Traces of Human DNA Are Everywhere in the Environment
MONDAY, May 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Detailed remnants of human DNA can be found just about everywhere that people have been, a surprising finding that raises a host of ethical issues for researchers, a new study says.Environmental samples of human DNA were found nearly everywhere, save for isolated islands and remote mountaintops where people have never visited, researchers said. While sequencing this DNA offers researchers consistent data, it also presents an ethical dilemma because it reveals so much personal genetic information.“We’ve been consistently surprised throughout this project at how much human DNA we find and the quality of that DNA,†David Duffy, a professor of wildlife disease genomics at the University of Florida in Gainesville, said in a school news release....
AHA News: Her Husband and Her 'Indomitable Spirit' Keep...
15 May 2023
MONDAY, May 15, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Cécile Boynton texted Mark, her husband of five months, that she was on her way home from work. They would then head over to their personal trainer for a workout session.The two had met a few years earlier at a taekwondo studio near their home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Both black belt holders, Mark had been practicing martial arts since he was a teenager. Cécile had been practicing for a decade.As she drove home, Cécile developed a headache. She felt so queasy and lightheaded that she pulled off the highway. After a few minutes she felt better, so continued her trip.The next thing she remembered was sitting on the side of the road trying to answer questions from paramedics. Her car was upside down. She'd apparently...
Marijuana Users Have Triple the Odds for Leg Artery...
15 May 2023
MONDAY, May 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Smoking cigarettes has long been linked to peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition where the buildup of plaque narrows arteries and limits blood flow to the legs or arms. Now, a new study suggests that marijuana may have a similar impact, after finding that users had three times the risk of developing PAD.Although the study is preliminary and doesn’t determine whether the impact is all from smoking weed or other popular methods of using the drug, such as eating marijuana-infused gummies, it may be a red flag for users and could be something their doctors should ask about to gauge risk factors for their patients.“Marijuana users should seek early evaluation by a health care professional if they have symptoms such as leg pain while...

Is That Hand-Me-Down Crib or Stroller Safe? Most Parents Unsure, Survey Finds
15 May 2023
MONDAY, May 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Baby equipment is costly, so many parents buy it used, but they’re not always sure whether it’s still safe, a nationwide poll reveals.About half of the 932 parents surveyed in February said they had used pre-owned equipment for their baby, most often cribs and high chairs, according to a University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital poll released May 15.Yet, 2 in 3 said it was hard to tell if the equipment was safe.“Used child essentials are often more cost-effective, environmentally friendly and convenient,†said poll co-director Sarah Clark. “However, many parents in our poll weren’t completely confident they could identify safety concerns, such as unsafe wear and tear, recalls or hygiene issues.â€About half said...
Bone Up on Osteoporosis & Your Bone Health
15 May 2023
MONDAY, May 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It’s important to understand your bone health to avoid damage as you age.Losses of bone mineral density and bone mass can cause weakening, potentially leading to a fracture, especially in the hip, spine and wrist.Osteoporosis is considered a silent disease because it often has no symptoms until someone breaks a bone in an unusual way, according to the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City.“Breaking a bone after falling while in a standing position could be a sign of osteoporosis,†endocrinologist Dr. Jessica Starr said in a hospital news release. “Any fracture should prompt a discussion of bone health with one’s doctor.â€Chances of that happening go up with age. Before osteoporosis comes osteopenia, a less-serious loss of bone...
Study Shows Season, Time of Day When Suicidal Thoughts Most Likely
15 May 2023
MONDAY, May 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While people might assume suicide is more common in the darker months of winter, it actually peaks in spring and early summer.Researchers investigating what’s happening have found that suicidal thoughts peak in December but then take a few months to reach a “tipping point.†People are also most vulnerable to ending their lives between 4 and 5 a.m., according to a new study.“It is well documented that winter is the time when people with mental health problems may struggle with worsening mood and depression. Indeed, seasonal affective disorder is a recognized issue related to the change in season that affects many people’s mental health,†said study co-author Brian O’Shea. He is an associate professor of psychology at the University...
Think You Need an Opioid? Here Are Questions to Ask Your Doctor
14 May 2023
SUNDAY, May 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It’s important to ask questions when your doctor or dentist writes you a new prescription.This is especially true for opioid pain medications, such as hydrocodone, oxycodone or morphine.While these drugs are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for acute and chronic pain, they can have serious side effects, including addiction and even death. Misuse of opioids have led to the current drug overdose crisis in the United States.
