Odilia Beat The Odds As A Child; Soon She'll Be Walking A Runway In A Red Dress
As a 5-year-old settling into a temporary home, Odilia Cristabel Flores made friends right away.
Bonding with kids was easy. Her spunky personality quickly won over adults, too. Everyone laughed as she rode through hallways on a skateboard, steering from her knees. Her popularity went up a notch when she became the first person on the floor with a TV.
Sometimes the gatekeepers wouldn't let Odilia visit her new pals. She often ignored the rules, sneaking in and staying for as long as she could. When caught and sent to her room, she got even by breaking things made of glass.
Thermometers, mostly.
You see, Odilia's new ho...

Increased Activity In Part Of Brain Could Predict Stress-Related Heart Attack Risk
BOSTON (CBS) — Stress and heart attacks have long been linked, but researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital may now know exactly why.
Published in the Journal Lancet, Mass General researchers found a link for the first time between the area in the brain that processes stress and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Doctor Ahmed Tawakol, a cardiologist at MGH and associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School who took part in the study, said activity in the amygdala could provide answers.
“We found that the amount of activity in that tissue of the brain actually very nicely predicted th...

Carrie Fisher's Death Highlights The Reality Of Heart Disease In Women
Carrie Fisher died early Tuesday morning, four days after suffering a heart attack on a flight from London to Los Angeles. The actress and author, best known for her iconic role as Princess Leia in the “Star Wars” franchise, was 60 years old.
Experts say that Fisher’s death highlights an important reality about heart disease: It is the leading cause of death among men and women alike in the U.S.
While heart disease encompasses many different conditions, a heart attack occurs when coronary arteries become blocked and oxygenated blood can’t reach the heart. About 735,000 Americans have hea...

Older Patients With Female Doctors Are Less Likely To Die, Harvard Study Finds
CAMBRIDGE (CBS) – Want to live longer? Having a woman for a doctor instead of a man may help.
A new Harvard University study reveals that older patients are less likely to die or end up back in the hospital if they have female doctors.
The study looked at more than 1 million patients over the age of 65 who were hospitalized for common conditions including pneumonia, stroke and heart attack.
Researchers say women physicians are more likely to practice evidence-based medicine and stick with clinical guidelines.
“The difference in mortality rates surprised us,” said lead study author Yusuke Tsugawa. “The gender of the...

Simulation modelling to assess prehospital thrombolysis
For patients with acute ischaemic stroke, treatment is more effective when given early after symptom onset (ie, the sooner, the better). Therefore, shortening time to treatment by starting it before hospital admission, as done by the Stroke Emergency Mobile (STEMO) project, might be a promising development in acute stroke treatment delivery

Does Diet Soda Cause Weight Gain?
This study shows quite nicely that non-caloric sweeteners can alter gut microbes in mice -- a change that has negative metabolic consequences -- and provides preliminary evidence that it can happen in humans too.
Unexpected consequences
To further appreciate how complicated our handling of diet soda can be, here's another little example: Our intestine (or bowel) is covered with cells that secrete hormones. These cells react to the presence and composition of food by secreting peptides such as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY) and cholecystokinin - these names are not important - that work on the brain, sig...
