About 1 in 4 People on Autism Spectrum Has 'Profound' Autism
WEDNESDAY, April 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While mild cases make up the majority of autism diagnoses, "profound" autism affects about 27% of American children with the developmental disability, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Wednesday.This is the first time the CDC has broken down that definition statistically.Children with profound autism are nonverbal, minimally verbal or have an IQ of less than 50, according to the report.“People with profound autism consistently experience unique, devastating and often unseen challenges that require immediate solutions, not only for them, but for their caregivers,†said Judith Ursitti, co-founder and president of the Profound Autism Alliance.“The continuing recognition of profound autism will open the doors...
Vaping Might Make Smoking Habit More Likely in Teens
19 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Young teens who vape and smoke cigarettes may be setting themselves up to be heavy smokers by the time they are older teens, a new study suggests. The researchers chalked it up to what they called the "entrenchment hypothesis.""There has been a lot of attention on restricting e-cigarettes, so that they do not serve as a pathway into tobacco initiation," said senior study author Jeremy Staff, a professor of sociology and criminology at Pennsylvania State University. "Our findings highlight that considering their impacts on youth who initiate smoking at an early age remains important as well."Staff said, "Among early-smoking teens in both the U.K. and U.S., those who had vaped before age 15 were more likely to be smokers, as well as frequent...
In Some U.S. Schools, 1 in 4 Kids Said They've Misused...
19 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. schools that have a lot of students with prescriptions for ADHD medication also tend to have a lot of students who misuse the drugs, a new study suggests.Researchers found that among nearly 3,300 U.S. middle schools and high schools, some had a serious problem with students misusing prescription stimulant medications. At certain schools, upwards of one-quarter of students said they'd misused the drugs in the past year.And the problem loomed larger at schools where a high percentage of students had legitimate stimulant prescriptions -- a sign some of those kids are sharing the drugs with their peers.At issue are the medications most commonly used to treat ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, including well-known brand...
Science Untangles Secrets of Graying Hair
19 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Folks develop gray hair as they age because color-producing stem cells become “stuck†and disabled in the hair follicle, new animal research contends.Hair color is controlled by melanocyte stem cells (McSCs), which as they mature produce the protein pigments that turn people into brunettes, blondes and redheads.During normal hair growth, these cells are continually on the move, transitioning back and forth between different growth compartments in the follicle, researchers noted.This ability to move back and forth is unique to the color-producing stem cells, they said.For example, the stem cells that create the hair follicle itself are known to move in only one direction along an established timeline as they mature. This helps explain in...
Easing A-Fib With Ablation Therapy Might Also Benefit the Brain
19 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- For people with the abnormal heartbeat atrial fibrillation, a procedure called catheter ablation may do more than return the heart to its normal rhythm. It may also ward off mental decline and dementia linked to A-fib, a new study says.Researchers found that people who receive catheter ablation in addition to medical management for A-fib may be almost 40% less likely to develop cognitive impairment than those treated with drugs alone."Atrial fibrillation itself likely leads to changes in cerebral blood flow, which may be detrimental to the overall health of the brain and can lead to adverse outcomes, in this case, cognitive decline," said lead researcher Dr. Bahadar Srichawla, from the neurology department at the University of Massachusetts...

19 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 19, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Growing up in Chicago, Melissa RodrÃguez Mendoza initially had designs on working in the fashion industry.

Is It Time to End Universal Masking in Hospitals, Clinics? Many Experts Think So
19 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Health care facilities remain one of the last places left in the United States with COVID-era mask requirements still in effect.It’s time for that to end, experts say.A prestigious collection of infection disease experts and epidemiologists say universal masking requirements in health care settings should be lifted, according to a commentary they published April 18 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.COVID has reached the point where it should be managed in a way similar to how other respiratory viruses are handled in hospitals, doctor’s offices and long-term care facilities, the editorial argues.“We're in a very different stage of the pandemic, a more stable phase,†said lead author Dr. Erica Shenoy, medical director for infection...
Do You Live in One of America's Worst Cities for Dirty Air?
19 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Nearly one-third of Americans live in counties with unhealthy air, according to a new report from the American Lung Association. One in three, or 120 million, people lives with unhealthy levels of ozone or particle pollution, the “State of the Air†report says.While air quality has improved overall, there are major differences between Eastern and Western states and in air pollution exposure for white people and people of color, according to the association. “The good news is that ozone pollution has generally improved across the nation, thanks in large part to the success of the Clean Air Act. In this year’s ‘State of the Air’ report, we found that 19.3 million fewer people are living in areas with unhealthy levels of ozone...
