Chris Cornell: When Suicide Doesn't Make Sense
By Julie A. Fast
Sometimes, people commit suicide and it does make some sense. It’s scary and upsets our world, but on a basic level we think we understand. The suicide of Robin Williams comes to mind. He had a history of depression and his health was failing. Oh how we all wish he could have found more help, but I don’t think it was as much surprising as it was devastating and sad for the millions who loved him when he died.
Then there are suicides that make no sense. They don’t fit in the current life of the person or fit what the person is actually saying about life in public. The partner or other love...

Obesity and inflammation: the linking mechanism and the complications.
Authors: Ellulu MS, Patimah I, Khaza'ai H, Rahmat A, Abed Y
Abstract
Obesity is the accumulation of abnormal or excessive fat that may interfere with the maintenance of an optimal state of health. The excess of macronutrients in the adipose tissues stimulates them to release inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 6, and reduces production of adiponectin, predisposing to a pro-inflammatory state and oxidative stress. The increased level of interleukin 6 stimulates the liver to synthesize and secrete C-reactive protein. As a risk factor, inflammation is an imbedded mechanism of develo...

Do multiple health events reduce resilience when compared with single events?
Conclusions: Multiple major stressors do not reduce rates of resilience. The emergence of depression after health events does significantly increase risk for mortality regardless of the number of events. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)

Adherence to the 2015 Dutch dietary guidelines and risk of non-communicable diseases and mortality in the Rotterdam Study
AbstractWe aimed to evaluate the criterion validity of the 2015 food-based Dutch dietary guidelines, which were formulated based on evidence on the relation between diet and major chronic diseases. We studied 9701 participants of the Rotterdam Study, a population-based prospective cohort in individuals aged 45 years and over [median 64.1 years (95%-range 49.0–82.8)]. Dietary intake was assessed at baseline with a food-frequency questionnaire. For all participants, we examined adherence (yes/no) to fourteen items of the guidelines: vegetables (≥200 g/day), fruit (≥200 g/day), whole-grains (≥90 g/day), legumes...

Endocrine Disruptors and Health Effects in Africa: A Call for Action
Conclusion:
To address the many challenges posed by EDCs, we argue that Africans should take the lead in prioritization and evaluation of environmental hazards, including EDCs. We recommend the institution of education and training programs for chemical users, adoption of the precautionary principle, establishment of biomonitoring programs, and funding of community-based epidemiology and wildlife research programs led and funded by African institutes and private companies. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1774

Abstract P443: Multiple Chronic Conditions in Older Adults: Implications for Clinical Trials & Guidelines in Hypertension Session Title: Hypertension and Aging and Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke
Conclusions: HTN impacts ~82% of older adults with a higher burden of MCC, and ~75% (27,324/36,533) of Medicare beneficiaries with HTN have a large burden of MCCs. Behavioral health diagnosis, associated with adverse outcomes and costs, are common with MCCs. Clinical care, outcomes and costs for older adults with HTN and MCCs could improve with more representative inclusion in clinical trials and translation through integrated clinical guidelines developed by multi-specialty/disciplinary teams.

I ’ ve Been Seeing a Therapist for Years, So Why Am I Not Getting Better?
The answer: We need to address what’s happening inside the office as well as stigma.
During the creation of the documentary Going Sane I interviewed Cindy Bulik. She is perhaps the most important researcher on anorexia today. She lives between UNC where she is a distinguished Professor of Eating Disorders and Sweden where she is a professor at the Karolinska Institute. Her current research is exploring genetic influences on anorexia and by the end of our interview she asked if my entire family would be willing to give a sample of blood for the study.
She is not the single-minded professor oblivious to social customs tha...

Weight Loss in Italy?
One of the women I work with wanted to know about the new diet drug called Belviq.
The FDA is always approving a new “miracle” weight-loss pill, only to recall it a few years later. To date, at least 34 diet drugs have been taken off the market.
Diet pills cause all kinds of problems — heart attack, stroke and psychiatric disorders.
And Belviq isn’t any different. Some of its side effects include suicidal thoughts, a racing heartbeat, hallucinations and more…
The European Union banned Belviq. The reason? It causes cancer in animals.
And here’s the real irony… Clinical trials found ...

Association of chronic disease prevalence and quality of life with suicide-related ideation and suicide attempt among Korean adults.
CONCLUSION: SI was positively associated with selected CDP, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, ischemic heart disease (IHD), cancer, diabetes, renal failure, and depression, except hypertension. Subjects with CVD, IHD, renal failure, and depression were found likely to have increased odds for SA as compared to non-SA controls. Lower QoL strongly affected SI and SA. Furthermore, the likelihood of SI increased for depressed and cancer subjects who had low QoL in comparison to subjects with high QoL and without chronic disease. Similarly, statistically, significant interaction was observed between lower QoL and dep...
