WEDNESDAY, April 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Summer is almost here, and its arrival brings opportunities for many people – including those who suffer with allergies and asthma — to plan vacations away from home.A recent article titled “Allergies don’t take a vacation†in Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology encourages those with allergies and asthma to consider their conditions and consult with their allergist before embarking on a vacation to ensure maximum good health and opportunities for enjoyment while away from home. Annals is the scientific journal of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.The article stressed that advance preparation for a vacation can ease the anxiety allergy and asthma patients sometimes face with the idea of being away from home...
Knee Replacement More Challenging in People With Sickle Cell
19 April 2023
WEDNESDAY, April 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While joint reconstruction surgeries are fairly common, they may be anything but routine for people with sickle cell disease.Patients with the blood disorder who undergo total knee replacement are at a higher risk for complications than other patients, according to a new large-scale study. “SCD patients undergoing total knee replacement need a multidisciplinary approach and may be better served in specialized centers capable of caring for these complex medical patients,†said study author Dr. Senthil Sambandam, an assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. “These patients have a higher risk of postoperative complications requiring the involvement of various specialists...
AHA News: What Is Commotio Cordis, Which NFL Player...
18 April 2023
TUESDAY, April 18, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Damar Hamlin has confirmed the cause of his near-fatal collapse on "Monday Night Football" as commotio cordis, a rare event caused by a blow to the chest."This event was life-changing, but it's not the end of my story," Hamlin said Tuesday.Hamlin, 25, a safety for the Buffalo Bills, spoke at a news conference after working out with the team. Earlier, general manager Brandon Beane said that multiple specialists had seen Hamlin and that he had been "fully cleared" to return to football."I got a long journey to go, but I'm committed to it each day, day in day out," Hamlin said. "So I thank everybody for being on this journey with me."Hamlin's collapse after being hit in the chest while making a tackle on Jan. 2 left millions...
Study Offers Best Evidence Yet That Intervening Early...
18 April 2023
TUESDAY, April 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A leading doctors' group recommends that toddlers get screening for autism at 18 months old. That may not be a moment too soon — and earlier may be even better, researchers say.A new randomized clinical trial, the gold standard for studies, backs up the recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Intervention at 18 months for children on the autism spectrum led to better gains in language, social communication and daily living skills than when individual coaching was delayed until 27 months old, the researchers found.“The rationale behind this was to add more robust evidence to this notion we’ve long had, that earlier is better when it comes to intervention for autistic kids, but because these trials can be challenging to do...
Oakland's Soda Tax Cut Local Sales by 27%
18 April 2023
TUESDAY, April 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Could taxing soda cut down on the consumption of sugary drinks?That's exactly what happened when a local “soda tax†was launched in Oakland, Calif., according to researchers from the University of California, San Francisco.Purchases of sugar-sweetened beverages dropped nearly 27% between July 2017 and December 2019, after the one-cent-per-ounce tax began.“These results suggest SSB [sugar-sweetened beverage] taxes can meaningfully improve diet and health and generate substantial cost savings over a sustained period of time, all of which support the case for a national tax on SSBs,†said senior study author Dr. Dean Schillinger, a UCSF professor of medicine and a co-chair of the National Clinical Care Commission (NCCC), formed by...

AHA News: On a Snowy Day, the Warmth of a Stranger Kept One Man Alive
18 April 2023
TUESDAY, April 18, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- In the early months of 2021, heavy snow blanketed the city of Philadelphia.Justin Stroh and his wife, Bess, both in their 60s, had been taking turns shoveling the snow in front of their suburban home. On a Monday in February, the snow was falling fast and hard, dumping 1 to 2 inches an hour before mixing with rain. The combination made it too heavy to clear. The Strohs considered taking a long walk with Michael, their Labrador mix, but decided it was too slick to walk safely.Bess settled in to work in a back bedroom, where she'd created a makeshift office during the pandemic. But Justin suddenly decided he needed to tackle the sidewalk. He stepped out without telling his wife. He doesn't know why, because he has no memory of...
Disconnecting From Work in Off-Hours Can Make You a Better Manager
18 April 2023
TUESDAY, April 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Striking a better work-life balance might make you a more effective manager on the job, according to a new study.A survey of managers and their employees found that bosses who could shut off after-work emails, calls and job-related stress had greater success guiding underlings to meet work goals.“We found that when leaders psychologically detached from work when at home -- they did not actively think about work-related issues, but instead engaged in activities that allowed them to disconnect and recharge -- they felt more energized the next day at work, in ways that made them more effective as rated by their direct reports,†said study lead author Klodiana Lanaj.Managers who were best able to distinguish between their work life and their...
