Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel discusses the importance of improving gut health and how increased cell phone use is linked to increased risk of heart disease. Putting a swing in their step could be just the thing to help ease the symptoms of depression in some Parkinson's patients, a new study suggests. Patients who took months of dance classes found their depression eased, a small study published recently in the Journal of Medical Internet Research says. Not only did depression symptoms ease for the Parkinson's patients, their brain scans displayed changes in their brain areas related to mood, researchers said. PARKINSON'S DISEASE RISK IS LINKED TO GUT HEALTH, RESEARCHERS SAY "It was very cool to see that dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging," senior researcher Joseph DeSouza, an associate professor of neuroscience at York University in Toronto, Canada, said in a university news release.

The future of the healthcare industry offers tons of opportunities. As, the industry is growing continuously. Also, it has been observed that the healthcare industry has wholeheartedly accepted the new technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning. The industry is always keen to accept and integrate the new tools and techniques that lead to automation. Also, with the help of AI and ML, the healthcare institutes as well as the businesses have experienced better quality of care.

NEW YORK: The outcome of robotic-assisted surgery and traditional open surgery are equally effective in treating bladder cancer, say researchers, led by one of an Indian-origin. The results, published in the journal The Lancet, may help patients and doctors to make informed decisions on the use of robotic surgery, which is not cheap, the researchers said. There has been an assumption that patients who receive robotic surgery will perceive a better quality of life than patients who have open surgery. However, the trial showed that both groups had a significant return to their previous quality of life, and there was no advantage of one group over the other at three and six months after surgery. "We have done more than four million surgeries with the robotic approach since the device came into existence, and on average we do close to a million robotic surgeries a year globally," said Dipen J. Parekh, Chief Clinical Officer at the University of Miami, Florida in the US.
