Have Type 2 Diabetes? Switching Daily Beverages Could Add Years to Your Life
THURSDAY, April 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Put down that sugary soda. It could be deadly, particularly if you have type 2 diabetes.A nearly two-decade-long study linked high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages -- soda, lemonade and fruit punch -- with premature death in people with type 2 diabetes. The link was found for both heart-related reasons and all causes. But other beverages -- specifically coffee, tea, low-fat milk and plain water -- helped lower the odds of early death.These findings point to the potential role of healthy drinks for folks with type 2 diabetes, the study concluded.“Beverages can be a source of sugar, but also could be an important source of other dietary constituents, so it is natural to hypothesize that the different beverages may really have different...
AHA News: Exercise Kept Her Family History of Heart...
20 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 20, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Jana Turner had always enjoyed a sense of control over her life. She never married or had children. Her career in commercial real estate remained her top priority, culminating in a rise to becoming a partner in her company.She also took control of her health. Because her parents and all four grandparents had died of heart disease, she stayed lean, ate a healthy diet and remained active. For decades, she regularly golfed, biked, hiked and lifted weights. She'd also been taking medication to control her cholesterol.In May 2020, Turner – then 65 – began experiencing chest pain while walking around her neighborhood. She sat on the curb for 15 minutes trying to catch her breath. She wondered if she was having a heart...
Could Better Access to Marijuana Be Linked to Rising...
20 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Suspected suicide attempts linked to marijuana overdoses have been steadily increasing over the past decade, a new study reports.National Poison Data System records show a 17% yearly increase in reports of suicidal people who have been poisoned by using too much cannabis, said co-researcher Tracy Klein, an associate professor of nursing at Washington State University College of Nursing, in Vancouver.Nearly 18,700 cases of suicidal behavior associated with cannabis poisoning were reported to U.S. poison centers between 2009 and 2021, according to the report published online April 19 in JAMA Network Open.Nearly all cases (96%) involved the use of cannabis along with another substance like alcohol, benzodiazepines or other drugs, the study...
Strep Infections Surged This Winter
20 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) – This past winter delivered a surge in strep infections, including more serious cases, a new analysis shows. After two years of very low levels of strep infections during the pandemic, the number of strep infections is now almost 30% higher than the most recent peak, which was in 2017, the report found.Still, “It is too early to definitively characterize this season since we are still in the middle of it,†the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told CNN. Epic Health Research Network, which conducted the analysis, said the spike in infections appeared to continue into early March, according to preliminary data from the electronic health records for more than 100 million people from thousands of clinics and hospitals.Among...
In the Cards: Simple Test Could Assess Risk of Dementia
20 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Is there a simple way to screen older folks for dementia risk years before there are any signs of memory loss or thinking impairment? Yes, researchers report.It’s a test called SOMI, short for Stages of Objective Memory Impairment.The process is straightforward. After being shown a series of images, patients who have no symptoms of dementia are asked to recall what they’ve seen, sometimes — if needed — with the help of clues.After grading memory skills, participants are then ranked according to five stages of risk. Stage 0 represents no current memory issues, and low future dementia risk. Stage 4 represents the least reliable memory, and the highest degree of future dementia risk.The new study indicates that those classified as...
Neighborhoods May Matter When It Comes to Epilepsy
20 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- For people with epilepsy, living in lower-income neighborhoods is associated with worse mental functioning, new research suggests.For the study, the researchers looked at the memory, thinking ability and mental health of people with epilepsy, and found differences based on where they lived. Brain-health issues were more common among those from disadvantaged areas with fewer educational and employment opportunities, according to a report published online April 19 in the journal Neurology.“Epilepsy research has arguably ignored the potential impact of the social determinants of health in neighborhoods on cognition — factors that have been hiding in plain sight for many years,†said study co-author Robyn Busch, of the Cleveland Clinic in...
Research Reveals Cause of Deadly Disease Affecting Native American Kids
20 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists say their new study has overturned settled science, finding a new cause for a metabolic disease that causes neurological damage and sometimes death in Native American children. The good news is that this may lead to better treatment for the condition. While people with the inherited condition Glutaric Aciduria Type I (GA-1) had been believed to be affected by toxic substances produced in the brain, researchers looked instead to the liver because other metabolic disorders had been shown to break down proteins in the liver and then cause brain damage. Treatments has included a strict, low-protein diet. That has shown limited success, and up to a third of children with the condition experience long-term neurological damage.In the new...
Intimate Relationships a Factor in 1 in 5 Suicides
20 April 2023
THURSDAY, April 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- One in five people who die by suicide experienced intimate partner problems that included divorce, separation, arguments and violence, new research shows.“I think people hear the term intimate partner problems and go straight to intimate partner violence. That is a component of intimate partner problems, but it’s not just about violence,†said study author Lt. Cmdr. Ayana Stanley, who began researching the issue while at the University of Georgia (UGA) College of Public Health.“Romantic partners experience other kinds of relationship stressors, such as general hostility, arguments and jealousy,†said Stanley, who is now a program coordinator in the division of violence prevention at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and...
