Doc Shock!

Ok, so it's no secret that I hate tattoos, but there may be a new class of tattoos on the market soon. Biomedical tattoos. The Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering at ETH Zurich in Basel may have developed a unique way to monitor for early stage prostate, lung, colon and breast cancers. They have developed a synthetic gene network that can go under the skin, only appearing as a small mole if blood calcium levels are consistently high, a hallmark for some early stage cancers. If the mole appears, it isn't a death sentence, quite the contrary, it gives the patient time to find and remove the cancer before it gets serious. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/04/180418141454.htm

Are you addicted to processed foods? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Processed junk foods have little to no nutritional value. So, why are they so addictive? A new study published in Cell Metabolism may be able to explain why. The study consisted of two hundred and six participants. The group was shown pictures of different snacks while having a functional MRI. The study found that the combination of carbohydrates and fat triggered the reward system in the brain. Researchers believe that our brains have adapted to having so many options for food, that we have begun to prefer those that we find more pleasurable instead of nutritious. So, the next time you reach for that snack, ask yourself whether or not your brain is playing tricks on you.

Have you noticed that your fingers are looking a little bonier lately? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. If you have osteoarthritis and have noticed an increase in the size of your finger joints, you may be suffering from Heberden's nodes. Osteoarthritis causes the degradation of cartilage in the finger joints. The bones then rub together and become extremely painful. In response, the body creates more bone. This is called a Heberden's node. Symptoms include: inflammation, redness, pain, decrease or loss of motion, and stiffness in the fingers. The best way to decrease symptoms are to do exercises that do not use joints. Pressure is taken off of the joints as muscle builds. Talk to your doctor today if you are experiencing symptoms of osteoarthritis.

Ouch, my back! This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Do you suffer from lower back spasms? Back spasms often occur after lifting something heavy or quickly changing position. The symptoms may include: weakness, trouble bending over, radiation down the legs, cramping, and tension in the lower back. Applying heat or ice to the area may help with the pain. You can also try taking NSAIDs like ibuprofen to decrease inflammation. Even a massage can help with the spasms. The best way to avoid back spasms are by making a few lifestyle changes. These include: sitting with good posture, lifting with your legs NOT your back, and by making sure that your mattress is medium-soft. Talk to your doctor if your symptoms don't ease up.

It's time for another mental health check. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. It is estimated that eight to ten percent of the US population takes antidepressants. Although these medications change lives, they can be harmful when a person stops them "cold turkey". Antidepressants are not addictive medications, but they do change the chemistry in the brain and when they are suddenly withheld from the body, a reaction occurs. It is estimated that around 80 percent of people taking antidepressants will experience withdrawal symptoms if stopped suddenly. These symptoms can include: stomach cramps, nausea, suicidal thoughts, mood swings, mania, difficulty thinking, low blood pressure, and difficulty sleeping. Talk to your doctor before stopping your antidepressants. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Let's talk about gut health. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Did you know that there are good bacteria in your intestines? If you listen to the show, then you have heard me talk about the gut biome and the role it plays in our health. Well, a new study out of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston showed that the good bacteria found in the intestines collaborate with cells in the intestine and the immune system. Meaning, most of your immune system is actually controlled by your intestines. This could explain why people that eat healthy have a better immune system than those that eat a junk filled diet. It is important to take probiotics daily. They are filled with good bacteria and microorganisms to aid in gut health.

Listen up men, it may be you're turn to take the pill. A new pill, referred to as DMAU, is being developed by National Institutes of Health, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The new daily pill works much like the female birth control pill by combining the hormone androgen and a progestin. While the participants in the study had lowered testosterone, but no symptoms, I am still concerned about lowering testosterone levels for other reasons, besides the sexual ones. Participants also had slight weight gain and lowered HDL "good" cholesterol.

Think you aren't at risk for Alzheimer's? Think again. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. The US medical journal Neuron recently published a study that may have linked the Herpes Virus to Alzheimer's Disease. Before you think you are off the hook, it was linked to Herpes Viruses 6A and 7- not the sexually transmitted disease you may be familiar with. These viruses often work together and cause Roseola in infants and children. Both of the viruses are extremely common and were also found to cause inflammation in nerve cells on the brain. It is theorized that the inflammation caused by the virus can lead to Alzheimer's. Although the study doesn't actually prove that Herpes leads to Alzheimer's Disease, it does provide a promising path for more research.

Do you have low testosterone? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. A new study that came out of Durham University has suggested that environment may have an effect on testosterone. Men have a higher risk of low testosterone later in life if they grew up in areas with higher infectious disease and other harsh conditions. The study consisted of 359 men located across Europe. It included men who have moved from harsh to better conditions and vice versa. Before you begin thinking you are not at risk for low testosterone, think again. Many factors influence testosterone, including diet, exercise, genetics, and vitamin and mineral levels. It is important to get your testosterone checked yearly during your annual physical.
