There is some positive news today about cancer rates in the U.S.The "Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer" was published today in the journal "Cancer" and says cancer death rates in the U.S. are declining. Researchers say there was a steady drop from 2001 to 2022, but when it comes to cancer diagnoses, those are down for men but up for women. The report says all of this is due to better treatments and better screenings not only saving more lives, but also catching more cancers.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (Ivanhoe Newswire) --- Obstructive sleep apnea or OSA affects nearly a billion people across the globe. It robs people of their sleep — they stop breathing sometimes 20 to 50 to 100 times a night and are abruptly awakened. Not only do people wake up tired and groggy, but it can also lead to serious health problems including heart disease, stroke and cognitive decline. It’s mostly treated by wearing a CPAP machine to bed.

What one child finds overwhelming may not faze another, even within the same family. Whether it's the stress of school, a loss of a parent, the anxiety of extreme weather events, or something else entirely, the way parents help their children navigate these challenges can have a profound and lasting impact.
