Similar Processes Could Link MS With Heart Disease
WEDNESDAY, March 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Multiple sclerosis (MS) and atherosclerosis both involve an abnormal hardening of body tissue, and recent research suggests they may be linked.MS is a neurodegenerative disease that attacks the brain and spinal cord. Atherosclerosis is hardening of the arteries.Studies show connections between the two, according to Ochsner Health System in New Orleans. In 2018, a team of Romanian researchers led by Dr. Raluca Ileana Mincu of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Carol Davila, Bucharest, used state-of-the-art echocardiography to conduct heart and vascular assessments in patients with MS.The exams, which show how blood flows through the heart and valves, found that MS patients had more impairments on both sides of the heart compared to...
Scientists Pinpoint Brain Area Needed for Vision-Guided...
22 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new study hones in on what part of your brain controls walking.Researchers discovered that two main regions of the cortex were activated as people moved in various ways through an environment. But the occipital place area (OPA) didn’t activate during crawling, while the second region, the retrosplenial complex (RSC), did.RSC supports map-based navigation, according to the researchers. This involves finding the way from a specific place to some distant, out-of-sight place. Study co-author Daniel Dilks, of Emory University in Atlanta, has theorized that OPA supports visually guided navigation, such as moving through the kitchen without bumping into things.His theory has been controversial, in part because the OPA doesn’t seem to support...
Exercise Does Help People With Parkinson's Disease,...
22 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Exercise can help improve movement-related symptoms for people who have Parkinson’s disease, a new review finds.And any type of structured exercise is better than none, researchers added. The findings were published recently in the Cochrane Reviews.“Parkinson’s disease cannot be cured, but the symptoms can be relieved, and physiotherapy or other forms of exercise may help, too. Until now, it has been unclear whether some types of exercise work better than others,†said Elke Kalbe, a professor of medical psychology at the University of Cologne in Germany. “We wanted to find out what exercise works best to improve movement and quality of life," she said in a journal news release.Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the...
Walking & Talking at Same Time: Aging Brain May Make It...
21 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 21, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Problems walking and talking or thinking at the same time might be a warning sign of impending dementia, a new study suggests.Being unable to juggle two tasks simultaneously has been recognized as a sign of mental (or "cognitive") decline after age 65, but this research shows that the ability actually starts to fall off in middle-age. The finding could spur calls for earlier screening, researchers say."The ability to maintain walking performance while performing another task, a common scenario of walking in daily life, starts to decline in the middle of the sixth decade of lifespan," said lead researcher Junhong Zhou. He's an assistant scientist at the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research at Harvard Medical School, in...
The Most Common Anxiety Symptoms and How to Deal With Them
21 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 21, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Anxiety disorders are no small matter, but knowing which symptoms point to trouble may help you navigate your intense fears and worries.First, you are not alone: Anxiety disorders are estimated to plague nearly 40 million people in the United States each year, according to the Anxiety & Depression Association of America.James Maddux, an emeritus professor of clinical psychology at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., explained that “the best way of thinking about anxiety…is to see it as having three interlocking, interacting components": thinking or cognition; feeling or emotions; and then behavior.“Finding somewhere to intervene at one of those three points, that breaks up that pattern, is also a way of reducing or eliminating the...
Stress Urinary Incontinence? Know Your Surgical Options
21 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 21, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A lot of women experience stress urinary incontinence, those bladder leaks that can happen when a woman is coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercising.It’s the most common type of urinary incontinence in women, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Some first-line options are changing behaviors and doing pelvic floor exercises.Pelvic floor exercises strengthen the muscles that support the bladder, according to NYU Langone Health, in New York City. This can help prevent leakage. Behavior modification can include not drinking alcohol, coffee, tea and soda, which can increase incontinence symptoms. A bladder retraining technician may also help to teach techniques such as deep breathing when the urge to urinate strikes, while...
AHA News: A Cause of Death Prompted Forensic Pathologist to Discover She Had the Same Heart Condition
21 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 21, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- It was Michelle Aurelius' final year of fellowship in forensic pathology, and she was studying fiercely with a friend for her board certification test – the most difficult exam of her life.When her heart started beating rapidly, Michelle figured there was more to it than stress. Instead of her normal pulse rate of 60 beats per minute, she clocked readings in the 80s. Then 120, then 150, then 180. She started to feel dizzy."My heart's racing!" she told her study partner. He rushed to get some ice."Do you need me to call 911?" her friend asked."No, I'm going to be fine," Michelle said.Her heart rate returned to a normal range within 10 minutes, even though it felt like it lasted hours. Michelle, then 35, figured it was a...
Cases of Dangerous Drug-Resistant Fungal Infections Are Spreading
21 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 21, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The hit HBO series "The Last of Us" portrays a zombie apocalypse caused by a fungal infection that hijacks human brains.Back in the real world, there’s an emerging fungal threat rampaging through the United States, a new study warns — one that doesn’t turn humans into zombies, but does endanger lives.Candida auris has surged across the nation since the first case occurred in 2013, researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in the March 20 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.The yeast easily spreads through touch, is difficult to clean away, and can remain viable on surfaces for months, noted lead researcher Dr. Meghan Lyman, a medical officer in the CDC’s Mycotic Diseases Branch.While it’s...
