Health Alert: Premature Births Are at 15-Year High. The March of Dimes reports that 10.5% of all babies born in 2021 were delivered before full term, a level not seen in nearly 15 years. The organization attributes the increase to reduced access to prenatal care and an increased incidence of gestational diabetes and hypertension.

Diet: Eating Processed Food May Make the Flu Worse. In a laboratory experiment, researchers observed that mice fed a diet consisting of high amounts of processed food had higher risk of death from influenza infection and a more difficult time recovering if they survived than mice on a standard diet. The findings suggest that a diet high in processed food can compromise immune function.                                                       Cell Reports, November 2022

Health Alert: Common Pain Relievers May Make Arthritic Knees Worse. An analysis of data from a longterm study on knee arthritis found that regular use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is associated with worse knee inflammation and cartilage deterioration. Lead researcher Dr. Johanna Luitjens writes, “The use of NSAIDs for their anti-inflammatory function has been frequently propagated in patients with osteoarthritis in recent years and should be revisited, since a positive impact on joint inflammation could
not be demonstrated.”                                                      Radiological Society of North America, November 2022

Diet: Almonds May Help You Eat Fewer Calories. Almond consumption is linked to a decreased C-peptide

Mental Attitude: Babies Have a Greater Imagination Than Previously Known. In a recent experiment, researchers observed that pupil diameter increased in the eyes of infants when they were shown an object that was not clearly recognizable. The research team suggests this is an indication of increased mental effort and that that babies have the ability to use their imagination even before they gain the ability to speak.

Wellness/Prevention: Bedtime Tips When Children Share a Bedroom. To help ensure siblings who share a room get a restful night’s sleep, the National Sleep Foundation recommends the following: structure each child’s bedtime routine so that it does not disrupt the other; if an older child will share a room with a baby, wait until the infant is a few months old to bring them together; explain to the older child that a younger child may wake during the night; and play white noise in the bedroom to dull distracting sounds.

Health Alert: Bacteria Cause 1 in 8 Deaths Worldwide. In 2019, about 7.7 million people died from infection from one of 33 common types of bacteria, with over 75% of bacteria-related deaths resulting from infection in either the lungs, bloodstream, or abdomen. Co-researcher Dr. Christopher Murray notes, “These new data for the first time reveal the full extent of the global public health challenge posed by bacterial
infections… It is of utmost importance to put these results on the radar of global health initiatives so that a deeper dive into these deadly pathogens can be conducted and proper investments are made to slash the number of deaths and infections.”                                                                                           The Lancet, November 2022

Health Alert: Common Atrial Fibrillation Treatment Appears Riskier for Women. Ablation is a surgical
procedure that creates scarring within the heart in an attempt to restore a normal heart rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation. An analysis of data concerning nearly 59,000 atrial fibrillation patients treated with ablation revealed that female patients were more likely to experience intermittent atrial fibrillation, as well as heart palpitations, chest pain, fatigue, and dizziness. Cardiologist Dr. James Freeman adds, “This study is a call to arms to continue efforts to mitigate the risk of these procedures and continue to try to improve the safety profile for women.”

Diet: Unhealthy Diet Linked to Depression. Kynurenic acid is a normal byproduct of the metabolism of tryptophan, which is known to affect neurophysiological and neuropathological processes. A recent study that included 169 adults found that those who consumed a Western-style diet had lower levels of kynurenic acid and a higher risk for depression than participants who consumed a healthier diet. Neuroscientist Dr. Edwin Lim explains, “Western-style diets high in fat, sugar, and processed foods were already known to increase the risk of depression, but this is the first time a biological link involving the kynurenine pathway has been established… People from the
group eating an unhealthy diet had lower levels of [kynurenine acid] and more severe symptoms of depression. This indicates that [kynurenine acid] may help to protect us against depression.”                                                                              Frontiers in Nutrition, October 2022

Chiropractic: Manual Therapies for Post-Operative Elbow Stiffness. For patients with post-operative elbow
stiffness, a recent study found that both instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and muscle energy technique are effective interventions for improving pain intensity, range of motion, and function.

condition characterized by low levels of oxygen in body tissues—can affect several pathological processes that are associated with Alzheimer’s such as amyloid-beta metabolism, tau phosphorylation, autophagy, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and mitochondrial and synaptic dysfunction. An article recently published in the journal Neural Regenerative Research speculates that oxygen therapy could improve oxygen levels in the body, potentially slowing or even reversing Alzheimer’s progression.

Diet: Coffee Preparation for Longevity. While the current research suggests that moderate coffee intake may offer health benefits, it’s unclear if coffee preparation plays a role. In a study that looked that the coffee habits of over 450,000 adults, researchers found the best outcomes came from coffee prepared from ground beans, while decaf and instant coffee products only conferred about half the benefits to the drinker.

Chiropractic: Internal Hip Rotation Linked to Low Back Pain in Tennis Players. Examinations of 113 elite
male high school tennis players (35 of whom had low back pain) revealed an association between restricted internal hip rotation range of motion and low back pain. The finding illustrates how abnormal movement in one part of the body can affect an adjacent region.
