A new study reveals older women have a greater risk of heart failure if they spend more time sitting than those who sit less. And according to UPI, that's even if they have a regular fitness routine. As part of the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study, researchers analyzed the records of 80,100 postmenopausal women who were roughly 63 years old. Women spending less than 6.5 hours daily sitting or lying down had 15% less risk of heart failure hospitalization than women spending 9.5 sedentary hours daily. The data also showed the less sedentary women had a 42% less risk of heart failure hospitalization than women reporting more than 9.5 hours sedentary hours.

Doctors in Florida say a man who contracted a rare brain infection got it from his habit of hunting feral pigs. Gizmodo reports the man developed a serious kind of infection caused by Brucella bacteria. Brucella infection, or brucellosis, is known as 'goat fever' in some countries. It has mostly disappeared in the US. The man had been dealing with fever, headache, and other symptoms for 11 months by the time he saw doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. Doctors suspected and confirmed that he had neurobrucellosis. He was treated with an extensive course of antibiotics.
Seeing how you actually look at work has become a day-to-day reality for millions of workers using video platforms such as Zoom and Skype. And according to Business Insider, that's led to a great leap in the demand for cosmetic surgery. After looking at themselves in screens, more people are opting for face and neck lifts, cosmetic dentistry and hair restoration. A London clinic has reported a fivefold increase in bookings. Another surgical clinic in north-west England said the demand was 'crazy.' It's not necessarily just about vanity, though. For many, appearing attractive, youthful, and well-groomed is a key element of their professional toolkit. Not only that, working at home makes it far easier to deal with the sometimes unsightly recuperation period.
A Seattle doctor says her patient 'came back from the dead' after his heart stopped for 45 minutes and he froze to death. 45-year-old hiker Michael Knapinski was found unconscious after being lost in whiteout conditions on Mount Rainier in Washington state. Knapinski was put on life support after arriving at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, last week. But his team of doctors quickly decided he would be the perfect patient for the life support machine known as ECMO--essentially a 'heart' outside the body. According to CNN, doctors were able to jumpstart his heart. I'm extremely grateful to everybody here at the hospital for not giving up on me. I'm alive and breathing. Michael Knapinski
