The project, from veteran filmmakers Alexandra Shiva and Lindsey Megrue, also had help from a Hollywood outsider: Northwell Health, New York's largest healthcare network. Ramon Soto, CMO, Northwell Health. "Lenox Hill" and "Emergency: NYC" followed, drawing on the popular hospital procedural format. Northwell's own research showed people who watched "Emergency: NYC" were 17% more likely to consider using Northwell services compared to those who hadn't seen it. Soto said the company has stuck to talking about mental health and other healthcare issues while avoiding being prescriptive in its messaging.

☆ New data shows asthma medicine may help reduce severe reactions in people with multiple food allergies
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-25 | by ( Amanda Musa | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +9 min

CNN —A new study finds that the asthma medication Xolair may substantially reduce severe allergic reactions in people who have multiple food allergies and are accidentally exposed to those foods. There is no cure for food allergies, and the only other FDA-approved treatment is Palforzia, an oral immunotherapy for peanut allergies in children between 4 and 17 years old. “But the reality is that most of our patients don’t just have peanut allergy,” Wood added. For people who have multiple severe food allergies and even moderate to severe allergic asthma, Casale says, Xolair might be the best treatment option. Xolair does not eliminate food allergies, and unlike with some environmental allergies such as pollen, many people never outgrow them, Casale added.

☆ A management professor shares how to resolve time-wasting conflicts between coworkers — without punishment

Measuring Office MisconductHow do you go about studying negative workplace behavior? Analyzing these dimensions separately allowed the researchers to develop a nuanced portrait of negative workplace behavior and its aftermath. When it comes to engaging in negative workplace behavior, everyone appears to be on equal footing. Since negative workplace behavior is relational, meting out punishment to individuals may not break the cycle. And because negative workplace behavior breeds further negative workplace behavior, the most important thing leaders can do is prevent people from becoming instigators in the first place.

☆ Sarah Palin came all the way to CPAC to campaign against the election system that cost her Alaska's House seat
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-03 | by ( Bryan Metzger | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Sarah Palin came all the way to CPAC in Maryland to speak out against ranked-choice voting. But in practice, Republicans have seen their chances thwarted by ranked-choice voting systems in both Alaska and Maine, spurring opposition. Mathias also flipped proponents' argument on its head, arguing that ranked-choice voting actually increases divisiveness. He cited infighting between the two Republican candidates — Palin and fellow GOP candidate Nick Begich — that allowed Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola to prevail in both the special election in August and the general election in November. Bryan Metzger/InsiderConservatives in Washington have begun mobilizing against ranked-choice voting as well, with Republicans in Congress criticizing the system.

☆ More beauty brands are ditching plastic packaging — and consumers are buying in
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-02 | by ( Korie Wilkins | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

Some beauty companies are ditching plastics in favor of aluminum, glass, or plant-based materials. "Beauty products come in bottles and pots with pumps and lids, and we're noticing the first question a consumer asks is, 'Is this all recyclable?'" Purpose-driven beauty companies are ditching plastics in favor of aluminum, glass, or plant-based materials. If they use plastic, they're trying to ensure that it's designed to be recyclable (mindful of inks and coatings). As a result, shoppers, namely millennials and Gen Z, are skipping the store and ordering their beauty products online.

More adults in the U.S. expect to be more stressed in 2023 than at this time last year, but they also say they're more willing to take steps to tackle that stress, a survey released Wednesday finds. And about 37% of adults (nearly 2 out of 5) rated their mental health as “fair or poor” this month, up from 31% a year ago. Young adults, low-income adults and parents were most likely to rank their mental health as fair or poor. At the same time, more adults say they plan to take steps to improve their mental health next year, such as journaling or going to therapy, the survey found. McKernan said other ways people can take care of their mental health include paying attention to signs of stress.

The first study ever to directly compare medication to meditation for anxiety finds the two methods work equally well at reducing symptoms. Just one side effect, increased anxiety, was reported in the mindfulness group, by about 15% of the participants. It's unclear why so many meditation participants appeared to drop off, she said. The time commitment to mindfulness throughout the study, however, was important for people to learn the proper techniques, Hoge said. The thinking behind mindfulness, Hoge said, is that it can make the thoughts that fuel anxiety less powerful.

☆ In Pennsylvania, Democrats' strategy to win voters on abortion rights is tested: 'It's still a powerful part of this election season'

Democrats are pinning their hopes on abortion rights galvanizing enough voters to support them. John Fetterman has pledged to enshrine abortion rights into federal law if he's elected to the US Senate, as his Republican challenger Mehmet Oz opposes abortion rights. In tight races, Democrats in the state like Rep. Susan Wild have argued that Republicans could pass a national abortion ban if they take back Congress. Pennsylvania represents a test of whether Democrats' incessant messaging on abortion will drive turnout and keep them in power. Democrats declared a shift in the political landscape – abortion rights were now on the ballot.

A constant influx of bad news — pandemic, shootings, inflation, natural disasters, political turmoil — can feel, at best, soul-crushing. Now, a new study from Spain confirms the negative toll constantly being plugged into the news cycle can take. Others note that there's only so much negative news coverage a person can take before it affects their mental health. The study found that those who avoided "too much stressful news" had fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression. The research also tracked whether the participants got Covid during the study period.

☆ Biden made a major dent in the student debt crisis — and it's time he does the same for the growing medical debt load in the US, attorneys and advocates say

America's medical debt problem has parallels to the student debt crisis, experts told Insider. But experts on medical debt say that student loans are just one piece of a household debt crisis, which debilitates millions of Americans. Haynes also noted that younger adults are more likely to hold student debt, medical debt, or both. Lawsuits for medical debt are more common than those for student debt, but both transpire. Haynes pointed out that much of medical debt is paid using credit cards, which means it doesn't register as medical debt — it's anonymized as credit card debt.
