Americans' Anxiety Levels Still High: Poll
WEDNESDAY, May 17, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Americans are less anxious than they were in early 2020, at the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic, but many still have anxiety about keeping themselves or their families safe.In a new poll by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), 70% of U.S. adults reported being anxious or extremely anxious about keeping safe. About 78% of adults expressed anxiety over inflation. About 70% were anxious about a potential recession.And 67% had worries about gun violence, including 42% who were “very anxious†about gun violence, which was an increase of 5% over the previous month.“Ongoing stress about our basic needs can lead to other negative mental health effects,†said APA president Dr. Rebecca Brendel. “The impact of this stress means that...
Talking to Your Toddler Could Bring Real Benefits to...
16 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When parents talk to their toddlers, they are not only teaching them words, but may be shaping their developing brains, too, a new study suggests.Researchers found that toddlers whose parents spent a lot of time talking to them day to day showed a particular brain characteristic: a greater concentration of myelin in language-related parts of the brain.Myelin is a protective layer of protein and fat that wraps around nerve fibers in the brain, helping to speed the transmission of electrical signals through them.The new findings suggest that when toddlers are exposed to more chat, their brains accumulate myelin more rapidly than youngsters who hear fewer words."Myelination of the brain is really important, as it makes communication between brain...
Inflation Is Really Stressing Americans Out
16 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The high cost of -- everything: Rising inflation rates are ramping up anxieties among some groups of Americans much more than others, a new study reports.Women, middle-age adults and people with less education or lower pay are feeling much more stress over higher prices, as well as people who were previously married but are now widowed, divorced or separated, according to findings published May 15 in JAMA Network Open.“In general, it’s vulnerable populations -- people who are more exposed to changing prices,†said lead researcher Cary Wu, an assistant professor of sociology at York University in Toronto.For the study, Wu and his colleagues analyzed data on nearly 370,000 Americans who participated in the Household Pulse Survey conducted...
CDC Warns That Mpox Could Make a Summer Return
16 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Public health officials are urging people at risk of contracting mpox, the virus previously called monkeypox, to get vaccinated. They are concerned that a slowdown in infections since last summer may not continue.“There’s a very real risk of there being a surge in mpox cases over the next few months. Most likely, it won’t be anywhere near as big as it was last year, and that is because many people at risk were either infected or vaccinated,†Dr. Jay Varma, director of the Center for Pandemic Prevention and Response at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City, told CNN.Varma expressed uncertainty about how long protection from infections or vaccinations lasts.In an official update posted Monday on its Health Alert Network, the U.S....
Bipolar Disorder: What It Is, Symptoms & Treatments
16 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- More than 10 million people in the United States are living with bipolar disorder, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).It's characterized by severe, dramatic shifts in mood that can catch people off guard. The name captures the dramatic swing from elation to despair. With treatment, many people with bipolar disorder lead stable, satisfying lives.What is bipolar disorder?Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition marked by extreme swings between mania (elevated mood) and depression. On average, it starts around age 25, according to NAMI, although it may begin in adolescence."These are not just your normal run-of-the-day mood swings," said James Maddux, a senior scholar at George Mason University’s Center for the...
Appeals Court Ruling Keeps Obamacare Preventive Health Care Coverage in Place for Now
16 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Americans will continue to be able to get free preventive health care services -- at least for now. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans temporarily blocked a lower court decision on Monday, pausing a ruling that challenged an Affordable Care Act provision that all health plans cover certain care, the New York Times reported. The earlier ruling in March, by Judge Reed O’Connor of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Texas, would have immediately eliminated access to a long list of free preventive services mandated under the ACA since 2010. This was one of the most popular provisions of "Obamacare," as the ACA is commonly called.This includes depression screening for teens and drugs that prevent HIV...
Even Decades After Use, Anabolic Steroids Could Take Big Toll on Health
16 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Lured by promises of bigger muscles and better performance on the field, many athletes and bodybuilders turn to anabolic steroids despite their well-known side effects, including increased risk for heart disease and mood issues.Now, two new studies show these harms may persist after athletes stop taking the synthetic hormones.The message is clear when it comes to the illegal use of anabolic steroids to boost muscle mass and enhance athletic performance: “Don’t do it,†warned study author Dr. Yeliz Bulut. She is a doctoral student at Copenhagen University Hospital in Denmark.In one study of 64 healthy men aged 18 to 50 who engaged in recreational strength training, 28 were using anabolic steroids, 22 were former steroid users and 14 had...
Even After Pandemic, Cancer Patients Prefer Telemedicine Care
16 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- During the early part of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the only ways to see a doctor was via video or phone appointment, and it turns out many people with cancer still prefer telemedicine visits over in-person ones.The recent end of the U.S. public health emergency will remove some of the flexibilities that were put in place during the pandemic to allow for wider use of telemedicine, and this may be unfortunate, noted study author Dr. Krupal Patel, an oncologist at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla. “When implemented right and offered to the right patient, telemedicine visits can be a valuable alternative to in-person appointments,†Patel said. The benefits of telemedicine for people with cancer are substantial, he noted. It allows...
