Dog-Walking Downside: Fractures, Head Injuries
THURSDAY, April 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Walking your dog gets you moving and out in the fresh air, but head injuries and fractures are very real possibilities, especially for older dog owners, researchers say.The most common injury from walking a leashed dog that sends folks to the ER is fractured fingers, a new study from Johns Hopkins University found. But traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are the second-most common injury adults suffer while walking a leashed dog. The third most common injury is shoulder sprain or strain.“According to a 2021-2022 national pet ownership survey, nearly 53% of U.S. households own at least one dog,†said study co-author Ridge Maxson, a third-year medical student.“Dog ownership also increased significantly in recent years during the COVID-19...
FDA Approves First Pill for Fecal Transplant Therapy
27 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved the first pill form of fecal microbiota -- similar to what's known as fecal transplant therapy -- to treat the bacterial infection Clostridioides difficile, one of the most common and deadly infections found in health care settings.The drug, Vowst, is approved to prevent recurrence of C. difficile in people who have already had standard antibacterial treatment for recurrent infection. It contains live gut bacteria from stool samples donated by healthy people.“Today’s approval provides patients and healthcare providers a new way to help prevent recurrent C. difficile infection,†said Dr. Peter Marks, of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, in a news...
How Junk Food Ads Play on Your Emotions
27 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Those TV ads for juicy burgers may trigger your emotions, making you believe you’ll be happier if you run out and get one for yourself.Unfortunately, a similar ad for salad does not appear to have the same emotional impact, according to new research from the University of Michigan."Many people think that eating highly processed foods like cheeseburgers and french fries will make them happier, and these beliefs are especially strong in people struggling to control their intake of highly processed foods," said study author Jenna Cummings, a former University of Michigan research fellow. "Regulating fast-food advertisements and changing beliefs about how highly processed foods affect emotions could help people eat more nutritious foods," she...
Pregnancy May Be Riskier for Women With Lupus
27 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Pregnant women with lupus face potential complications, including a greater risk of premature birth, according to a new U.S. study.A 10-year audit of hospital records found that these women have more than twice the risk of giving birth to a baby who is premature or growth-restricted. The audit also found that blood transfusions are nearly four times more likely for moms-to-be with lupus, also known as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Moreover, they are 15 times more likely to develop kidney failure during delivery as mothers who don’t have lupus, according to the report published online April 25 in RMD Open.“Despite extensive efforts over the years, there remains substantial risk for both maternal and fetal complications,†the...
Midday Naps & Health: How Long You Nap May Be Key
27 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- If you're longing for a nap, try to keep it short. Researchers found that siestas of 30 minutes or more in Murcia, a region of Spain, where it’s common to nap, were linked to a higher risk of obesity, a group of conditions called metabolic syndrome and high blood pressure. “Not all siestas are the same. The length of time, position of sleep and other specific factors can affect the health outcomes of a nap,†said study co-author Marta Garaulet, a visiting professor in the division of sleep and circadian disorders at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.“A previous study that we conducted in a large study population in the U.K. had found that siestas were associated with an increased risk of obesity,†Garaulet said in a hospital...
New Form of Levodopa Might Improve Parkinson's Care
26 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- An extended-release version of a Parkinson’s disease drug could provide more stable relief for patients with the movement disorder, new clinical trial data show.The new formulation of levodopa, called IPX203, extended the duration of patients’ “on time" — the amount of time the medication is working and symptoms are lessened, researchers reported this week at the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting, in Boston.Three oral doses of IPX203 a day worked slightly better than five doses of standard levodopa, with patients’ “on time†running about a half-hour longer, said lead researcher Dr. Alberto Espay, chair of the University of Cincinnati’s department of neurology and rehabilitation medicine.If approved, Espay...
Discrimination at Work Could Raise Blood Pressure
26 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Dealing with discrimination at work -- from bosses or coworkers -- may be enough to send your blood pressure through the roof, a new study suggests. Researchers found that among more than 1,200 U.S. workers, those who felt they often faced on-the-job discrimination were 54% more likely to develop high blood pressure, versus workers with little exposure to such bias.Over eight years, people who'd often experienced workplace discrimination developed high blood pressure at a rate of about 4% each year. That compared with 2.5% per year among people who rarely or never had those experiences.Experts said the study, published April 26 in the Journal of the American Heart Association, cannot prove cause and effect."But our findings suggest...
In an Aging America, a Looming Shortage of Home Health Care Workers
26 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Over the last decade, an aging American population has increasingly turned away from nursing homes in favor of trained caregivers who can provide critical help in the home with basic daily tasks.But a new investigation warns the need for at-home care has vastly outpaced a much smaller growth in the pool of home care workers.The result: between 2013 and 2019, the number of available home care workers for every 100 patients in need has fallen by nearly 12%.The resulting caregiver gap is putting vulnerable patients in a very precarious position, the researchers said.“We know that the number of people who want to receive long-term care at home has been growing over time, which is in part because the U.S. population is getting older,â€...
