Exercise Might Boost Your Tolerance for Pain
THURSDAY, May 25, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- One potential solution to reducing chronic pain: Get moving.A new Norwegian study finds that physically active folks have greater pain tolerance compared to sedentary types. Those with higher levels of activity also had higher pain tolerance, according to the report published online May 24 in PLOS ONE.“Becoming or staying physically active over time can benefit your pain tolerance. Whatever you do, the most important thing is that you do something,†study author Anders Årnes, a PhD student at University Hospital of North Norway, and colleagues said in a journal news release.For the study, the investigators analyzed data from more than 10,000 adults who participated in a large population survey conducted periodically in Norway.Using data...
Alzheimer's Genes Might Also Raise Odds for Epilepsy
25 May 2023
THURSDAY, May 25, 2023 (HealthDay News) – People with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease may have an increased risk of epilepsy, a new study says. And folks with a certain type of epilepsy may have higher odds of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Having Alzheimer’s was linked to a 5.3% increased risk of generalized epilepsy, researchers report in the journal Neurology. This involves seizures that occur from both halves of the brain.Researchers also found a 1.3% increased risk of a condition known as focal epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis. In focal epilepsy, seizures affect one half of the brain.“Our research found that not only are people with Alzheimer’s disease more likely to develop epilepsy, but also that those with focal epilepsy, which accounts for more...
Heavy Drinking Could Raise Your Risk for Frailty: Study
25 May 2023
THURSDAY, May 25, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Drinking heavily while younger puts you at risk for muscle loss and frailty later in life, new research suggests. These findings are another reason to cut back on the booze, according to the research team from the University of East Anglia (UEA) in the United Kingdom.“Losing muscle as we age leads to problems with weakness and frailty in later life,†said professor Ailsa Welch from UEA's Norwich Medical School. “Alcohol intake is a major modifiable risk factor for many diseases, so we wanted to find out more about the relationship between drinking and muscle health as we age,†she said in a university news release.Using data from the UK Biobank for nearly 200,000 people aged 37 to 73, the investigators found that those with the lowest...
Large Study Supports Less Invasive Way to Treat 'Leaky'...
24 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 24, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When one of the heart’s valves springs a big leak, that can spell big trouble.The good news: The condition, known as degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR), is treatable using a minimally invasive intervention known as TEER (transcatheter edge-to-edge repair), a procedure that involves the insertion of a small clip to enable proper valve closure and blood flow.The better news? A new real-world analysis is the first to definitively conclude that the vast majority of patients who undergo the procedure do well afterwards.That should reassure the more than 2 million Americans who have been diagnosed with DMR.“Treatment was successful in nearly 9 out of every 10 patients in whom TEER was used to repair their mitral valve,†study lead author...
Hi-Tech Implant Helps Paralyzed Man Walk More Naturally
24 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 24, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A Dutch man with paralyzed legs can now stand and walk, thanks to a wireless brain-spine interface that responds to his thoughts by moving his legs.Gert-Jan Oskam, 40, suffered a spinal cord injury 11 years ago from a bike accident in China that left him unable to walk.Oskam now has a brain implant that picks up signals of movement that, in a healthy person, would travel down the spinal cord and cause the legs to move. Instead, that implant transmits those signals wirelessly to a second implant located in his lower spine, which then stimulates the muscles of the leg into action, researchers reportThis experimental high-tech “digital bridge†between the brain and spine allowed Oskam to pick up a paint brush just the other day and perform a...
Illicit Use of Ketamine Keeps Rising in U.S.
24 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 24, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Seizures of illicit ketamine by drug enforcement agents have surged throughout the United States, growing 349% from 2017 through 2022, a new study finds.Rising use of ketamine could increase the likelihood that people who use the drug recreationally may instead get a potentially harmful version of the substance, researchers say. “This dramatic rise in ketamine seizures by law enforcement may be indicative of rising nonmedical and recreational use,†said study co-author Joseph Palamar, a researcher in the Center for Drug Use and HIV/HCV Research at NYU School of Global Public Health. "Unlike illegal ketamine years ago, most illegally obtained ketamine today is not pharmaceutical grade and is sold in powder form, which may increase the risk...
More Older Americans Use Online 'Patient Portals' to Access Care
24 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 24, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Older Americans are increasingly likely to log into “patient portals†to access their health care information — but confidence levels vary. About 78% of people aged 50 to 80 now use at least one patient portal, according to the new University of Michigan (U-M) National Poll on Healthy Aging. Five years ago, just 51% in this age range used patient portals, the researchers said. The poll also found that 55% of those who used patient portals had done so in the past month. About 49% had accounts on more than one portal. This surge is partly due to the increase in use of telehealth visits, said Denise Anthony, the U-M School of Public Health professor who worked on the poll.“This change makes access to secure portals even more important...
Most Americans Don't Know What 988 Suicide Crisis Hotline Is For: Poll
24 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 24, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Only 13% of American adults understand the purpose of the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline nearly a year after its widely publicized launch, a new survey from the Pew Charitable Trusts shows.“There is an opportunity and a need for state and local leaders to launch inclusive awareness campaigns in the months ahead,†lead researcher and Pew senior manager Tracy Velázquez said in a statement, CNN reported. “The federal government’s most recent investment into 988 shows a commitment to building a strong crisis care infrastructure in the country — one that is critically important, given the many people experiencing mental health and substance use issues,†Velázquez added.The 988 line began last year after it was changed from...
