Halloween Can Be a Scary Time for People With Dementia. Here's How to Help
THURSDAY, Oct. 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When there are suddenly creepy decorations and lots of knocks at the door from strangers, Halloween can be frightening for someone living with dementia. It is possible to keep a loved one living with the disease calm and safe, while also including that family member in celebrating the holiday quietly, experts say. "Like with many other traditions, there are adaptations families can make to help their relatives living with dementia have a safe and enjoyable Halloween," said Jennifer Reeder, director of educational and social services for the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. "We encourage caregivers to follow a few quick and easy steps to keep the 'Happy' in 'Happy Halloween' on Oct. 31," Reeder said in a foundation news release.The...
Stress-Relief Programs Often Rely on Dogs. What About Cats?
27 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Universities sometimes offer "Pet Your Stress Away" events offering a chance to relax while gently patting the head and stroking the back of a calm dog.But some people are more interested in interacting with cats than dogs, according to a new study that linked preference to personality type."Our study shows that we may be able to reach a larger audience by offering interventions that include dogs and cats," said co-author Patricia Pendry, a professor of human development at Washington State University.Folks with strong and highly reactive emotions would benefit from having cats on campus, the study showed."Emotionality is a pretty stable trait; it doesn't fluctuate and is a quite consistent feature of our personalities," Pendry said in a...
Who's Got the Strongest Sex Drive, Men or Women?
26 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Perhaps to no one's surprise, new research has determined that men do, in fact, have a much stronger sex drive than women.After reviewing more than 200 studies, investigators "found that men consistently report a higher sex drive," said study author Julius Frankenbach, a doctoral student of psychology at Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany. En masse, the research showed that men say they spend considerably more time thinking about sex, fantasizing about sex, feeling sexual desire and masturbating, compared to women."What did surprise us," said Frankenbach, "was that the finding was consistent across countries, age groups, ethnicities or sexual orientations. Men having a higher sex drive than women seems to be a quite universal...
New TikTok Trend of Mouth Taping During Sleep Carries...
26 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A new trend promoted on the social media platform TikTok has people taping their lips shut at bedtime -- a practice that could be dangerous, an expert warns.The purpose of mouth taping is to keep from breathing through your mouth at night."If you have obstructive sleep apnea, yes, this can be very dangerous," sleep specialist Dr. Raj Dasgupta told CNN."There is limited evidence on the benefits of mouth taping and I would be very careful -- and even talk to your health care provider before attempting it," added Dasgupta, an associate professor of clinical medicine at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine.Not everyone who has obstructive sleep apnea knows it. People with the sleep disorder stop breathing repeatedly...
Pain Relief in a FLASH: Radiation Treatments Lasting Seconds May Advance Cancer Care
26 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Flash radiotherapy, a new technology that uses targeted proton beams, is safe and effective in relieving pain for terminal cancer patients, a new, small study suggests. Flash radiotherapy delivers radiation at dose rates more than 300 times higher than those used in conventional radiation, does it in only about three-tenths of a second, and doesn't damage adjoining tissue. The hope, according to researchers, is that this technology will eventually replace current radiation therapy. "It's kind of in its infancy, so nobody anywhere else in the world is doing it. Our trial is really the first one in the world to show that it's safe and effective," said researcher Dr. Emily Daugherty, an assistant professor of clinical radiation oncology at the...
Could Psychedelics Help You Kick the Habit?
26 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Smoking is an incredibly hard habit to break. Anne Levine of Baltimore can attest to that.But Levine, 58, is getting help from a potential new tool: psychedelics. The four-decade smoker has tried to quit a dozen times. But once she became part of a research trial testing a psychedelic drug, quitting became easier. Researchers think they may have found the answer to quitting in a compound called psilocybin, a drug also found in "magic mushrooms.""There's several existing treatments, both medications and other therapies, but they all have lots of room for improvement," Matthew Johnson, a psychedelic researcher at Johns Hopkins Medicine, told NBC News. "None of the medications help a majority of the people long-term. Even six months down the...

26 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 26, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Like many actors in Los Angeles, Michael Shutt had a second job. As a bartender at a restaurant, he had flexible hours and a reliable income with benefits.Shutt worked the day shift so he could devote his evenings to a theater company where he acted, directed, produced, helped develop scripts and more.During a busy afternoon of tending bar, he felt something like a jolt of electricity tear through his body. Suddenly, he couldn't control his left hand. His mind felt jumbled. He had trouble speaking.Several co-workers noticed something was wrong. Shutt couldn't explain it. Everyone kept working.Although his left hand remained numb and his mind foggy, he worked the next day. The following day, he played kickball. He was a...
Keeping Blood Pressure in Check Could Cut Your Odds for Dementia
26 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Controlling high blood pressure in older adults may be one of the "best bets" for reducing the risk of developing dementia, Australian researchers report."Given population aging and the substantial costs of caring for people with dementia, even a small reduction could have considerable global impact," said researcher Ruth Peters, an associate professor at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney and program lead for dementia in the George Institute's Global Brain Health Initiative.In the study of more than 28,000 people, her team found strong evidence that lowering blood pressure could cut dementia risk.Five double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trials were analyzed that included individuals from 20 countries. The trials used...
