Studies link caffeine to PMS symptoms and youth strokes
Oregon State University researchers report in the American Journal of Public Health that caffeine intake correlates with more severe premenstrual syndrome symptoms such as anxiety and mood swings. The same issue notes crack cocaine linked to strokes in 28 young adults within 72 hours of use, reflecting broader cocaine stroke risks found by other researchers. Columbia University researchers warn of rising obesity and high blood pressure in US children, with potential future cardiovascular disease. UCSF scientists report fetal animal surgery heals without scars, suggesting possible human scarless surgeries, while cleft lip repairs in rabbit fetuses show no defects postnatally. A DeWitt Health Center East class offers a two-hour child safety and health basics session October 2, with a registration deadline Wednesday.

Altitude illness types and prevention guidance
Stephen Lombardo, a Los Angeles sports medicine specialist, explains altitude illness linked to sport. AMS occurs around 7000 to 8000 feet with headaches and nausea. HAPE at 9000 to 10000 feet causes breathlessness and weakness. HACE at 10000 to 12000 feet requires urgent care. HARH appears above 17000 feet and improves only with descent. Prevention centers on gradual acclimatization and avoiding risk factors.
