HEPATITIS B AND C MAY BE LINKED TO INCREASED RISK OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE

HEPATITIS B AND C MAY BE LINKED TO INCREASED RISK OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE A new study reports people with Hepatitis B are up to 76% more likely to develop Parkinson’s disease, and those with Hep C are 51% more likely to develop the disease.… READ MORE… LINK BETWEEN INCREASED PARKINSON’S DISEASE RISK AND HEPATITIS C DISCOVEREDContinue reading “HEPATITIS B AND C MAY BE LINKED TO INCREASED RISK OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE”

HARMFUL EFFECTS OF STRESS ON THE BRAIN AND PROMISING APPROACHES FOR RELIEF

Researchers present new findings about how stress takes a toll on the whole body

Gut Bacteria Linked to Age Related Conditions

Researchers transplanted gut bacteria from older mice into young mice and noted age related chronic inflammation following the procedure. The process, dubbed inflammaging, is linked to conditions associated with older age such as stoke and dementia.

Parietal lobe: 10 years before signs of Alzheimer, sense of smell and direction

The executive control center of the brain, the prefrontal cortex and the parietal lobe are responsible for behaviors, problem solving and sense of smell.

Decreased sense of smell may indicate early dementia. Loss of sense of smell may indicate onset of some types of dementia, researchers say. Previous research has associated olfactory loss, or anosmia, with cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Loss of sense of taste can indicate onset of Parkinson’s.

Exercise for the brain

Reaction Time Variation May Be a Marker That Predicts Mortality in Old Age

Reaction Time Variation May Be a Marker That Predicts Mortality in Old Age Summary: According to a PLOS ONE study, a person’s intraindividual reaction time variability may be an independent predictor of mortality. Source: PLOS. A common indicator of neurobiological disturbance among the elderly may also be associated with mortality, according to a study publishedContinue reading “Reaction Time Variation May Be a Marker That Predicts Mortality in Old Age”

Bay area doctors can measure anti-oxidant levels with a biophotonic scanner

Bay area primary care and geriatric doctors are invited to join the HCP Alliance to offer a way to test anti-oxidant levels of your patients and help them reach their health goals of increasing their vitality and youthfullness using a biophotonic scanner. Knowing our anti-oxidant levels allow us to control our lifestyle and find waysContinue reading “Bay area doctors can measure anti-oxidant levels with a biophotonic scanner”

Case Note Sample Narratives from visiting nurses, social workers and physical therapists for home care patients

Case Note Sample Narratives An assessor’s case notes have the ability to “tell the story” of a consumer’s medical and social situation in a manner which significantly augments information contained solely from completion of current assessment tools as well as the UAS-NY when implemented. Samples of case notes are provided to serve as examples for assessors to narrativelyContinue reading “Case Note Sample Narratives from visiting nurses, social workers and physical therapists for home care patients”

Does Consuming Low Fat Dairy Increase Parkinson’s Risk?

Summary: According to researchers, people who consumed at least three servings of low fat dairy a day were had a 34% higher risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. Source: AAN. Consuming at least three servings of low-fat dairy a day is associated with a greater risk of developing Parkinson’s disease compared to consuming less than oneContinue reading “Does Consuming Low Fat Dairy Increase Parkinson’s Risk?”

False Emotion Appearing Real – FEAR
