Mpox Virus Can Replicate on Surfaces for Days: Study
THURSDAY, May 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Most cases of mpox are spread from skin-to-skin contact, but it is possible to catch the virus by touching a contaminated surface in a house or a hospital room, according to a new study. Researchers studying this found temperature made a difference. The virus could survive at room temperature on a surface for up to 11 days. At 4 degrees Celsius (39 degrees Fahrenheit), it could survive for up to a month. “Smallpox viruses are notorious for their ability to remain infectious in the environment for a very long time,†explained study author Toni Meister, from the molecular and medical virology department at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany. “For monkeypox [now called mpox], however, we didn’t know the exact time frames until now.“Our...
Cold Weather May Help Burn Fat, and Time of Day Matters
18 May 2023
THURSDAY, May 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Men, want to burn fat? Chill out.New research shows that exposure to cold in the morning may help you burn more fat than at other times of day. Exposure to cold activates brown fat, producing heat to help the body maintain its temperature and burn calories, especially those from fat. That makes it an ideal way for guys to improve cardiometabolic health — preventable conditions like heart attack, diabetes and liver disease, for instance.Sorry, ladies. The same may not be true for you.“Our study indicates that the optimum time to undergo cold exposure is at a specific point in the body’s 24-hour cycle,†said study co-author Mariëtte Boon, of Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands. “It may also be that there is a sex...
Scientists May Understand Link Between Common Virus &...
18 May 2023
THURSDAY, May 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It’s been known for years that Epstein-Barr virus can trigger multiple sclerosis or drive progression of the degenerative disease, and Swedish researchers think they now understand why.Some people have antibodies against the common Epstein-Barr virus that mistakenly attack a protein found in the brain and spinal cord, researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden say.Antibodies that bind to a specific protein in the virus, EBNA1, also are capable of binding to a similar protein in the brain and spinal cord called CRYAB, researchers learned by analyzing blood samples from more than 700 patients with MS.These misdirected antibodies can damage the nervous system and cause severe symptoms in MS patients, including problems with balance,...
Shift Work May Harm the Health of Men More Than Women
17 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 17, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Working nights can be tough on the body, and a new study suggests it might take a particular toll on men's health.The research, which involved lab mice and humans, hints that the male of the species might be more vulnerable to the "body clock" disturbances that come with shift work.In the lab, researchers found that male mice showed a range of negative effects from being exposed to abnormal day-night cycles. Everything from their gene activity to their gut bacteria to their blood pressure went out of whack. In contrast, female mice appeared largely protected.Then, using data on more than 90,000 U.K. shift workers, the researchers found that human males also appeared more affected. Men who worked nights were more likely than men working...
Extra Pounds in Youth Could Raise a Man's Odds for Fatal Prostate Cancer Decades Later
17 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 17, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When young men pack on excess weight during their teens and 20s, they may inadvertently drive up their risk for prostate cancer later on.The concern stems from new research that examined several decades' worth of weight fluctuations and prostate cancer rates among nearly 260,000 men in Sweden.The men ranged in age from 17 to 60. Researchers initially observed that overall, participants who put on roughly 1 pound or more per year across their life span had a 10% higher risk for developing aggressive prostate cancer as older adults.A similar weight pattern was linked to a 29% greater risk of fatal prostate cancer.But digging deeper, researchers found that most of the men grew heavier between the ages of 17 and 29. And ultimately most of the...
A Swallowable Gastric Balloon Helps People Shed Pounds
17 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 17, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Combining a swallowable gastric balloon with a weight loss drug may be a way to lose significant body weight, a new study suggests. In about eight months of combination treatment, participants lost an average of 19% of their body weight, and significantly reduced their body mass index (BMI), researchers report."Combination therapy gives providers much flexibility and further options in managing obesity in patients who need additional weight loss or increased durability," said lead researcher Dr. Roberta Ienca, from the Nuova Villa Claudia Clinic in Rome, Italy. "The ease of use and low rate of adverse events make it an ideal primary weight loss therapy that can be complemented by medications or other treatments," she added.Gastric balloons...
AHA News: Why Are South Asians Dying of Heart Disease? MASALA Looks For Answers.
17 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 17, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Like many people of South Asian ancestry, Anjana Srivastava can offer a long list of family members who've had heart disease."My grandfathers. My dad. My father-in-law. My brothers," she recalled. "My grandmother died from it. I don't think I even know a single family where someone doesn't have heart disease."That's one reason Srivastava, who grew up in India but lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, signed up to be part of the first large, long-term U.S. study of heart health in South Asian Americans more than a decade ago.That study is MASALA – the Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America. Launched in 2010, it has uncovered important details about heart health in the fast-growing group.The study is in...
WHO Says No to Artificial Sweeteners for Weight Loss
17 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 17, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Skip artificial sweeteners if you're trying to lose weight, warns the World Health Organization (WHO), noting the sugar substitutes aren't effective for shedding pounds and may also cause harm.Long-term use of sugar substitutes may cause "potential undesirable effects," according to new WHO guidance. This can include an "increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and mortality in adults,†CBS News reported.Consuming foods and beverages with ingredients like saccharin or sucralose or adding them to foods "does not confer any long-term benefit in reducing body fat in adults or children,†the WHO said after completing a systematic review.Among the artificial sweeteners WHO officials considered were acesulfame K, aspartame,...
