Doctors Perform First In Utero Brain Surgery
FRIDAY, May 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- For the first time, doctors have successfully performed fetal brain surgery to treat a rare blood vessel abnormality that can be fatal to newborns.Experts said the accomplishment, for a condition known as a vein of Galen malformation (VOGM), is "exciting." But they also cautioned that this is one case, and more research is needed to know whether the prenatal brain procedure is a good strategy.VOGM is rare, occurring in an estimated 1 in 60,000 births, and is often detected during routine ultrasounds late in pregnancy.The condition arises when misshapen arteries in the brain make a wrong connection: Instead of sending blood to smaller capillaries that feed the brain and slow down the flow of blood, the arteries connect directly to a large vein...
AHA News: She Wanted to Thank the Surgeon Who Saved Her...
5 May 2023
FRIDAY, May 5, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Hours after Sarah Hernandez was born in La Verne, California, doctors diagnosed problems with her heart – problems they couldn't fix. So they arranged for her to be flown to nearby Children's Hospital Los Angeles.The trouble involved two valves in the newborn's heart. One valve was deformed and the other was overly narrow. Both congenital heart defects prevented proper blood flow. She needed open-heart surgery.After 12 hours in the operating room, pediatric cardiac surgeon Dr. Vaughn Starnes told her parents that things went even better than expected.Sarah grew up hardly thinking about her dramatic start to life. Annual checkups with a cardiologist were about the only reminder. Her parents were somewhat reluctant to allow her...
Mind May Hold Clues to Your Risk of Long COVID
5 May 2023
FRIDAY, May 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- In trying to untangle the mysteries of long COVID, researchers have found anxiety and depression may play a role for some of those with the lingering condition. In the study from researchers at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), patients who perceived that they had thinking difficulties during COVID infection were also more likely to have lingering physical symptoms than those who did not report thinking issues. About one-third of people with long COVID symptoms perceived they had thinking deficits, which have been found to be related to anxiety and depression.These findings suggest that psychological issues such as anxiety or depressive disorders play a part in some people experiencing long COVID.“This perception of cognitive...
Achilles Tendinitis: What Is It, and What Are the...
5 May 2023
FRIDAY, May 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Chronic tendon issues are a frequent source of pain and can limit activity. They become more common with age, weight and certain activities, and early and appropriate diagnosis by a doctor is critical to get the best outcomes.The Achilles tendon is the biggest tendon in the human body. It connects the calf to the foot, and it is responsible for push-off power. The tendon is critical for stability during standing, walking, running and other activities. During muscle contraction, the tendon functions as a rope. It has elasticity to generate the tension required to handle the force of six times a person’s body weight. What is Achilles tendinitis?Over time, the tendon can become strained, injured or inflamed. On a day-to-day basis, people put...
Autism in Older Adults: Studies Show Higher Rates of Mental, Physical Ills
5 May 2023
FRIDAY, May 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While a lot of research has focused on autism in children, much less effort goes toward studying adults with autism.Now, two new reports find this group is at substantial risk for age-related physical conditions and injuries, as well as being particularly susceptible to certain mental health issues including loneliness, social isolation and lower quality of life.“There is accumulating evidence suggesting that when autistic individuals get older, they face considerable challenges from co-existing physical conditions,†said researcher Shengxin Liu, a PhD student at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. “For instance, there was evidence on obesity and epilepsy, but the research among older autistic adults remains scarce, accounting...
Maker of Wegovy Limits Supply of Obesity Drug in U.S.
5 May 2023
FRIDAY, May 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk said Thursday it will limit distribution of its low-dose versions of the wildly popular weight-loss drug Wegovy, to ensure that people already taking the drug will have enough supply. The medication is one of three drugs from a class known as GLP-1 agonists. These medications have been shown in studies to be effective for weight loss but have faced shortages amid a boom in sales triggered by celebrity endorsements, the company said in a statement.The two other drugs in this class, Eli Lilly’s Mounjaro and Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic, are also used to treat type 2 diabetes. Wegovy is the same medication as Ozempic but it is available in higher doses."Today, we are serving hundreds of thousands of U.S. patients with...
Deep Sleep Might Be a Buffer Against Alzheimer's-Linked Memory Loss
5 May 2023
FRIDAY, May 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Getting good sleep is an important part of wellness for many reasons, but new research suggests deep sleep may even guard against memory loss linked to Alzheimer's.While disrupted sleep has been linked with accumulating beta-amyloid plaques in the brain faster, scientists found that superior amounts of deep, slow-wave sleep can be protective against memory decline in those with a high burden of Alzheimer’s disease.This could help ease some of dementia’s most devastating outcomes, the experts said.“With a certain level of brain pathology, you're not destined for cognitive symptoms or memory issues,†said study author Zsófia Zavecz, a postdoctoral researcher from the University of California, Berkeley’s Center for Human Sleep Science....
Four Signs That a Young Adult Might Have Colon Cancer
5 May 2023
FRIDAY, May 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Four symptoms could provide early warning of colon cancer in younger adults.Being aware of these red flags could lead to earlier detection and diagnosis for those under age 50, said researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.The telltale symptoms are abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, diarrhea and iron deficiency anemia.The death rate from colon cancer has been dropping for several decades in older adults who get regular colonoscopies and have improved treatment, according to the American Cancer Society. However, more younger people are diagnosed at advanced stages and are dying. In fact, the number of young adults with colon cancer has nearly doubled in recent years. “We want younger adults to be aware of and act on...
