Signs and Symptoms of an Enlarged Heart (Cardiomegaly)

Secondary symptoms of PD can be as debilitating as the primary motor symptoms, often leading to increased disability, reduced independence, and a higher burden on caregivers. Parkinson disease (PD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder involving multiple neurotransmitter pathways in the brain and autonomic nervous system, has been typically characterized by motor symptoms including tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural reflex disturbance. Although these dopaminergic motor symptoms are a major part of the clinical management of the disease, a growing number of patients have expressed that the nonmotor, secondary symptoms affect their quality of life even more.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common, chronic condition that affects the gastrointestinal system (GI). Although it does not cause visible harm to the GI tract, it affects the patient’s quality of life and their choice of food. IBS is characterized by various symptoms that differ in severity and frequency.

BOSTON - Some women with high blood pressure may be at higher risk of migraine.   Migraine sufferers are at higher risk of strokes and heart attacks, but does having risk factors for cardiovascular disease increase the risk of developing migraines?   In a new study, researchers in the Netherlands found that women with higher diastolic blood pressure, the lower number in a blood pressure reading, were 16% more likely to have migraines than women with normal diastolic blood pressure.   The same association was not observed in men, and in this study, other cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, and diabetes were not linked to migraines.   Most experts agree, more research is needed in this area.

Wolff–Parkinson–White Syndrome (WPW) is a rare heart condition that causes rapid heartbeats. This happens because of an extra electrical pathway between the heart's upper and lower chambers. WPW can lead to serious heart problems if not treated. Symptoms often start in childhood or early adulthood and include palpitations, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Doctors use tests like EKGs to diagnose WPW. Treatments range from medications to procedures that destroy the extra pathway. Knowing about WPW can help you recognize symptoms early and seek proper care. Here are 25 facts to help you understand this condition better.

New research suggests that lowering dietary folate can enhance metabolic flexibility. In a study published in Life Science Alliance, scientists from Texas A&M AgriLife Research discovered that reducing folate intake can promote healthier metabolisms in aging animal models. This finding challenges the traditional belief that high folate consumption is universally beneficial for health.

According to Scientists, Eating Less of This Vitamin Could Boost Longevity

A study from the University of Surrey shows that the gut bacteria of Thoroughbred racehorses at one month old can predict their future performance and health. By analyzing fecal samples from 52 foals, researchers found that those with higher bacterial diversity excelled in races and had fewer health issues. Additionally, the study highlights the negative effects of early antibiotic treatment on both the gut microbiome and race performance, suggesting the need for responsible antibiotic use and further research into probiotics.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Artificial stone, used predominantly for kitchen worktops in the UK, is under scrutiny for causing silicosis, an incurable lung disease. Recent cases highlight its danger, particularly due to high silica content and inadequate safety measures during its cutting and polishing. Despite known risks, regulation remains lax, especially in small companies, prompting calls for stricter enforcement and possibly a ban similar to Australia’s forthcoming 2024 prohibition.
