CLEVELAND — Dry eye condition occurs when there aren’t enough tears to lubricate the eye. If not treated, it can lead to other serious infections in the eye, and although it is managed, it can never be fully eliminated. It’s typically a diagnosis for older patients, but doctors are noticing a change.“Twenty-two years ago, when I started, most of the patients with dry eye disease were the pre-menopausal females or patients who were on significant medications, like antihistamines, that dried their eyes out,” said Dr. Tom Chester of the Cleveland Eye Clinic. But Chester says that’s not the case anymore.“We are seeing a preponderance in younger patients,” he said. “Maybe patients in their 20s, 30s, even teenagers. Actually, the youngest patient I’ve treated was an 8-year-old with dry eye disease.” He attributes the shift of younger and younger patients to increased screen time.“One of the biggest aspects about tablets and phones is that the patients don't blink, and so when they're not blinking, they're not causing the ocular surface to utilize the glands to produce a good tear film,” said Chester.That can lead to other conditions, like infections and scarring.Chester says it’s up to parents and caregivers to make sure kids are blinking when they’re using electronics. Experts suggest limiting screen time.“The one thing about children and teens, in particular, is they don’t typically complain about their eye health. So, it’s important for parents or caregivers to watch or pay attention to the children, or even teachers to pay attention. If they see a lot of eye rubbing, if they see a lot of blinking, or squeezing, it could be because the surface is irritated, and the children don’t know any different, so they don’t know how to necessarily say ‘My eyes are dry,’ ” Chester said.He doesn’t anticipate this trend of younger kids diagnosed with the condition to go anywhere, anytime soon. 1921

Defense Secretary James Mattis resigned Thursday, a day after President Donald Trump's plans to withdraw troops from Syria became public."Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down from my position," Mattis wrote in his letter."One core belief I have always held is that our strength as a nation is inextricably linked to the strength of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships. While the US remains the indispensable nation in the free world, we cannot protect our interests or serve that role effectively without maintaining strong alliances and showing respect to those allies," he added.Trump first announced Mattis' departure in a tweet."General Jim Mattis will be retiring, with distinction, at the end of February, after having served my Administration as Secretary of Defense for the past two years," Trump tweeted.Trump touted the "tremendous progress" that has been made during Mattis' tenure at the helm of the Defense Department and thanked Mattis for his service.Trump said a successor "will be named shortly."Mattis and the President's other top national security advisers opposed Trump's decision to withdraw from Syria.Mattis’ resignation letter makes it clear. “My views on treating allies with respect and also being clear eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades of immersion in these issues.” 1546

Dog's aren't just our best friends, they're also good for our health, new research suggests.A study published Friday in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings says that owning a pet, especially a dog, may help maintain a healthy heart -- in case you needed any more reason to head to your local animal shelter.The study began in 2013 and 2014, when researchers gathered health and socioeconomic information on over 2,000 people in Brno, Czech Republic, and scheduled follow-up evaluations for every five years until 2030.The latest was this year, in 2019, when researchers again looked at about 2,000 people with no history of heart disease. They scored the participants on the American Heart Association's list of seven ideal health behaviors and factors, also known as "Life's Simple 7": body mass index, diet, physical activity, smoking status, blood pressure, blood glucose and total cholesterol.The researchers compared the cardiovascular health scores of pet owners with those of petless people. In general, people who owned a pet were more physically active than those who did not, with healthier diets and blood sugar levels.But then they compared dog owners with everyone else and found that no matter their age, sex or education level, they benefited the most in terms of cardiovascular health.Take that, cat people.The findings are consistent with research that has shown that dog ownership leads to more physical activity. Meanwhile, pet ownership in general reduces stress, betters our self-esteem and makes us more social.Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, one of the lead researchers on the team, said what makes this study so significant is that it showed the benefits of having a dog go beyond just increased physical activity. The study included many factors that determined the health of the heart and arteries, like showing that dog-owners tend to also have a healthier diet than other pet-owners -- thus contributing to a better cardiovascular health.It's "putting everything together and not just focused on a single factor," he told CNN.But he also pointed out that the results may be skewed, simply because so many people own dogs. Of the 42 percent of subjects that owned any type of pet, 24 percent were owned dogs. 2240

During an emotional Staples Center memorial service for NBA legend Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka on Monday detailed text messages between him and Bryant, which may have been the last ever sent by Bryant. Pelinka said that Bryant had texted him while on board the doomed helicopter, which crashed into a Southern California hillside, killing Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, and seven others. The nine were en route to a basketball tournament where Bryant would coach his daughter Gianna’s team. Pelinka said he was at his church’s Sunday service at the time, where he normally does not check his phone. But Pelinka said he had the urge to check his phone as “a gentle, other worldly nudge compelled” him to open the message. Pelinka said that Bryant asked him if he knew of a certain baseball agent in Southern California. “Kobe texted back his desire to help a friend of his secure a baseball agency internship for one of his young daughters,” Pelinka said. “Kobe vouched for the girl’s character, intellect and work ethic; he clearly wanted to champion a bright future for her.” Pelinka responded back to Bryant to say he would put in a plan in place to get that done. “A handful of minutes later, Kobe and Gianna and seven other beautiful souls ascended into heaven,” he said. “Kobe had been texting me from the helicopter.“The girl in that text chain he wanted to help so badly was Lexi Altobelli, the surviving daughter of coach John Altobelli, who was on the helicopter. Kobe’s last human act was heroic. He wanted to use his platform to bless and shape a young girl’s future. Hasn’t Kobe done that for all of us?"Pelinka was one of Bryant's closest confidants. Before becoming the Lakers' GM, he was Bryant's long-time agent. Justin Boggs is a writer for the E.W. Scripps National Desk. 1843
