How to Relieve a Stress Headache
WEDNESDAY, April 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- You had a rough day at work and got stuck in traffic on the way home, and suddenly your head starts pounding. Stress headaches can be debilitating in the moment, but you don’t have to suffer indefinitely. If you're struggling with stress, you're not alone. More than one-quarter of adults in the United States reported they're too stressed out to function, according to a recent survey from the American Psychological Association.Can stress cause headaches? Yes, in fact the most common type of primary headache is a tension headache, also referred to as a muscle tension headache or stress headache, according to Harvard Health. Tension headaches may be episodic, meaning that they occur less than 15 days a month; if they occur more than 15 days...
In Mouse Study, New Gel Therapy Stops Dangerous Brain Tumors
25 April 2023
TUESDAY, April 25, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A gel applied directly into the brain could offer new hope for patients diagnosed with glioblastoma, the most common malignant brain tumor in adults.The gel cured 100% of lab mice with glioblastoma when it was applied to the tumor cavity following surgery to remove the cancer, said senior researcher Honggang Cui, an associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering with Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.The gel provides a workaround to some special challenges inherent in the treatment of brain cancer. The blood-brain barrier hampers the ability of cancer drugs to get into the brain, and immune response to brain tumors tends to be blunted, the researchers noted.Surgical removal of tumors is the standard of care for glioblastoma,...
Supplements Can Contain Far More Melatonin Than Is Safe,...
25 April 2023
TUESDAY, April 25, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When U.S. health officials reported a 500% spike in the number of poison center calls involving kids eating melatonin gummies last year, Harvard researchers decided to take a closer look at the sleep supplements and discovered a disturbing fact: They contained up to 347% more melatonin than the label stated. What's more, five of the products also contained CBD in higher amounts than the label indicated.And the mislabeling was more common than one might think: The scientists found that across the 25 brands of melatonin gummies they tested, 22 were wrongly labeled. One product did not contain melatonin at all, but the much more common problem was excessive amounts.It's not clear what, if any, health consequences that could have for people who...
Could Ear, Nose & Throat Issues Play a Role in Autism?
25 April 2023
TUESDAY, April 25, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers have long tried to pinpoint a reason that some people have autism or autistic traits.A new study from the United Kingdom builds upon evidence about one potential factor, finding that young children with ear, nose and throat problems were more commonly diagnosed with autism later.This isn’t to say that all young kids who have ear infections will eventually be diagnosed with autism. It also doesn’t mean that all people with autism had these upper respiratory infections as a young child.But this could be part of a long list of potential reasons, working together in various combinations, according to investigators at the University of Bristol and Aston University in England.“Clearly by themselves, ear infections or these chronic...
AHA News: Long COVID in Children Still Poses Plenty of Questions
25 April 2023
TUESDAY, April 25, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- In the constantly unfolding tale of the pandemic, long COVID – the persistent effects that can follow a SARS-CoV-2 infection – is among the more challenging twists, one that researchers are just beginning to grasp in adults.And in children, it might be a whole other story."It's a very difficult collection of symptoms, without a clear single treatment," said Dr. Sarah de Ferranti, a pediatric cardiologist at Boston Children's Hospital. "I think it's particularly difficult for parents to help their children with this, because it's hard to figure out what symptoms are related to COVID versus other illnesses, and because long COVID in kids is different from long COVID in adults."Questions abound about long COVID's causes and...
New Treatment Could Be Safer Way to Fight Brain Tumors in Kids
25 April 2023
TUESDAY, April 25, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Each year, about 140 kids in the United States are diagnosed with a craniopharyngioma, a typically non-cancerous brain tumor that develops near the pituitary gland at the base of the brain.Doctors treat craniopharyngiomas with surgery to remove the entire tumor or a less aggressive surgery followed by radiation to kill any remaining cells.Now, a new study suggests that using proton therapy, a more targeted form of radiation, after surgery may stave off potential learning issues in the future — without compromising the already high survival rates seen in kids with these tumors.“Proton radiotherapy reduces exposure of normal brain tissue in children treated for brain tumors,†said study author Heather Conklin, chief of the neuropsychology...
Lots of Older Americans Would Like to Take Fewer Meds, Poll Finds
25 April 2023
TUESDAY, April 25, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new study finds that Americans over 50 are interested in cutting back on prescription medications, dovetailing with a movement toward “deprescribing.â€About 67% said they would seek their doctor’s advice before dropping a pill, according to Michigan Medicine’s National Poll on Healthy Aging.Yet more than one-third of older adults said they had quit taking a medication they had been using for more than a year without talking first to a doctor, pharmacist or nurse practitioner.“Deprescribing, which can include prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements, should be based on dialogue between patients and providers, and sometimes family members,†said Sarah Vordenberg, a clinical associate professor...
RSV in Infancy Could Raise a Child's Risk for Asthma
25 April 2023
TUESDAY, April 25, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Kids who were infected with respiratory syncytial virus, better known as RSV, in their first year may be at greater risk for asthma, according to researchers.Their new study looked at the effects of RSV infections of different severities on childhood asthma risk.“For 60 years investigators have repeatedly identified the link between severe RSV and asthma; however, we’ve shown that this link is explained in part by shared heredity to both severe RSV and asthma,†said senior author Dr. Tina Hartert, director of the Center for Asthma and Environmental Sciences Research at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. “The solution in our study was to understand the link between RSV and asthma by ensuring all RSV infections would be captured...
