☆ What Doctors Are Learning About Marijuana and Surgery
  + stars: | 2023-02-06 | by ( Sumathi Reddy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
There’s a surprising side effect of a marijuana habit that many people don’t know: Regular users may need more anesthesia during medical procedures to remain sedated. As more states allow people to smoke pot and eat edibles legally, more doctors say they are asking about marijuana use—and urging honesty—before surgeries or procedures because habitual users may need more anesthesia and painkillers. In one study, people who reported they used cannabis required more anesthesia than people who didn’t use it.
☆ Are Gas Stoves Dangerous to Your Health? Here’s What Science Says
  + stars: | 2023-01-25 | by ( Sumathi Reddy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
People either swear by gas stoves or say they’re harming our health. But what is the science behind the debate? The fury was reignited earlier this month after reports that a commissioner of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission was considering a ban on natural gas stoves. The chairman of the commission has since clarified that there’s no move to ban gas stoves, but they are seeking ways to make them safer.
☆ Can Intermittent Fasting Help Combat Childhood Obesity?
  + stars: | 2023-01-18 | by ( Sumathi Reddy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Parents and doctors are looking for new strategies to help adolescents with obesity. One controversial approach drawing the interest of some families is intermittent fasting, which limits people to eating for just a part of the day or week. Intermittent fasting has gained traction among adults who use it to try to manage weight and improve health. Doctors have largely avoided trying it with adolescents out of concern that introducing a fasting period to their schedules might result in nutritional gaps or trigger eating disorders when teens are rapidly growing and developing.

☆ Do Collagen Supplements Really Make Your Skin and Bones Healthier?
  + stars: | 2023-01-12 | by ( Sumathi Reddy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Every week more than a dozen patients ask Shilpi Khetarpal, a dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic, about collagen supplements. She tells them they are usually not worth it. Our bodies naturally contain collagen, which is a protein that provides support to skin, bones and muscles. Levels start falling in our 30s, and for women, the decline accelerates after menopause. Lower collagen levels can contribute to wrinkly skin, thinning hair and joint pain as we age.

☆ Why Heart Attacks Rise During the Holiday Season
  + stars: | 2022-12-12 | by ( Sumathi Reddy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
People often put off going to the doctor during the holidays, but they shouldn’t ignore signs of heart problems that can arise during the festive season. Winter and especially the holidays are the time when heart attacks and other cardiovascular problems spike, doctors say. More cardiac deaths happen on Dec. 25, Dec. 26 and Jan. 1 than on any other days of the year, research has shown. Heart disease, which includes heart attacks, is the leading cause of death in the U.S. year-round.
☆ Are Edibles Better for You—or at Least Less Bad—Than Alcohol?
  + stars: | 2022-12-06 | by ( Sumathi Reddy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
My friend made a bold declaration recently: She was going to stop drinking alcohol at home and take cannabis edibles instead because she thinks they’re healthier. Are edibles actually better for you than alcohol—or at least less bad? More people are asking the question as edible products containing cannabis, often in gummy form, become widely available. As people explore other ways to relax, cannabis aficionados say that compared with alcohol, edibles have fewer calories, don’t disrupt sleep and aren’t linked to diseases like cancer.

  + stars: | 2022-11-18 | by ( Sumathi Reddy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Respiratory syncytial virus—commonly referred to as RSV—has hit earlier than usual this year, causing a surge of cases in emergency rooms and pediatric hospitals. Doctors say the early rise in cases and hospitalizations this year is likely due to Covid-19 precautions that reduced our exposure to many viruses, including RSV, in the past few years. Many young children who weren’t exposed to RSV earlier are getting it for the first time this fall.
☆ How Does Flu Spread Compared With Covid? What to Know as Flu Cases Surge
  + stars: | 2022-11-08 | by ( Sumathi Reddy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
When my 14-year-old son tested positive for flu recently, questions ran through my mind that didn’t occur to me before the coronavirus pandemic. Should we run for our masks? Covid-19 has given us all a crash course in viral transmission and prevention. We know far more than we ever wanted to about how the virus that causes Covid spreads, how long it can incubate in the body and what kind of masks are most effective. That new awareness has made some of us ask similar questions about other viruses now that respiratory illnesses like flu and RSV are surging.

Anxiety and depression can hit women hard in midlife. A lot of them don’t realize perimenopause may be a cause—or that hormone therapy may be a treatment option. Mood changes are among the most common symptoms of perimenopause, a transition time before the last menstrual period that typically begins during a woman’s 40s.
