MONDAY, March 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Traveling in Mexico? Use caution when buying medications there, cautions the U.S. State Department.The warning was issued in response to concerns about counterfeit pills containing fentanyl being sold at pharmacies in tourist areas and border regions. “Counterfeit pills are readily advertised on social media and can be purchased at small, non-chain pharmacies in Mexico along the border and in tourist areas,†it said.Pills sold as OxyContin, Percocet and Xanax are often counterfeit and “may contain deadly doses of fentanyl,†the State Department advised.

20 March 2023
MONDAY, March 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Military pilots and the ground crews who fuel and maintain their aircraft have higher rates of certain types of cancer, a new study shows. The Pentagon researched cancer cases in nearly 900,000 military members who served between 1992 and 2017, comparing them to the general U.S. population. The study “proves that it’s well past time for leaders and policy makers to move from skepticism to belief and active assistance,†retired Air Force Col. Vince Alcazar, a member of the Red River Valley Fighter Pilots Association, told the Associated Press. Congress required the study as part of the defense bill in 2021, the AP reported. Now, the new findings will necessitate an even bigger review.Overall, the study found that air crews had a 24%...

IUDs, Contraceptive Implants Tough to Access for Women...
20 March 2023
MONDAY, March 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- People covered by Medicaid insurance may not have easy access to some of the most effective, longer-acting birth control methods, new research claims.Investigators found that while about 48% of physicians who treat Medicaid patients provided prescription contraception like the birth control pill, only 10% offered longer-acting methods like IUDs and implants. Birth control is considered an essential health service.“This study is first of its kind and uses a national dataset of all Medicaid claims filed in the U.S,†said lead author Mandar Bodas, a research scientist at George Washington University's Milken Institute School of Public Health in Washington, D.C.“In our analysis, we found that a physician’s characteristics -- including...
Your Body Clock Knows When It's Time for Dinner: Study
20 March 2023
MONDAY, March 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Do you ever wonder why you typically feel hungry when it’s time for dinner?Researchers say that’s not just a habit, but a physiological drive, with the human body able to predict the timing of regular meals.“We often get hungry around the same time every day, but the extent to which our biology can anticipate mealtimes is unknown. It is possible that metabolic rhythms align to meal patterns and that regularity of meals will ensure that we eat at the time when our bodies are best adapted to deal with them,†said study author Jonathan Johnston. He is a professor of chronobiology and integrative physiology at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom.To investigate if the human circadian system anticipates meals, the researchers...

20 March 2023
MONDAY, March 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- If you bought a carbon monoxide detector on Amazon and it was sold under the names GLBSUNION and CUZMAK, stop using it.The U.S. Consumer Protection Safety Commission issued a warning because these detectors may fail to alert consumers to the presence of deadly CO, which is odorless and colorless. The detectors have a digital display.More than 200 people in the United States die every year from accidental, CO poisoning associated with consumer products.If an elevated level of the deadly gas is in the home and the detector isn’t working, injury or death are likely, CPSC noted.Sensitivity tests performed by the commission on the GLBSUNION and CUZMAK detectors found that they failed to alert when exposed to predetermined concentrations of CO in...

California's Wildfires Caused Uptick in Skin Ailments
20 March 2023
MONDAY, March 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Wildfires are known to have a lot of negative impacts on the environment and the health of the people who live through them. Yet another is the worsening of skin conditions, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). The group shared strategies to minimize the effect air pollution can have on people’s skin during its annual meeting, held this past weekend in New Orleans. “The health impact of air pollution from wildfires has not been well studied, but the evidence from our recent studies suggests that short-term exposure to wildfire air pollution can affect the skin and cause flares of certain skin disorders,†said Dr. Maria Wei, a professor of dermatology at the University of California, San Francisco. “We found that the...
