messages and internet pages hold their devices at a closer distance than they would for printed text—which may have important implications for prescribing vision correction, reports a study in the July issue of Optometry and Vision Science, official Journal of the American Academy of Optometry.
- Pregnant women face a risk of stroke that is 2.4 times higher than the risk in non-pregnant women
- Lowering your salt intake has little effect on heart risk. While cutting down on salt might lower your blood pressure, there is no evidence that it leads to fewer death from heart attack and stroke.
- If you are having elective surgery, don’t do it in July according to the Annals of Internal Medicine. The changing of the guard with the new crop of doctors-in-training every July in teaching hospitals leads to more deaths, longer hospital stays and higher charges.
- Women who have just given birth should wait at least 3 weeks before they start using birth control pills in order to prevent fatal blood clots.

Article of the Week
The Past Is Always Present, So Make It Work For You
Many self-help teachers will urge you to live in the moment: “The past is over and done with. The present is a present.” Of course, it is great to fully experience the present and not dilute it with invasive thoughts of the past or even future worries - the way animals live moment to moment; however, humans are far more complex. And when someone tells you not to think about something or do something, that’s all you think about. Ask any unsuccessful dieter!
Let your past work for you
Memories are powerful teachers, lessons of the past making you wiser. Also, they can be comforting like a favorite old story to be retold or an old movie to be seen again. Ultimately, when you reflect on the past, you might finally unlock a pattern which has undermined your true potential and change what no longer works. A great byproduct is that you can recall the former self you have lost touch with throughout the years to be what you aspire to be.
