Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. There is strong evidence that screening for CRC with colonoscopy, other visual exams, or stool-based tests can reduce CRC mortality. As a result, several expert organizations have long recommended regular CRC screening for US adults ages 50 to 75.

In 2018, the American Cancer Society (ACS) became the first major organization to recommend CRC screening starting at 45.

Why did the ACS recommend CRC screening starting at 45?

The incidence of CRC and mortality from the disease has declined over the last several decades among adults over 50, which may reflect the effectiveness of screening in this age group. In contrast, since the early 1990s, there has been an increase in CRC incidence and mortality among individuals younger than 50.

The absolute risk of any given individual younger than 50 developing CRC remains substantially lower than in older adults. But due to delays in diagnosis, younger patients are often diagnosed at later stages, when the disease is more challenging to treat. And they tend to experience greater loss of high-quality and productive years of life due to premature death from CRC.

The ACS recommendation was based, in part, on a prediction model that considered the trend of increasing CRC incidence in younger individuals. Theirs was a “qualified” recommendation, by which the ACS indicates that “there is clear evidence of benefit of screening but less certainty about the balance of benefits and harms or about patient’s values and preferences, which could lead to different decisions about screening.”

What accounts for the increase in early-onset CRC?

The bottom line is that we still do not know why more people are being diagnosed with CRC before 50. There are established genetic risk factors for CRC, including hereditary syndromes that increase the risk of developing CRC at a young age. However, the vast majority of early-onset CRCs occur among individuals with no family history.

Thus, recent trends in early-onset CRC are likely due to changes in environmental exposures. Initial epidemiologic studies point to risk factors such as childhood obesity, dietary habits, and antibiotic usage early in life.

Will starting screening at an earlier age reduce early-onset CRC?

It is still too early to tell. Modeling studies, like the one considered by the ACS, rely on assumptions and are limited by inherent uncertainties. For example, the ACS model assumes that screening will have a similar level of benefit in those younger than 50 as it does on those 50 to 75. But there are no direct clinical data to support this. In addition, the potential harms of screening in those younger than 50, such as false positive results that could lead to additional testing, are not well quantified.

Other organizations with established expertise in assessing the risks and benefits of CRC screening have yet to modify their recommendations. Thus, for the time being, individuals between 45 and 50 should discuss with their doctors whether to begin screening at 45 or wait until 50.

What else can people do to prevent CRC?

In addition to screening, quitting smoking, maintaining a high level of physical activity, avoiding overweight and obesity, and consuming alcohol in moderation are all known to reduce the risk of CRC. Limiting consumption of processed meats and red meat, particularly those that are prepared at high temperatures (such as through grilling and charring) is also prudent.

Finally, there are strong data supporting the use of aspirin to prevent CRC. The US Preventive Services Task Force has recommended regular aspirin use for the prevention of CRC. However, given potential risks associated with aspirin, such as bleeding, anyone considering aspirin for disease prevention should discuss this with their doctor.

At the age of 17, when he wasn’t certain about most things in his life, there was just one exception. Manish Arora was confident that his sexuality was nothing that “needs to be discussed”. “I never had a doubt about my sexuality even as a teenager. But did I ever feel a need to talk about it? No. May be because I thought, ‘Why do I need to discuss it?’ Straight people do not go around telling the world about who they are, so why should I be ‘discussing’ it? I always believed that you should not justify who you are to anyone,” he says.

A dropped catch is often the difference between lifting the World Cup and going home empty-handed, a fact which has not been lost on Kohli’s India.

Not all headache disorders are the same. An excruciating, sudden-onset headache known as thunderclap headache (TCH) is a medical emergency, very different from more common headache disorders such as migraine and tension headache. If you develop TCH, you should call 911 or immediately go to the closest hospital.

TCH is associated with a variety of causes, ranging from benign to potentially fatal. Urgent evaluation in an emergency setting is needed to quickly identify and treat any underlying condition.

Diagnosing and treating secondary thunderclap headache

When you arrive at the hospital, the medical team will want to confirm or rule out a potentially serious, secondary cause of the TCH. The initial history and examination will focus on red flags that suggest specific secondary causes.

A secondary TCH has an underlying cause, other than the headache itself. For example, neck stiffness or sleepiness may suggest a ruptured brain aneurysm or infection; a drooping eyelid may indicate a tear in the carotid artery (the main artery supplying the brain); seizures or sudden limb weakness may suggest clots in a blood vessel, or bleeding in the brain (hemorrhage). Absence of these signs and symptoms does not definitively rule out these causes, which is why you will likely undergo imaging of the brain and its blood vessels with either computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). If imaging does not reveal a clear secondary cause, a lumbar puncture, or spinal tap, may be needed.

If a secondary cause is identified, the underlying problem will be treated. For example, if your TCH was caused by a blood clot in an artery, it would be treated with clot-busting medications or the clot would be removed via a catheter-based procedure.

Primary thunderclap headache and RCVS

If no obvious cause is found, TCH is considered “primary,” or “idiopathic.” Primary TCH typically affects young adults. It is commonly associated with physical triggers such as cough, exercise, and sexual activity.

Rarely, people can develop multiple, recurrent TCHs within a span of a few days. In such cases, imaging invariably shows alternating areas of narrowing and dilation (the appearance is described as “a sausage on a string”) of multiple brain arteries. This condition is called reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome, or RCVS. RCVS can also develop in patients with a single TCH.

Approximately 30% to 50% of patients with RCVS go on to develop brain hemorrhage, strokes, and brain swelling. Thus, if you are diagnosed with RCVS, you will likely be admitted to the hospital for a few days of observation. Despite these possible complications, people with RCVS generally do well; the flurry of TCHs usually subsides within days, and the arterial narrowing resolves on its own within a few weeks.

Treating primary thunderclap headache and RCVS

There is no known preventive medication for primary TCH or RCVS. Bed rest is recommended, since exercise, anxiety, and sexual activity can precipitate more TCHs. Laxatives and stool softeners are also recommended, since straining or bearing down can trigger TCH.

The extreme head pain usually settles in a few minutes, but moderate to severe headache can persist for several hours. Common pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil) may help. Treatment with more potent drugs, such as morphine and other opioids, may be prescribed for prolonged or very severe head pain.

Certain medications should not be used to treat TCH. These include glucocorticoids, triptans, and other anti-migraine medications, which induce narrowing of brain arteries and can worsen the situation. People with RCVS should also avoid certain drugs for several weeks. These include serotonin-enhancing antidepressants (SSRIs and SNRIs), ecstasy, cannabis, and sympathomimetic and amphetamine derivatives such as pseudoephedrine (a common ingredient in many cough-and-cold remedies, exercise stimulants, and diet pills).

Primary TCH can recur intermittently for several years. Recurrence of an episode of RCVS is extremely rare. Most people can resume routine physical activities and gradually increase the intensity of exercise two to four weeks after the sudden-onset headaches subside.

The extreme head pain of primary TCH and RCVS can understandably evoke significant anxiety. But the long-term outcome is nearly always benign.

The American Heart Association and the FDA recommend that we all eat at least 25 grams of dietary fiber per day. But what is it, how do we know how much we’re eating, and where did that number come from, anyway?

What are the types of fiber?

Dietary fiber is a good carbohydrate, also known as roughage, found in plant foods (not supplements). There are two kinds, soluble or insoluble, and both are really good for us. Soluble fiber becomes a thick gel in our intestines, which slows digestion (which keeps blood sugars from spiking) and traps fats so they can’t all be absorbed (which lowers cholesterol levels). Sources of soluble fiber include oatmeal, beans, lentils, and many fruits. Insoluble fiber helps keep our stools soft and regular, always a good thing! Sources of insoluble fiber include whole grains, beans, lentils, and most vegetables. Both soluble and insoluble fiber make us feel full, which helps us to eat less.

Why is fiber so good for us?

But fiber does so, so much more. In a recent research study published in The Lancet, investigators pooled the results from 243 studies looking at health effects of dietary fiber. They excluded any studies about fiber supplements — this was all about fiber from food. They ended up with data from over 4,600 people, and found a very strong relationship between higher dietary fiber intake and better health outcomes. Basically, intake of at least 25 grams of food fiber a day is associated with a lower weight, blood pressure, blood sugars, cholesterol, as well as lower risk of developing (or dying from) diabetes, heart disease, strokes, and breast or colon cancer. Study results were extremely consistent, and the dose-response curve was very linear, meaning the more fiber, the better the outcomes. This makes us believe the results are very real and not due to some other factor related to study participants’ diet or lifestyle.

Consuming good carbs means more daily fiber

Unfortunately, most of us are consuming fewer than 20 grams of fiber per day. I know many people who shy away from the carbs in whole grains, beans, and fruit, thus missing out on all that healthy fiber. But here’s the deal: there’s good carbs and bad carbs, and whole grains, beans, and vegetables are all good, folks. It’s the quality of the carb that counts. Worried about gassy effects? In the short term, start low and use simethicone (a common, gentle anti-gas medication) as needed. Your body will become accustomed over time, and the effects will diminish.

Fiber-packed meals are easy

Let’s put together a very simple yet flexible meal using boiled red lentils, store-bought or homemade hummus, whole-wheat wraps, and a simple salad made with mixed greens, tomatoes, and cucumbers dressed with only lemon juice and olive oil. This meal is so easy and healthy, and it can be served to guests or packed up for lunch at the work desk. This meal has half the recommended daily fiber and almost 20 grams of protein, plus calcium, iron, and potassium.

Mediterranean-Style Heart-Healthy High-Fiber Buffet

Many of these ingredients can be purchased inexpensively or prepared super-quickly, and no one will know you weren’t cooking all day.

 

Cooked and seasoned red lentils (1 cup raw lentils to 3 cups water, bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, then sprinkle with sea salt and lemon juice. Add chopped fresh herbs too, if you like. Serve hot or cold.)

Very simple salad (mixed greens, sliced cherry tomatoes, and chopped cucumber, dressed in extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss it all up and serve.)

1 container hummus (or you can make your own)

Whole-wheat wraps

Optional: kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, baba ganouj, or other Mediterranean goodies, low-salt versions preferred

 

There are many resources available to guide you on healthy high-fiber food choices. Basically, consuming fruits, veggies, beans and legumes, and nuts and seeds regularly will ensure that you get at least 25 grams of fiber every day!
