Blumhouse-Miramax Dracula Movie ‘Mina Harker’ Scrapped – Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: Blumhouse and Miramax’s Dracula film Mina Harker isn’t happening, Deadline has learned.

How you can fight back when youre at risk of dementia – Daily Mail

Within two years it’s expected that the number of people living with dementia in the UK will exceed one million — up from the current 920,000. Those affected may experience not only memory loss but confusion, mood changes and difficulty with everyday tasks such as counting money and remembering when to eat and drink. But why are cases rising so fast? The fact that we are living longer is often cited as the principal reason, but it isn’t that simple.

All these can help keep our brains healthy. Within two years it...

Mac Millers Drug Dealer Sentenced to 11 Years in Prison – TMZ

One of the drug dealers who supplied fentanyl-laced pills to Mac Miller just received his sentence after copping a plea last year -- and he's going to prison for a long time. Ryan Reavis will be behind bars for 10 years and 11 months after pleading guilty in November to one count of distributing fentanyl. The sentence is longer than what Reavis himself had asked for -- 5 years -- but shorter than the 12.5 years prosecutors were gunning for. Remember ... the feds say Reavis supplied the deadly ...

I’m losing my little girl to dementia – New York Post

A heatbroken mom has told how she is losing her little girl to childhood dementia. Florence Swaffield was diagnosed with the devastating disease just months after walking down the aisle at her parent’s wedding. The three-year-old is now living with CLN2 Batten’s disease, a very rare condition. It has no cure and tragically gives a life expectancy of between six and 12 years. She is losing the ability to talk, walk, eat or drink independently – she has already lost almost all the words she had learnt. But despite this, her mom says Florence is cheeky and funny with “the most infectious belly laugh.” Phoebe, a government worker for the Department for Transport from Coventry, West Midlands, said: “Our world has been split into two chapters – pre-diagn...

About 34,000 Americans die from prostate cancer annually, but treating the disease can lead to sexual dysfunction and incontinence. Changing the name could lead more low-risk patients to skip unnecessary surgery and radiation. “This is the least aggressive, wimpiest form of prostate cancer that is literally incapable of causing symptoms or spreading to other parts of the body,” said University of Chicago Medicine’s Dr. Scott Eggener, who is reviving a debate about how to explain the threat to worried patients. The words “You have cancer” have a profound effect on patien...
