Studies show that patients in the hospital are more likely to die off hours. The Doctors call this the "Weekend Effect." Ten years later, when a 2008 study showed lower survival rates during nights and weekends for in-hospital cardiac arrest, a new study had found it has gotten better. Treatments have gotten better. Although, there is still a higher percentage for the night and weekends. Weekday survival jumped from 16% to 25.2% since 2014. Weeknight survival rose from 11.9% to 21.9%. More than 150,000 patients from 470 US hospitals have experienced cardiac arrest off-hours, which a crazy amount.
Dayton Ohio Veteran Hospital has had a down-tick in Opioid prescription recently. Dayton Veteran Affairs has reported down 40% since 2012. This gladly follows a national trend in VA hospitals.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine came out with one of the largest reports today about electronic cigarettes also known as vaping. The report has over 800 different scientific studies about the health of vaping. Over 12 percent of the American adult population have tried e-cigs at least one time, and 3.7 percent use them regularly. The health of the e-cigs are still unclear. The chairman of NASEM said e-cigs can't be categorized as beneficial or harmful.
Their are proven health benefits of honey that are being studied by scientists. Honey is claimed to prevent heart attacks and cancers. Tualang honey has been shown to disrupt breast and skin cancer cells. Honey is also very powerful and can kill off bacteria such as the Salmonella strain. 139 children found that honey was great to take at night because it eased coughing. https://www.news4jax.com/health/the-proven-health-benefits-of-honey
This years flu season has been horrible, its spreading through the whole United States. Influenza is still active in all the states except Hawaii. According to research flu season hasn't even reached its highest peak yet. This flu is very dangerous we've had multiple deaths from it. Over the past 15 flu seasons this is the first time all of the states in the US have reported wide spread of flu activity during the same week.
Scientists are now noticing many health benefits in honey. Scientific research has been done recently that may be a breakthrough claiming that honey can prevent heart diseases and even cancer. What is so shocking is that honey has been around for thousands of years and is just now being looked at in the medical field. Honey has the power to destroy bacteria like E-coli. It makes it powerful because bees produce hydrogen peroxide while producing the honey.
In the US, this year has been horrible year when it comes the the flu. Over 37 children have died of the flu since October, the beginning of the season. The flu virus this year has been considered to be deadly in 49 of the 50 states. The flu virus is so strong that it kills you from over dehydration and severe breathing problems. The flu is commonly a problem for adults over the age of 65 and children under the age of 5, but now doctors are saying that it can kill anyone of any age.
At Keele University, a study led by researchers took place proving human muscles possess a "memory" of earlier growth. Many time periods of skeletal muscle growth are remembered by genes in the muscle. This helps them grow larger later in their life. Athletes who use things like steroids could damage this memory their muscles obtain. It creates a false memory of how their muscles should be.
Doctors can end a baby's life support without parents consent, court rules. A UK judge has ruled that a doctor can withdraw life support for a severely disabled 11- month old boy without parents consent. Doctors from King's College Hospital in London argued it was not in baby Isaiah Haastrup's interest to prolong his life, according to a High Court judgement released Monday. Isaiah had no audible heartbeat, respiration, activity or muscle tone when he was born, according to an independent expert, Andrew Whitelaw, who provided evidence to the court. "This is as near death as it is possible to get and still have heart action started by resuscitation. In former times, he would have been declared a stillbirth," Whitehall said. Isaiah's mother and father, Lanre Haastrup, had objected to doctors' advice to turn off Isaiah's life support. It was not immediately clear if they would take further legal action against the judge's ruling. https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/29/health/uk-isaiah-haastrup-life-support-intl/index.html
A recent study conducted by Dr. Andrew Turner assessed the level of chemicals in children's toys. The results they found were very surprising. They found that older toys contain more metals and metalloids that were proven negative for a child's health years ago. It's actually claimed now that buying toys from thrift stores, or passing them down from older siblings, can be very dangerous. This is especially dangerous when children put toys in their mouths. Turner says toys today are made without these metalloids, so be careful with using older toys or toys from thrift stores.
Coffee shops in California might have to warn customers of the possibly cancer with there morning shot of java. The state of California keeps a list of chemicals, and acrylamide is when you roast coffee beans. Lawsuits were filed against Starbucks and other companies for not having clear reasonable warnings.

Researchers studying an implant to help alzheimer's disease has been successful. They used an implant that deeply stimulated the brain to increase the function of the cognitive. There is no cure for alzheimer's disease however scientists may have found a way for adults who are diagnosed with alzheimer's to live independently longer. The operation is done by placing very small electrical wires into the frontal lobes to help stimulate the memory and judgement making skills. This is the first time scientists have tried this method.
New insights from research on how insulin exits the bloodstream to metabolize glucose in cells could lead to new treatments for insulin resistance, a condition that usually precedes type 2 diabetes. Their findings suggest that the mechanism of insulin transport as it leaves the tiny blood vessels, or capillaries, in muscle tissue is different to that suggested by previous studies.
The school of Medicine in California is researching new treatments that could help to kill cancer. The new treatment involves injecting small amounts of an ingredient which is supposed to help the body's own immune system target tumors and kill them. They tested it and it worked twice with mice tumors. These types of treatments are called immunotherapy. The injections are supposed to help teach the immune cells to fight cancer on their own after the injections. It is hoped that these new treatments will help to save more people from cancer. One disadvantage is the cells only learn to deal with one type of cancer cell that was in their area.
Researchers have been doing a study to see if they can put an implant in the brain to try to help cure alzheimers disease. Researchers report the success of a clinical trial that tested the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation for slowing function-related cognitive decline. This enables people affected by Alzheimer's to keep living independently for longer.
Scientists have come up with an injection that could kill cancer. Some of the most recent experiments include using state-of-the-art nanotechnology to hunt down micro tumors (or cancers tumors or cells). Basically they inject this liquid in your body and it stimulates the body's immune response directly into the tumor. They have tried these studies on mice and they have been proven to be successful.
By probing the effect that vitamin D-3 has on the cells that make up the lining of blood vessels, scientists at Ohio State University in Columbus have identified for the first time the role that the "sunshine vitamin" plays in preserving cardiovascular health. Nanomedicine, they describe how they used nanosensors and a cell model to identify the molecular mechanisms that vitamin can D-3 trigger in the endothelium, which is the thin layer of tissue that lines blood vessels. It was previously believed that the endothelium served no other purpose than to act as an inert "wrapper" of the vascular system, allowing both water and electrolytes to pass in and out of the bloodstream.The findings suggest that vitamin D-3 is a powerful trigger of nitric oxide, which is a molecule that plays an important signaling role in the control of blood flow and the formation of blood clots in blood vessels. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320802.php
NFL players have been found to 38% chance of dying younger compared to those who have only played in a few games. Much of the players health is focused on concussions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). CTE causes Alzheimers like symptoms. It is the result of repeated trauma to the head. On Monday Bret Favre told CNN that "the only way to make the game safer, is to not play and the NFL isn't going to go away."
Around 15.3 percent of woman and 10.1 percent of men feel tired everyday. Most of the time you can pinpoint why you are tired, but what about the times you can't.
