Meditate And Live Longer
Before I practiced medicine at my Wellness Center, I was a sports physiology educator. So I know first-hand the value of a sound mind in a sound body. In fact, my “whole-body, whole-mind” approach led me to study anti-aging in depth, which as you know has become my main areas of specialization. In fact, I was one of the first physicians in the country to be certified as an anti-aging specialist. While advising a gymnastics team back in those early days, I often found myself dealing with the mental states of athletes. And that’s when I really discovered the power of meditation. I taught many of these gymna...

Being happy 'won't help you live longer' survey finds
ConclusionThis large prospective study aimed to assess whether happiness or related measures of wellbeing are associated with risk of death, after allowing for the influence of the poor health and lifestyles of people who are unhappy.The study found poor health was linked with unhappiness in middle-aged women. However, after allowing for this association and adjusting for the influence of other factors that may be associated, such as smoking and poor socioeconomic status, happiness and related measures of wellbeing do not appear to have any direct effect on death. This suggests that, as has sometimes previously been specu...

Available evidence suggests women with false-positive mammograms less likely to return for screening
Commentary on: Bond M, Pavey T, Welch K, et al.. Systematic review of the psychological consequences of false-positive screening mammograms. Health Technol Assess 2013;17:1–170. Implications for practice and research More research is needed to understand the implications of the distress reported by women following false-positive mammograms. Anxiety after a false-positive mammogram may affect women differently, among some women, exhibiting proactive health behaviours and others exhibiting avoidant behaviours. Brief interventions should seek to reduce distress and encourage continued cancer prevention activities. Cont...

FDA Approval of Paroxetine for Menopausal Hot Flushes
ABSTRACT: In June 2013, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved paroxetine (Brisdelle, Noven) for the treatment of moderate to severe hot flushes (vasomotor symptoms) associated with menopause. Brisdelle is the only nonhormonal treatment approved by the FDA for this indication. Prior to approval of Brisdelle, FDA-approved treatments for hot flashes were hormones containing either estrogen alone or estrogen plus a progestin. Hormonal therapy is highly effective for treating vasomotor symptoms. However, the use of hormonal therapy dropped substantially after initial findings of the Women’s Health Initiative randomi...

Health in older women athletes
Physical activity is commonly recognized as healthy behavior and an important part of modern life. A large body of evidence shows that regular physical activity plays a protective role against the development of several conditions, such as cardiovascular disease (hypertension and thromboembolic stroke), type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, colon cancer, breast cancer and psychiatric illness (depression and anxiety) [1]. Recently, some evidence has been found concerning a negative correlation between physical activity and cognitive decline among women [2].

Over the past 10 years, sleep has finally become widely recognized as a critical aspect of good health, and new research has shed more light on its importance in our lives.

Five-year 'death test' for older adults launched online
Conclusion This large study has identified numerous risk factors associated with a person's risk of death within five years. Researchers used this information to develop an online tool that predicts someone's risk of death within the next five years. The study's strengths include its large sample size and the prospective nature of the study design. But there are some limitations. There may be some bias in the type of people who volunteered to take part. The death rate was lower than that of the average population in this age group, which may indicate that the participants were more interested in their health and so had he...

Needs of Internally Displaced Women and Children in Baghdad, Karbala, and Kirkuk, Iraq
Conclusions The vulnerability of this population is great, and the emotional trauma of multiple displacements, kidnapping and deaths from intentional violence is great. While some aid is reaching families, much more is needed. Though Iraq is a middle income country, reaching the IDPs in central Iraq will take much more in international assistance than is currently being received. Unfortunately, at this time of great need, assistance is being cut back throughout the region because of lack of funding.10 The local civil society organizations which have sprung up in many locations to assist IDPs, offer an avenue for targeting ...

Bringing WISDOM to Breast Cancer Care
Dr. Laura Esserman answers the door of her bright yellow Victorian home in San Francisco’s Ashbury neighborhood with a phone at her ear. She’s wrapping up one of several meetings that day with her research team at University of California, San Francisco, where she heads the Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center. She motions me in and reseats herself at a makeshift home office desk in her living room, sandwiched between a grand piano and set of enormous windows overlooking her front yard’s flower garden. It’s her remote base of operations when she’s not seeing patients or operating at the hospita...

Mendelian randomization analyses for PCOS: evidence, opportunities, and challenges
Trends Genet. 2022 Jan 27:S0168-9525(22)00005-1. doi: 10.1016/j.tig.2022.01.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIdentifying etiological risk factors is significant for preventing and treating patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Through genetic variation, Mendelian randomization (MR) assesses causal associations between PCOS risk and related exposure factors. This emerging technology has provided evidence of causal associations of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels, menopause age, adiposity, insulin resistance (IR), depression, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, obsessive...
