What to Do When Tough-to-Treat Lymphoma Strikes During Pregnancy
FRIDAY, June 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Not a lot is known about how physicians should handle cases in which a pregnant woman is diagnosed with relapsed/refractory lymphoma.A new study may provide some perspective.Though uncommon, this issue is still experienced by about one in 4,000 women, according to background notes with the study published June 1 in Blood Advances.Relapsed means the lymphoma reappears after remission, and refractory means it's staying the same or getting worse.“To our knowledge, no previous data has been published for patients with [relapsed/refractory] lymphoma presenting during pregnancy,†explained Dr. Andrew Evens, associate director for clinical services at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey.“Yet the treatment options and prognosis are often very...
Rate of Pregnant U.S. Women Who Have Diabetes Keeps Rising
1 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The number of American women who have diabetes when they become pregnant has increased dramatically over five years, health officials reported Wednesday. Between 2016 and 2021, the rate of pregnancy among diabetic women has risen 27%, from about 9 per 1,000 births to 11 per 1,000 births, according to the report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Primary reasons for this increase are most likely the ongoing obesity epidemic and the fact that more older women are having children. "The findings are consistent with the increased risk of type 2 diabetes among people who are overweight or obese," said lead researcher Elizabeth Gregory, a health scientist at CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). "And when we...

It was approved May 3.Both should be available by fall, before the seasonal spread of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), The New York Times reported.The Pfizer vaccine, known as Abrysvo, has effectiveness of nearly 67% when a patient has two symptoms of RSV, such as a sore throat and cough. It's 86% effective when three or more symptoms surface.

Peyronie’s Disease: What It Is, Causes, Symptoms &...
1 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Many men have likely never heard of Peyronie's disease, but they might want to brush up on this condition because it causes the penis to curve abnormally during an erection.Peyronie’s disease typically affects men over 30, and it appears to be caused by the build-up of plaque in the tunica albuginea. The tunica albuginea is the inner lining of the penis, and it helps the penis remain stiff during an erection. Here, experts will explore what Peyronie’s disease is, its causes, symptoms and how it can be treated.What is Peyronie’s diseaseAccording to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Peyronie’s disease can develop when there is a physical injury to the penis, scar tissue forms, and the hard plaque that can build on scar tissue...
AHA News: Fear and Language Barriers Keep Some Latino People From Performing CPR
1 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 1, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- At a CPR class in Spanish in central Virginia, some members of the Latino community say they recognize that the technique can save someone whose heart stops beating. But they acknowledge that fear and uncertainty might keep them from providing critical care.Such apprehension has prompted trainers who have witnessed it to teach not just how to administer CPR properly to a person who goes into cardiac arrest, but also to share culturally appropriate information that can ease concerns."We address the hesitation, we address the fears," said Dr. Max Luna, a cardiologist and director of the Latino Health Initiative at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. The CPR class is one of the initiative's programs. "We focus on...

1 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Smokers in Canada will soon see health warnings on each and every cigarette they light up..The country will be the first in the world to print these warnings directly on individual cigarettes.“This bold step will make health warning messages virtually unavoidable, and together with updated graphic images displayed on the package, will provide a real and startling reminder of the health consequences of smoking,†Carolyn Bennett, Canada's Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, said in a Health Canada news release announcing the new labeling. “We will continue to do whatever it takes to help more people in Canada stop smoking and help young people to live healthy, tobacco-free lives.â€Tobacco use kills about 48,000 Canadians each year,...
Helping Others as Volunteers Helps Kids 'Flourish': Study
1 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Kids who devote some of their free time to volunteer work may not only help others, but also themselves.That's according to a new study that found U.S. kids who spend time in community service are often thriving, physically and mentally.Overall, kids who'd volunteered in the past year were in better physical health, had a more positive outlook on life, and were less likely to have anxiety, depression or behavioral problems than their peers who did not do volunteer work.The findings, published May 30 in the journal JAMA Network Open, do not answer the chicken-and-egg question, researchers noted: Kids who were already high on the well-being scale may have been more apt to volunteer."We can't say this is cause-and-effect," said lead researcher...
Nova Scotia Wildfires Sending Unhealthy 'Smoke Plume' to U.S. Northeast
1 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Large, uncontrolled wildfires in Nova Scotia are creating unhealthy air in the Northeast region of the United States, including parts of Connecticut.This significant smoke plume is likely to cause elevated levels of fine particulate matter, the American Lung Association warned in its alert. Particulate matter contains microscopic solids or liquid droplets that are so small that they can be inhaled and cause serious health problems, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.The lung association also offered tips for everyone — but especially children, older adults and people with lung diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) — to stay well despite the poor air quality.Start by staying indoors. If you...
