Scientists Watch Pain in the Brain to Decode Its Secrets
MONDAY, May 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- For the first time ever, researchers have recorded specific brain activity associated with real-world chronic pain, using electrode implants to figure out which regions become active when people are in agony.The results provide further evidence that chronic pain is essentially different from short-term pain, by showing that such pain is processed in a separate region of the brain, said lead researcher Dr. Prasad Shirvalkar, an associate professor of anesthesia with the University of California, San Francisco.Chronic pain tended to be processed by the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a region rarely studied in pain medicine. This region is associated with decision-making, emotion and reward.On the other hand, short-term pain signals appeared to be...
AHA News: Stroke Rehab Improves Recovery. So Why Aren't...
22 May 2023
MONDAY, May 22, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Joe Granados was slumped in a chair when his wife – alerted by their children – came to check on him. He didn't seem like himself.Alba Patricia Granados, a nurse, quickly realized her husband was having a stroke. "He couldn't speak, and he couldn't move the right side of his body," she said.Joe had experienced similar symptoms earlier that morning but had recovered by the time he told his wife. Neither was too concerned because eight months earlier – the first time he had trouble walking and felt weakness in his right arm – doctors had attributed the symptoms to a possible migraine. After undergoing medical tests, he left the hospital in July 2021 with a clean bill of health.But on that day in March 2022, doctors at a...
Wegovy Shows Weight-Loss Effectiveness in Real-World Study
22 May 2023
MONDAY, May 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It’s a social media darling and one of the hottest prescription medications on the U.S. market. But does Wegovy really help patients lose weight?Yes, a new study suggests.Investigators analyzed data on more than 100 people using Wegovy (semaglutide). They found that after a year participants had shed more than 13% of their body weight on average. “This medication showed superior weight-loss outcome to all previously approved anti-obesity medications that were tested,†said study lead author Dr. Wissam Ghusn, a research fellow in gastroenterology and hepatology with the Precision Medicine for Obesity Program at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.Semaglutide was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2017 to help control...
Another Death, More Cases of Vision Loss Linked to...
22 May 2023
MONDAY, May 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Cases of vision loss and deaths are mounting in an investigation into eye drops contaminated with a rare strain of a drug-resistant bacteria. In all, four people have died, with one new death now being reported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Meanwhile, a total of 14 people have experienced vision loss, with six new cases reported last week.Infections have now been reported in 81 people living in 18 states. Four cases have involved people who have had to have their eyeballs surgically removed. The cases involve 10 brands of eye drops, most commonly EzriCare Artificial Tears. Global Pharma Healthcare’s Artificial Tears Lubricant Eye Drops were first recalled in February. The drops were distributed by EzriCare and Delsam...
Pregnancy Complications Linked to Higher Stroke Risk for Women
22 May 2023
MONDAY, May 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Women who’ve had certain pregnancy complications have significantly higher odds for a stroke than women with uncomplicated pregnancies, new research shows. Moreover, these strokes may occur at a relatively early age, according to investigators at the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.Also, compared to women with a single uncomplicated pregnancy, women who experienced complications in two or more pregnancies had twice the risk of stroke before age 45, the study authors noted.In light of these findings, women and their doctors should talk about a history of pregnancy complications including gestational high blood pressure, preeclampsia or preterm birth, the researchers said.“We understand from past studies in...
Medicare's Coverage of Methadone Could Help Get People Off Opioids
22 May 2023
MONDAY, May 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When Medicare expanded coverage for methadone, more people used this treatment for opioid use disorder, a new study shows.Use rose sharply but did not displace other opioid treatments such as buprenorphine, according to researchers. Much of the rise in methadone use was among Medicare Advantage enrollees under age 65. It was especially true among those who qualified for both Medicare and Medicaid.“These new policies represent an important step in increasing access to medication treatment for opioid use disorder for Medicare beneficiaries,†said lead author Erin Taylor, a senior policy researcher at RAND Corporation, a nonprofit research organization.To study this, the researchers analyzed encounter data and pharmacy records covering nearly...
Study Shows Powerful New Target to Saving Lives From COPD
22 May 2023
MONDAY, May 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers may have found a new target in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms that could potentially save more lives.The study focused on mucus plugs, which clog airways in the lungs of many patients with the respiratory disease.“As a chronic disease, COPD can’t be cured, but our findings suggest that using therapies to break up these mucus plugs could help improve outcomes for COPD patients, which is the next best thing,†said corresponding author Dr. Alejandro Diaz, an associate scientist in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. “Mucus is something that we already know a lot about from a basic science standpoint, and there are also a lot of mucus-targeting...
Hurricane Season Starts June 1. Protect Your Family From Carbon Monoxide Dangers
22 May 2023
MONDAY, May 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The Atlantic hurricane season in the United States starts June 1, and some dangers might not be immediately obvious: carbon monoxide poisoning, fires and electric shock.“Hurricanes and major storms in the U.S. have increased in frequency and severity in recent years. This hurricane season may bring widespread destruction that could impact millions of Americans,†said Alex Hoehn-Saric, chair of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. “I urge consumers to follow CPSC’s safety tips to prepare ahead of storms to prevent loss of life in a storm’s aftermath," he said in a commission news release.
