Opioid Addiction Treatment Rates in U.S. Have Flatlined, Study Finds
FRIDAY, April 28, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. opioid crisis led to changes that make it easier for people struggling with addiction to get medication from a health care provider to help them quit.But researchers found that for some reason, rates of medication use haven't budged.Numbers of Americans who started buprenorphine were flat between 2019 and 2022, after rising from January 2016 to September 2018.Those who stayed on the medication for at least six months hovered around 20% from 2016 to 2022. Staying on the medication for longer is associated with reduced risk of opioid overdose death.Researchers from the University of Michigan and Boston University used national prescription dispensing data to study medication trends.The changes that could have increased buprenorphine use...
Drinking & Driving in the Senior Years: A Recipe for...
28 April 2023
FRIDAY, April 28, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Older drivers using alcohol or drugs are much more likely to be at fault in a car crash.Researchers studying the issue say that calls for sober-driving campaigns aimed at seniors."Our research shows just how much aging increases the risk of being at fault for injury or fatality in a drug- or alcohol-related traffic accident," said lead author Dr. Satish Kedia. He's a professor in the division of social and behavioral sciences at the University of Memphis School of Public Health in Tennessee.His team's analysis of nine years of U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data revealed that substance use in older drivers increased the likelihood of being at fault in a crash by two to four times.The researchers looked at alcohol,...
Could Hair Relaxers Affect a Woman's Fertility?
28 April 2023
FRIDAY, April 28, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Hair relaxers may slightly affect fertility, a factor most likely to impact women who are Black or Hispanic, according to a new study.Research led by Boston University School of Public Health found that these chemical hair straighteners may affect a person’s ability to become pregnant. This builds on growing evidence about the effects on reproductive health of chemicals found in beauty products.“Our work underscores the importance of expanding research on the reproductive health effects of beauty product use to promote environmental justice and increase health equity,†said lead author Lauren Wise, a professor of epidemiology. She spoke in a university news release.Black and Hispanic individuals are more likely than people from other...
Many American Teens Are in Mental Health Crisis: Report
27 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- America's teens are still not alright.Instead, many continue to engage in risky behaviors, U.S. health officials reported Thursday.Top among these is an increase in suicidal thoughts and suicide planning and attempts among teen girls, according to a new study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, rates among teen boys stayed stable.Meanwhile, LGBQ+ students had particularly high increases in suicidal thoughts and behavior when compared with heterosexual students, and the same went for minorities when compared with white students, the researchers found. "The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated mental health issues amongst children and teenagers," said Dr. Scott Krakower, an adolescent psychiatrist at Zucker Hillside...
Each Year Spent Working With Certain Chemicals Raises Risk of Pancreatic Cancer
27 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Jobs that regularly expose you to certain chemicals appear to steadily increase your risk of pancreatic cancer, a new analysis reports.People with more than 20 years of exposure to some chemical agents had a 39% increased risk of pancreatic cancer, compared with an 11% higher risk for 11 to 20 years’ exposure and a 4% higher risk for 1 to 10 years’ exposure, researchers found.“Our findings revealed that the risk of pancreatic cancer increases significantly for each additional year of exposure among workers exposed to these chemicals,†said study author Ro-Ting Lin, an associate professor of occupational safety and health at China Medical University in Taiwan.The analysis evaluated 12 industrial chemicals and found that five...
Why People Love Selfies: It's Not About Vanity
27 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Selfie shots might seem shallow but they’re actually serving a deeper psychological purpose, a new study suggests.So-called "third-person" photos -- shots taken to include the photographer, such as selfies or group shots -- are better at depicting the deeper meaning of an event in a person’s life, by showing them actively participating in that moment, according to researchers.On the other hand, "first-person" photos -- the photographer's eye view of a scene -- best represent the physical experience of an event, the authors explained.These results counter the view that people post selfies on sites like Instagram just to promote themselves, said study co-author Lisa Libby, professor of psychology at Ohio State University.“These photos...
U.S. Smoking Rate Hits All-Time Low
27 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Fewer U.S. adults are smoking cigarettes, as rates dropped again last year, according to federal health officials.In all, 1 in 9 American adults smoked cigarettes last year, an all-time low, and a significant change from the 1960s when 42% smoked.The results weren’t all positive, the Associated Press reported, as vaping rose to about 1 in 17 adults. For 2022, use of electronic cigarettes was about 6% compared to 4.5% the year before.These preliminary findings are from a survey of more than 27,000 adults by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The findings are sometimes revised after further analysis.“I think that smoking will continue to ebb downwards, but whether the prevalence of nicotine addiction will drop, given the...
Injected Diabetes Med Can Also Bring Big Weight Loss, Study Finds
27 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- As more Americans try to get their hands on the prescription medication Wegovy while they try to shed significant amounts of weight, an even more powerful obesity drug is poised to enter the fray.On Thursday, drug maker Eli Lilly & Co. announced that its type 2 diabetes drug tirzepatide (Mounjaro) helped people with diabetes who were overweight or obese lose nearly 16% of their body weight, or more than 34 pounds, over 17 months.This late-stage study of the drug adds to earlier evidence published last summer in the New England Journal of Medicine that showed overweight or obese people without diabetes lost up to 22% of their body weight over that period with weekly injections of the drug. For a typical patient on the highest dose, that meant...
