Millennials Struggling to Care for Aging Baby Boomer Parents Call for Better Paid Leave
When Oniqa Moonsammy, 33, brought her uncle home from the hospital in early February following his stroke late last year, she planned to help her mother care for the 62-year-old as he regained his strength, figured out how to brush his own teeth again and managed his medications. But when they opened the door to the Brooklyn, N.Y., home her uncle shared with his father, Moonsammy saw her grandfather slumped in a chair. He, too, was having a severe stroke. Moonsammy used to work five days a week as a hostess at a restaurant in Brooklyn and often spent time with her boyfriend or went to bars with friends. Now her life revolv...

Pure OCD: a rude awakening
You mentally undress your friends, Tony Blair, the lollipop lady. Your thoughts are X-rated. You wonder if you're a paedophile – or just losing your mind. A sufferer describes the nightmare – and dark comedy – of living with pure OCDOn a spring night when I was 15 the mental image of a naked child entered my head and the corners of my world folded in. I put down my cutlery. My throat was closing over. Dad sat across from me, 10,000 miles away, and Mum was hunting draughts at the window.Stoned and smiling, my brother sat next to me, resting his elbows on teenage knees too high for the table. He looked sidelong at Mum ...

The Quality Of Health Care You Receive Likely Depends On Your Skin Color
Unequal health care continues to be a serious problem for black Americans. More than a decade after the Institute of Medicine issued a landmark report showing that minority patients were less likely to receive the same quality health care as white patients, racial and ethnic disparities continue to plague the U.S. health care system. That report, which was published in 2002, indicated that even when both groups had similar insurance or the same ability to pay for care, black patients received inferior treatment to white patients. This still hold true, according to our investigation into dozens of studies about black health...

How The Ice Bucket Challenge Has Changed ALS Research
Last summer was full of people dumping buckets of ice on their heads in the name of funding ALS research. A year later, it looks like it was totally worth it.  The Ice Bucket Challenge raised over $100 million, according to the ALS Association, which is huge when you compare it to the $2.8 million it raised during the same period of the previous year.  And it turns out that this funding has already led to some exciting advances and discoveries in just a year -- a very short period of time in the field of medical research. During a Reddit AMA, researcher Jonathan Ling opened up about how helpful the Ice Bucket Cha...

We Need to Help Poor Farmers Prepare for Climate Change -- Starting Now
A few years ago, Melinda and I visited a group of rice farmers in Bihar, India, one of the most flood-prone regions of the country. All of them were extremely poor and depended on the rice they grew to feed and support their families. When the monsoon rains arrived each year, the rivers would swell, threatening to flood their farms and ruin their crops. Still, they were willing to bet everything on the chance that their farm would be spared. It was a gamble they often lost. Their crops ruined, they would flee to the cities in search of odd jobs to feed their families. By the next year, however, they would return -- often p...

Who Suffers During Recessions? Economic Downturns, Job Loss, and Cardiovascular Disease in Older Americans.
Abstract Job loss in the years before retirement has been found to increase risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but some studies suggest that CVD mortality among older workers declines during recessions. We hypothesized that recessionary labor market conditions were associated with reduced CVD risk among persons who did not experience job loss and increased CVD risk among persons who lost their jobs. In our analyses, we used longitudinal, nationally representative data from Americans 50 years of age or older who were enrolled in the Health and Retirement Study and surveyed every 2 years from 1992 to 2010 about t...

8 Ways Sleep Can Help (or Hinder) Your Work Performance
Americans have a sleep problem, and that means we have a work problem. We're getting less and less sleep (especially on work nights), to the point that the CDC has declared sleep deprivation a public health epidemic. Entrepreneurs are particularly susceptible to sleep deprivation given the pressures and massive workloads that are common for business owners of all stripes. But insufficient sleep will cost you in just about every way -- physically, mentally, financially, and on the job. In contrast, high-quality sleep can up your game and give you a competitive edge over the caffeine-addicted zombies wandering the office ha...

The Power of Compassion: A Holiday Gift
There was nothing soft about my father. He was old-school strict and often brutally harsh. Seeking comfort from him was like trying to buy milk at a hardware store. To his credit, he was an excellent provider. But a lousy Dad. The truth is I didn't know my father. No one did. He was an enigmatic man with a brick wall around him so high you could never look in. The only thing predictable about him was his unpredictability. His mercurial moods were as reliable as a volatile stock market. My father was a Greek immigrant who came to the U.S. in the early 1950s seeking the American dream. He left his home village in Greece a...
