Tips to Checking Your Skin for Skin Cancer
SUNDAY, June 4, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Skin cancer can pop up anywhere on your skin, including the soles of your feet and even under your fingernails.That’s what happened to Isabel Lievano, who was diagnosed with melanoma when her dermatologist determined that a persistent black spot under her fingernail was the deadliest form of skin cancer. Lievano, 69, lost her nail, but not her finger or her life. “Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Anyone can get skin cancer, which is why Isabel’s story shows how important it is to perform a skin self-exam,†said board-certified dermatologist Dr. Hope Mitchell, who is in private practice in Ohio. “Checking your skin can help catch skin cancer early when it’s highly treatable. I encourage my patients...
Drug Might Help Slow Nearsightedness in Kids
2 June 2023
FRIDAY, June 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- There is no cure for nearsightedness, but medicated eye drops can slow down its progression in children, a new trial finds.The study tested the effects of eye drops containing a very low dose of the drug atropine — the same medication used to dilate the pupils during an eye exam.Researchers found that when children with nearsightedness used the drops every day for three years, their vision worsened more slowly — and was more likely to stabilize — versus kids given placebo drops.That does not mean the drops will reverse vision problems or liberate kids from glasses, experts stressed."The real point here is the longer term," said lead researcher Karla Zadnik, dean of Ohio State University's College of Optometry, in Columbus.Nearsightedness,...
Biden Set to Name New CDC Director
2 June 2023
FRIDAY, June 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A former Obama administration official with extensive experience in federal and state health services could be the next leader of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Former North Carolina Health Secretary Dr. Mandy Cohen is the likely pick, according to sources with knowledge of the plan, the Washington Post reported. Cohen would come with credentials that may help her lead the beleaguered agency, criticized for its response to the pandemic. Some public health experts welcomed the news of her potential appointment.Cohen can “take the wonky stuff and make it work on the ground,†said Anne Zink, Alaska’s chief medical officer and president of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials.Meanwhile, Stanford...
Erectile Troubles in Middle Age a Bad Sign for Men's Brains
2 June 2023
FRIDAY, June 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Erectile dysfunction (ED) has been tied to an increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Now, research suggests that erectile woes during late middle age may also be linked to a man’s chances of developing memory issues later on.“Because subtle changes in erectile function were related to memory decline, our results suggest that neglecting this aspect of sexual health may contribute to cases of cognitive impairment and dementia in men,†said study author Tyler Reed Bell. He's a post-doctoral scholar at the University of California, San Diego. “An ounce of erectile function treatment may be worth pounds in the number of years lived without cognitive impairment or dementia," Bell reasoned.Researchers don't know...
AHA News: After Surviving a Heart Attack at 35, She 'Felt Like a Ticking Time Bomb'
2 June 2023
FRIDAY, June 2, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Jennifer Valentine's colleague, longtime friend and neighbor Rebecca McCormack picked her up early at her home in York, South Carolina, for a ride to the airport. The oncology technicians at a cancer center were off to a conference in Salt Lake City.At the airport, they had breakfast at a fast-food restaurant before the 4.5-hour flight. Valentine ordered fried hashed browns and a gravy biscuit.Such a rich breakfast was not Valentine's recent routine. Two months earlier, she'd started exercising and eating more nutritious meals. During much of her 35 years, Valentine's weight had yo-yoed greatly. She had recently shed 12 pounds from a high of 229 (she's 5-foot-6) and wanted to lose much more.On the plane, the friends watched a...
CDC Warns of Potentially Fatal Bacterial Illness on U.S. Gulf Coast
2 June 2023
FRIDAY, June 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A potentially deadly germ has made its way to the U.S. Gulf Coast, health officials warned this week.So far, three cases of infection from the bacteria Burkholderia pseudomallei have been reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The bacteria causes melioidosis, which can be fatal if left untreated."It is an environmental organism that lives naturally in the soil, and typically freshwater in certain areas around the world. Mostly in subtropical and tropical climates," said Julia Petras, an epidemic intelligence service officer with CDC's National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases. The most recent case was reported in Mississippi in January, following two previous cases in the same county in Mississippi...
Is a Liver Dialysis Device on the Horizon?
2 June 2023
FRIDAY, June 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new liver dialysis device might soon be able to save patients on the edge of death from liver failure, early clinical trial results show.The DIALIVE device safely improved organ function and alleviated symptoms in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure, compared with others receiving standard care, the researchers reported.If the device proves out in a larger trial, it could provide patients with liver failure a lifeline at a time of immediate danger, said senior researcher Dr. Rajiv Jalan, a professor of hepatology at University College London (UCL), in the United Kingdom.“Liver failure is potentially reversible as the liver has enormous capacity for regeneration,†Jalan said. “Therefore, the aim of a liver dialysis machine is to...
No Need to Avoid Exercise After Prolapse Surgery, Study Finds
2 June 2023
FRIDAY, June 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It may not be necessary for people who have prolapse surgery for pelvic floor disorders to wait to get started exercising again.A new study challenges standard restrictions, finding that those who resume exercising soon after the procedure do just as well as those who wait several weeks.“This study is a paradigm shift for urogynecologists — it is practice changing,†said senior study author Dr. Matthew Barber, chair of obstetrics and gynecology at Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, N.C. “For decades, surgeons have been instructing patients to avoid activity after reconstructive surgery, and we now know that is unnecessary,†Barber said in a Duke news release.“The findings of this study are consistent with trials in other...
