Some jobs may protect against memory decline
by Amy Kraft

Although education is a well-known factor that influences a person's risk of dementia, this new study shows that an individual's job is also important. "Those occupations that were more intellectually tasking really showed bigger effects on protection than did just education," Dr. Ronald C. Petersen, director of the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer's Disease Research Center in Rochester, Minnesota, told CBS News. The study, published in the journal Neurology, mirrors similar findings by Petersen and colleagues at the Mayo Clinic that said creative hobbies such as pottery, painting and woodworking could help keep a person's brain sharp as they age.

Little Risk of Vitamin D Toxicity, Study Says

The risk for developing vitamin D toxicity is rare, researchers have found. With vitamin D supplementation on the rise, investigators set out to assess the odds of developing dangerously high blood calcium levels…"We found that even in those with high levels of vitamin D over 50 ng/mL, there was not an increased risk of hypercalcemia, or elevated serum calcium, with increasing levels of vitamin D," study co-author Dr. Thomas Thacher, a family medicine expert at the Mayo Clinic, said in a journal news release.

Context: Over the past decade, numerous studies have shown that many Americans have low vitamin D levels and as a result, vitamin D supplement use has climbed in recent years. Vitamin D has been shown to boost bone health and it may play a role in preventing diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses. In light of the increased use of vitamin D supplements, Mayo Clinic researchers set out to learn more about the health of those with high vitamin D levels.  They found that toxic levels are actually rare. Their study appears in the May issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

Parade magazine, Tom Brokaw: What Every Patient Should Know…Break down the mystique of medicine — “When you walk into a doctor’s office you’ve got to have the same attitude you would about anything else. You’ve got to ask tough questions and you’ve got to not be afraid to challenge their credentials. There’s a lot of arrogance in the medical community. There are good, reliable websites you can go to for information— the Mayo Clinic, the Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins. In my case I thought, ‘I’m on the Board of the Mayo Clinic, they did the diagnosis and they’re going to send me to Sloan-Kettering, which has a big reputation.’

Dallas Morning news, Here’s help for migraine sufferers…Don’t obsess over red wine, other triggers… “It’s key to remember, though, that migraines are caused in many people by compounding factors.

Chicago Tribune, Experts: scoliosis more rare in infants by Mike Isaacs — No one is certain just why some young people develop scoliosis. According to the Mayo Clinic website, scoliosis can be caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, but many cases develop without the presence of those diseases. Scoliosis occurs most often in people just before puberty, according to the Mayo Clinic, which is why infantile scoliosis of the kind Hailey has is less common.

Forbes, Why Is There So Much Unnecessary Care?... There are three problems with excessive testing. First, the tests cost money. Second, the test themselves can be harmful. CT scans and other forms of imaging that rely on radiation are believed to be increasing cancer rates. Third, overtesting leads to overdiagnosis — the correct diagnosis of a disease that poses no real threat.... One way some large employers are dealing with this problem is to direct employees to “centers of excellence,” where providers practice conservative medicine. Walmart employees, for example, have no out-of-pocket costs at all if they go to one of six places: the Cleveland Clinic; the Mayo Clinic…
