How to manage rheumatoid arthritis symptoms with wellness techniques

October 12, 2020

Nearly 1 in 4 adults in the United States are impacted by arthritis, according to the Arthritis Foundation. The most common type is osteoarthritis, which tends to develop later in life from “wear and tear” on the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis, though less common, can develop at any age. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder where your immune system attacks healthy cells in the body.

CBSN anchor Lana Zak spoke with Dr. John M. Davis III, a rheumatologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, for World Arthritis Day to learn more about how to manage the disorder with wellness in mind.

“Exercise is really crucial for people to manage their health with rheumatoid arthritis,” Davis said. “Exercise helps people combat fatigue and decreases pain.”

Davis added that exercise could ultimately improve muscle mass and said people with greater lean body mass could have less inflammation.

Prodrugs Infusion Beats Oral PD Therapy for Motor Symptoms

A 24-hour continuous subcutaneous infusion of foslevodopa/foscarbidopa improved Parkinson’s disease (PD) motor symptoms during all waking hours for patients with advanced disease, according to a new study.

The beneficial effects of these phosphate prodrugs of levodopa and carbidopa were most noticeable in the early morning, results of the phase 1B study showed.

As PD progresses and dosing of oral levodopa/carbidopa (LD/CD) increases, its therapeutic window narrows, resulting in troublesome dyskinesia at peak drug levels and tremors and rigidity when levels fall.

“Foslevodopa/foscarbidopa shows lower OFF time than oral levodopa/carbidopa, and this was statistically significant. Also, foslevodopa/foscarbidopa (fosL/fosC) showed more ON time without dyskinesia compared to oral levodopa/carbidopa. This was also statistically significant,” lead author Sven Stodtmann, PhD, of AbbVie GmbH & Company KG, Ludwigshafen, Germany, reported in his recorded presentation at the Movement Disorders Society’s 23rd International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorder (Virtual) 2020.

From Women’s Health

Having polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can affect a lot of different areas of your life. Among other things, PCOS can impact your weight, and a lot of questions come up about the best way to manage PCOS weight gain via your diet. One frequently searched query? Whether the keto diet is a good eating method to help manage PCOS weight gain and other symptoms.

Before we get into that, it’s important to go over some PCOS basics. PCOS is a health condition caused by an imbalance of reproductive hormones, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health (OWH). This hormone imbalance causes problems in the ovaries, which make an egg that’s released each month as part of your menstrual cycle. When you have PCOS, the egg might not develop the way it should, or it might not be released during ovulation,

So-called “silent spreaders” of the coronavirus could be more common than previously thought, with a U.K. study finding that more than two thirds of people who tested positive for the virus were asymptomatic on the day they took a test.

University College London researchers studied data collected by U.K. statistics body, the Office for National Statistics, which has been regularly collecting coronavirus testing data from thousands of British households during the pandemic as part of its “infection survey.” The survey tests households whether they have symptoms or not.

The study, which was peer reviewed, looked at 36,061 individuals who took a coronavirus test as part of the infection survey between 26 April and 27 June 2020. It found that 86.1% of those who tested positive for

Oct. 7 (UPI) — One in four police officers in a major U.S. city screened for depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and suicidal ideation have symptoms of these mental health conditions, according to a survey published Wednesday by JAMA Network Open.

However, less than 20% of the affected officers said that they sought treatment for mental disorders in the past year, while 12% had a lifetime mental health diagnosis, the data showed.

The findings are based on a survey of working police officers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area conducted in January and February, the researchers said.

“There is a pressing need to systematically identify mental illness, an important occupational concern, and refer law enforcement officers to the appropriate healthcare services through broader screening policies,” study co-author Alaina M. Beauchamp told UPI.

“In addition to the lack of awareness of mental illness symptoms among law enforcement, substantial barriers to care [exist],”

As the coronavirus pandemic continues across the U.S., experts are noticing another wave of the pandemic with what they’re calling “COVID long-haulers,” or people suffering debilitating symptoms months after having the coronavirus.

Doctors say they are seeing many people who have recovered from COVID but are finding themselves still not well.

Caitlin Barber, a 27-year-old newlywed, is one of these “COVID long haulers,” who led a healthy lifestyle with her husband and spent time training as a runner. She was also a dietician at a nursing home.

Girls who played after-school sports in elementary school seem to have fewer symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder once they reach middle school, a new study suggests.

The research included both boys and girls, but the effect of sports on attention and behavior symptoms was only significant in girls.

“Girls, in particular, benefit from participation in sport when it comes to ADHD symptoms,” said lead author Linda Pagani. She’s a professor at the University of Montreal School of Psychoeducation in Quebec, Canada.

ADHD is a condition that includes ongoing patterns of inattention, hyperactivity and/or impulsivity — issues that interfere with a person’s functioning or development, according to the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health.

ADHD signs and symptoms include: Making careless mistakes in schoolwork, at work or during other activities; having difficulty paying attention in tasks like a lecture or lengthy reading assignment or during play; seeming not to listen when spoken

Trump reports ‘no symptoms,’ returns to downplaying virus

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump, said to be making progress in his recovery from COVID-19, tweeted his eagerness to return to the campaign trail Tuesday even as the outbreak that has killed more than 210,000 Americans reached ever more widely into the upper echelons of the U.S. government.

As Trump convalesced out of sight in the White House, the administration defended the protections it has put in place to protect the staff working there to treat and support him. Trump again publicly played down the virus on Twitter after his return from a three-day hospitalization, though even more aides tested positive, including one of his closest advisers, Stephen Miller.

In one significant national coronavirus action, Trump declared there would be no action before the election on economic-stimulus legislation — an announcement that came not long after the Federal Reserve chairman said such help was essential for recovery with the

While respiratory issues are a well-documented symptom of coronavirus, researchers have found that over 80% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients experience some type of neurological manifestation as well. In examining 509 patients admitted to a Chicago hospital network, researchers found that 419 of them presented a neurological issue at some point during the course of their COVID-19 infection.

“The most frequent neurologic manifestations were myalgias, headaches, encephalopathy, dizziness, dysgeusia [impaired sense of taste] and anosmia [loss of smell],” the authors wrote in their study, which was published Monday in the Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology. “Strokes, movement disorders, motor, and sensory deficits, ataxia and seizures were uncommon.”

The patients involved in the study were admitted to the Northwestern Medicine Healthcare system between March 5 and April 6, and all had been diagnosed with COVID-19. The team noted neurologic symptoms based on a review of clinical notes, diagnostic studies, and physician-documented
