Mental Attitude: Talk to Your Doctor About Emotional Struggles. Studies show that one’s emotional health can affect their
physical health. So, if you experience physical symptoms, it’s important to share with your doctor if you’re also experiencing
issues with stress or anxiety. Once your doctor is informed, the American Academy of Family Physicians suggests that he or
she can take steps to learn if a mental health condition may be at least partly responsible for your physical symptoms. By
working together, it can be easier to find ways to manage your emotions, which could hopefully improve your physical
symptoms. American Academy of Family Physicians, April 2017
Health Alert: Thyroid Cancer Cases Continue to Increase. The number of Americans with thyroid cancer has more than
tripled over the past 40 years, and it continues to rise more than 3% per year. According to the American Cancer Society, nearly
57,000 new cases of thyroid cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2017. American Medical Association, March 2017
Diet: Allergic to Peanuts? Other Tree Nuts Might Still Be Safe to Eat. Having an allergy to one type of nut may not mean
you’re allergic to other types. Researchers examined the medical records of just over 100 patients allergic to a single type of tree
nut and tested them for an allergic reaction to other tree nuts and found that despite showing a sensitivity to the additional tree
nuts in blood prick and skin tests, more than 50% of the participants had no reaction after eating the other types of nuts. Lead
study author Dr. Christopher Couch notes, "The findings show that there is a wider margin of error than previously thought
[with blood prick and skin tests]." Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, March 2017
Exercise: New Moms More Likely to Benefit from Less Structured Workout Program. According to a new study, new
mothers need more flexibility and support to ease back into an exercise routine after giving birth. In the study, investigators
found that new moms who could choose their favorite exercise increased their physical activity slightly more than moms in a
regimented running group. Study author Dr. Emily Mailey adds, "The results of this study suggest that the idea of encouraging
new moms to fit in any kind of activity any way they can might be the best approach for easing back into exercise after giving
birth." Journal of Health Psychology, March 2017
Chiropractic: Car Accidents Linked with Future Back Pain Risk. In this study, a team of researchers randomly chose 789
adults with either no or mild low back pain (LBP) and followed up with them one year later. They found that those who had
experienced back pain in relation to a motor vehicle collision (MVC) earlier in their lives were twice as likely to report having
had an episode of moderate to severe back pain during the course of the study. The researchers conclude, “Our analysis suggests
that a history of low back injury in a MVC is a risk factor for developing future troublesome LBP. The consequences of a low
back injury in a MVC can predispose individuals to experience recurrent episodes of low back pain.”
European Spine Journal, April 2017
Wellness/Prevention: Plenty of IV Fluids May Make Childbirth Safer and Easier. Administering more intravenous (IV)
fluids to women during childbirth appears to reduce the risk of cesarean section (C-section) and shorten labor. In this study,
investigators reviewed seven clinical trials that included more than 1,200 women who either received 250 milliliters or 125
milliliters of IV fluids per hour during labor. The review revealed that those who received more IV fluids were less likely to
have a C-section and were in labor for 64 minutes less, on average. Though the study did not prove that more IV fluids caused
labor to be safer and shorter, the results are compelling and provide a strong argument for a change in practice.
