Stress from caring for dementia patients can cause health problems, study says
BOSTON - Caring for someone with dementia can be incredibly stressful and a new study finds that stress can cause damage on a cellular level, which can lead to mental and physical health problems.One way to gauge a person's cellular health is to determine how much energy is left over after they perform daily activities, similar to a car. The more energy or fuel you have left over after a drive, the better your fuel efficiency, mileage, and overall performance.A team at Rice University studied more than 100 caregivers of spouses with Alzheimer's and other dementias and found that those with less leftover cellular energy were less able to engage in physical activities such as walking and carrying groceries, and they had fewer positive emotions such as feelings of excitement, inspiration, and alertness compared to caregivers with more leftover energy. Less leftover cellular energy has also been linked to higher inflammation which can lead to a host of mental and physical health problems, even dementia itself.

Update on University Rights and Responsibilities
Harvard’s University-wide Statement on Rights and Responsibilities (USRR) expresses our core commitments to advancing freedom of thought, open inquiry, and free speech; to protecting the safety and well-being of members of the Harvard community; and to ensuring that all within our community can pursue a shared mission of academic excellence through teaching, learning, and research. To fully realize those commitments, the processes by which we implement them must be fair, effective, and evenhanded. In recent years, this goal has been challenged in a growing number of disciplinary cases involving students from different Schools who are involved in the same event or behavior but may be subject to quite different investigative and fact-finding processes. Fully acknowledging that, at Harvard, each School is responsible for determining discipline for its own students, the facts informing discipline should not vary depending on what School a particular student attends.
