FDA Panel Backs First RSV Vaccine Given in Pregnancy to Protect Infants
THURSDAY, May 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The first vaccine designed to protect infants against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) by vaccinating their mothers during pregnancy has been backed by a panel of advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.On Thursday the independent committee of experts voted unanimously that the Pfizer-made vaccine was effective, and 10-4 that there was adequate data on safety to move the vaccine to approval, the Associated Press reported. The shot would be given to pregnant women at 24 to 36 weeks gestation. This should stimulate the production of maternal antibodies to RSV that would then pass through the placenta to the fetus.“Before the pandemic, RSV was the No. 1 cause of infant hospitalization in the United States, so this is a big deal,â€...
Fat Growing Around Muscles Could Be a Silent Killer
18 May 2023
THURSDAY, May 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It's well known that it's unhealthy to have belly fat accumulating around your abdominal organs, but there’s a more insidious form of fat that could be even more hazardous to your health, a new study says.Fat that infiltrates your muscles appears to dramatically increase your risk of death, according to findings published May 16 in the journal Radiology.Fatty muscle -- a condition called myosteatosis -- was associated with a 15.5% increase in absolute risk of death in a group of healthy adults, researchers found.By comparison, obesity appeared to increase participants’ absolute mortality risk by only 7.6%, results show. Fatty liver disease raised risk by 8.5% and muscle wasting by 9.7%.“The signal [for muscle fat risk] was so much...
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): What It Is, Symptoms...
18 May 2023
THURSDAY, May 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Ever heard of the winter blues? This common phrase is used to describe that blah feeling that strikes during winter months when the weather is cold and the sky is gray in many parts of the country.The reality is, the winter blues is a form of depression.“When there is a shift in the season and our access to daylight, our bodies struggle to adjust to the new light and time frame,†Susan Albers, a psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic, explains in an online video. This phenomenon is referred to as seasonal depression.What is seasonal depression?This type of depression is also known as seasonal affective disorder or SAD. The U.S. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) describes SAD as “changes in your mood and behavior whenever the...
Another Possible Exercise Bonus: Preventing Parkinson's
18 May 2023
THURSDAY, May 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Regular exercise has a long list of health benefits, and a new study suggests another one could be added: a lower risk of Parkinson's disease.The study, of nearly 99,000 French women, found that those who were most physically active day to day were 25% less likely to develop Parkinson's over three decades, versus women who were more sedentary.That does not prove that exercise, per se, is responsible, the researchers said. At the same time, they say it's unlikely that the link reflects "reverse-causation" -- women in the earliest stages of Parkinson's being less likely to exercise.That's because the study assessed the women's exercise habits for up to 20 years before their Parkinson's diagnosis.And since regular exercise clearly has benefits...
Vaping Could Up Teens' Odds for Marijuana Use, Binge Drinking
18 May 2023
THURSDAY, May 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Teens who use electronic cigarettes are significantly more likely than non-vapers to binge-drink and use cannabis, new research finds.Surveys of teens ages 13 to 18 revealed that vapers were 20 times more likely to use marijuana than teens who used no nicotine products. And those who vaped in the previous month were six times more likely to have had multiple binge-drinking episodes in the previous two weeks.These associations were even stronger for kids who smoked traditional cigarettes and vaped.“The surprising thing is just how strong those links were,†said lead study author Noah Kreski, a data analyst for Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. “The associations we see there are just far and away so much higher than what...

American Women Need More Maternity Leave, Access to Pregnancy Care: Poll
18 May 2023
THURSDAY, May 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Pregnancy is a difficult and potentially dangerous time in a woman’s life, and U.S. women say they aren’t getting the support they need while they’re expecting, a new HealthDay/Harris Poll has found.Nearly 2 in 5 women who are pregnant or have ever been pregnant (37%) say they have experienced barriers to getting needed care.Worse, women in their prime childbearing years (18 to 34) are more than twice as likely as those who are 35 and older to say they encountered barriers to needed health care during pregnancy and birth -- 74% versus 28%.The most common barrier they cite is an inability to make doctor’s appointments because of they are unable to take time off work or find child care.One in 5 women overall (19%) -- and 2 in 5 between...
FDA Panel to Vote on First RSV Vaccine Given in Pregnancy to Protect Infants
18 May 2023
THURSDAY, May 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The first RSV vaccine designed to protect infants is under consideration by a panel of advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.An independent committee of experts will vote Thursday on whether to recommend the shot for pregnant mothers at 24 to 36 weeks gestation.“Before the pandemic, RSV was the No. 1 cause of infant hospitalization in the United States, so this is a big deal,†Dr. Ofer Levy, director of the precision vaccines program at Boston Children’s Hospital, told NBC News. Levy is a temporary voting member of the panel, but not one who will vote on this vaccine.If the panel recommends the vaccine, the FDA would still need to approve it, a process that could take months. The agency is not obligated to follow its...
