New Drug Could Be Advance Against Glioma Brain Tumors
MONDAY, June 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental targeted therapy can dramatically slow the progress of common slow-growing brain cancers, a new clinical trial finds.The oral drug vorasidenib nearly tripled progression-free survival in patients with grade 2 gliomas compared to placebo, nearly 28 months versus 11 months, according to results presented Sunday at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting in Chicago, and published simultaneously in the New England Journal of Medicine.The drug also reduced patients’ risk of progression-free survival by 61% and extended the time until they require another type of treatment by 74%, said lead researcher Dr. Ingo Mellinghoff, chair of neuro-oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, in New York...
Wegovy, Saxenda Help Folks Lose Pounds They Regained...
5 June 2023
MONDAY, June 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When people regained weight after obesity surgery, it wasn’t entirely clear what to do next. Now, it appears the weight-loss medications Wegovy and Saxenda can help.Both work by controlling appetite and satiety. Wegovy (semaglutide), however, may be superior to Saxenda (liraglutide), a new study finds.“Our research found that newer anti-obesity medications are effective for treating weight regain and optimizing body weight after bariatric [weight-loss] surgery," said study co-author Dr. Jaime Almandoz, an associate professor in the division of endocrinology at UT Southwestern (UTSW) in Dallas."Our study also found that weight management medication regimens containing semaglutide worked better than those containing liraglutide, even when the...
AHA News: This Tick Season, Beware the Tiny Bugs That...
5 June 2023
MONDAY, June 5, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Warmer weather is drawing people outdoors to enjoy nature. But for those who spend time working in the garden or walking along wooded or grassy trails, it also means greater exposure to a menace so tiny they may never even see or feel it.Lyme disease – spread by ticks that can be as small as a pinhead – affects at least 30,000 people per year in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, certain types of ticks carry the bacteria that causes Lyme disease and are most abundant in the Northeast, parts of the Midwest and some Pacific coast states.While many people may be familiar with Lyme's hallmark "bull's-eye" rash, the disease can produce other symptoms. These include fever, chills,...
Loneliness Can Cut Survival After a Cancer Diagnosis: Study
5 June 2023
MONDAY, June 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- There’s a "loneliness epidemic" in the United States, and feelings of isolation have been linked to heart disease, stroke and other health conditions.Now, new research suggests that cancer survivors who feel lonely may be more likely to die than survivors who have more social support.“Loneliness may be linked to worse survival following a cancer diagnosis through multiple mechanisms, such as the increased risk of experiencing negative emotions such as hostility, stress and anxiety, increased unhealthy behaviors including smoking, alcohol abuse and less physical activity, or through physiological pathways such as immune system disorders,†explained study author Jingxuan Zhao. She is a senior associate scientist at the American Cancer...
Men: Here Are the Health Screenings You Need
5 June 2023
MONDAY, June 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Many men will put off going to the doctor unless they are really sick, but men's health screenings help catch problems before symptoms appear.So, how can you tell if a health screening or preventive care appointment is right for you?The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Library of Medicine offer several men’s health screening and preventative care recommendations. Many of these recommendations are guided by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), which is made up of experts in primary care and disease prevention. Here’s a comprehensive guide, based on this expert advice, to the most important men’s health screenings you need — and how often you should go...
Many Kids Wait Too Long for Mental Health Care After Gun Injury
5 June 2023
MONDAY, June 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. gun deaths and injuries in children have risen at astronomical rates. Yet, among kids on Medicaid, only about two of every five children who get shot receive mental health care within six months of these traumatic incidents, researchers say.The need is great, given that more than 11,250 U.S. kids experienced nonfatal firearm injuries in 2020.“There are many things that can happen after a traumatic accident like this from a mental health perspective. One, there are very frequently people who experience chronic pain associated with it, and chronic pain has a high rate of developing substance use disorders and addiction,†said study co-author Dr. Eric Fleegler.These patients may have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and could be...
Prostate Cancer: The Basics Every Man Needs to Know
5 June 2023
MONDAY, June 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- No man wants to hear that he has prostate cancer, but if he is diagnosed he will need to learn about the disease and how it is treated.Prostate cancer affects one in seven men. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), it is the second most common type of cancer among men after skin cancer. With an estimated 288,300 new cases in the United States in 2023, it is important to know more about prostate cancer and what you can expect if you are the one in seven.What is prostate cancer?The prostate, a walnut-shaped organ, is part of men’s reproductive organs, providing some of the seminal fluid. Living below the bladder, it surrounds the urethra through which urine drains and the seminal tube through which semen flows. As with other cancers,...
FDA Warns Against Using Bogus Treatments for Skin Condition Molluscum
5 June 2023
MONDAY, June 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It’s tempting to treat little skin bumps on your own, but that delays proper diagnosis and treatment that may work better, federal regulators cautioned.Among the many types of skin conditions a person can contract are a virus called molluscum, which look like white, pink or flesh-colored bumps.Products marketed as treatments for molluscum have not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the agency warned. There are no approved treatments in either prescription or over-the-counter form for the condition, which will typically go away on its own in six to 12 months but could last up to five years.Molluscum are sometimes called water warts. They can grow alone or in groups almost anywhere on the skin, including the face, neck,...
