OSF Healthcare now offering scalp cooling for cancer patients
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — A new service being offered at OSF Healthcare is helping patients going through chemotherapy. It's called scalp cooling, and it's a first-of-its-kind service being offered in our area. It's a non-invasive, free treatment designed to reduce hair loss during chemotherapy. It works by lowering the temperature of your scalp down to 65 degrees before, during and after chemo. Scalp cooling helps cancer patients keep as much of their hair as possible, which in turn, helps their mental health. Our 2025 Remarkable Women winner, Patricia Cutiletta, had a huge part in bringing this service to our area. 'Well, it has nothing to do with vanity,' Cutiletta said. 'I had an oncologist who said to me, oh, that's for vain people. It's not. It's for people who want to preserve some sense of identity. It's for people who want to continue as much of their normal lifestyle as they can. And it's for people who want something that they can try and control.' The scalp cooling service is part of OSF Healthcare's START program. Which stands for survive, thrive and recover together. There's more than just scalp cooling. Patients can also get personalized care to help navigate their 'new normal' with confidence. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

‘Try to make him proud': Beloved Appleton bar owner to be remembered in Flag Day Parade Saturday
APPLETON, Wis. (WFRV) – Even on a Wednesday morning at 11 a.m., Hank & Karen's Pub and Grill in Appleton is the place to be. Waiters hustle behind the counter, every barstool is filled, ladies play cards with laughter, and someone hits big on a corner slot machine. 'I'm going to try to make him proud,' said a teary-eyed Maggie Kresal, the bar manager and Hank's daughter. Children's Museum of Green Bay promotes healthy choices through new 'Taste of Summer' event Hank passed away on May 21—his wife Karen's birthday—at age 70 from cancer, following a diagnosis in April that came after months of illness beginning with an ulcer in December. The void left by his passing is deeply felt in both the community and the business he and Karen revitalized after purchasing it in 1989. 'When he got the actual diagnosis it was tough, because I quit my job eight years ago to take this over,' Kresal said. But with the support of her mother, Karen Grishaber, and her siblings, Kresal kept going. 'I was going to be lost, but my four kids have stepped up and really helped out,' Karen said. 'I don't think there's a day that goes by that you don't think about him. The kids have been wonderful.' 'I wanted him to be here to see the success of the business, to keep it going. So it was really tough. But my brothers and my sisters said, 'You need to keep it going. Dad would be proud of you no matter what,'' Kresal added. 'Everything I am is because of my dad. Everything.' And everything Hank was, was for his family—both biological and chosen. An estimated 1,500 people turned out for his celebration of life. 'His family meant everything to him. Everything he did was for his kids. Everything we learned throughout the years was because of him,' Kresal said. 'Everything he did was for his community. Everything. There was not enough that he could do; he always wanted to do more.' Signed photos cover the walls of Hank & Karen's Pub and Grill. Though they resemble those of national athletes, they are of local sports figures and racecar drivers Hank supported. 'He wanted people to go out and enjoy their hobbies and not have to worry about the extra costs that come with it,' Kresal said. Hank was known for putting his money behind causes close to his heart, supporting veterans and the Appleton Flag Day Parade—the oldest and largest in the nation. He participated just once, riding in his pride and joy: a 'rat-rod' GMC pickup truck emblazoned with his bar's name. 'That was his little pride and joy,' Karen said. This Saturday will be different. Their eldest son, Opie, will drive that truck in the parade, joined by racecars and sports teams Hank once sponsored. 'I think it'll be a big honor for us to be in there,' Karen said. And it's expected that—besides soldiers and veterans—Hank's tribute will draw the biggest cheers. The streets of College Avenue will overflow in celebration of the flag, those who serve, and one man who gave so much to his community. 'It'll be awesome,' Kresal said. 'It'll probably be emotional, because I think some of the attendees will get emotional about it too.' Kemps partners with Midwest food banks, donates nearly 800,000 milk cartons including 30,000 in Wisconsin 'Never had a better day.' That was Hank's trademark saying. And the only thing that could make Saturday better would be if Hank were there. In spirit, he will be—alongside all those lives he touched. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Rosemary, sage could boost brain health: Study
(NewsNation) — A recent study has found that rosemary and sage may have a positive impact on brain health and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. The study released in the Antioxidants journal shows a compound shared by the two herbs called carnosic acid has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that shield brain cells from damage similar to what can lead to Alzheimer's. Researchers were able to create a more stable form of carnosic acid called diAcCA. Screen time a symptom, cause of emotional distress in kids: Study In preclinical studies, the researchers found that the compound improved memory, boosted brain synapses and reduced harmful Alzheimer's-related proteins like amyloid-beta and tau. The diAcCA compound only activates in inflamed brain regions, which could minimize side effects. To date, studies in mice have shown significant cognitive improvements and no signs of toxicity. Researchers are looking to start human trials soon. Researchers also believe diAcCA could help treat other inflammatory conditions, such as Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and Parkinson's disease. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
