Road nationals 2010. People who exercise outdoors face a new threat. It’s unrelenting. Consistent. Inescapable. Perhaps, even more dangerous than distracted or mean motorists. It’s the heat. Gosh, is it hot. If only I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say, “Doctor M, you aren’t riding in this heat; are you?” Well…Other than the fortunate souls smart (or lucky) enough to live in cooler climates, most of us are facing an extreme wave of hotness. As a Kentuckian, I live in the epicenter of this summer’s cauldron. Louisville sits in a wind-protected valley alongside the heat sink that is the Ohio River. Think hot and steamy. The excessive heat smacked me hard last evening. Normally, my highly-veined skin and northern European h...

It may seem like a subtle difference, but in the world of mental health diagnosis, having a symptom of a disorder is not the same as having the disorder itself. The study in question was conducted on people seeking treatment for a nose job. To assess patients’ psychopathology, the researchers administered a bunch of psychological tests to the patients before their rhinoplasty. One of those tests was the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale modified for body dysmorphic disorder. Now, the researchers only found a 2 percent rate of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) among the 226 patients they tested. That rate is...

And by “honest-to-goodness”, I mean the real deal: racing heart, palpitations, nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, incredibly unsolicited surges of adrenaline…and so on. Simultaneously. Many people — from friends to doctors — told me to start exercising. My friends said it would reduce my stress and help me to sleep better at night. The University of Georgia says it can reduce my anxiety. My doctor told me that getting in shape will reduce heart palpitations and increase my lung capacity. True, true, and true. But here’s the big Catch-22 that kept me from following everyone’s good advice: exercising made me panic. And why? Well, a body ...

Oh, the angst and the panic, and the pre-game anxiety, and the post-game euphoria or depression. New York Times reporter Benedict Carey talks about treatment options in his article, ”A Home Treatment Kit for Super Bowl Suffering.” Mr. Carey suggests: Breathing exercises are highly recommended and become increasingly important as the football contest nears the fourth quarter, when events on the field are likely to prompt strong physiological reactions, like a pounding heart, hyperventilation, even dizziness.

If Dr. Lemole has indeed said that, it is completely inaccurate and incorrect. The placement of a breathing tube or endotracheal tube through the patient’s mouth or nose and into the tracheal does not protect against the development of pneumonia. It actually increases the risk of pneumonia and is a widely described condition in critical care medicine called ventilator associated pneumonia or VAP. All experienced critical care physicians work to remove breathing tubes as quickly as possible because the risk of...

When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon On Dec. 8th, 1980, I was in bed listening to the radio when suddenly, in a voice labored by heavy breathing and halting words, the disc jockey broke the news that John Lennon had been shot and killed in front of his New York City apartment building. The news ransacked my brain. The Beatles weren’t just a rock band; they gave us an identity. Their songs weren’t simply catchy tunes or stray memorable lyrics. The music told us who we were.

But if you overeat when you’re stressed, breathing might be just the thing to stop you from reaching for the Oreos. The next time you feel a knot in your stomach that can only be remedied through fast food, remember this breathing trick: Inhale through your nose for four seconds, and then exhale through puckered lips for eight seconds. It’s called the “pursed-lip breath,” and should re-center you and calm you down the next time you feel an emotional eating purge coming on. via Vitamin G Post from: BlissTree Stress Eating: How to Fight the Urge (Source: Healthbolt) Healthbolt blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3911653 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 16:21:50 +0100 3911653 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3888875&cid=t_104283_146_f&fid=38266&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsleepeducation.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F08%2Fcpap-helps-vets-with-gulf-war-syndrome.html (Source: Sleep Education) Sleep Education blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3888875 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:27:00 +0100 3888875 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3695319&cid=t_104283_146_f&fid=38266&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsleepeducation.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F06%2Furban-air-pollution-brings-spike-in.html (Source: Sleep Education) Sleep Education blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3695319 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 16:38:00 +0100 3695319 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3640622&cid=t_104283_146_f&fid=38266&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsleepeducation.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F06%2Fstudy-sleep-disordered-breathing-swells.html (Source: Sleep Education) Sleep Education blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3640622 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:12:00 +0100 3640622 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3617835&cid=t_104283_87_f&fid=39187&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgetbetterhealth.com%2Fdo-speeding-ambulances-save-more-lives%2F2010.06.01 How fast should an ambulance go? The stereotypical speeding ambulance with lights flashing and sirens blaring is the image that most conjure up. But recent data suggests that transport speed may be overstated. In a fascinating piece from Slate, emergency physicians Zachary F. Meisel and Jesse M. Pines examine that very question. They cite a recent study from the Annals of Emergency Medicine, which concluded that a fast transport speed didn’t necessarily save lives.

By the way, the Foradil is no longer a problem for two reasons. One, I had a routine set up so that a staff person would hand me the inhaler with the capsule already inside and punctured. Two, insurance quit covering Foradil and gave me Serevent instead, which is a discus not a capsule. And now I am typing around the body of a cat who timed her snuggle so that it came after the sound of the nebulizer shut off. Some background: Now that they know the breathing trouble was bronchiectasis, not asthma and not me just being a pest, I have a treatment routine that makes the “breathing takes effort” thing and the “coughing only brings up phlegm the size of a pinhead” thing far less of a problem.

This statistic is not valid for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea. “Severe” assumes that the patient stops breathing about every two minutes, or 30 times per hour, while asleep. The study by Naresh Punjabi of John Hopkins University found that men in the 40-to-70 age range face the greatest risk. For severe cases, dental appliances (sleep guards) are not listed in Dr. David Rapoport’s list of treatments. Dr. Rapoport, of New York University, worked on the John Hopkins research team. He suggests weight loss, CPAP, or surgery as treatment options.

They don’t matter, they don’t “count,” and they take themselves out of the picture before anything ever happens. I know this both professionally and personally. For myself, I know I just gave all I had to my daughters when I was depressed. I gave what I could as a wife and friend, but I put on my best for the girls. Not only did I think of them first, I just didn’t think about me hardly at all. I thought about my state of being and my misery, but I didn’t really think about ME as a whole significant human being.

Sinziana Seicean, MD, MPH and colleagues published results of the Sleep Heart Health Study in the May 2008 issue of Diabetes Care. They studied 209 normal weight and 1,036 overweight/obese individuals who had a diagnosis of SDB, but did not have a diagnosis of diabetes.

Recapping from last months article (see Stress and Neural Wreckage: Part of the Brain Plasticity Puzzle)...our bodies are a complex balancing act between systems working full time to keep us alive and well. Any change which threatens this balance can be referred to as stress. Cortisol, a key component of the stress response, does an excellent job of allowing us to adapt to most stressors which last more than a couple of minutes. However, having to endure a high stressor for longer periods than half and hour or so negatively impacts the brain in various ways. Sustained exposure to higher than normal levels of cortisol can result in“neural wreckage” via the prunin...
