Surviving a Heart Attack in Younger Years Could Be Even Tougher on Women
TUESDAY, May 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Women who have a heart attack at a younger age tend to have worse outcomes and are more likely to return to the hospital than their male counterparts.More significant underlying risk factors could be why, according to new research.Researchers called for greater public awareness around heart attacks in young women, including the unique symptoms they experience and the care they need. Their findings were published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.“This all begins with public awareness towards preventing heart attacks and screening programs to detect traditional risk factors before a patient has a heart attack. Many people think heart attacks only occur in middle-aged or older men, which is not true,†said lead author Dr....
Apetamin: Using This Illegal Weight-Gain Product Can...
2 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. regulators are urging Americans to avoid Apetamin, an illegal drug used for weight gain and figure enhancement. The substance, typically sold as a syrup, is manufactured overseas, illegally imported and isn't approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.It contains a potent antihistamine called cyproheptadine, which requires a physician’s prescription in the United States. American consumers may find Apetamin online, on social media or in some retail stores, but they should not use it, the FDA warned in an agency news release.Among its dangerous side effects are potential overdose, sedation, cognitive impairment, dizziness, low blood pressure, disorientation and confusion, hallucinations, convulsions, and decreased breath and heart...
An Overlooked Issue: Prostate Cancer in Transgender Women
2 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Transgender women have a risk of prostate cancer, even after gender-affirming surgeries, yet aren’t “on the radar†for screening by clinicians, new research finds."The entire medical literature on prostate cancer in transgender women, prior to this study, consisted of 10 case reports, leading some to believe it was rare. But this paper shows it isn’t as rare as those case reports suggest," said Dr. Stephen Freedland, associate director for training and education at Cedars-Sinai Cancer Institute in Los Angeles. "Transgender women, no matter what gender-affirming surgeries they may or may not have had, have prostates and are at risk of prostate cancer," he said in a hospital news release.Freedland’s research report details the first...
Taking Longer to Perform Tasks? It Could Be a Sign of...
2 May 2023
TUESDAY, May 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It’s expected that seniors slow down physically as they age, but this could be a sign of more than just lost muscle strength, a new study suggests. In some, it may be a harbinger of dementia.Australian researchers said the findings may help health professionals to identify dementia risk in patients earlier.“Both grip strength and TUG tests [for balance and mobility] aren’t commonly performed in clinical practice, but both are inexpensive and simple screening tools,†said senior researcher Marc Sim, from Edith Cowan University in Australia.“Incorporating muscle function tests as part of dementia screening could be useful to identify high-risk individuals, who might then benefit from primary prevention programs aimed at preventing the...
Mind-Reading Technology Can Turn Brain Scans Into Language
1 May 2023
MONDAY, May 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A mind-reading device seems like science fiction, but researchers say they’re firmly on the path to building one.Using functional MRI (fMRI), a newly developed brain-computer interface can read a person’s thoughts and translate them into full sentences, according to a report published May 1 in Nature Neuroscience.The decoder was developed to read a person’s brain activity and translate what they want to say into continuous, natural language, the researchers said.“Eventually, we hope that this technology can help people who have lost the ability to speak due to injuries like strokes or diseases like ALS,†said lead study author Jerry Tang, a graduate research assistant at the University of Texas at Austin.But the interface goes even...
Which Kids Face the Highest Risk of Self-Harm?
1 May 2023
MONDAY, May 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Growing numbers of American kids and teens are cutting or burning themselves, banging their heads against walls, pulling out their hair and even trying to die by suicide.But figuring out who is at highest risk for harming themselves has been a daunting challenge. Until now. Researchers report they have developed risk profiles that can help doctors pinpoint which kids or teens are in the most danger."The U.S. is in the midst of a mental health crisis, with mental health diagnoses and hospitalizations surging over the past few years, and many of these hospitalizations are for self-harm events or concern for future self-harm," said study author Dr. James Antoon, an assistant professor of pediatrics and hospital medicine at Monroe Carell Jr....
One-Time Endoscopic Treatment Might Replace Insulin for People With Type 2 Diabetes
1 May 2023
MONDAY, May 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Could a one-hour procedure that involves zapping a part of the intestines mean no more insulin for millions of folks with type 2 diabetes?Maybe, according to a small study scheduled for presentation next week at the Digestive Disease Week meeting in Chicago. The new minimally invasive procedure used controlled electrical pulses to change the lining of the first part of the small intestine (the duodenum). This improved blood sugar control and eliminated the need for insulin for at least one year among people with type 2 diabetes, the researchers said. People with type 2 diabetes don’t use the insulin in their body properly, and as a result, their blood sugar, or glucose, can build up. Some of these patients will need to take synthetic insulin to...
AHA News: A Stroke at 30 Sapped an Elementary School Teacher's Joy. Then She Reclaimed It.
1 May 2023
MONDAY, May 1, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Elementary school teacher Rachel Henry had been having monster headaches for a few weeks. She complained about them to colleagues, family, even the school nurse. No one seemed concerned about the 30-year-old. Henry, who lives in Worcester, Massachusetts, assumed they would pass.At a routine checkup for a thyroid condition, Henry was checked in by a nurse. When the nurse and doctor returned a few minutes later, they found Henry slumped over. The left side of her body was paralyzed. She could not swallow.The doctor assumed Henry was having a stroke and called 911. At the hospital, doctors said an artery in her brain stem had burst and she had a hemorrhagic stroke. Doctors thought it might have been related to a neck injury she'd...
