Health-care landscape gets new look

St. Francis Hospital renamed

Despite the driving rain, construction crews were still out and working to build the new 47 million dollar addition to North Dutchess Hospial in Rhinebeck on Tuesday.KELLY MARSH/For the Times Herald-Record

RHINEBECK The region's health-care landscape underwent a dramatic if quiet sea change over the weekend, as one venerable medical institution was given a new name and another launched a new $47 million building expansion.

Last year, St. Francis Hospital fell short of celebrating its centennial year as an independent Catholic hospital when it declared bankruptcy in December. It will soon likely in May become part of Health Quest, the region's largest health-care conglomerate.

Health Quest has promised there will be no job loss as the result of the acquisition. Its new name will be Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital of Westchester Medical Center.

On Friday, the same day Health Quest announced the name change, company officials and political figures turned over the first ceremonial scoops of earth that will mark the beginning of a new $47 million addition to Northern Dutchess Hospital in the Village of Rhinebeck.

That addition includes another six operating rooms and 40 patient rooms at the hospital.

Assemblyman Kevin Cahill, D-Kingston, who participated in the ceremony, lauded the hospital for paying attention to public comment during Planning Board review.

"While not all stakeholders were on the same page from the start, the hospital took great pains to listen to public input and make significant changes to their plan," he said in a statement.

Genetic pre-disposition toward exercise, mental development may be linked

Posted on by

University of Missouri researchers have previously shown that a genetic pre-disposition to be more or less motivated to exercise exists. In a new study, Frank Booth, a professor in the MU College of Veterinary Medicine, has found a potential link between the genetic pre-disposition for high levels of exercise motivation and the speed at which mental maturation occurs.

For his study, Booth selectively bred rats that exhibited traits of either extreme activity or extreme laziness. Booth then put the rats in cages with running wheels and measured how much each rat willingly ran on their wheels during a six-day period. He then bred the top 26 runners with each other and bred the 26 rats that ran the least with each other. They repeated this process through 10 generations and found that the line of running rats chose to run 10 times more than the line of "lazy" rats.

Booth studied the brains of the rats and found much higher levels of neural maturation in the brains of the active rats than in the brains of the lazy rats.

"We looked at the part of the brain known as the 'grand central station,' or the hub where the brain is constantly sending and receiving signals," Booth said. "We found a big difference between the amount of molecules present in the brains of active rats compared to the brains of lazy rats. This suggests that the active rats were experiencing faster development of neural pathways than the lazy rats."

Booth says these findings may suggest a link between the genes responsible for exercise motivation and the genes responsible for mental development. He also says this research hints that exercising at a young age could help develop more neural pathways for motivation to be physically active.

"This study illustrates a potentially important link between exercise and the development of these neural pathways," Booth said. "Ultimately, this could show the benefits of exercise for mental development in humans, especially young children with constantly growing brains."

Booth's study, "Nucleus accumbens neuronal maturation differences in young rats bred for low versus high voluntary running behavior," was published in the Journal of Physiology.
