The United States largely supported an international COVID-19 response resolution but took issue with the inclusion of language about sexual and reproductive health. A draft resolution on the COVID-19 response put forth during the 73rd World Health Assembly on Tuesday called on member states to engage in a number of behaviors in the context of the pandemic. Among those actions were to maintain the uninterrupted and safe services for "mother and child health and sexual and reproductive health" and provide assistance to other countries. The U.S. disassociated itself from the language in paragraphs 7.5 and 9.4 of the resolution, saying that they "do not accept references to 'sexual and reproductive health'" or language that may suggest "access to abortion is part of population and individual level health services." "There is no international right to abortion, nor is there any duty on the part of States to finance or facilitate abortion," the U.S. said. "As President [Donald] Trump … [Read more...] about U.S. rejects “reproductive health” terms in WHO coronavirus response resolution, says there’s no “international right to abortion”

One of the many qualities Deborah James displays in her battle with bowel cancer is a positive attitude. This inner belief demonstrates a real strength that few would doubt has impacted her journey from diagnosis to end of life care. Sadly, this positive mental attitude can only take her and those like her so far, it can’t stop the inevitable advance of terminal disease. Just like a physical health problem, a mental health one can make you feel impotent in the way it develops. So its encouraging to see new research from Denmark suggesting that if an individual believes they can improve their mental well-being, this will have a positive effect on their health. While this may seem obvious, there has been little evidence so far to support the idea. Most of what we have relied on has been individual anecdotes. Having interviewed thousands of people the researchers found that those who scored highest on a scale assessing self-belief were more likely to enjoy good … [Read more...] about Can you think yourself to better mental health?

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and, according to the World Health Organization, the prevalence of anxiety and depression globally increased by a massive 25% in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic alone. Social isolation was cited as one of the reasons for the increased stress felt by so many during the pandemic. Add in constraints on people’s ability to work or to seek support from loved ones, engage in their communities, loneliness, fear, grief, financial worries and exhaustion from those who work in health care and the perfect storm of a mental health crisis is created. Mental health care providers in Louisiana say they have felt the crisis up close and personal. “The pandemic has challenged the resiliency of people who would previously have had no empathy for anxiety and depression," said Roy Petitfils, LPC, whose counseling practice is based in Lafayette with Pax Renewal Center.

Published 2 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing A two-year study involving more than 100 men will look at the impact of endurance sports on the heart. The University of Leeds project will see the men, all aged over 50, fitted with a small monitor under the skin on their chest to record their heartbeat. The British Heart Foundation (BHF) wants to find if heart scarring in some athletes is linked to abnormal rhythms. It is hoped the results will inform future research around ways to avoid heart damage in sport. The charity, which funded the £320,000 project, said heart scarring is a "key feature" of many heart diseases and has a strong association with abnormal heart rhythms, which can cause a life-threatening cardiac arrest. A similar, previous study found that around half of those monitored developed scarring on their heart, though the exact cause was unclear. … [Read more...] about University of Leeds study to examine impact of endurance sport on heart health

By Dr Michael Mosley Published 12 September 2018 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Do you often feel tired, short of breath or can you feel you heart beating away inside your chest? Have your friends commented that you look unusually pale? If so, you may have iron-deficiency anaemia, the world's most common nutritional disorder. In the UK, it is particularly common among young women. An analysis by the government's Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) on iron and health in 2011 indicated 21% of women aged between 19 and 34 had below recommended levels of ferritin (how iron is stored in the body). I recently suggested to a friend with these symptoms that she might want to get herself checked out by her GP. A blood test revealed she was so anaemic it was surprising she could still walk upstairs. A few iron tablets sorted her out. It's worth adding … [Read more...] about How can you get enough iron from your diet?
