As Health Experts Fear Possible Pandemic, 2nd Death Reported Outside China
TUESDAY, Feb. 4, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- While health experts fear that the coronavirus outbreak in China will become a pandemic as infections topped 20,600 worldwide, the second death outside China was reported in Hong Kong on Tuesday. On Monday, U.S. officials reported three more cases in California, bringing the total in this country to 11. A pandemic, which is when there are epidemics occurring on two or more continents, is looking more likely by the day, as the World Health Organization (WHO) reports there are now 162 cases in at least 23 countries outside China. On Monday, three more U.S. cases of coronavirus were confirmed in California -- a couple in San Benito County and a woman in Santa Clara, Calif. The couple is believed to be the second instance of person-to-person...
Eating Disorders, Exercise Addiction Go Hand in Hand: Study
3 February 2020
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- People with an eating disorder are much more likely to have exercise addiction than those with normal eating habits, British researchers say. They analyzed data from more than 2,100 people who took part in nine studies in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Italy. People with an eating disorder were 3.7 times more likely to have an exercise addiction than those with no eating disorder, according to the findings. "It is known that those with eating disorders are more likely to display addictive personality and obsessive-compulsive behaviors," said study leader Mike Trott, a researcher in sport science at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, England. "We are also aware that having an unhealthy relationship with food often means...
Bedside 'Sitters' May Not Prevent Hospital Falls
3 February 2020
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Many hospitals use bedside "sitters" to protect patients from falling, but a new review finds little evidence the tactic works. However, researchers said the problem is a lack of rigorous studies -- and not proof that bedside sitters are ineffective. So it would be premature to abandon the practice. "We've been doing this for years," said Dr. Cathy Schubert, a geriatrics specialist at Indiana University School of Medicine and the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center, both in Indianapolis. "I was surprised there really has been little study of it," she said. "That was the eye-opening part." Schubert wrote an editorial published with the review Feb. 3 in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Falls are an enduring problem in hospitals. Each year,...
With Equal Access to Care, Blacks, Whites Have Similar...
3 February 2020
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Survival rates are similar for black and white prostate cancer patients who are treated in an equal-access health system, researchers say. In the general U.S. population, black men are more likely than white men to be diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, and more than twice as likely to die from the disease. In a new study, researchers assessed whether this racial disparity was evident in the equal-access Veterans Affairs (VA) Health System. The investigators analyzed data on more than 60,000 men diagnosed with prostate cancer between 2000 and 2015, and cared for at the VA. Of those patients, 30% percent were black and 70% were white. Compared to white patients, black patients were no more likely to have delays in diagnosis and care, no...
HIV Drug Costs Soaring, Jeopardizing Effort to End Epidemic
3 February 2020
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. government aims to end the HIV epidemic by 2030, but skyrocketing medication costs may make that a pipe dream, a new study suggests. Since 2012, the cost of antiviral treatment for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, has jumped 34%. That's nearly four times the inflation rate. Even with new generic options, initial treatments now top $36,000 per patient per year, according to the study. In 2012, the average annual cost of initial treatment was $25,000 to $35,000. By 2018, the range was $36,000 to $48,000 a year, researchers found. That's a 53% increase, nearly six times the inflation rate. "Clearly, there is a movement by the industry to increase drug prices, and there's been advertising to try and make sure that people who might...
Strong Support Network Is Key to Women's Cancer Recovery: Study
3 February 2020
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Older women with colon or rectal cancer are more likely to die early if they lack support from family, friends or others, a new study finds. For the study, researchers looked at more than 1,400 postmenopausal women with colon or rectal cancer who were enrolled in the long-term U.S. Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study. Compared to those with strong social support, those with low support had a 52% higher risk of death from all causes and a 42% higher risk of death from colorectal cancer, the findings showed. When the researchers delved into specific types of support, rates of death were higher when the women did not have emotional support; informational support; help with tasks, chores or other daily needs; or someone to have fun with and...
Untreated Sleep Apnea Puts Your Heart at High Risk
3 February 2020
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Nearly 30 million Americans have a chronic health problem that more than doubles their risk of death due to heart disease. The culprit is obstructive sleep apnea, a disease in which the upper airway collapses during sleep, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). The AASM points to several major warning signs and risk factors for sleep apnea: snoring, choking or gasping, fatigue, obesity and high blood pressure. "Anyone who experiences snoring, choking or gasping during sleep should talk to a medical provider about their risk for sleep apnea," Dr. Kelly Carden, president of the academy, said in an AASM news release. Untreated sleep apnea increases the odds of several diseases. Which ones? The acronym HEARTS will help you...
Cervical Cancer Could All But Disappear in North America by 2040
3 February 2020
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Vaccination and screening could nearly wipe out cervical cancer in North America in the next 20 years and rid the world of the disease within the next century, researchers say. In a new study, the researchers assessed the potential impacts of the World Health Organization's (WHO) draft strategy for cervical cancer elimination, which calls for 90% of girls to be vaccinated against human papillomavirus (HPV) by 2030. HPV causes most cervical cancer cases. The WHO plan also calls for 70% of women to be screened for cervical cancer once or twice in their lifetime, and for 90% of women with precancerous lesions or cervical cancer to receive appropriate treatment. With HPV vaccination alone, cervical cancer cases would fall 89% within a century in...
