Growing concern for youth mental health in Utah amid national emergency - KJZZ

Image
SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — A national emergency has been declared as mental health challenges soar in children and adolescents, and those problems are even more serious here in Utah. The declaration of a national emergency came from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the Children's Hospital Association. It is meant to be a wake-up call to parents, caregivers, teachers, and government at all levels. "75% of all mental disorders begin between the ages of 10 and 24," said Mark Rapaport, CEO of the Huntsman Mental Health Institute. Rapaport said in that age group, nationally, suicide is the number two killer. "But it's number one in Utah. The number one cause of death in younger people is suicide in this state." Utah has had its own mental health crisis for years, but the pandemic intensified the problem. Children were isolated, lacked socialization, the boundaries of work and home disappeared.

Manage your sinus attack this winter - The Daily Star

A sinus stack usually involves pain in the forehead or between the eyes, upper teeth ache, heavy full face feeling, stuffed and congested nose. In addition, you may have a common complaint that sends many people to a doctor's office. Sinuses are air spaces in your skull lined with mucous membranes. Most people have four sets of nasal sinuses. They are like fingerprints. Everybody's is different.  Some people have no frontal sinuses or just one. Sinusitis is inflammation in the sinuses.

Caries Risk Assessment and Management - American Dental Association

Behavioral Modification: Oral Hygiene and Diet Patients, especially those at high risk of caries development, should be instructed to reduce the amount and frequency of carbohydrate consumption. 14 Patients should limit sugary snacks between meals 15 and eat a healthy diet that limits added sugars and high-acid foods that can affect mineralization of enamel. 15 Encourage patients to chew sugar-free gum with xylitol, which can promote salivary flow, remineralization, and cannot be metabolized by cariogenic bacteria. 16 All patients should be educated in optimal oral hygiene practices, including brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and cleaning between teeth daily. Although some caries prevention recommendations 5 include use of topical antimicrobials (e.g., chlorhexidine rinse) in patients 6 years of age and older who are at high risk of caries, a 2015 Cochrane systematic review found no trials for the use of antimicrobial chlorhexidine mouth rinses, sprays, gels, or chewi...

Clinical trial provides preliminary evidence of a cure for myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and Long Covid - BioSpace

Image
  BURLINGAME, Calif. , Sept. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Cortene Inc. announces publication of its InTiME clinical trial in which a short subcutaneous infusion of its experimental drug, CT38, achieved sustained symptom improvement in ME/CFS.  The company intends to test CT38 in Long Covid, the post-acute stage of COVID-19 infection, which is considered by many to be the latest trigger for ME/CFS. Cortene believes the CRFR2 pathway is upregulated and therefore overactive, leading to the wide variety of symptoms in ME/CFS.  "The conventional approach would be to block the overactive pathway," said Sanjay Chanda , PhD, Cortene's Chief Development Officer.  "Instead, our counterintuitive approach seeks to overstimulate CRFR2, causing it to downregulate , without the need for chronic treatment." CT38 was subcutaneously infused at one of four infusion rates for a maximum of 10.5 hours,...

In Focus: Students with chronic illnesses feel unsupported by University services - Daily Northwestern

Image
Three weeks ago, as her asthma symptoms flared, Communication and McCormick senior Gillian Finnegan sat in class struggling to suppress a cough. She couldn't focus on taking her exam. All she could think about was whether the students staring at her thought she had COVID-19. And how much longer she could hold in her cough. And if they noticed her labored breathing. She felt like her classmates didn't want her there. Finnegan tried to prevent this exact situation from happening. In fall 2020, she submitted an application to AccessibleNU, the center that provides accommodations for NU students with disabilities. She asked for flexibility in being late or absent from classes due to her eosinophilic asthma: a rare, severe form of asthma that causes breathing difficulties and coughing fits that can last up to a week. She waited a year and never heard back, but Finnegan said she wasn't worried. Classes were remote, so she wasn't concerned about rushing across campus, which ...
