Health Matters - Dementia is one of the scariest diagnoses in medicine, in part because it seems impossible to prevent.
Dementia is one of the scariest diagnoses in medicine, in part because it seems impossible to prevent. But recent research suggests that's not the case. In fact, a new report based on an analysis of hundreds of studies says almost half of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed if people adopted certain habits. These are among the most effective.

How Often Should You Wash Your Bedding? - most of us could benefit from washing our bedding more often. Sheets, pillowcases, and comforters can harbor dirt, germs, and allergens that affect our skin and overall health, says Dr. Hannah Kopelman, a dermatologist in New York.
Health experts agree that Castle is onto something: most of us could benefit from washing our bedding more often. Sheets, pillowcases, and comforters can harbor dirt, germs, and allergens that affect our skin and overall health, says Dr. Hannah Kopelman, a dermatologist in New York. It's a buildup of all these contaminants, and eventually that could lead to skin irritation and acne breakouts, she says. You might notice your skin feels like it has clogged pores or folliculitis, which happens when hair follicles become inflamed.

Health Matters- It's summer, and Flu and RSV have come and gone. But as ever, COVID-19 is different. Even though the pandemic is behind us, the virus is once again surging in the U.S.
On top of getting vaccinated, it might be time for some people to consider masking again-since a more transmissible virus is circulating, and more people are traveling and gathering in crowded public settings like airports. "If I were in a high-risk group and I'm in a large group of people I didn't know-like on an airplane-I think it's reasonable to wear a mask," says Murphy. That consideration should also apply to people who are sick. "I think anyone who has a respiratory illness should stay at home," says Offit. "And if you can't stay at home, you should wear a mask. If you're in a high-risk group, get tested-and if you have COVID-19, take an antiviral."

An Audacious New Read of The Decameron - The author Rivka Galchen sums up this reading in her Decameron Project introduction: "Reading stories in difficult times is a way to understand those times, and also a way to persevere through them."
Boccaccio's masterpiece follows 10 young nobles fleeing an outbreak in Florence that would ultimately reduce the city's population by half. To pass the time in their rural idyll, they tell the stories that make up the bulk of the book-one apiece for 10 days, hence the title. The consensus interpretation of The Decameron is that it illustrates the power of storytelling to buoy us through history's horrors. The author Rivka Galchen sums up this reading in her Decameron Project introduction: "Reading stories in difficult times is a way to understand those times, and also a way to persevere through them." Kathleen Jordan, the creator of Netflix's The Decameron, came away from her pandemic-era reading of Boccaccio with a different understanding. What if, her black comedy proposes, the book's true timeless message is that whether they're Florentine aristocrats in 1348 or Manhattan financiers in 2020, the privileged will always blithely abandon their less fortunate neighbors when the plague comes to town? Jordan has stripped The Decameron of its stories, choosing instead to riff on the frame narrative.

Everyone On the Web Will Die. What About Their Data?- The internet is aging. As soon as the 2060s, there may be more dead than alive users on Facebook.
The internet is aging. As soon as the 2060s, there may be more dead than alive users on Facebook. We know that everyone using the internet will die, and that hundreds of millions, if not billions, will do so in the next three decades. We know this poses a serious threat to an economy based on targeted ads (the dead don't click on them). We also know that whoever seizes control over dead-user data will wield enormous power over our future access to the past. Just consider that one person –Elon Musk, no less– now owns the entirety of the tweets that constitute(d) the Arab Spring, #MeToo, and Black Lives Matter. When future historians seek to understand their past, it is the Musks and Mark Zuckerbergs of the world who will set the terms.

As the Personal Check Disappears, What Comes Next? The check. A thousand years later, this form of payment is finally disappearing.
The newest type of payment –the first to be introduced in the U.S. since the 1970s– is called instant payments, in which money moves from your account to another immediately. You may think you already use instant payments with services like Venmo, but you don't. Those payments come from a Venmo account rather than directly from your bank account, and the funds can take some time to move.

WATERGATE'S REAL LEGACY
When Richard Nixon resigned, 50 years ago this August, he became the first and (so far) only U.S. President driven from the nation's highest office. His departure was the result of the political establishment coming together in the wake of Watergate. The experience, Nixon's successor asserted, had vindicated American democracy. \"Our Constitution works,\" President Gerald Ford declared.

The Complicated Work of Treating Trauma - Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk has spent 30 years figuring out why people behave so strangely.
The Body Keeps the Score is not a self-help book; it is a summary of the scientific advances in understanding and treating trauma in the past century and why van der Kolk believes medicine is still not grappling with it effectively. But for many readers, it was an epiphany. As the book has lingered atop best-seller lists for the past five years, trauma has been elevated from a subject discussed mostly in the medical and military communities to a feature of the national conversation.
