Health News: Too Many Invasive Heart Tests

12 March, 2010 (13:01) | Health, healthcare, heart disease, life, news | By: Catherine Morgan

We’ve heard a lot about too many mammograms leading to too many invasive biopsies. But now a recent study is showing that doctors may be doing too many invasive heart tests as well.

Every year more than a million people in the United States are given an angiogram to check for blocked arteries, but in many cases the tests reveal no significant blockage.

Does that mean that all of these tests were unnecessary? Not at all. The study suggests that doctors begin to do a better job determining which patients really need an angiogram…Specifically, that careful evaluation be done when patients have no known heart disease and they are not in an emergency situation.

Foods That Increase Your Risk Of Stroke

7 March, 2010 (00:47) | Health, dieting, food, heart disease, life, news, nutrition, weight loss, women, women's health | By: Catherine Morgan

muffinsAre you eating the one thing that increases a woman’s risk of stroke?

A new study has found that a diet high in fat (specifically trans-fat) increases a woman’s risk of stroke.  We already know that high fat diets increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers – just to name a few.  But this new study looked specifically at women, and found that women who ate the most trans fat had a 30 percent greater risk for stroke.

This new research emphasizes the dangers of not just trans-fats, but the trans-fats in cookies, cakes, and pastries — Sad news for anyone (me) who may have been in San Francisco and found out how yummy a gourmet cupcake can be.

Breast Cancer: My Interview With Dr. Laura Esserman

1 March, 2010 (00:39) | Health, YouTube, breast cancer, healthcare, life, news, women, women's health | By: Catherine Morgan

I was honored to be asked to attend the Avon Foundation’s Breast Cancer Forum last week in San Francisco.  And I have a lot of information to share with everyone.  I’m going to start with an interview I did with Dr. Laura Esserman.  If the name doesn’t sound familiar, she was one of the researchers behind the controversial change in mammogram recommendations.  I wrote about it for BlogHer back in November in a post titled…

Breast Cancer Screening:  Are women just too emotional for mammograms before 50?

I guess the title of the post speaks to where I stand on the issue.

Although my feelings on this topic are contrary to Dr. Esserman’s point of view, I do think that she believes she has a woman’s best interest at heart.

This is from Dr. Laura Esserman’s bio

Dr. Laura Esserman, a nationally known breast surgeon, is the director of the UCSF Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center at the Mount Zion campus. Her work is devoted to developing new, more effective ways to care for and empower breast cancer patients during treatment and to tailor treatments using biology, personal preference and constant feedback regarding outcomes of care.

Shortly after Dr. Esserman spoke about her study to the attendees of the breast cancer forum, I had an opportunity to interview her.

A Series of Posts on Breast Cancer

26 February, 2010 (16:43) | Health, healthcare, life, news, women, women's health | By: Catherine Morgan

I was honored to be asked to attend the Avon Foundation’s Breast Cancer Forum earlier this week in San Francisco.  And I have so much to share with everyone about all that I learned there.  I decided to do that in a series of posts rather than just one big one.

Here is some of what I’ll be sharing over the next several days…

Video interviews with Dr. Laura Esserman on new mammogram recommendations.

-  Video reactions of attendees to Dr. Esserman’s discussion on new mammogram recommendations.

-  Advances in Imaging Technologies to help improve early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer.

-  Is fear of unnecessary biopsies having an impact on early breast cancer detection?

-  Results of survey on the early impact of the new breast cancer screening guidelines.

-  The latest research on Inflammatory Breast Cancer…Signs and symptoms for early diagnosis, new treatment recommendations, understanding why this type of breast cancer can be so deadly.

-  Reaching the medically under-served, uninsured, and under-insured.

-  Nutrition and physical activity in breast cancer.

-  Most effective ways to explain risk factors in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

As I post on these topics, I will also include links to them on this post.

Teen Pregnancy Rates Up

4 February, 2010 (14:14) | Health, family, healthcare, life, news, teens, women, women's health | By: Catherine Morgan

Troubling news about teens and sex…Teen pregnancy rates are up after a ten year decline.  There is no doubt that teen pregnancy is on the rise.  The question is…What can we do about it?

It seems obvious that abstinence-only programs aren’t working to reduce teen pregnancy.  If you ask me, it’s not the “abstinence” part that is the problem, it’s the “only” part.  I’m not against teaching abstinence as part of a sex education program, but to only teach abstinence seem irresponsible.

So then, what is the best way to reduce teen pregnancy?

Study Finds Weight Bias In Healthcare

26 January, 2010 (01:28) | Health, healthcare, heart disease, life, news, nutrition, weight loss, women, women's health | By: Catherine Morgan

I came across a pretty disturbing article today…It suggests that doctors are bias against overweight women, to the extent of jeopardizing their health and well-being.  It’s no secret that overweight people are discriminated against in many ways.  But recent studies have found that overweight women are actually being discriminated by their own doctors and health care professionals.  With two out of every three Americans considered to be overweight or obese, this bias could be putting many people at risk.  Could you be one of them?

How serious is the problem?

Stem Cell Research Controversy – with video

5 December, 2009 (14:10) | BlogHer, Health, YouTube, family, life, news, politics, videos | By: Catherine Morgan

Stem Cell Research:  Mixing religion, science and politics equals controversy.

This week president Obama announced the release of 13 new embryonic stem cell lines to be used for research.  Scientists are hopeful that this research could someday treat or even cure diseases like Diabetes, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and spinal cord injuries (just to name a few).  But this decision isn’t without controversy.

Although, I have a hard time understanding why there is such a big controversy.  If you consider the two-day old embryo to be life, then wouldn’t you want that life to have some sort of meaning?  When the alternative to research is the trash, isn’t there more dignity in research?

This is a one minute video that demonstrates what is currently happening to unused frozen embryos “LIFE” from fertility clinics. These are the same embryos, that could be used to advance scientific research and to save lives…

I wrote about my feelings on stem cell research back in 2007, and my feelings are still the same.  I believe the unused embryos that would otherwise be discarded from fertility clinics, should be treated with the same respect we give organ donation.

Holiday Food Safety: Prevent Foodborne Illness

25 November, 2009 (20:41) | BlogHer, Health, YouTube, family, food, life, news, videos | By: Catherine Morgan

The CDC estimates that there are 76 million cases of food-borne illnesses each year, and of that number more than 300,000 will be hospitalized and 5,000 will die.  Those are high numbers, especially considering these types of illnesses are very preventable.

On Thursday we will all be sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner, and some of us will even contract one of these food-borne illnesses.  But there are things we can do to reduce our risk of of food-borne illness.

To start, here is a great video on Holiday Food Safety from the FDA website…

Breast Cancer Screening Controversy

22 November, 2009 (12:18) | BlogHer, Health, YouTube, breast cancer, family, healthcare, life, news, politics, videos, women, women's health | By: Catherine Morgan

Are women just too emotional for mammograms before 50?

Unless you’ve been under a rock all week, you have probably heard about the government task force that has recommended new guidelines for breast cancer prevention.  It goes something like this…

If you’re younger than 50 or older than 75, you no longer have to worry your pretty little head about breast cancer, or getting those pesky boob squishing mammograms.

Hallelujah!  I wonder how long it will be before we go back to giving women Valium for chest pain?  Who needs preventative care when it’s not 100% effective anyway?  Hell, just go ahead and give us anti-anxiety meds for all of our ills…I’ll betcha we save a bundle on healthcare costs. Women already outlive men by a bunch of years, maybe this will even things out a bit…Isn’t equality what we’ve been cryin about all these years?

OK, I know, I went a little too far with my analogy.  But seriously, this is what’s going on…

From Kaiser Health News – Guidelines on Cancer Screening Spark Debate

On Monday, the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommended that routine mammograms start at age 50 instead of 40, that women receive the test every two years as opposed to annually, and that physicians no longer train women to perform breast self-examination.

Imaging centers saw cancellations for mammograms more than double since the news of these “recommendations” were announced.  I wonder how many of those women may actually have breast cancer right now and will miss the opportunity for early detection and treatment?

I have to admit, I’ve been having a lot of cynical thoughts running through my head since I heard this disturbing news.  Like…

I can’t help but think that if the pharmaceutical companies were profiting from mammograms these recommendations would be suggesting that they begin ten years earlier rather than later.

And then there’s this one…

If a healthcare reform bill is going to benefit the insurance industry (and it must – considering all their lobbying dollars), then insurance companies need guidelines that will allow them to reduce the amount of money they shell out for quality health care.

I know these are just thoughts, but when government panels are established to become corporate bean counters of women’s health policy, it makes me a little angry.

The thing is, when it comes to healthcare for women – I want to see more choices for women, not less.

Check out this video, it really does a nice job of addressing the problems associated with these new guidelines…

Is healthcare for women under attack?

Was I the only one who was completely shocked to find out that this so called panel of experts had three representatives from insurance companies, but no experts in oncology or breast cancer?

Alzheimer’s: Devastating Diagnosis

Do you know someone who suffers with Alzheimer’s disease?  Or someone who is a caregiver to a loved one with this devastating disease?  If so, you understand the heartache associated with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

Who are we without our memories of past experiences?  For most of us, the though of losing our memories to Alzheimer’s disease is horrifying.  But there is much more to Alzheimer’s than memory loss.

Kellogg’s: Taking Advantage of Swine Flu (H1N1) Fears

4 November, 2009 (17:17) | Health, children, family, food, healthcare, heart disease, life, mommy bloggers, news, nutrition, thoughts, women | By: Catherine Morgan

When I first saw this, I honestly thought it was a joke.

(CBS) Kellogg, the nation’s largest cereal maker, is making new, controversial claims that its Krispies cereals can help boost kids’ immune systems.


Does fortifying junk food with a couple of vitamins make it healthy?  No, of course not.  Processed foods and foods high in sugar are not healthy.  Period.

So why would Kellogg’s think that by adding a few vitamins to its kid cereals, that they could then call them healthy?  Let me take a guess$$$$$$$$$$.  Isn’t it interesting how they are making these claims about “boosting your families immunity” at a time when most mothers are fearful of the H1N1 virus?  Coincidence?  Or just super good marketing strategy?

The truth is…Sugar (and many of the other ingredients in these cereals) actually weaken the immune system, so claims of boosting immunity are totally bogus.  Shame on you Kellogg’s – You are clearly taking advantage of this swine flu crisis to increase your bottom line.

What do you think about this?  Let me know in comments.

November Is Epilepsy Awareness Month

3 November, 2009 (12:34) | BlogHer, Health, YouTube, children, family, healthcare, life, mommy bloggers, news, videos, women, women bloggers, women's health | By: Catherine Morgan

November is Epilepsy Awareness Month.  I hope this post will provide information and facts about epilepsy, while also showcasing women blogging about life with seizures.

Here are some epilepsy facts from CURE Epilepsy

  • Epilepsy affects over 3 million Americans of all ages – more than multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and Parkinson’s disease combined. Almost 500 new cases of epilepsy are diagnosed every day in the United States. Epilepsy affects 50,000,000 people worldwide.
  • In two-thirds of patients diagnosed with epilepsy, the cause is unknown.
  • Epilepsy can develop at any age and can be a result of genetics, stroke, head injury, and many other factors.
  • In over thirty percent of patients, seizures cannot be controlled with treatment. Uncontrolled seizures may lead to brain damage and death. Many more have only partial control of their seizures.
  • The severe epilepsy syndromes of childhood can cause developmental delay and brain damage, leading to a lifetime of dependency and continually accruing costs—both medical and societal.
  • It is estimated that up to 50,000 deaths occur annually in the U.S. from status epilepticus (prolonged seizures), Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), and other seizure-related causes such as drowning and other accidents.
  • The mortality rate among people with epilepsy is two to three times higher than the general population and the risk of sudden death is twenty-four times greater.
  • Recurring seizures are also a burden for those living with brain tumors and other disorders such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, tuberous sclerosis, and a variety of genetic syndromes.

I found this video on a blog called My 3 Peanuts – It is a very informative video that explains exactly what happens during a seizure.

Swine Flu: H1N1 Vaccine Pitting Mom Against Mom

2 November, 2009 (13:02) | Health, blogging, children, family, healthcare, life, mommy bloggers, news, teens, thoughts, women, women bloggers | By: Catherine Morgan

h1n1-vaccine1

This is my response to seeing so many bloggers and commenters turning the “choice” to vaccinate for H1N1, into a free for all hate fest against moms who are “choosing” not to vaccinate.

To vaccinate or not to vaccinate, that is the question many moms are facing when it comes to Swine Flu and the H1N1 vaccine (including me).  As far as I’m concerned, there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to the H1N1 vaccine.  There is plenty of information available for parents to educate themselves on both the H1N1 virus as well as the vaccine, and I believe every mother has the right to make the decision she believes is best for her children.  But not everyone thinks so, there are many moms on the internet freely venting their disdain for anyone who doesn’t vaccinate their child for H1N1.

Depression and Anti-Depressants: Risks vs. Benefits

28 October, 2009 (19:12) | BlogHer, Health, depression, healthcare, life, news, thoughts, women, women's health | By: Catherine Morgan

Anti-depressants have been in the news a lot recently.  There are new questions about anti-depressant use and the risk of suicide.  Questions about why anti-depressant use seems to be on the rise.  Questions about the risks of using anti-depressants during pregnancy.  And questions about the safety of using anti-depressants in adolescence.  Unfortunately, there are more questions than answers.

For me, these types of questions boil down to…Do the benefits outweigh the risks? And there is no right or wrong answer, I believe these questions need to be addressed on a case by case basis.

As with everything in life – Knowledge is power.  So in this post we will take a look at the latest news surrounding anti-depressant use, as well as links to information on diagnosis and treatment of depression.

Will You Be Getting The Swine Flu Vaccine?

The swine flu vaccine will be available very soon, but there is still skepticism surrounding its safety. Generally, I have a strong opinion about these types of things, but my feelings about this vaccine are still uncertain.

One thing I am sure about though…This vaccine should not be made mandatory for anyone (including health care workers). I do believe health care workers should be among the first to have access this vaccine, since they will be the ones treating the sick. However, making it mandatory and threatening peoples jobs (especially in this economy) is totally unacceptable. But that is exactly what is happening in some states.

Cancer Awareness For Women

26 September, 2009 (13:36) | BlogHer, Health, blogging, breast cancer, life, news, thoughts, women, women bloggers, women's health | By: Catherine Morgan

It is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month.  But why do we need to have more awareness of gynecologic cancers?  Well, there are many reasons, here are three.

1. We need to be reminded of the early warning signs of these types of cancers. Not just for ourselves, but for all the women in our lives.

You could someday be the one who tells a friend she needs to see a doctor for a particular symptom she is having. You could be the one who contributes to saving her life because she caught her cancer early.

2. We need to understand that even as we go about our days untouched by cancer, there are many other women who are not as fortunate…And we need to have compassion and empathy for those women.

3. Knowledge is power…And we do not have to be powerless in the face of gynecologic cancers.

I hope that this post will address each of these aspects of awareness.

Can Thunder Thighs Reduce Your Risk of Heart Disease?

5 September, 2009 (23:07) | Health, exercise, food, heart disease, life, news, nutrition, weight loss, women, women's health | By: Catherine Morgan

Move over Swine Flu…There’s a new health scare in town. Did you know you could be in danger of death from heart disease if your thighs are too thin?

It’s true. Or at least new research says it’s true. And we all know new research is never wrong (except in the case of newer new research).

Seriously. I’m so worried about it, that I’m in my car right now on my way to get myself the sinful Angry Whopper to prevent my thighs from becoming too lean. Well, not really. I’ve finally rid myself of that grease filled spicy delight, and I don’t dare risk getting hooked on it again. But there’s always fries, ice-cream, fettuccine alfredo, or my world famous triple chocolate brownie cake (just to name a few).

Frankly, it’s been a pretty long time since I’ve been in danger of the ill effects of thin thighs (the 80’s). But that being said, we should probably address this breaking health story with the seriousness it deserves. Because if you’re one of those ‘thin thigh’ girls, you’re gonna want to figure out how to fatten those babies up before it’s too late. Or maybe not.

Lets take a look at what other women are saying about this latest research.

There was an interesting article this week in TIME magazine – Getting Real About The High Cost of Cheap Food. The article goes into detail about the harmful effects of cheap food on our environment, our finances, and ourselves.

Have you read the article?

From Choosing Raw – Nutrition in the News: The High Price of Cheap Food

Hope you’re enjoying your start to the week. I just wanted to draw everyone’s attention to Time Magazine’s very excellent cover article this week. It details the true cost–economic, medical, cultural, environmental–of mass-produced and processed food, and it’s worth reading and sending to your loved ones A.S.A.P. The article probably won’t tell you anything you didn’t learn from Food, Inc. or The Omnivore’s Dilemma, but it’s powerful, succinct, and uncompromising. Most importantly, it’s a huge sign of progress that major newsweeklies are spreading word about the true cost of cheaply produced, high-protein diets.

Gardasil: Risks vs. Benefits

31 August, 2009 (07:01) | BlogHer, Health, children, healthcare, life, news, teens, vaccines, women, women's health | By: Catherine Morgan

The controversy surrounding the Gardasil vaccine has been around from the moment it was approved for use in young girls. And from the very beginning I have had a problem with Gardasil being referred to as a cervical cancer vaccine – because it’s not. I also have a problem with the ‘fear mongering’ commercials designed to look like public service announcements, and the possibility of making this vaccine (yet another) required by the government.

In the end, I want to research the facts and be the one to make an educated decision about whether or not to vaccinate my daughter for the HPV virus. To be perfectly honest…At this point I don’t see any indication that the benefits of this vaccine outweigh the risks. Although the risks are very small, the benefits seem to be even smaller.

But don’t take my word for it…Look at some of the most recent facts about Gardasil.

Back-To-School and Swine Flu Prevention

I have to say that I am very pleased the CDC is taking a ‘no need to panic’ attitude towards back-to-school and the swine flu. I was worried they were going to pull a mandatory vaccine out of their aaass…(I mean) hat. And if that would have happened, it would have seriously thrown me off the deep end.
