"Survey Seeks Parkinson's Tremor Patients to Assess Symptom Burden"

People with Parkinson’s disease who experience tremors are encouraged to participate in an online survey, "Burden of Tremor in Parkinson’s Disease," aimed at understanding the impact of tremors on daily life and ultimately improving treatment options. The survey, conducted by PMD Alliance and neurology professor Robert Hauser, seeks to gather insights from at least 500 participants to shape future awareness, treatment strategies, and support systems. The results will be shared with the scientific community and may contribute to the development of better treatments for this aspect of the disease.

Teju Cole: Exploring Art, History, and Reluctant Cosmopolitanism

Teju Cole's latest novel, Tremor, is a weaker book compared to his debut, Open City, as it trades the complex characters for moral self-regard and po-faced lectures. The protagonist, Tunde, explores themes of racism and identity as he rambles through time and space, but the book lacks the ambivalence and lyricism that made Open City so compelling. Cole's evolution towards a more politically unobjectionable narrative may have hindered the book's ability to engage readers, as it becomes closed off and laborious. Despite this, Cole's skill in weaving together discussions of art and history is evident, but the reliance on pastiches and mimicry suggests a crisis of confidence in the central character.

Unlocking the Mystery of Stubborn High Cholesterol: Diet Alone Not Enough

High cholesterol can be caused by genetics, and even if it doesn't run in the family, some individuals simply produce more cholesterol. While medication is typically prescribed for high cholesterol, lifestyle changes such as weight loss and incorporating specific foods like oats, soya products, nuts, and cholesterol-lowering drinks can help. Shaking or tremors in the hands can have various causes, including essential tremor, underlying medical conditions, or medication side effects. It's important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. Foot drop, characterized by the inability to lift the foot, can result from nerve damage and may be treated with electrical nerve stimulation or surgery. Kim Kardashian's endorsement of a private medical scan as "life-saving" raises concerns about the influence of celebrities giving health advice. Fertility anxiety among young women is on the rise, fueled by social media and increased accessibility to stories of fertility problems, leading some to consider freezing their eggs at a young age. However, the majority of women can conceive without assistance until the age of 35, and even at 40, around 40% of couples can get pregnant within a year.
