Maria Menounos Reveals Battle Against Stage 2 Pancreatic Cancer
WEDNESDAY, May 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Celebrity host Maria Menounos, who will become a mother this summer, revealed this week that she recently underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer.The podcast host was diagnosed with stage 2 pancreatic cancer in January, a discovery made after she had episodes of intense abdominal pain. Surgeons removed a 3.9-centimeter tumor and part of Menounos’ pancreas, along with her spleen, a fibroid and 17 lymph nodes in February, People magazine reported."I need people to know there are places they can go to catch things early," Menounos, 44, told People. "You can't let fear get in the way. I had that moment where I thought I was a goner -- but I'm okay because I caught this early enough."The former E! News correspondent and her husband, Keven...
Experimental Alzheimer's Drug Slows Decline in Thinking...
3 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Another experimental drug meant for Alzheimer’s disease looks so promising that drugmaker Eli Lilly plans to ask the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for full approval by the end of June. Known as donanemab, the medication clears amyloid plaque from the brain. In a late trial, the drug slowed memory and thinking declines in early symptomatic Alzheimer’s patients by more than a third, Lilly said Wednesday. About 47% of those taking the medication had no decline on a key measure of thinking over a year, compared to 29% of patients on a placebo."We are extremely pleased that donanemab yielded positive clinical results with compelling statistical significance for people with Alzheimer's disease in this trial," Dr. Daniel Skovronsky, Lilly's...
Spring, Summer Is Peak Time for Dogs Biting Kids
3 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- In the spring and summer, everyone races outside with their dogs to enjoy the warmer weather, but a new study suggests there is a downside to that.More children are bitten by dogs in those months, according to researchers at Nemours Children’s Health.But a dog bite isn’t inevitable: It’s possible to keep both dogs and children safer, and to provide proper care if the unfortunate does happen, researchers say.Some of this is simply a good reminder, as people are less contained than they were during the pandemic, a time in which many people adopted dogs and puppies, according to researcher Dr. Edward Caterson, division chief of pediatric plastic surgery at Nemours Children’s Health in Wilmington, Del. “Sometimes in medicine, we'll...
U.S. Deaths Due to Fentanyl Nearly Quadrupled in 5 Years
3 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Overdose deaths in the United States tied to the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl soared 279% from 2016 to 2021, health officials reported Wednesday. With the nation reeling from continued drug overdose deaths, investigators sought to identify trends in drug-related fatalities involving the five most commonly involved opioids and stimulant drugs: fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and oxycodone.In just five years, deaths involving fentanyl -- the most frequently implicated substance -- rose from 6 per 100,000 people to 22 per 100,000, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."This continues to be a public health concern in the United States that we should keep monitoring," said lead researcher Merianne Rose...
Among Kids With Autism, Girls Are More Prone to Anxiety Disorders Than Boys
3 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Boys are four times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls are, but girls may be more likely to experience anxiety alongside the disorder than boys, new research reveals.Anxiety tends to travel with autism, which is characterized by problems with social interaction, communication and behavior. About 1 in 36 kids in the United States has autism, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Now, this latest study suggests that the developmental disorder might play out a bit differently in girls.“Autistic females have higher rates of anxiety disorders than autistic males, especially in presentations of anxiety that are distinct to autism and may be more challenging to identify," said study author Christine Wu...
AHA News: How a Self-Care Expert Takes Care of Herself
3 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 3, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Self-care means many things to many people. To Dr. Beth Frates, director of lifestyle medicine and wellness in the department of surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, it boils down to "caring for your body, mind and soul."And to do that, she might pick up a hula hoop. Or a dog.Frates, who is president of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, has written extensively about wellness and helped develop a self-test for evaluating it. She shared her self-care tips for "The Experts Say," an American Heart Association News series where specialists explain how they apply what they've learned to their own lives. (The conversation has been edited for length.)What are some of the most important aspects of...
Mindfulness Approach Helps Ease the Stress of Parenting a Child With Autism
3 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- "Mindfulness" practices may help parents of young children with autism manage their daily stressors, and it could benefit their kids in the process, a preliminary study suggests.Parenting is stressful, and studies show that parents of kids with autism often have particularly high stress levels.Autism is a developmental brain disorder that, to varying degrees, impairs communication and social skills. Some kids have milder difficulties, but others are profoundly affected — speaking little, if at all, and getting wrapped up in repetitive, obsessive behaviors. Some children have intellectual disabilities, while others have average or above-average IQs.There are various therapies and services to help improve daily functioning and quality of life...
Ultrasound Breaches Blood-Brain Barrier, Helping Drugs Fight Tumors
3 May 2023
WEDNESDAY, May 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Brain cancers are notoriously difficult to treat because most chemotherapy drugs can’t breach the blood-brain barrier, a microscopic layer of cells that protect the brain from toxins.But researchers now say they can temporarily open that barrier and get more chemo to brain tumors, using an experimental ultrasound device.The technology led to a four- to sixfold increase in chemo drug concentrations within the brains of patients. The researchers observed this increase with two different powerful chemotherapy drugs, paclitaxel and carboplatin. These drugs aren’t typically used to treat brain tumors because they normally can’t cross the blood-brain barrier.For this study, doctors surgically removed patients’ glioblastoma — the most...
