Salmonella Infections in 6 States Linked to Papa Murphy's Raw Cookie Dough
WEDNESDAY, May 24, 2023 (HealthDay News) – The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned Tuesday that a salmonella outbreak involving 18 people in six states has been linked to Papa Murphy's raw cookie doughTwo individuals were hospitalized in connection with the infections, the CDC said in its alert. No one has died. Those sickened were in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Utah and Missouri. Illnesses were reported between February and May, according to the CDC.In interviews with some of the sick people, the agency learned that several reported having eaten the dough.

Standard Tests May Underestimate Severity of Sleep Apnea...
24 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 24, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When it comes to diagnosing sleep apnea, current screening methods may put Black patients at a disadvantage, new research suggests.Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious sleep disorder characterized by disrupted breathing during sleep. An initial screening tool might be an overnight pulse oximeter test — a small device clipped on to a fingertip that measures blood oxygen levels.Investigators began this study after seeing research that pulse oximeters used on intensive care unit patients during the COVID-19 pandemic might be less accurate in Black patients than in white patients.“While skin pigmentation seems to affect the results of oximetry, we did not know whether the same would be true during tests for OSA,†said study co-author...
Biological Secrets of the Woman Who Can't Feel Pain
24 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 24, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A unique genetic brew has benefitted a Scottish woman who lives virtually pain-free, heals more rapidly and experiences reduced anxiety and fear, researchers from University College London report.Pain geneticists have been studying the woman, Jo Cameron, for a decade. She came to their attention when her doctor noticed that she experienced no pain after major surgeries on her hip and hand.After six years of examination, researchers identified a new gene named FAAH-OUT, which contained genetic mutations that were the cause of Cameron’s unique abilities.However, they still had no idea how exactly these mutations benefitted her, so research continued, leading to this new study.The area of the genome containing FAAH-OUT had previously been...

U.S. Surgeon General Warns That Social Media Can Harm Teens' Mental Health
23 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 23, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Social media presents a “profound risk†to young brains, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy warned on Tuesday.In a report, Murthy warned about the risks of social media use for young people and called on policymakers, tech companies, researchers and parents to “urgently take action."“There are ample indicators that social media can also have a profound risk of harm to the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents,†Murthy said. The full effect of social media isn’t well understood, he noted. “Adolescents are not just smaller adults,†Murthy told The New York Times. “They’re in a different phase of development, and they’re in a critical phase of brain development.â€Among the concerns are that if kids are...
HIV Infections Continue to Decline Among Young Americans
23 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 23, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- HIV infection numbers in the United States are down, public health officials announced Tuesday.Declines in young people are driving the overall decrease.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention attributed an overall 12% decline between 2017 and 2021 largely due to a 34% drop in new infections among gay and bisexual males aged 13 to 24.“Our nation’s HIV prevention efforts continue to move in the right direction,†CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said in an agency news release. “Longstanding factors, such as systemic inequities, social and economic marginalization and residential segregation, however, stand between highly effective HIV treatment and prevention and people who could benefit from them. Efforts must be...
CT Scans Beat Gene Scores at Predicting Mid-Life Heart Risk
23 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 23, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When it comes to predicting heart trouble down the road, the arteries may say a lot more than the genes do, according to a new study.Researchers found that CT scans of the heart arteries were better than genetics at predicting middle-aged adults' risk of heart disease in coming years.In fact, people's genes gave little useful information over and above low-tech methods, such as measuring blood pressure.Experts said the findings -- published May 23 in the Journal of the American Medical Association -- do not write off a role for genetic tests in gauging heart disease risk, particularly in relatively younger people.But for now, they said, CT scans -- which detect calcium deposits in the heart arteries -- remain the better tool.Doctors have long...
Parents' Mistrust of HPV Vaccine May Be Growing
23 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 23, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It was a no-brainer for New York City mom Jen L. when a pediatrician suggested that she vaccinate her two sons against human papillomavirus (HPV).“Before my kids were eligible for the vaccine, I had read up on it to learn about the vaccine and its positives in general, and also to learn if there were any significant side effects," she said. “I have a good friend who had issues from HPV in her 20s, and I was excited to read a vaccine could now help prevent all the drama she had gone through.â€But not all parents feel this way about the cancer-preventing HPV shots, a new study suggests.Parents of nearly 120,000 unvaccinated teens aged 13 to 17 were asked why they didn’t plan to vaccinate their children against HPV, which is a sexually...
