Summer's Near: What's the Best Sunscreen for You?
WEDNESDAY, May 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It’s easy to keep your skin safer in the summer sun if you have the right sunscreen.UCLA Health offers some tips for picking the best type and SPF level. Getting sunburned just five times in a lifetime doubles the risk of getting melanoma, the most serious skin cancer, so making sure you’re protected is worth the effort, the experts at UCLA Health said in a news release. Types of sunscreens can be divided into two categories: mineral and chemical. Each type has its pros and cons. Mineral sunscreen sits on the skin’s surface. It physically blocks ultraviolet (UV) light before those rays can penetrate the skin. While offering instant protection, it can be harder to rub in, needs to be applied more frequently and tends to leave a white...
Half of Chicago's Residents Have Witnessed a Shooting by...
10 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Living with the potential for gun violence takes a “cumulative physiological toll†on people in Chicago and across the country, said researchers whose new study found that half of that city’s residents had witnessed a shooting by age 40. The study followed Chicagoans from childhood and adolescence in the 1990s over the course of 25 years.Of the more than 2,400 study participants, about 56% of Black and Hispanic residents had seen at least one shooting by the time they turned 40. About 25% of white Chicagoans had witnessed a shooting by that time.The average age that Chicago residents first witnessed a shooting was 14. Some weren’t just seeing the gun violence, but experiencing it. More than 7% of Black and Hispanic people had been...
The Side Effects of ‘Andro,’ The Banned Supplement...
9 May 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Androstenedione is one of those supplements that was peddled to athletes for years as a quick path to bulging muscles and high testosterone levels, but it comes with some serious side effects.Also known as "andro," the dietary supplement was once touted to enhance athletic performance by stimulating muscle growth and boosting testosterone levels. But once it enters the body, it acts like a steroid and can pose similar health risks.In October 2004, President George Bush signed the Anabolic Steroid Control Act, which reclassified androstenedione from a supplement to an anabolic steroid, making it and other steroid-based drugs a controlled substance. They are currently banned in sports.This was because a small number of studies of androstenedione...
Uptick Seen in Mpox Cases in Chicago
9 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While the mpox outbreak has been waning since last summer, it hasn't disappeared yet. Howard Brown Health, a LGBTQ-focused health clinic in Chicago, recently reported seeing an increase in mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) cases, with eight diagnosed since April 17, compared to only one in the previous three months. Last week’s case count was the highest in Chicago since early November 2022 and the highest weekly new case rate in any U.S. region so far this year, the clinic added. Even more troubling is the fact that six of the eight affected patients were fully vaccinated. All of the cases were mild.“We urge sexually active members of our community to receive the mpox vaccine. For example, unvaccinated people planning to attend...
Latex Allergy: What It Is, Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
9 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Having a latex allergy is no fun, but it can be a real challenge for health professionals who have to work with a wide variety of medical equipment that can contain the allergen.Latex allergy can trigger a range of symptoms, from itchy hives and rashes to life-threatening anaphylaxis. While StatPearls estimates that it only affects 1% to 2% of the population, it can be a source of frustration for those who have it. To make matters worse, the same report suggests that latex allergy is more likely in health care workers, who are surrounded by items containing latex, including stethoscopes, electrode pads, syringes, respirators, gloves, drainage tubes and more.Understanding latex allergy is crucial, especially for those frequently exposed to...
Head-to-Head Study Finds Which Diabetes Meds Are Best for the Heart
9 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- There are many medications for type 2 diabetes, but one class may stand out for protecting the heart, a new study suggests.The study, of thousands of U.S. veterans with diabetes, found that those who added drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists to their usual regimen were somewhat less likely to suffer a first-time heart attack or stroke in coming years.That was in comparison to vets who added either of two other types of diabetes drug.GLP-1 receptor agonists are a newer class of drug for type 2 diabetes and include medications like dulaglutide (Trulicity), liraglutide (Victoza) and semaglutide (Ozempic). They are usually taken by injection.The drugs are already recommended options for people with type 2 diabetes who either have heart disease or...
Dirty Air & Lung Cancer: Detroit Study Shows How Your Neighborhood Matters
9 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Does where you live affect your risk for lung cancer? Just possibly, experts warn.Although cigarette smoking is the principal cause of most lung cancers, new research has found evidence that Americans who live in areas where air quality is poor may be at greater risk for the most common cancer killer in the United States.The finding is based on mapping that zeroed in on Detroit and surrounding Wayne County, Michigan, to see how lung cancer incidence over nearly 40 years stacked up against air quality in different areas.“The main takeaway is that there is a relationship between incidence of lung cancer and specific environmental pollutants,†said lead author Dr. Hollis Hutchings, a thoracic surgery research resident at Detroit’s Henry Ford...
Experts Recommend All Women Get Mammograms Starting at Age 40
9 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- In a major change from its longstanding advice, an influential medical panel now recommends that women start mammography screening for breast cancer at age 40.The new guidance, from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, says women at average risk of breast cancer should start having mammograms, every other year, when they turn 40. For years, the recommendation had been to start at age 50 -- though women in their 40s were advised to talk with their doctor and choose what was best for them.The change, published as a draft recommendation on May 9, brings the task force guidance more in line with what other medical groups advise.Those groups -- including the American Cancer Society and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists --...
