in order to pad his pockets.Dr. Yasser Awaad allegedly forced children to endure grueling medical tests — including sleep deprivation — multiple times, though the children never needed them.Mariah Martinez was just nine years old when she said she was referred to Awaad for headaches. At the time, Awaad worked for Oakwood Healthcare, which is now owned by Beaumont Health.Martinez says Awaad wanted her to undergo an electroencephalogram or EEG, and then told her she had epilepsy. Martinez says she was confused because she'd never had a seizure."I didn't know what epilepsy was at that point," she said.Martinez said the diagnosis scared her."Being told you're abnormal, or the tests are abnormal, means I'm not like everyone else, and at that age, you just want to fit in," Martinez said.She said the anti-seizure medication not only made her drowsy – it made her headaches worse."I kind of withdrew into myself, didn't want to be around people," she said.It wasn't until Awaad suddenly left his practice four years later and Martinez saw a new doctor that she found out she never had epilepsy."I lost, I feel like a piece of my childhood. All the time, I could have been learning to do things, playing with the other kids, I could have friends, I could have joined a sport – you never know," Martinez said.Martinez was not alone."I think it's despicable and deplorable that he would do this to any innocent child, let alone several hundred," medical malpractice lawyer Brian McKeen said. McKeen and a team of attorneys are suing Awaad and the hospital."When you look at all the evidence in this case. The conclusion is inescapable. That this was done intentionally," he said.McKeen alleges Awaad ran an EEG mill: the more tests he ran on the kids, the more money he made. At a 2018 deposition, McKeen claimed Awaad made "hundreds of thousands" of dollars for running the tests; money Awaad later said he was "entitled to."McKeen says one of Awaad's pediatric neurology colleagues even blew the whistle on him to Oakwood administrators back in 2003."She told them he's doing unnecessary EEGs, he's diagnosing kids with epilepsy that don't have it, and he's giving kids unnecessary drugs, and they did not do anything about it. They swept it under the rug," McKeen said.McKeen says Awaad also falsely diagnosed Martinez's sister with epilepsy, and in a different family, he's accused of misdiagnosing four out of five siblings.Hundreds of medical licensing records show that since 2010, the state has been accusing Awaad of violating the public health code for wrongly diagnosing kids with epilepsy. The state complaints use words like "negligence" and "incompetence" to describe Awaad, yet he still held on to his medical license.In 2012, he was put on probation and forced to pay a ,000 fine."That wasn't enough. They should suspend his license. He should never be allowed the opportunity to practice medicine and violate the trust of any other patient," McKeen said.In June, a jury awarded Mariah Martinez million for her case against Awaad. The second lawsuit of the 267 pending against Awaad is currently underway in Wayne County Circuit Court."I don't know if I'll ever be 100 percent," Martinez said.Beaumont Health and its lawyers chose not to comment, citing pending litigation and patient privacy laws. A spokesman also said that they have not had a relationship with Awaad since 2017.Beaumont spokesman Mark Geary declined to provide someone to talk on camera, but released the following statement:"The litigation involving Dr. Yasser Awaad and Oakwood Healthcare dates back more than a decade to 2007. We cannot comment about the specifics of this case or others because of pending legal proceedings and patient privacy laws. After his employment with Oakwood Healthcare, Dr. Awaad was briefly employed by Beaumont to provide medical education and clinical curriculum for residents and medical students in pediatric neurology. He completed this work in 2017 and has not had any relationship with Beaumont since that time."Meanwhile, the Michigan Attorney General's Office has filed another administrative complaint against Awaad's license. The hearing was supposed to be held next week, but Awaad's lawyers asked for it to be delayed. It's now scheduled in March.This story was originally published by Heather Catallo on 4344

-- and its wider implications for human mental health treatment -- was found in their poop, per new findings published in Behavioural Brain Research.Rats are better drivers when they're mentally stimulatedKelly Lambert, study author and head of the University of Richmond's Lambert Behavioral Neuroscience Laboratory, trained two groups of young rats: One bunch raised in an "enriched environment" with toys, ladders, balls and pieces of wood designed to spark mental stimulation, and another reared in a standard, unexciting lab cage.The rats learned to enter a custom "rat-operated vehicle," or ROV, adorably constructed from a one-gallon plastic container turned on its side.Once inside, the rat racers would stand on an aluminum plate and press on a copper bar that would trigger the wheels' motor. They'd hold down on the bar until they propelled their tiny car to the end of their enclosure, where they collected their reward: Froot Loops.When it came time to drive, the rats who played with ladders, balls and toys were more adept at operating and steering the ROV, thanks to the neuroplasticity (their brains' ability to change over time) triggered by their environment. Their unstimulated cage counterparts effectively "failed their driving test," Lambert said.Hormones found in their feces showed improved emotional resilienceIn sifting through their fecal matter, Lambert found both groups of rats trained to drive secreted higher levels of corticosterone and DHEA, hormones that control stress responses.Corticosterone is a hormone animals could secrete in high-stakes scenarios like running from a wild animal or defending themselves from predators, but it can also be expressed in lower-risk tasks like doing taxes or worrying about a loved one (though rats likely aren't advanced enough to form a government, let alone impose taxes on fellow rats).DHEA acts as a sort of "buffer," Lambert said, when corticosterone becomes toxic -- that is, when it can't be turned off in a reasonable amount of time, creating prolonged stress.It's evidence that mastering a complex task, like driving a car, bolstered the rats' emotional resilience."It is likely that driving gives the rats a sense of control over their environment," she said. "In humans, we would say that it enhances a sense of agency or self-efficacy."What have rats got to do with human health?The brains of humans and rats share nearly all of the same areas and neurochemicals -- they're just smaller in rodents. And though humans are certainly more complex than rats, Lambert said there are "universal truths" in how both species' brains interact within their environment to maintain optimal mental health.So these results have implications for human health, too (and no, they don't mean rats will drive alongside people in tiny lanes on highways). Emotional resilience is one of the first lines of defense against mental illnesses like depression, she said, and learning what behaviors build that up could clue physicians in on how to treat those illnesses in humans.It's a concept Lambert refers to as "behaviorceuticals," activities that release hormones that can ward off prolonged stress brought on by corticosterone."Anything that reduces stress can build resilience against the onset of mental illness," she said.The activity can be something as simple as knitting, or in rats' case, learning to drive a car. Just engaging hands, paws and brains of varying sizes can enhance a participant's sense of control. 3489

You might be driving less during the coronavirus pandemic. If so, a different type of insurance could save you money.Pay per mile auto insurance is for those who drive less than 12,000 miles per year.“They are seeing in the news that people are giving rebates, so it’s at the top of their mind, where maybe they didn't think of that before and now they are thinking, ‘oh yeah, that’s right, I am driving less, I should be paying less,” said Michelle Megna with CarInsurance.com.One company claims it can save you about 0 a year.You pay a flat rate, then 6 cents a mile. There's a cap on the number of miles you can be charged for.Ford recently partnered with Metromile to offer the insurance in its new connected cars.Other companies like Nationwide, Allstate and a new company called Mile Auto also have similar plans.“Typically, there are few complaints about pay per mile, because its relatively straightforward and its very simple and obviously consumers like that,” said Megna.Pay per mile is different than usage-based insurance. That also takes into account when you drive, hard braking and acceleration.Pay per mile is strictly miles and is typically tracked through an app or device.Even if you're driving over 10,000 miles per year, it could still pay to shop around. 1288
