Gabriel Daniel Fernandez was born on February 20, 2005 to Arnold Contreras and Pearl Fernandez. Shortly after birth, Gabriel was put in the custody of his great-uncle on his mother’s side, Michael Lemos Carranza, and his partner David Martinez. They continued to raise Fernandez for four years. In 2009, four-year-old Gabriel moved in with his grandparents, due to his grandfather’s objection to Carranza’s and Martinez’s same-sex relationship. He lived with his grandparents until 2012, when his mother, Pearl Fernandez, and her boyfriend, Isauro Aguirre, regained physical custody of him despite concerns for his welfare expressed by the family.

Throughout his eight-month stay in the household of Pearl Fernandez and Isauro Aguirre, Gabriel Fernandez was systematically abused and tortured. The abuse included regular physical beatings causing broken bones, being forced to eat cat litter and feces, his own vomit, and spoiled or expired foods, being burned with cigarettes, being shot with a BB gun in various areas of the body, including the face and groin, being pepper-sprayed, being forced to wear women’s clothing, having to sleep bound and gagged in a small cupboard, and having his teeth knocked out with a bat. According to Fernandez’s siblings, while Fernandez was being abused, his mother and stepfather would laugh. According to prosecutors, Aguirre was allegedly motivated to abuse Fernandez because he believed he was gay.The abuse and torture extended to Fernandez’s siblings, except it was directed more towards Gabriel.

On May 22, 2013, Pearl Fernandez called 9-1-1 to report that her child, Gabriel Fernandez, was not breathing. Fernandez had been fatally beaten by his mother and Aguirre after failing to clean up his toys. When first responders arrived, they found him on the ground naked with several injuries. Aguirre explained to them that Fernandez was “gay”, despite the information being irrelevant. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital where doctors declared him brain dead. He passed away two days later on May 24, 2013 at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. He died at the age of eight years old, and the official autopsy declared he died of blunt force trauma coincided with neglect and malnutrition.

In the aftermath of Gabriel Fernandez’s death, both Pearl Fernandez and Isauro Aguirre were arrested and charged with the boy’s murder. Pearl pled guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison. Aguirre was also found guilty of first-degree murder and was sentenced to death. (Currently, however, California has suspended all capital punishment, so Aguirre remains in prison for the foreseeable future.)

A judge Tuesday denied a request for re-sentencing by Pearl Sinthia Fernandez, a 37-year-old Palmdale woman who previously pleaded guilty to the first-degree murder of her 8-year-old son, Gabriel Fernandez.

Circulating vitamin D level and mortality in prostate cancer patients: a dose–response meta-analysis

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30352424/

Results

Higher vitamin D level could reduce the risk of death among prostate cancer patients.

Association of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D level with prognosis of prostate cancer

We conducted a dose-response meta-analysis

Seven eligible cohort studies, n = 7, 808

The summary HR of prostate cancer-specific mortality

An increment of every 20 nmol/L in circulating
vitamin D,

(20 nmol/L = 8 ng/ml)

HR = 0.91, (P = 0.002)

Every 20 nmol/L increment in 25-hydroxyvitamin D level was associated with a 9% lower risk of,

all-cause mortality,

and prostate cancer-specific mortality.

Pooled HRs were stable and not obviously changed by any single study.

No evidence of publications bias was observed.

This meta-analysis suggested that higher 25-hydroxyvitamin D level was associated with a reduction of mortality in prostate cancer patients,

and vitamin D is an important protective factor in the progression and prognosis of prostate cancer.

Risk estimates with 95% CI for the association between 25(OH)D and prostate cancer-specific mortality.

Mechanism

Vit D, could cause cell cycle arrest,

and induce apoptosis,

inhibiting cell proliferation in several prostate cancer cell lines

Protection from prostate epithelial cell lines from oxidative stress

Smoking is the leading preventable risk factor of cardiovascular disease in adults. In addition to the fact that smoking can cause lung cancer and other diseases its relation to the heart is very important. All the more in the Indian scenario the cause of smoking is the most modifiable risk factor for causing heart attacks is very important. Smoking in any form in the form of beedis, cigarettes or in the form of cigars or pipes or e-cigarettes or non smoking form of tobacco in the form of stuff are dangerous. The risk of smoking with heart disease is depended upon the number of cigarettes smoked to the duration of years in which it is being smoked. There is no cut off value below which it is considered to be safe. Smoking is deleterious to the heart. It could be in the form of causing sudden heart attacks in young patient. It is seen that in the south Asian population the heart attacks come much earlier. This in compared to the Western population one common reason is smoking. Smoking causes increased tendency of the blood to clot because of which a sudden heart attack can come. The benefits of stopping smoking is an important question which is not realised by many of them. Smoking when stopped reduce the risk of further heart attack by one third by the end of one year and the risk almost goes to that of a normal person who is a non smoker by the end of two years. This is a fact with the general population that don’t realise much. So it is always good to stop smoking than to continue it. The benefits of quit smoking continues from the time it is stopped and the benefits continues as it is quit for a long time.

Bitten! Mosquito-Borne Disease & You
MOSQUITOES AS VECTORS

Mosquitoes are insects that live all over the world. When a female mosquito lands on you and bites you, it drinks a small amount of your blood. Human blood contains essential nutrients mosquitoes need to produce their eggs. The bite usually causes an itchy bump and may produce an allergic reaction. Importantly, mosquitoes are also disease vectors. This means that they can carry germs picked up from an infected person or animal and spread the disease-causing germs when they bite others.

MOSQUITO-BORNE DISEASES

Common diseases that mosquitoes carry include chikungunya, dengue, malaria, West Nile virus, and Zika. Chikungunya, dengue, and Zika are caused by viruses, while malaria is caused by a single-celled parasite. These germs infect a person through a mosquito’s bite, and then use the human host to multiply. While this is happening, the human host often becomes sick. Chikungunya, dengue, and malaria are all common in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, but are rare in the United States.

West Nile virus and Zika have become more common in the United States. Mainly infecting people during the summer months, West Nile virus is now the most prevalent mosquito-borne illness in the country, while limited Zika outbreaks have also occurred in recent years. However, it’s important to note that the mosquito species that carry each of these diseases live throughout the United States.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF WEST NILE VIRUS

West Nile virus symptoms can include fever, headache, body aches, skin rashes, and swollen lymph nodes. Generally, infection causes very mild symptoms or no symptoms, at all. However, older people and people with weakened immune systems are at high risk for severe symptoms. It is important to pay attention to abnormal signs that may appear after getting a mosquito bite. If you think you may have contracted West Nile virus, talk to your doctor to get medical advice about your health and potential treatments.

PREVENTION AND RESEARCH

Accurate, reliable health information is important for protecting you and your family from mosquito bites and the diseases they carry. There are a number of ways to help prevent mosquito bites: apply an effective insect repellent; cover up your arms, legs, and feet while outside; mosquito-proof your home by using screens on windows; avoid time outside when mosquitoes are most active – specifically dawn and dusk; and remove standing water where mosquitoes can breed.

Mosquito-borne diseases are an ongoing threat to public health. Therefore, doctors and researchers continue to study these diseases to find and develop better methods to prevent and treat them.

Are you dealing with depression during the coronavirus pandemic? A new study from Western Sydney University found that lifestyle factors such as enough sleep, a good diet and exercise are critical in preventing depression.

The study involving almost 85,000 people found that less screen time, adequate sleep, a better-quality diet and physical activity strongly impact depression.

Bloomberg Quicktake spoke to the lead co-author of that report, Professor Jerome Sarris, from NICM Health Research Institute, Western Sydney University.

Jerome explains, “We conducted an analysis of about 85,000 people using the UK Biobank database. And what really came through is quite strong compelling evidence was that there were six lifestyle factors which did have an influence on increasing people’s depressive mood. And these involved, having a healthy diet or should I say in some cases, a less healthy diet, having adequate physical activity, but also critically having optimal sleep with about seven to nine hours a night, as well as ideally having less screen time. That in concert with, ideally reducing or limiting tobacco intake. All these factors had an influence on people’s mental health and in particular their level of depression symptoms. I think the take-home message here is good lifestyle medicine practices for physical health, but also mental health.”

In people with a depressed mood, the study found that alcohol was beneficial in reducing the levels of depression. Jerome says this was a surprise finding.

“Now, other data has shown that that alcohol can actually exacerbate a depressed mood. Our sense is based on this data, and we’re certainly not advising people go out binge drinking or anything like that. I think it just points to the fact that some people with depression may use alcohol in a self-medicating manner and that perhaps for some people, occasionally consuming alcohol in moderation may be one of the factors which they might find from a self-medicating perspective may be beneficial for their mood. But we’re certainly not advising people to binge drink.”

There was also a correlation with smoking.

“Smoking, like has been revealed in other data sets, that there is a relationship between people who do smoke tobacco, having a greater prevalence of depression symptoms. And there may be various neurological factors to why that is. Certainly people who are addicted to nicotine are constantly under the insult of trying to feed that addiction and that can have a range of mental health consequences.”

And when it comes to sleep, Jerome says quality counts.

“It’s not always about duration by itself. It’s also about the quality of sleep. So if people aren’t getting good quality sleep and in adequate duration there can be a range of neurochemical effects which can occur. Certainly over time, you can get a rise in a hormone called cortisol. And that in itself can impede neurogenesis or literally the growth of some of our brain neurons. That in turn can have a relationship to do with people having a greater prevalence of depressed mood. Of course, raised cortisol also, which may occur in people who have really low levels of quality sleep, may also increase weight gain. So if you get people with excessive weight gain and metabolic issues, that also can affect other things such as self-esteem and also can increase lethargy and thereby the person may end up doing less physical activity, may have a poorer diet.”

So how do you make sure you get enough good quality sleep? We spoke to Kate Bridle from Sleep HQ for her top tips.
