Continued From Page 1 before Judge Guy Ryan in Ocean County Superior Court. The state’s expert witness determined the manner of the young boy’s April 2, 2021 death to be a homicide. Gregor’s defense attorney, Mario Gallucci, waived the public reading of the indictment and entered the not guilty plea on behalf of his client. Corey’s mother, Breanna Micciolo, grandmother, Rebecca Micciolo and supporters were in court when Gregor’s plea was entered. All expressed disappointment that Gregor did not appear in person. Instead, the accused listened to the proceedings from the Ocean County Jail. Gregor’s attorney made his appearance by video, while the Ocean County Prosecutor’s offi ce was jerseyshoreonline.com in the courtroom. Assistant Prosecutor Christine Lento confi rmed that prior to the indictment, her offi ce off ered Gregor 30 years in prison with no early parole. Several supporters from the Justice for Corey group stood outside the courthouse during the hearing. Many wore shirts with a photograph of the little boy who last attended fi rst grade at the Cecil S. Collins School in Barnegat. The Micciolos contend that Gregor began abusing Corey when he fi rst entered his life. A little more than a year ago, the mother and grandmother shared some of the details that led them to believe Corey’s death was not an accident. They also claim the system failed to protect the boy. The case is scheduled goes to a status conference on August 23, 2022, before Judge Ryan via Zoom.

Take Control Of Your Memory & Brain Health

You have the power to optimize your cognition by adopting a combination of key healthy lifestyle habits and being aware of your overall wellness. Studies show that taking proactive steps may help reduce your risk of memory loss and other forms of cognitive decline. Depicted below are evidence based recommendations to proactively manage lifestyle-related risk factors and certain medical conditions that may aff ect cognition. Stay Mentally Fit: Exercising your mind can help your brain perform at its best. Participating in cognitively stimulating activities may help sharpen certain thinking skills that tend to diminish with age. Have fun engaging your brain by reading books, playing games and doing puzzles. Maintain Connections: Being socially active is brain friendly. Studies have shown that increased social activity is linked to a lower rate of cognitive decline. To stay social, connect with friends and family, or consider volunteering for a local organization. Exercise Regularly: Exercising your body can help keep your brain in shape. Research supports a strong link between physical activity and brain health. It is recommended to get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a week. Any activity that gets your heart pumping counts as aerobic activity, such as walking, dancing, and biking. Eat Healthy: Eating right feeds a healthy body and mind. Food that is good for your overall health is good for your brain. Consider having a balanced diet. Sleep & Relax: Getting a good night’s sleep rests your body and mind. Insuffi cient sleep can not only make a person irritable, it can aff ect memory and decision making. Healthy adults need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night. Hearing: Hearing health is important to your cognitive health. Hearing impairment has been recognized as a modifi able contributor to cognitive decline when identifi ed in mid-life. Optimal Vision: Manage or prevent vision impairment. Research has found the relationship between cognitive decline and vision impairment may be a modifi able risk factor. To manage or prevent vision impairment, schedule regular visits with your vision healthcare provider. Medication Management: Medication management is important to your overall health. Taking your medicine as prescribed is important for overall health. Reviewing your meds with your healthcare provider or pharmacist is an integral part of medication management. Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer your questions regarding your overall hearing health.

Dear Pharmacist

Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. 5 Weird Reasons For Hiccups And Potential Therapies

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

For most of you, hiccups happen for a few minutes and resolve on their own. Most of the time it happens because you’ve swallowed too much air while drinking or eating. Or maybe you’ve had a beer, or soda pop, or went from a warm house into the freezing cold! These are all causes for hiccups. Either way, these short-term hiccups go away on their own. But what if they didn’t stop for days or weeks at a time? One man had hiccups for 20 years before he found resolution! Having hiccups for a long time will cause malnourishment, dehydration, mental stress, chest pain, abdominal discomfort, and problems in your relationship. Not to mention you can’t speak properly anymore! If you have been experiencing hiccups for a while, I’m sure you’ve seen your doctor. If you have not, then that is number one on your to-do list. The reason is that your physician cannot effectively treat you unless the cause is known. Next, jot down all your medications. Don’t forget anything. For example, you may have had a lumbar injection for your sciatica or dental work. Include all the medications and treatments in the prior 7 days and share this with your physician. A handful of medical causes for intractable hiccups traditionally teased out include diabetes, brain tumors, gastrointestinal refl ux, spinal cord infections and chest trauma. But it’s the less frequent causes that I’m writing about today.

Here are 5 weird reasons for persistent hiccups:

1. Steroid use - Medications taken orally (or by injection) that belong to the corticosteroid category can trigger long-lasting hiccups. Of the medication category, dexamethasone is the worst off ender. 2. Thyroid Nodules or Goiters - You may not even realize you have a thyroid problem, because tests are not always conclusive. And with hiccups, doctors don’t automatically look at your thyroid, it is simply that unusual! So I’m listing this because goiters, nodules and hyperthyroidism can lead to intractable hiccup episodes. 3. Pericarditis - This is infl ammation of the heart tissue which can cause not only persistent hiccups, but many other symptoms like weakness, fatigue, heart palpitations, shortness of breath and leg swelling. 4. Shingles - At times, people have been known to have a prodromal warning of the onset of herpes zoster which causes shingles. 5. Medications - Many diff erent prescribed and over-the-counter medications can lead to intractable hiccups. These include tranquilizers, medications for mental health, antihistamines, and some blood pressure pills. As you probably already know, short-term hiccups can be received by holding your breath for a few seconds or drinking some water. But these tricks don’t work for intractable hiccups. Oftentimes, medication is needed and today we have several options that your doctor can prescribe. These include risperidone, gabapentin, phenytoin, and baclofen. I have a much more comprehensive article on this topic that includes more bizarre causes for hiccups. That is available at my website, suzycohen.com.
