What Causes Asthma? The 6 Most Common Causes
WEDNESDAY, May 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Understanding what causes asthma can help you better manage its causes and triggers.Whether you, your child or another loved one has asthma, you can feel more in control by knowing your options for reducing asthma symptoms and managing its underlying causes. What is asthma?Asthma is a chronic condition that causes swelling and inflammation in the airway tissues. This leads to a narrowing of your airways, making it more difficult to breathe, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA).About 1 in 13 people in the United States have asthma. It affects people who are seniors, low-income, Hispanic, Black and Native Americans more than other groups, and can start either in childhood or adulthood. The symptoms of asthma include...
A More Diverse Human Genome: The 'Pangenome'
10 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Last year, gene researchers made news by announcing the completion of the first complete sequence of the human genome.That effort has now been expanded, with researchers using that success as a springboard to create a comprehensive and sophisticated collection of genome sequences that more accurately captures human diversity.The new “pangenome†includes the genome sequences of 47 different people, according to a report published May 10 in the journal Nature.Since everyone carries a paired set of chromosomes, the reference holds data from 94 distinct genome sequences, according to the report.Researchers with the international Human Pangenome Reference Consortium want to increase the number of participants to 350 by mid-2024, boosting the...

10 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- If you or someone you know experiences allergies, you’ve probably heard of the life-threatening reaction called anaphylactic shock.To help you better understand exactly what this condition is and how to manage it, experts offer a guide on what anaphylactic shock is, its symptoms, causes, risk factors and treatments.What is anaphylactic shock?Anaphylactic shock is a consequence of anaphylaxis, which is a severe immune reaction to something you’re allergic to, such as peanuts or bee stings.

Toxins From Grilling, Smoking & Car Exhaust Could Raise...
10 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Toxic chemicals that develop from car exhaust, smoking and backyard grilling might increase your risk of developing the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis, a new study suggests.These chemicals are called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). They form as coal, oil, gas, wood or tobacco burn. Flame grilling of meat and other foods also contribute to PAH formation, the researchers said."While more studies are needed, the findings suggest that polyaromatic hydrocarbons may be a significant contributor to rheumatoid arthritis," said lead researcher Chris D'Adamo, director of the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. "People at risk of rheumatoid arthritis should be cautious of polyaromatic...
AHA News: The 'Hispanic Paradox': Does a Decades-Old Finding Still Hold Up?
10 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 10, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Many Hispanic people in the United States face socioeconomic disadvantages and lower access to affordable health care. Despite these and other challenges to their health, they generally tend to live longer than other racial or ethnic communities – a health phenomenon that's been studied for decades.The "Hispanic paradox" has been widely recognized since 1986, when University of Texas researchers Kyriakos Markides and Jeannine Coreil published their analysis of two decades' worth of studies. Their review noted that Hispanic people in the Southwest fared better in key health indicators, including death due to cardiovascular diseases and some types of cancer."The idea was that despite the fact that Hispanics as a group have...

Surgery Beats Targeted Radiation for Patients Battling Early Stage Lung Cancer
10 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- More patients are choosing radiation therapy over surgery to treat their early-stage lung cancer, but a new study argues they might be making a mistake.People who are good surgical candidates for lung cancer appear to have a five-year survival rate that’s 15 percentage points lower if they opt to have radiation treatment instead, according to findings presented Monday at a meeting of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery, in Los Angeles.“It seems like surgical patients get a real benefit in long-term survival, and you see a real separation in the survival curve after two years,†said lead researcher Dr. Brooks Udelsman, a cardiothoracic surgeon with Yale School of Medicine. “If you have a patient who is expected to live more...
