Sportscaster Sean McDonough to Have Head
Surgery
ESPN sportscaster Sean McDonough, 50, will have surgery Aug. 7 to fix a
small hole in the bone that separates his left inner ear from his
brain.
He was diagnosed with the condition, called superior canal dehiscence
syndrome (SCDS), earlier this year after he accidentally hit himself on
the head with a golf putter and began to experience strange
sensations.
“I immediately heard loud squealing in my ears. My own footsteps
sounded so loud — like bang, bang, bang — and my voice sounded louder in
my head,” McDonough told USA Today.
SCDS occurs when a small hole develops in the bone separating the inner
ear from the brain. In some people, this bone is very small and then
something happens to create a hole.
“Likely for Sean, it was about to break through and it was just the
blow from the golf club that triggered the onset of symptoms,” Dr. Daniel
Lee, the ear and skull base surgeon who will perform McDonough’s surgery
at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, told USA Today.

Halt Sales of Shellfish From Korea: FDA
The sale of all fresh, frozen, canned and processed oysters, clams,
mussels and whole and roe-on scallops from Korea must be halted, the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration says.
The FDA said all these molluscan shellfish products and any products
made with them may have been exposed to human feces and could be
contaminated with norovirus, which can cause gastroenteritis, also known
as stomach flu.
Symptoms of gastroenteritis include diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting,
headache, fever and chills. Dehydration is a common problem for people
with gastroenteritis.
Following initial notifications issued last month by the FDA, a number
of food companies have started to remove these products from their
distribution chain, but many others have yet to take action.
Consumers who recently bought molluscan shellfish should check the
labeling to see if it came from Korea. If the label does not make it clear
where the product is from, consumers should contact the store where it was
purchased or call the manufacturer to find out, the FDA said.

Americans’ Stress Levels Have Risen Since
Early 1980s: Study
A new study confirms what many Americans feel — that there’s more
stress in their lives today than 25 years ago.
Researchers analyzed data from more than 6,300 people and concluded
that stress increased 24 percent for men and 18 percent for women from
1983 to 2009, USA Today reported.
The analysis of data from surveys in 1983, 2006 and 2009 also revealed
that women and people with lower incomes and less education have higher
levels of stress, and that stress tends to decrease with age.
“Thirty-year-olds have less stress than 20-year-olds, and 40-year-olds
have less stress than 30-year-olds,” study lead author and psychologist
Sheldon Cohen, director of the Laboratory for the Study of Stress,
Immunity and Disease at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, told
USA Today.
The study was published online in the Journal of Applied Social
Psychology.

Internet Behind Explosion of Fake Drug Sales:
Expert
The Internet is responsible for the huge increase in the number of
counterfeit drugs sold around the world, according to an expert.
The global trade in fake medicines in believed to be worth about $75
billion and criminal gangs are increasingly using the Web to move such
products across borders, Scott Davis, drug maker Pfizer’s top security
expert for Asia, said at a health forum in the Philippines, Agence
France-Presse reported.
“The Internet has led to an explosion of availability of these
products,” Davis told an audience Thursday. “About 90 percent of
counterfeit drugs … are at some point marketed and sold on the
Internet.”
He said Web sites that sell fake drugs often don’t have physical
addresses and exploit weak or unclear customs rules to ship their
products, AFP reported.
China is the biggest source of counterfeit drugs, followed by Jordan,
the United States, Israel and Canada, Davis said.
