Celine Dion says she has a rare neurological disorder called stiff-person syndrome, and it has forced her to delay several dates on her world tour.In a tearful Instagram video, the singer revealed that the incurable condition has caused painful spasms and impacted her ability to walk and sing.“As you know, I’ve always been an open book, and I wasn’t ready to say anything before, but I’m ready now,” Dion said in the video. “I’ve been dealing with problems with my health for a long time, and it’s been really difficult for me to face these challenges and to talk about everything that I’ve been going through.“Recently, I’ve been diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder called the stiff-person syndrome, which affects something like one in a million people,” Dion continued. “While we’re…

Best and Worst Supplements for Heart Health

Main

Some supplements are better than others when it comes to lowering the risk of heart disease, according to a new meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.Using data from 884 studies and more than 883,000 patients, researchers at Brown University systematically reviewed all of the existing evidence on micronutrients taken as dietary supplements. After evaluating 27 different types, they identified several that reduced the risk of cardiovascular problems like heart attack or stroke, as well as others that offered no benefit or even had a negative effect.This analysis represents the first comprehensive, evidence-based map quantifying micronutrient supplements’ potential effects on heart health outcomes, said principal investigator Simin Liu, MD, MPH, professor of epidemiology and medicine at Brown University, in a press release. “Our study highlights the importance of…

Worsening Measles Outbreak Threatens Unvaccinated Kids

Main

A worsening measles outbreak in Ohio has so far sickened more than five dozen children, offering the latest evidence that low vaccination rates during the pandemic pose a serious risk to kids’ health.Since the beginning of November, 64 measles cases have been confirmed in children and teens in and around Columbus, Ohio, according to an update from state health officials on December 9.So far, 25 kids have been hospitalized with severe infections. The majority of cases — more than 90 percent — struck children age 5 years or younger. More than half the patients were infants or toddlers.Three of the infected children had received the first, but not the second, dose of the recommended measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. The other 61 were unvaccinated. While many were too young to…

FDA Underscores Risks of LASIK Eye Surgery in Proposed New Guidelines

Main

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved LASIK eye surgery more than 25 years ago as a safe (albeit expensive) alternative to glasses and contact lenses. Now the agency is recommending new guidance for people considering the procedure that better details LASIK’s risks and potential complications.“Since the time of the LASIK Advisory Committee meeting in 2008, the FDA has continued to gather new information pertaining to risks associated with LASIK, including dry eye, pain and discomfort, and visual symptoms,” said a spokesperson for the FDA in an email. Both clinical and scientific knowledge about these adverse events and symptoms has increased since that last advisory meeting, they said.FDA Recommends a Patient Checklist That Explains LASIK RisksTo ensure that both doctors and patients have all the information they need to…

Quick Bursts of Intense Physical Activity May Help You Live Longer

Main

People who hate the gym but still want to reap the many potential health rewards of high-intensity workouts may be in luck. A new study suggests that the type of activity bursts many of us get while going about our days — like running to catch a bus or racing up the stairs at work — can have significant longevity benefits.In the study, people who engaged in just three surges of activity during the day, each lasting only a minute or two, were 38 to 40 percent less likely to die prematurely from all causes or from cancer in particular than individuals who didn’t have any bursts of vigorous activity in their days, according to study results published in Nature Medicine. These few infusions of activity each day also roughly…

Why Do Some Black Women Have More Aggressive Breast Cancer Than White Women?

Main

Black women with breast cancer are more likely to die of the disease than white women, a fact that has often been linked to less access to care. But emerging research, including a paper presented this week at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, suggests that a difference in tumor biology may also play a factor.In the study, researchers compared the tumor biology of 96 Black women with breast cancer to that of 87 white women. Within these groups, 49 percent of the Black women had their cancer spread, versus 35 percent of white women. The tumors of Black women had higher tumor microenvironment of metastasis (TMEM) scores, a marker that can help predict the likelihood that a cancer will spread.Even after adjusting for other factors such as age, type, and size…

ER Visits Due to Alcohol Use Raise the Risk of Death Within a Year

Main

People who seek treatment for an injury in the emergency department and are intoxicated or have an alcohol use disorder are five times more likely to die in the next year than people in the general population, according to new research that analyzed more than 10 million California ER visits.“For every 100 injured patients who were intoxicated or had alcohol use disorder who came to the emergency department, 5 of them died within the next year, versus 1 out of 100 in the comparison population. That’s a big difference,” says the lead researcher, Sidra Goldman-Mellor, PhD, MPH, an assistant professor in the department of public health at the University of California in Merced. The findings were published on December 12 in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.“These findings…

Black Newborns Are Twice as Likely to Die as White Infants, Even in Rich Countries

Main

In many of the world’s most affluent countries, Black women are twice as likely as white women to have their babies die within four weeks of delivery, according to a new study that highlights persistent racial disparities in neonatal outcomes.The new analysis, published December 10 in the Lancet, examined data on almost 2.2 million pregnancies across 20 high-income and middle-income countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and several other European nations. Even after researchers accounted for a wide range of factors that can influence the risk of pregnancy and birth complications — such as age, previous pregnancies, obesity, and education levels — Black women and their infants still fared much worse.Compared with white women, the study showed, Black mothers were more than twice as likely to have stillborn…

Probiotic Bacteria in Fermented Foods Might Help Fight Bad Breath

Main

Got bad breath? Mouthwash and chewing gum aren’t the only ways to mask the awful odor. A new study suggests that probiotics, or “good” bacteria, found in a wide variety of fermented foods may also help curb the offensive smell.Researchers at the National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases at Sichuan University in Chengdu, China, examined data pooled from seven clinical trials that examined the impact of probiotics on bad breath. Across all of the studies, a total of 278 people were randomly assigned placebo pills or supplements of the probiotics Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus reuteri, Streptococcus salivarius, or Weissella cibaria to see if the beneficial microorganisms reduced bad breath.When people took probiotics for 2 to 12 weeks, they had significantly lower levels of volatile sulfuric compounds, which are linked to…
