Think Your Job Is 'Socially Useless'? You're Not Alone
FRIDAY, Aug. 4, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Ever feel like your job is pointless?A big part of the population feels just that way — that the jobs they do matter little to society.And a Swiss study that delved into what's been dubbed the "bullshit jobs theory" found that feeling was especially likely for folks in financial, sales and management jobs.About 19% of employees found their work rarely or never gave them “a feeling of making a positive impact on community and society†and “the feeling of doing useful work,†the study found.That finding is in line with the “bullshit jobs theory†espoused by the late American anthropologist David Graeber, who maintained that some jobs are socially useless.“Employees’ assessment of whether their work is perceived as socially...
One Personality Type Is More Prone to Be an Anti-Vaxxer
4 August 2023
FRIDAY, Aug. 4, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When studying which personality types were more likely to resist getting vaccines, researchers got a surprise. It was the extroverts who were more vaccine resistant. Compared to other personality styles, extroverts were 18% more likely to refuse the COVID-19 vaccine, the new study finds. “We expected that people who were especially high in extroversion would be more likely to get the vaccine,†said lead author Melissa Baker, an assistant professor at the University of Texas at El Paso. “We figured those people would want to get back out in the world and socialize, right? It’s actually the opposite,†she added in a university news release.The researchers hope their findings may help with future public health messaging and vaccination...
Troubled Childhood Could Mean a Troubled Old Age, Study...
4 August 2023
FRIDAY, Aug. 4, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The trauma and unhappy family dynamics of childhood may follow kids into old age, affecting both their mind and body, according to new research. “We looked at self-reported disability, as well as objectively measured physical and cognitive impairment, and learned that early-life stressful experiences can have ramifications all the way into older age,†said senior author Dr. Alison Huang, a University of California, San Francisco professor of medicine.“This can mean a higher likelihood of difficulty walking, or carrying out activities of daily living, or problems with memory when people are in their 60s, 70s, 80s or older,†she said in a university news release. Exposure to physical violence or abuse, severe illness, family financial...
Lawsuit Against Makers of Ozempic, Mounjaro Claim Meds...
3 August 2023
THURSDAY, Aug. 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A Louisiana woman is suing the makers of two type 2 diabetes drugs used off-label for obesity, saying they failed to adequately warn about the risk of severe stomach problems.The lawsuit seeks “very significant†but unspecified compensation from the makers of both Ozempic and Mounjaro, said attorney Paul Pennock of the Orlando, Fla.-based firm Morgan & Morgan.Pennock filed the lawsuit Wednesday on behalf of Jaclyn Bjorklund, 44, NBC News reported.The lawsuit against Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly claims Bjorklund was “severely injured†after taking the two diabetes drugs, which are part of a new class of medication called GLP-1 agonists.Pennock said she is suffering "persistent" vomiting and severe gastroparesis, also known as stomach...
Yoga Might Do Wonders for Women's Aging Brains
3 August 2023
THURSDAY, Aug. 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Yoga is known for its benefits to both the mind and body. And a gentle form of yoga may be an ideal early intervention technique for older women at risk of Alzheimer's disease, new research suggests.In a small study involving kundalini yoga, participants reported that its stress-relieving effects translated to more efficient memory.“Women tend to practice yoga more readily than men. And I've done other studies previously in people, older adults with mild cognitive [mental] impairment and in caregivers with similar interventions,†said Dr. Helen Lavretsky, the lead psychiatrist on the study. “We are focusing now on women who are not as impaired as in my previous study, but still at risk for cognitive decline. And the idea is to get to...
Golfers, Don't Forget Sunscreen: Your Skin Cancer Risk Is Higher
3 August 2023
THURSDAY, Aug. 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Golfing may be a great way to get outdoors and enjoy the pleasures of a classic summer pastime. But a new study warns that walking the greens for hours on end without adequate sun protection may notably increase the risk for skin cancer.Researchers in Australia found that more than one-quarter of golfers in that country have been diagnosed with skin cancer at some point, making Aussie players 2.4 times more likely to get the disease than their non-golfing peers.“Our previous research, and that of others worldwide, has demonstrated the positive impact of golf on people's health, including physical, mental and cognitive well-being,†said study lead author Brad Stenner.At the same time, “Australia is well known for its high skin cancer...
COVID Pandemic Might Have Pushed More Girls Into Early Puberty
3 August 2023
THURSDAY, Aug. 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- More girls started puberty before age 8 during the COVID-19 pandemic, a phenomenon called precocious puberty, researchers say.The reasons include potential risk factors such as increased screen time and less exercise, according to a new study, published online Aug. 3 in the Journal of the Endocrine Society.In precocious puberty, children's bodies begin changing into adult bodies too soon. These changes normally begin between age 8 and 14.The number of girls referred to pediatric endocrinologists for precocious puberty rose substantially over the past two years, researchers found. COVID-19 has also been linked to endocrine diseases, including obesity, which can contribute to early puberty in girls.“Our study confirms the rise in precocious...
Taking Kratom Claimed Her Son's Life. Now She and Others Are Warning of the Dangers
3 August 2023
THURSDAY, Aug. 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- J.D. Butler was planning a future with his girlfriend at his favorite New York City restaurant when that future came to a sudden, crushing halt.“They were planning on when she was moving in and arranging floor plans on the table, with where the furniture was going to go,†said his mother, Karen Butler, a lifelong New York resident. “And he had a grand mal seizure, and then his heart stopped.â€A subsequent autopsy revealed that J.D.'s fatal seizure was brought on by mitragynine toxicity, caused by long-term ingestion of the widely used herbal supplement kratom, Butler said.“She said there was evidence in his organ tissue that it had been in his body consistently for a while,†Butler said. “It’s one of those drugs to which you...
