First Drug Approved for Treatment of Peanut Allergy in Children
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Palforzia (Peanut [Arachis hypogaea] Allergen Powder-dnfp) to alleviate allergic reactions to accidental peanut exposure, the agency announced late Friday. Palforzia, a powder manufactured from peanuts, is indicated for initiation in individuals aged 4 to 17 years old with a confirmed peanut allergy. Treatment may be continued in individuals aged 4 years and older. "When used in conjunction with peanut avoidance, Palforzia provides an FDA-approved treatment option to help reduce the risk of these allergic reactions in children with peanut allergy," Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said in an agency news release. The FDA notes that...
Pregnancy, Breastfeeding May Guard Against Early Menopause
3 February 2020
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Both pregnancy and breastfeeding may protect women against early menopause, new research suggests. The risk was lowest among those who breast-fed exclusively, meaning the baby received breast milk only -- no liquids or solid foods. Early menopause is the end of menstruation before age 45, the study authors said. For the study, the researchers analyzed data from more than 108,000 U.S. women enrolled in the ongoing Nurses' Health Study II, which began in 1989. "In our study, women with three or more pregnancies who breastfed exclusively for a total of seven to 12 months had about a 32% lower risk of early menopause compared to women with the same number of children who breastfed exclusively for less than one month," said study first author...
One Egg Per Day Is Heart-Healthy, After All
3 February 2020
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- It's no yolk: Americans for decades have gotten dietary whiplash from the back-and-forth science on whether eggs are good for them. But a major new study will have many egg-lovers relieved: You can enjoy an egg a day without having to worry about your heart. "Moderate egg intake, which is about one egg per day in most people, does not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease or mortality even if people have a history of cardiovascular disease or diabetes," said study lead author Mahshid Dehghan. She's an investigator at the Population Health Research Institute (PHRI) of McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. The study, which analyzed data on more than 177,000 people, was funded by various provincial government health agencies in...
Labs Worldwide Working on Coronavirus Vaccine, But...
3 February 2020
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- A mad dash is afoot to craft a vaccine for the new coronavirus that's ravaging China and starting to spread across the globe, with possibly dozens of labs working on permanent protection against the pathogen. Researchers say an effective vaccine could be created in a matter of weeks, using advanced techniques. "We know enough. We can do this. We can actually make a vaccine in the lab in two weeks," said Florian Krammer, a professor of vaccinology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in New York City. "But -- here's the but -- that doesn't help us much." Why not? Because any new vaccine will still face manufacturing and regulatory hurdles that would take months to surmount, experts say. Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the...
As Health Experts Fear Possible Pandemic, U.S. Reports Cases Have Hit 11
3 February 2020
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- While health experts began to fear that the coronavirus outbreak in China will become a pandemic as infections topped 17,000 worldwide, U.S. officials announced 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 reports there are now 146 cases in at least 23 countries outside China. On Sunday, three more U.S. cases of coronavirus were reported 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 transmission in the United States, Associated Press reported. Also on Sunday, the...
Got Flu? Deal Quickly With Complications
2 February 2020
SUNDAY, Feb. 2, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Fighting the flu can be an unpleasant experience -- but the misery may not stop there. When you have the flu, your immune system is under attack, making complications common. Other infections can weasel their way into your body, according to Libby Richards, an associate professor at Purdue University's School of Nursing in West Lafayette, Ind. Common complications include pneumonia, sinus infections, ear infections and bronchitis. "Pneumonia can occur as a secondary bacterial infection and occurs after you have had flu symptoms for several days," Richards said in a university news release. "It can also occur as a viral infection, which develops more rapidly." Pneumonia is often accompanied by flu-like symptoms, including chills, fever and...
U.S. Bans Foreign Travelers From China as 8th Case of Coronavirus Confirmed
2 February 2020
SUNDAY, Feb. 2, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The United States will temporarily bar entry to any foreigners who have recently traveled to China because of a coronavirus outbreak in that country that has sickened nearly 14,000 and killed just over 300. Since Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed two more U.S. cases of coronavirus, bringing the total to eight. The seventh case is a man from California who had recently traveled to Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the outbreak. Meanwhile, an eighth case was confirmed in a man in his 20s who lives in Boston and recently returned from Wuhan. The U.S. ban, which will take effect on Sunday, was announced by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar as he declared the coronavirus a "public health...
Shovel That Snow, but Spare Your Back
1 February 2020
SATURDAY, Feb. 1, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Almost everyone gets stuck shoveling snow at some point during the winter. To prevent back pain and strain, one spinal expert has some advice. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Srinivasu Kusuma, from the University of Chicago Medicine Medical Group, noted it's all in the precautions you take before you tackle your snow-covered driveway. Decide if it's safe to shovel. If you already have back issues and don't exercise often, or if you are prone to lightheadedness or shortness of breath, maybe you shouldn't be shoveling. Instead, consider using a snowblower. For those with heart problems or chest pains during exercise, Kusuma urges they check with their doctor about shoveling. Warm up your muscles. "Make sure to warm up before you shovel, just as you...
