Actor Gal Godot revealed she was diagnosed with “a massive blood clot” in the brain during her eighth month of pregnancy earlier this year that required emergency surgery. She went to the hospital and “within hours” underwent emergency surgery, and her daughter was born. I had no idea that 3 in 100,000 pregnant women in the 30s+ age group are diagnosed with CVT (develop a blood clot in the brain). Gadot had announced Ori's birth in March, though at the time she did not disclose the blood clot. The pregnancy was not easy and we made it through,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.

The Food and Drug Administration recently approved a heart stent made specifically for infants and young children, a device that could help kids born with certain congenital heart defects avoid a series of open heart operations over their childhoods. In some cases, those defects are treated with stents, which prop open blood vessels, ensuring that blood can properly flow through them. “You can imagine that is less than ideal — they’re too big.”This means that as the child grows older and their blood vessels get bigger, stents have to be replaced, often with open heart surgery, Zahn said. “It’s not unusual to have kids who are going into middle school who’ve had four or five or even six open heart surgeries,” he said. Patients are usually able to go home about a day later, compared with around seven days for open heart surgery, including some days in the ICU.

By Dennis Thompson HealthDay Reporter(HealthDay)THURSDAY, Jan. 18, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- A daily multivitamin could help people keep their brains healthy as they age, a new trial finds. Results suggest taking multivitamins could help prevent memory loss and slow cognitive aging among older adults, researchers report in the Jan. 18 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The effect was measurable: A daily multivitamin slowed brain aging by the equivalent of two years compared to placebo. “Cognitive decline is among the top health concerns for most older adults, and a daily supplement of multivitamins has the potential as an appealing and accessible approach to slow cognitive aging,” he said. It looked at whether a special cocoa extract supplement, a daily multivitamin (in this case Centrum Silver) or both might help boost health.

Aspartame is one of the world's most popular sweeteners, used in products from Coca-Cola diet sodas to Mars' Extra chewing gum. In its first declaration on the additive, announced early on Friday, the Lyon-based International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) said aspartame was a "possible carcinogen". Several scientists not associated with the reviews said the evidence linking aspartame to cancer is weak. There was also some limited evidence that aspartame has some chemical properties that are linked to cancer, the IARC said. Scientists with no links to the WHO reviews said the evidence that aspartame caused cancer was weak.

I opened Moon Rabbit Acupuncture in June 2020, and in 2021, I earned a little more than $200,000 in profits. Going to acupuncture school is relatively inexpensive, about $8,000 per semester, which isn't much compared to other degrees. When I opened Moon Rabbit Acupuncture, I found myself busy very quicklySnyder standing outside Moon Rabbit. Before I opened my business, I did a lot of cold interviews with business owners. However, I felt that a huge reason for becoming an acupuncturist and opening Moon Rabbit was to link to my Asian heritage, my lineage, and my culture.

☆ RSV in children: Symptoms, treatment and what parents should know
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-23 | by ( Jen Christensen | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

Almost all children catch RSV at some point before they turn 2, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says. That way, they know whether a sick child can be treated at home or needs to go to a hospital. Here’s what else parents need to know amid the surge of respiratory illnesses. When it comes to RSV, parents should be especially cautious if their children are preemies, newborns, children with weakened immune systems or neuromuscular disorders, and those under age 2 with chronic lung and heart conditions, the CDC says. And most of all, if anyone is sick – child or adult – they should stay home so they don’t spread the illness.

A decedat la Cedars Sinai Medical Center, potrivit anunţului publicat pe Twitter de Ora Media, compania de producţie fondată de King, scrie AgerPres. S-a confruntat cu numeroase probleme de sănătate în ultimii ani, inclusiv un infarct aproape fatal în 2019, şi suferea de diabet. Emisiunea '„Larry King Live'', difuzată de CNN în perioada 1985-2010, cadrul căreia King a intervievat lideri mondiali, artişti şi alte celebrităţi, a fost urmărită de milioane de telespectatori. Jurnalistul a răspuns că nu se concentrează prea mult pe documentare întrucât doreşte să afle odată cu privitorii. În plus, King a spus că niciodată nu a dorit să fie perceput ca un jurnalist.
