In Mice, Gene Therapy Helps Restore Movement After Spinal Cord Injury
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Gene therapy has restored mobility in mice with completely severed spinal cords, researchers report.The mice regained the ability to walk, with gait patterns resembling those of mice that resumed walking naturally after only partial cord injuries, the investigators found.This happened because the new gene therapy used techniques to not only repair spinal cord tissue, but also to direct the repairs in a way that would restore mobility, the study authors said.“Five years ago, we demonstrated that nerve fibers can be regenerated across anatomically complete spinal cord injuries [when the spinal cord is completely severed],†said senior researcher Mark Anderson. He is director of Central Nervous System Regeneration at the Swiss research and...
Timing of Hot Flashes Could Give Clues to Alzheimer's Risk
27 September 2023
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Hot flashes and night sweats top the list of bothersome symptoms for women going through menopause. Now, a new study suggests that hot flashes, especially during sleep, may be more than a nuisance: They may foreshadow Alzheimer's disease.And the more hot flashes a woman experiences during sleep, the greater her risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease, the most common type of dementia.“Women with nighttime hot flashes should see them as a wake-up call to do what they can to take care of their health,†said study author Rebecca Thurston, director of the Women's Biobehavioral Health Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh. “[This includes] adequate sleep, diet, physical activity, moderating alcohol use, treatment of any [high blood...
What Is 'Sexsomnia'? And 'Sleep Eating'? Can They Be...
27 September 2023
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Everyone’s seen a movie or TV show featuring someone sleepwalking -- eyes half-lidded, bumbling around, tripping over furniture.But sleepwalkers are actually capable of much more complex behaviors during their restless slumber, a new paper says.During sleep some people can engage in sex ('sexsomnia'), pig out on junk food, try to cook, have a lively conversation or even hop in their car for a quick spin.“There's really a full spectrum here where sometimes it is just harmless and doesn't need treatment and then sometimes it can be on the other end of that and can be quite dangerous,†said lead researcher Jennifer Mundt, an assistant professor of sleep medicine, psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University’s Feinberg...

27 September 2023
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Just 23% of American adults say they 'definitely' will get the new COVID-19 vaccine, while another 23% say they will 'probably' get it, according to a new poll, which also finds interest in the shot falls along partisan lines.More people plan to get seasonal flu shots and the new vaccine to help prevent severe symptoms for respiratory syncytial virus or RSV.The poll -- by the nonprofit organization KFF -- breaks down what Americans are thinking about vaccination and their trust in public health agencies.“The poll shows that most of the nation still trusts the [U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] and the [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] on vaccines -- but there is a partisan gap, and most Republicans don’t trust the...
More Women Using Cannabis to Help Ease Menopause Symptoms
27 September 2023
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Women over 50 are turning to weed in droves, and menopause symptoms may be one big reason why, new research suggestsThese women may not necessarily be getting the results they’re looking for, however. That's according to menopause experts who say it’s not clear from limited research whether the drug helps ease symptoms or exacerbates them.“People are desperate. They want to sleep. They want to feel better. And it's been pretty normalized at this point that cannabis is something that works for those issues. I want to be clear that we don't actually know if it works,†said study author Carolyn Gibson, a health services researcher at the University of California, San Francisco.“The evidence is really mixed whether it's helping or...
Black Patients More Likely to Be Physically Restrained During ER Visits
27 September 2023
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) – It seemed to some that patients of color were being restrained in the emergency room more often than others, so researchers decided to investigate.While physical restraints can be used to keep staff and patients safe, they may also cause injury to the patient, including aspiration, physical trauma and psychological harm.A new study bears out what the team from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston suspected: Black patients are more often restrained than patients from all other racial groups. The finding stems from a review of 10 studies published through February 2022.“The absolute event rate for restraint use was relatively low, less than 1%, but our results suggest that Black patients have a higher risk of restraint than patients of...
PTSD Can Harm a Woman's Sex Life
27 September 2023
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Suffering from PTSD may take a toll on your sex life if you're a woman, new research reveals.About 10% of women have PTSD symptoms because of combat exposure, childhood abuse and sexual violence. Little research has been done looking at how these symptoms might affect sexual functioning among midlife women."As women age, there are many reasons why sexual functioning may become an issue for them," said Dr. Stephanie Faubion, medical director for the North American Menopause Society. "This study highlights the need for health care professionals to ask about any history of trauma and open up the dialogue with their patients on this sensitive issue," she said in a society news release.Researchers studied this in more than 100 postmenopausal...
Blood Tests for Long COVID Could Lead to Better Treatments
26 September 2023
TUESDAY, Sept. 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- People who develop long COVID have distinct abnormalities in their immune and hormonal function that can be picked up with blood tests, researchers have found.In a new study of 268 patients with and without long COVID, those with the condition showed a number of biological "markers" in their blood samples.People with long COVID often showed signs of compromised immune function, including abnormal T cell activity and a reactivation of "sleeping" viruses that their immune system had previously kept in check -- including Epstein-Barr and other herpesviruses.They also had markers of hormonal dysfunction, like reduced morning-time levels of cortisol. That hormone, which normally peaks in the morning, plays an essential role in many bodily...
