AHA News: Why a Cardiac Crisis Can Also Be a Mental Health Issue
TUESDAY, May 23, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- The physical needs of someone recovering from a heart attack, cardiac arrest or major heart surgery can be easy to understand. For many people, the mental and emotional healing may be less so.Issues such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress regularly affect not just patients but their loved ones, experts say, and have a direct influence on healing."Addressing depression is important," said Julie Cunningham, a clinical health psychologist who works with cardiac patients at Samaritan Medical Group in Corvallis, Ore. "Not just for mental health – it's actually really important for cardiac health, too."Patients who have depression recover more slowly after heart surgery, she said. "They are going to have a harder time...
FDA Approves New Nasal Spray to Reverse Overdoses
23 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 23, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved a second nasal spray for reversing an opioid overdose. To be sold as Opvee, the spray contains the medication nalmefene hydrochloride and will be available to Americans aged 12 and older with a prescription, the FDA said."The agency continues to advance the FDA Overdose Prevention Framework and take actionable steps that encourage harm reduction by supporting the development of novel overdose reversal products," FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said in an agency news release. "On the heels of the FDA's recent approval of the first over-the-counter opioid reversal agent [Narcan], the availability of nalmefene nasal spray places a new prescription opioid reversal option in the hands of...
Many Parents Worry About Social Media's Impact on Kids'...
23 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 23, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- About 7 in 10 American parents are concerned that social media trends related to appearance and editing apps and filters are harming their children’s body image, a new survey shows.Among those polled, about 69% of parents expressed worry about these editing apps and filters, which can completely change the look of someone's face and body. This may make them appear to meet some supposed standard of beauty. Also, about two-thirds said that trends related to diet and exercise also had a negative influence, according to the survey results released May 23 by the On Our Sleeves Movement for Children’s Mental Health, from Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.

PTSD, Other Mental Health Ills Haunt Gunshot Survivors
23 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 23, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- For people who survive gunshot wounds, the trauma may leave mental scars that worsen with time, a new study finds.Among 87 adults treated for gun injuries at a Wisconsin trauma center, many had worsening symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression six months later.The findings, published May 22 in the Annals of Internal Medicine, come from one of the few studies that has tracked the long-term mental health of gunshot victims. For years, gun violence research was stymied in the United States after Congress suspended federal funding for it in 1996. That changed just a few years ago."For a long time, we weren't able to do firearms research, so we don't really know a lot about these long-term outcomes," said Dr. Peter Ehrlich,...
New Insights Into Each Parent's Role in the Genetics of Autism
23 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 23, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers working to unlock the mysteries of autism report they have discovered differences among children when two in a family have the condition versus just one.Scientists from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York have been researching the genetic origins of autism for two decades. Their discoveries have included thousands of genes that, when damaged, may cause a child to be born with an autism spectrum disorder.They still couldn’t account for all cases, so they analyzed the genomes of more than 6,000 volunteer families. The researchers discovered that in families that have two or more children with autism, the siblings shared more of their father’s genome -- the complete set of DNA. Conversely, in families where only one sibling...
'Complex' Genetic Links Between Marijuana Use, Psychiatric Ills
23 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 23, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A subset of people may be at high risk for both psychiatric disorders and for using marijuana, based on their genetics, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Oslo in Norway have found that some of the genetic variants associated with cannabis use are also linked to psychiatric disorders.“These findings are important as they show that the complex links between cannabis use and these disorders may not only be caused by cannabis use itself, but could also be driven by shared genetic susceptibility,†lead co-author Nadine Parker said in a university news release.The rate of cannabis use is high among patients with disorders linked to psychosis, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Cannabis is a psychoactive drug...
Steroid Hydrocortisone Alone May Not Cut Death Risk From Septic Shock: Study
23 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 23, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new study finds that while hydrocortisone on its own may not prevent death from sepsis, it can improve survival when combined with other steroids while eliminating the need for vasopressor drugs.Vasopressor medications help raise blood pressure when it’s so low that you can’t get enough blood to your organs. Doctor often deliver these drugs via an IV.“For the first time, the effects of hydrocortisone for the treatment of patients with septic shock could be studied by analyzing individual data from the main randomized trials published to date,†said researcher Dr. Romain Pirracchio, a professor of anesthesia at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). “This study shows that if the effect of hydrocortisone on the mortality of...
