Skiers Study Suggests Fitness May Stave Off Parkinson's
THURSDAY, Feb. 20, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Love to cross-country ski? Well, all those days spent striding across the snow-covered wilderness may do more than keep you in great physical shape. Swedish researchers report that very fit long-distance skiers were about 30% less likely to develop Parkinson's disease during their 20-year study. The research suggests that any activity that keeps you fit might buffer the brain against disease. "Our study highlights the importance of staying physically active throughout life, in order to have a reserve to better cope when the frailties and diseases of old age inevitably arrive," said study senior author Tomas Deierborg. He's an associate professor in neuroscience at Lund University in Sweden. Deierborg said the researchers believe these...
New China Coronavirus Cases Decline, 2 Passengers From...
20 February 2020
THURSDAY, Feb. 20, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The number of new COVID-19 coronavirus cases in China dropped Thursday, but the decline might just be due to new methods in how case numbers are tallied. Also on Thursday, two infected passengers from the Diamond Princess cruise ship that had been quarantined in Japan died. The decline in Chinese cases was due in part to Chinese health officials again changing how they tally infections. Now, they are discounting patients whose lab tests come back negative and they are refining how they first assess sick patients, the Associated Press reported. Under the new system, 394 new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed Thursday while 279 were discounted, the wire service said. There have now been a total of 74,576 cases and 2,118 deaths in mainland...
FDA Approves Voltaren Arthritis Pain, Pataday for OTC Use
19 February 2020
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 19, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved three drugs for nonprescription, over-the-counter use -- Voltaren Arthritis Pain (diclofenac sodium topical gel, 1 percent), Pataday Twice Daily Relief (olopatadine HCl ophthalmic solution/drops, 0.1 percent), and Pataday Once Daily Relief (olopatadine HCl ophthalmic solution/drops, 0.2 percent) -- the agency announced Friday. All three products will now be marketed as nonprescription drugs and will no longer be available as prescription drugs. For the drugs to switch to nonprescription status, data had to demonstrate the drugs' safety and efficacy for self-medication use as directed in proposed labeling, according to the FDA. The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug Voltaren Arthritis Pain,...
The Power of a Number: How Your Birthday Could Influence...
19 February 2020
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 19, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- There may be something about a patient's age of 80 that makes doctors alter their heart attack treatment decisions -- consciously or not, new research suggests. In a study of U.S. heart attack patients, researchers found that just one month in age made a difference in whether doctors performed bypass surgery -- one of the treatments for the artery blockages that cause heart attacks. Among patients who had turned 80 within the past two weeks, just over 5% received bypass surgery. In contrast, the rate was 7% among patients who were about to turn 80 in the next couple weeks. Researchers said the finding points to a "left-digit bias" -- where doctors may be more concerned about surgery complications just because a patient's age starts with...
Does Sexual Orientation Play a Role in Skin Cancer Risk?
19 February 2020
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 19, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Gay and bisexual men in the United States have higher skin cancer rates than heterosexual men, while bisexual women have lower rates than heterosexual women, according to a new study. Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston analyzed data culled from national surveys conducted from 2014 to 2018 and found that skin cancer rates were 8.1% among gay men, 8.4% among bisexual men, and 6.7% among heterosexual men. Rates were 4.7% among bisexual women, 5.9% among lesbian women, and 6.6% among heterosexual women. The difference in rates between lesbian women and heterosexual women was not statistically significant, according to the researchers. These findings could be important for patient education and community outreach programs...
As Prices Rise for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's Meds, Patients Go Without
19 February 2020
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 19, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Rising drug costs are hampering the care of patients with debilitating neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's, a new study finds. Patients are less likely to fill necessary prescriptions as out-of-pocket costs increase, said senior researcher Dr. Brian Callaghan, a neurologist with the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. "It's a pretty predictable 5% to 10% drop for every $50 increase in cost," Callaghan said. For patients with Parkinson's disease, not taking medications as prescribed can severely impact their quality of life, he noted. "The Parkinson's medicines are supposed to help make their tremors better, help them walk faster better. Theoretically, it could prevent falls and hospitalizations," Callaghan...
What's Source of 'Stinging Water'? Jellyfish Release Toxic Mucus
19 February 2020
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 19, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The mystery of "stinging water" has been solved, scientists say. Stinging water is the seawater near and around upside-down jellyfish (Cassiopea) -- and swimmers can get stinging, itchy skin while submerged in it, even if they have no direct contact with the creatures themselves. But it wasn't clear in the past if the jellyfish were to blame for this discomfort, since several other possible causes had been suggested, including severed jellyfish tentacles, "sea lice," anemones and other stinging marine animals. In this new study, researchers concluded that stinging water is caused by toxin-filled mucus that the jellyfish release into the water. The mucus contains gyrating balls of stinging cells called cassiosomes. "This discovery was...
Artificial Heart Valve Would Grow With Kids, Cutting Need for Repeat Surgeries
19 February 2020
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 19, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- An expandable artificial heart valve could save children with congenital heart disease from repeated open heart surgeries as they grow up, researchers report. Current artificial heart valves are fixed in size, meaning children need to get larger ones as they grow. Children who receive their first artificial valve before age 2 will require up to five open-heart operations before they become adults. This new design means children could keep the same artificial heart valve until adulthood, and it could also benefit adults with heart valve defects, according to the Boston Children's Hospital team. Current artificial heart valves have three leaflets, tiny flaps that provide a one-way inlet or outlet for blood to keep it flowing in the right...
