According to a government report, new hepatitis C infections have nearly tripled over the last five years in the United States, reaching a 15-year high. Hepatitis C is a virus that is spread by contact with contaminated blood, such as sharing needles, unsterile tattoo equipment, or through unprotected sex. Over the long term, the condition can result in cirrhosis of the liver, which can require a transplant. Health officials for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) note the highest number of new hepatitis C infections were among 20-29 year olds, mostly as a result of injecting drugs linked to the current opioid epidemic. The CDC's Dr. Jonathan Mermin adds, “We must reach the hardest-hit communities with a range of prevention and treatment services that can diagnose people with hepatitis C and link them to treatment. This wide range of services can also prevent the misuse of prescription drugs and ultimately stop drug use—which can also prevent others from getting hepatitis C in the first place.”

Going on a diet does not mean eating only bland and boring foods. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends adding flavor the following ways: pan-sear, grill, or broil to intensify flavors; drizzle vegetables with olive oil, then roast in an oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232.2 degrees Celsius); caramelize onions over low heat in a pan with a little oil to give a sweet flavor; add colorful peppers or some hot sauce; add citrus fruit, chipotle peppers, cilantro, or pomegranate seeds to give richer flavor; and use flavorful condiments, such as horseradish, mustard, chutney, or salsa.

Tai chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that today is practiced as a graceful form of exercise. In a new study, researchers surveyed 90 breast cancer survivors and found that this slow-moving form of meditation is as good as talk therapy and more effective than medication in treating insomnia. The study suggests that breast cancer survivors should consider this gentle form of exercise if they experience difficulty sleeping.

Investigators recently performed a research review on the relationship between lower back pain and lumbar lordosis (curve) using data concerning 796 low back pain patients and 927 healthy controls from a total of 13 published studies. The researchers found that overall, lower back pain patients tended to have a smaller lumbar lordotic curve than those without back pain. Furthermore, the research team observed that the loss of lumbar lordotic curvature is significantly associated with lower back pain caused by either disk herniation or disk degeneration.
