Dementia Risk Rises for Elite European Soccer Players
FRIDAY, March 17, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It’s well-established that American football players can suffer significant brain impacts as they age.Now, new research shows that elite European soccer players are also more likely than the average person to develop dementia.Men in the Swedish top soccer division between 1924 and 2019 were 1.5 times more likely to develop neurodegenerative disease than those in a control group.The study of more than 6,000 players found they had an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.They did not, however, have any increased risk for motor neuron disease, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease). And they had even lower risk of Parkinson’s disease than a control group matched by...
Could COVID Trigger 'Face Blindness'?
16 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The list of symptoms that can strike long COVID sufferers has just gotten a little longer, and a little more mysterious: Researchers are reporting a case of "face blindness" related to the syndrome.The condition, known medically as prosopagnosia, causes a very specific impairment: trouble discerning one face from another. Even the once-familiar face of a loved one might as well be a stranger's.Typically, face blindness arises from damage to the brain's face-processing network, after a head injury or stroke, for example, said Marie-Luise Kieseler, a researcher at the Dartmouth College Social Perception Lab in Hanover, N.H.Now she and colleague Brad Duchaine have identified the first case of face blindness linked to long-haul COVID.Reporting...
Gonorrhea: What It Is, Symptoms, Treatment & More
16 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Commonly known as the "clap," gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease that can cause infertility in both women and men if left untreated.The bad news is that cases are on the rise: According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are on a steady and steep climb. Gonorrhea, already the second most common STD in the United States, saw a 10% increase in prevalence in 2020 alone.“The COVID-19 pandemic put enormous pressure on an already strained public health infrastructure,†Dr. Jonathan Mermin, director of CDC’s National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, said recently. “There were moments in 2020 when it felt like the world was standing still, but...
AHA News: What Happens When We Sleep, and Why We Need...
16 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 16, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Research shows adults need seven to nine hours of sleep each night for optimal health, and children need more.But what's happening during those hours that's so important, and what's the danger of cutting sleep short?A growing body of research shows getting little or poor sleep doesn't just make people feel tired the next day – it places them at higher risk for heart attacks and early death, along with cognitive decline, dementia, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, depression and other chronic health conditions.There's so much evidence linking poor sleep to poor health that the American Heart Association last year added sleep duration to its list of critical components for optimizing heart and brain health.Yet about 1...
Florida's Board of Medicine Bans Gender-Affirming Care for Minors. Does the Science Back That Up?
16 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- In state after state, doors are quickly slamming shut on the ability of doctors to provide gender-affirming care for transgender minors.The newest restriction is set to take effect Thursday in Florida, where that state’s Board of Medicine decided last month to ban the use of all puberty blockers, hormone therapies and/or surgeries for any patient under 18, whether or not those minors have parental approval for such care. The ban stems from an effort first launched by Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Surgeon General back in April 2022, when the pair issued a joint call for the ban. That was followed in August 2022 by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration’s rewriting of Medicaid coverage rules that disallowed reimbursements...
Just 2 Kids Worldwide Are Known to Have This Rare Genetic Disease. Their Parents United for a Cure
16 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When Yoni Silverman, now 13, was a toddler, his parents fretted as he missed milestone after milestone. The New York City couple took their son to a host of specialists, searching for answers about why he wasn’t speaking and had difficulty with balance, among other developmental issues.Fast forward a few years later, and a Boston couple was going through something similar with their now 8-year-old son, Ollie. At the time, unlike other toddlers, Ollie wasn’t speaking, sitting up or looking at objects.Neither family felt satisfied with the answers they were getting or the labels that specialists tried to place on their sons, so they pushed the envelope and ordered extensive genetic testing.And that’s where this story of hope and synergy...
When New Moms Are in Pain, Prescribing an Opioid Is Safe for Newborn: Study
16 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Sometimes new moms receive opioid prescriptions for pain, particularly after a cesarean delivery. They needn't worry, researchers say.Their newborns are at no greater risk of harm than those whose moms don’t get those prescriptions, according to a large new study in Canada. The findings, published March 15 in the BMJ, should reassure parents and their doctors, the researchers said. “Findings from this study suggest no association between maternal opioid prescription after delivery and adverse infant outcomes, including death,†the study authors said in a journal news release. Researchers included Dr. Jonathan Zipursky, of the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, and Dr. David Juurlink, of the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences in...
Fertility Treatments Pose No Danger to People With MS
16 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Women with multiple sclerosis who want to undergo fertility treatment can do so without worry, according to a new study. Participants who had MS were no more likely to have a flare-up of the disease after receiving fertility treatments than they were before their treatments, researchers found. The study also found a link between MS medication and lack of an increase in relapses during fertility treatment.“These results are exciting, as MS is common among females of childbearing age, and those with MS are more likely to be diagnosed with infertility but have been less likely to receive fertility treatment than those who do not have MS,†said study co-author Dr. Edith Graham, an assistant professor of neurology at Northwestern University...
