A study conducted as part of the Scars of Life project has found that adults who developed atopic dermatitis (AD) in childhood experience a greater psychological and social burden throughout their lives compared to those who developed AD in adulthood. The study collected data from over 30,000 individuals in 27 countries and found that childhood-onset AD consistently resulted in worse outcomes in terms of stigmatization and social behavior. The study suggests that early intervention in childhood AD may lead to better long-term outcomes, and the findings highlight the importance of effective treatment for atopic dermatitis in children.

A recent study published in JAMA Pediatrics found that melatonin usage among children in the United States is on the rise, with almost one in five kids over the age of 5 having taken the sleep aid in the past 30 days. The study highlights the need for clinicians to discuss with parents the potential safety issues associated with melatonin usage, as well as the various factors that could be driving sleep disturbances. The study also notes that melatonin products are often mislabeled, with higher quantities of the active ingredient than stated on the label. Calls to poison control for melatonin ingestion have also increased, particularly among children under 5 years old. However, there is limited evidence available on intentional melatonin usage in this population. The study conducted an online survey of parents with children aged 1.0-13.9 years to gather data on melatonin usage, including frequency, dose, timing, and duration of use. The survey revealed that melatonin usage was most common in the older age groups, with rates of 18.5% in the school-aged group and 19.4% in the preteen group, compared to 5.6% in the preschool group. Melatonin was typically administered 30 minutes before bedtime, often in the form of a gummy or chewable tablet. The median dose and duration of use increased with age. The study concludes that melatonin usage among children and adolescents in the U.S. is common, despite a lack of evidence on long [Extracted from the article]

Some healthcare providers may be administering the entire contents of the vial, leading to concerns from parents about potential overdoses. The FDA has clarified that only 0.25 mL should be withdrawn from the vial and any excess should be discarded. The FDA has not identified any safety risks associated with the higher dose, but healthcare providers are advised to ensure the correct dosage is given. [Extracted from the article]

Colonoscopy is the gold standard method for detecting colorectal cancer (CRC) and removing precancerous polyps. The recommended age for CRC screening in the United States is 45-75 years, with the benefits of colonoscopy diminishing after this point. Older adults are more likely to experience complications from colonoscopy, and the risks often outweigh the benefits of catching early-stage cancer. The decision to continue screening or surveillance colonoscopies should be based on individual factors such as life expectancy, comorbidities, and screening history. Communication with patients about the risks and benefits of screening is important, and alternative tests or prioritizing other health problems may be more sensitive ways to discuss stopping or reducing screening.

A recent study published in JAMA Network Open found that the incidence of colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC) in individuals aged 46-49 years has been increasing. This is significant because it suggests that earlier screening for CRC may be necessary. The study compared the incidence rates of different stages of CRC in this age group and found that distant and regional-stage CRC had been increasing, while localized CRC had decreased. The findings support the recommendation of starting average-risk screening at age 45, as suggested by the United States Preventive Services Task Force and other GI societies. However, there is still uncertainty about the cause of this increase in CRC incidence. Further research is needed to determine optimal screening age and to explore other factors that may impact risk.

New data suggests that among adults over 65 with type 2 diabetes, a moderate overweight body mass index (BMI) may offer better protection against cardiovascular death compared to a "normal" BMI. However, for middle-aged adults with type 2 diabetes, the "normal" BMI range is optimal. This reflects the "obesity paradox," where older individuals with overweight may have better outcomes due to factors like bone loss and frailty. The study emphasizes the importance of personalized BMI targets based on age and specific health conditions. However, more research is needed to understand the mechanisms underlying these observations and to validate the findings in different populations. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report by the Pew Research Center has revealed flaws in the methodology of certain polls on antisemitism. One such poll conducted by the Economist/YouGov in December found that 20% of participants aged 18-29 believed that "The Holocaust is a myth." However, Pew's investigation discovered that the poll's online opt-in format was prone to inaccuracy, as participants often provided improbable answers to earn rewards. Pew conducted a more reliable survey and found that only 3% of respondents across all age groups agreed that the Holocaust is a myth. This information may provide reassurance to those concerned about the prevalence of antisemitism. [Extracted from the article]

Iasos, a pioneer of New Age music, has passed away at the age of 76. In the late 1960s, Iasos began creating the music he heard in his mind, which he called "paradise music." He believed that the sounds he heard were telepathic transmissions from a being in a higher dimension, and he saw himself as a missionary, distributing the music on Earth to heal humanity. Although Iasos' work remained obscure for many years, it gained recognition in the 2000s and influenced the wellness trends of soundbaths, reiki, and crystals. Despite his impact on the genre, Iasos did not achieve financial success. He remained optimistic about a harmonious new epoch and believed in the power of his music. [Extracted from the article]
