'Long Road Back': He Struggles With a Lung Condition Years After Severe COVID
MONDAY, May 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Hito Bazan never knew how much he’d appreciate every breath he takes until one day he couldn’t do it.The Houston police officer awoke one morning not able to eat, walk, talk or even breathe after three months in the hospital with COVID-19 and double pneumonia.That was back in 2020, and the now-retired Bazan was soon diagnosed with an interstitial lung disease (ILD) known as pulmonary fibrosis (PF).“Two years ago, the quote ‘breathing is the greatest pleasure in life’ wouldn’t have meant much to me. Today, it means everything,†Bazan said. “With each breath, I’m determined not to let this disease keep me down. I'm going to continue living my life the best I can."When COVID was new, it wasn’t known exactly where it would lead in...
Scientists Spot New Potential Risk Factor for Breast Cancer
1 May 2023
MONDAY, May 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new study has uncovered a possible risk factor for breast cancer that could help doctors more accurately weigh a woman's chances of developing the disease.While it’s known that women with dense breast tissue have a greater risk for developing breast cancer and that breast density declines with age, researchers have now found evidence of cancer risk specific to breast density declining unevenly.Among the findings were that when one breast had a slower decline in density, cancer was more likely to be found in that breast, the study found.“I hope they can get this into clinical use as soon as possible -- it will make a huge difference,†study author Shu Jiang, an associate professor of public health sciences at Washington University in St....
Struggles With COVID Left Many Americans With Medical Debt
1 May 2023
MONDAY, May 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While COVID-19’s toll on health and wellness has been obvious, the virus has also hit people in the wallet.A new study links surviving COVID to financial challenges later, especially for folks who were hospitalized with the virus.“More than half of Americans now report having had COVID-19, and more than 450,000 have been hospitalized, so the potential number experiencing serious financial issues linked to their experience with the virus is high,†said Dr. Nora Becker of the University of Michigan Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation, in Ann Arbor.Compared to people whose financial health was measured before the virus, those who had COVID-19 were more likely to have bills so overdue that they were sent to a collection agency. They...
ChatGPT Rated as Better Than Real Doctors for Empathy,...
28 April 2023
FRIDAY, April 28, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Only five months have passed since the world got its first taste of the ground-breaking artificial intelligence (AI) tool known as ChatGPT.Promising a brave new world of human-machine connectivity, AI demonstrates near-instantaneous access to in-depth information on almost any subject, all in full conversational sentences, often delivered in a human-sounding voice.A new study says health care may never be the same.That’s the broad takeaway of groundbreaking research that tackled a potentially existential question: When it comes to providing patients with high-quality medical information — and delivering it with compassion and understanding — who does it better: ChatGPT or your doctor?The answer: ChatGPT, by a mile.In fact, after...
Gut Microbiome Changes Throughout the Day and With the Seasons
28 April 2023
FRIDAY, April 28, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Half of the cells in your body aren’t human — and a new study suggests that many critical to your health oscillate by the hour, day and even the season.The human body contains about 40 trillion bacteria, viruses and fungi, creating a microbiome that roughly matches the number of human cells one-to-one, said researcher Dr. Amir Zarrinpar, an assistant professor of gastroenterology at the University of California, San Diego.His team has discovered that the microbes of the gut microbiome are constantly changing throughout the day, and even change with the seasons, Zarrinpar said.“These findings offer important insights into the role of the changing gut microbiome in health and disease,†Zarrinpar said during a media briefing on the...
AHA News: Hispanic People – Especially Men – Are Less Likely to See a Doctor, and the Reasons Can Be Complex
28 April 2023
FRIDAY, April 28, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Language barriers, cultural differences and systemic health inequities are among the reasons many Latino people, particularly men, avoid doctor visits – and that could lead to dire outcomes, experts warn.Studies have suggested that of all racial and ethnic groups in the United States, Hispanic people are least likely to seek medical care for an illness. In a 2022 Pew Research Center survey, Hispanic adults were less likely than all U.S. adults to say they had seen a health care professional within the previous year."Foregoing needed medical care when needed or not having access to preventive medicine can have disastrous consequences in health, even in the short term," said Dr. César Caraballo Cordovez, a postdoctoral...
AHA News: Es menos probable que la gente hispana, especialmente los hombres, consulten a un médico. Los motivos pueden ser complejos.
28 April 2023
VIERNES, 28 de abril de 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Las barreras del idioma, las diferencias culturales y las desigualdades sistémicas en la salud son algunos de los motivos por los cuales muchas personas latinas, en particular los hombres, evitan las consultas médicas, algo que puede traer resultados funestos, advierten los expertos.Los estudios han sugerido que, entre todos los grupos raciales y étnicos en Estados Unidos, los hispanos son los que tienen menos probabilidades de buscar atención médica para una enfermedad. Una encuesta del 2022 del Pew Research Center encontró que era menos probable que los adultos hispanos, en comparación con los otros adultos de Estados Unidos, dijeran que habÃan consultado a un profesional médico en el transcurso del año...
CDC Reports No New Mpox Cases in Over a Week for First Time Since Outbreak Began
28 April 2023
FRIDAY, April 28, 2023 (HealthDay News) – For the first time since the mpox outbreak began last spring, no new cases have been reported in more than a week, fresh government data shows.At the peak of the outbreak, there were 500 new infections reported daily, but by late last year that number was 16, CDC statistics show.While the Biden administration ended the public health emergency for the virus that was previously called monkeypox late last year, it’s not clear how much time is required with zero cases to declare the outbreak over, CBS News reported.And a resurgence is still possible, public health officials have warned."If mpox reintroduction occurs and no additional vaccination or sexual behavior adaptations occur, the risk of a resurgent mpox outbreak is greater than 35% in...
