When Kids Lose a Parent, New Therapy Might Prevent Long-Term Mental Harm
WEDNESDAY, March 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The death of a parent is heartbreaking for a child or teenager, and those who experience it are known to be at an increased risk for depression and other mental health issues later in life.But a new study finds that children who participated in a bereavement program with their families following the loss of a parent were significantly less likely to experience depression up to 15 years later.Soon, the program will be available online.Study author Irwin Sandler, an emeritus professor with Arizona State University affiliated with the ASU REACH Institute in the Department of Psychology, said he and the other researchers had a theory about whether they could prevent depression in children after parent loss with the program.“It turns out we...
Dealing With Caregiver Stress & Burnout: A Guide
22 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- If you’ve been suffering from caregiver stress, you've got plenty of company. It affects about 36% of the 53 million unpaid family caregivers in the United States, according to a recent report by the AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving -- and it can ultimately lead to caregiver burnout.To give you some tools to better recognize caregiver stress and burnout, let’s explore some of the symptoms. Plus, experts offer several ways you can better manage caregiver stress, and when it’s time to seek help to prevent it from reaching the level of burnout.What is caregiver stress?Caregiver stress occurs when the emotional, mental and physical impacts of being a caregiver become overwhelming. It can happen to anyone who takes care of a...
'Muted' Immune Response May Explain Why COVID Is Tougher...
22 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Obesity is a well-known risk factor for severe COVID-19, and researchers think they’ve uncovered a possible reason why.Obese folks appear to have a blunted inflammatory response to COVID, leaving their immune systems less capable of fighting it, according to a recent study.The findings were a surprise to researchers, given that severe COVID often has been tied to an overactive immune response that produces damaging levels of inflammation in humans.People who are obese already have higher levels of inflammatory biochemicals in their blood, so it was suspected that COVID’s damaging inflammation would be even worse, noted researcher Menna Clatworthy, a clinician scientist at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.“During the...
New Technique 80% Effective in Selecting a Baby's Gender
22 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It's a controversial notion, but couples undergoing fertility treatments may soon be able to select the sex of their baby — with an 80% chance of success, doctors say.Sperm-sorting techniques have been tried and offered before, but the new procedure — which separates sperm cells based on weight — appears much more accurate and safe, according to a new study.In the study, more than 1,300 couples underwent a sperm-sorting technique that uses a specific multilayer density gradient, or medium, to allow particles of different sizes to separate themselves based on weight.Sperm that contains an X chromosome (female) are slightly heavier than sperm containing a Y chromosome (male), explained study author Dr. Gianpiero Palermo. He is a...
From a Lock of Hair, Beethoven's Genome Gives Clues to Health, Family
22 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Genetic analysis of Ludwig van Beethoven’s hair has provided new clues into the cause of the great composer’s death in 1827 — as well as evidence of a family scandal.The analysis revealed that Beethoven suffered from a hepatitis B infection that could have contributed to his death from liver disease.Researchers found DNA evidence of hepatitis B virus in a lock of hair taken from Beethoven’s body shortly after his death in 1827, according to the report published online March 22 in Current Biology.The investigators also found evidence of a strong genetic predisposition to liver disease in Beethoven, said co-researcher Dr. Markus Nothen, a professor with the University Hospital of Bonn’s Institute of Human Genetics, in Germany.“We...
Your Guide to Bedpans and Bedpan Alternatives
22 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Sometimes a person may not be able to make it to the bathroom on their own, either because they are recovering from surgery or have long-term health issues.It’s likely that many people will need to think about being able to change a loved one’s bedpan at home.Research published recently in the journal Health Affairs found that the seniors most likely to need paid home care to continue living at home were also the least likely to be able to afford it."Most people who become frail at older ages rely on unpaid family caregivers," lead researcher Richard Johnson, a senior fellow with the Urban Institute's Income and Benefits Policy Center, in Washington, D.C., said when the study was published. "Those are the people who provide the vast...
AHA News: Medical Student Learned Lesson at an Early Age: 'Health Goes Beyond Medicine'
22 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 22, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Multitasking is a way of life for Juan Medina-Echeverria. He's a husband, a father of two and a second-year medical student living near Chicago. He often listens to his classes while jogging on the treadmill, running the equivalent of 6 or 7 miles for every hourlong lecture. "I'm killing two birds with one stone," he said.Exercise wasn't very accessible during his childhood in his native San Francisco Bay Area. The lower-income community where he grew up lacked amenities such as tracks, basketball courts or public parks."It was hard to find a place to exercise in a safe manner," he said. "I battled with my weight my whole life."Juan's parents, who were undocumented immigrants, also urged him and his two siblings to keep a...
