Concussion's Effect on Brain Can Last 6 Months or More
26 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A significant number of patients take far longer to recover from a concussion than expected, and they may not be getting the care they need, according to a new study.Researchers from the United Kingdom who studied concussion patients found that almost half had changes in how regions of the brain communicate with each other. This may cause long-term symptoms, including fatigue, and impaired thinking and memory.Mild traumatic brain injury can happen in a fall, a sports incident, or from a cycling accident or car crash.Although called "mild," it is commonly linked with persistent symptoms including depression, cognitive impairment, headaches and fatigue, as well as incomplete recovery.The researchers said only about half of people who suffer a...
What Is Meth Mouth? Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
26 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Methamphetamine is a highly addictive stimulant that has been around for a long time, creating multiple health issues for users.But there is another downside to this drug: It can ravage the dental health of users.Meth was first used during World War II by both sides, to increase the focus and energy of soldiers. However, in the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, amphetamines were classified as Schedule II drugs, meaning they could only be used for medical reasons, since they have such a high risk of abuse and addiction.In the past few decades, there has been an explosion in the abuse of this man-made substance.According to the Pew Trust, “The use of the stimulant methamphetamine, as well as related overdose deaths and arrests, rose...
Can't Find a Way to Your Doctor's Office? It Could Shorten Your Life
26 April 2023

When it delays getting care, it also ups the risk of emergency room use and death in adults, new research shows.This is especially risky for cancer patients.“Transportation barriers prevent many patients with cancer from accessing timely and effective care. Lack of reliable and affordable transportation can lead to missed appointments, delayed diagnoses, treatment interruptions, and incomplete follow-up care,†said study author Xuesong Han, scientific director of health services research at the American Cancer Society. “These factors can worsen the prognosis and quality of life of cancer survivors, as well as increase the costs and burdens on the health care system,†she said in a society...
Tight Control of High Blood Pressure Brings Big Brain Benefits
26 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Maintaining tight control of your blood pressure could help your brain, potentially reducing your risk of stroke, a new study says.When blood pressure was intensively managed in adults over age 50, patients had fewer lesions in the brain’s white matter, according to researchers. Having this consistently controlled blood pressure significantly reduced the risk of stroke, they found.“Our study demonstrates that lowering systolic blood pressure to below 120 mm Hg is more effective in preserving brain health compared to standard treatment goals,†study co-author Mohamad Habes said in a news release from University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. He is an assistant professor of radiology there and director of the...
FDA Approves Drug for Rare Form of ALS
26 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday approved a new drug for people who have a rare, inherited type of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.The medication, toferson (Qalsody), targets a mutation in the SOD1-ALS gene. ALS attacks and kills nerve cells that control voluntary muscles. With ALS, patients lose nerve cells that affect chewing, walking, breathing and talking. The muscles weaken, and that leads to paralysis.The newly approved medication is made by the company Biogen, which is based in Cambridge, Mass.The FDA approved the drug based on evidence of a reduction in plasma neurofilament light, a blood-based biomarker of nerve injury and neurodegeneration. It did not show that the drug...
