New Approach to Transplants Could Boost Supply of Donor Hearts
THURSDAY, June 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new transplant method that "reanimates" donor hearts appears safe and effective, a new clinical trial has found — in an advance that could substantially expand the supply of donor hearts available in the United States.The trial tested an approach that allows doctors to transplant hearts from donors who have succumbed to "circulatory death" — meaning the heart has stopped beating. Traditionally, heart transplants could only be done with a heart from a donor on life support who has been declared brain dead. That means all brain functions have ceased, but the heart and other organs are being maintained by machines.But thanks to a new "heart-in-a-box" device, doctors can now take a donor heart that has stopped beating and essentially revive...

THURSDAY, June 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) – A new survey of cancer centers find that chemotherapy shortages are affecting most of them, prompting last-minute changes in treatment for numerous types of cancer.About 93% of the centers surveyed said they were experiencing shortages of the drug carboplatin, while 70% were short on cisplatin.

We are hearing from oncologists and pharmacists across the country who have to scramble to find appropriate alternatives for treating their patients with cancer right now,†Dr. Robert Carlson, chief executive officer at National Comprehensive Cancer Network, said in a news...
Experts Warn of Heart Dangers From Smoke of Canadian...
8 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- As a huge plume of smoke from over 400 Canadian wildfires swept south and turned New York City into a landscape that resembled Mars more than Earth, heart experts warned that air pollution can damage your heart as much as it damages your lungs. It’s obvious that wildfires can affect breathing and respiratory health, but exposure to this smoke can also cause or worsen heart problems, the American Heart Association said in an alert issued Wednesday. “Most people think of breathing problems and respiratory health dangers from wildfire smoke, but it’s important to recognize the impact on cardiovascular health, as well,†said Dr. Comilla Sasson, vice president for science and innovation at the American Heart Association and a practicing...
Insomnia Might Raise Your Odds for Stroke
8 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- After many nights of tossing and turning, you might have more to worry about than just feeling exhausted and less sharp at work.Insomnia symptoms -- trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep, or waking up too early -- are also associated with higher risk of stroke, according to new research from Virginia Commonwealth University.And the risk is greater if you're younger than 50, researchers found. As a biological function, sleep is key for processing memories, repairing cells and releasing toxins accumulated during the day, said study co-author Dr. Wendemi Sawadogo, a doctoral candidate at the time of the study. “It is a really huge important part of the body function,†Sawadogo said. “So, when it's happened that there's a disruption in...

8 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Patients who develop a devastating heart condition have new reason to hope after a study identified three men whose condition spontaneously reversed.The condition is called transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis.

Not only did their symptoms improve, but cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scans showed that the buildup of amyloid proteins in the heart had cleared, according to a new report.“We have seen for the first time that the heart can get better with this disease," said lead...
