New Lease on Life for Two Lung Cancer Patients After Pioneering Double-Lung Transplant
WEDNESDAY, March 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Retired nurse Tannaz Ameli was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer last winter. When chemotherapy failed, her doctors recommended hospice care.But Ameli, of Minneapolis, had other ideas. She and her husband sought out a pioneering medical team at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago. Today, she is a survivor of a double-lung transplant -- just the second this team of specialists has successfully performed on stage 4 patients standing at hospice's door.“I begged my doctors in Minnesota to consider a lung transplant, but they wouldn’t do it. Luckily, my husband refused to give up and pushed for a second opinion,†said Ameli. “When I came to Northwestern Medicine, the first thing Dr. [Ankit] Bharat told me was, ‘I think we can make you...
Why Do I Sleep So Much? Reasons for Oversleeping
15 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Your eyes close and your mind shuts down the second your head hits the pillow, but you wake up 10 hours later still feeling tired.Many people complain about sleeping too little, but some struggle with the opposite problem: oversleeping.Oversleeping, or hypersomnia, is a sleep disorder characterized by complaints of excessive daytime sleepiness occurring regularly or often, even after sleeping 10 or more hours a night. “Healthy sleep encompasses three major things,†Marishka Brown, a sleep expert at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), said recently. “One is how much sleep you get. Another is sleep quality — that you get uninterrupted and refreshing sleep. The last is a consistent sleep schedule. If you’re sleeping more...
Bird Flu Outbreak Killed New England Harbor Seals,...
15 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A strain of avian (bird) flu appears to be killing seals off the New England coast, heightening fears among scientists that mammal-to-mammal transmission could be happening. If so, it would be a step towards something health experts have long dreaded: A strain of H5N1 bird flu that might spread easily among people, with potentially devastating effects. "We report an HPAI A (H5N1) virus outbreak among New England harbor and gray seals that was concurrent with a wave of avian infections in the region," said a team led by Dr. Wendy Puryear. She is a virologist at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University in North Grafton, Mass.Overall, there were 164 known cases of deaths to harbor seals and 11 such cases of gray seals in...
Cardiac Arrest During Childbirth Is Rare, But Some Women...
15 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It's extremely rare, but the number of women suffering cardiac arrest during childbirth is rising in the United States as older, less healthy women have babies, a new study finds. One in 9,000 women hospitalized during delivery has a cardiac arrest -- a higher rate than previously known, researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say. "We did the study, because by better understanding how often this happens during delivery we can really improve strategies to reduce deaths among pregnant women," said researcher Dr. Romeo Galang, a medical officer at CDC's National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities. On the plus side, about two-thirds of the women who have a cardiac arrest during delivery survive,...
Mediterranean Diet Cuts Women's Odds of Heart Disease, Early Death by Nearly 25%
15 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Steering clear of red meat, dairy and processed foods in favor of vegetables, fruits, nuts, extra virgin olive oil and whole grains will do a woman’s heart good, a new review shows.How much good? Australian investigators concluded that women who most closely followed the Mediterranean diet — which also features legumes, fish and shellfish, and moderate amounts of wine — appeared to lower their long-term risk for heart disease and premature death by nearly 25%, compared with women who didn’t.Though not involved in the analysis, Connie Diekman, a food and nutrition consultant and former president of the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, said the finding “is not surprising.â€For one, Diekman noted that “studies continue to...
Diabetes, Tooth Loss Can Be Double Trouble for Aging Brains
15 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Diabetes is a known risk factor for mental decline and dementia. Paired with total tooth loss, the potential harm to the brain is even more significant, new research indicates.The findings highlight the importance of good dental care and diabetes control in aging adults, said Bei Wu, lead author of a new study of nearly 10,000 adults. “Access to dental care for older adults, especially those with diabetes, is really important,†said Wu, vice dean for research at the New York University Rory Meyers College of Nursing and co-director of the NYU Aging Incubator in New York City. The American Diabetes Association recommends regular dental checkups for anyone with diabetes -- "but how many people are following that and how many clinicians...
AHA News: California Man Didn't Know He Was Living With a 'Ticking Time Bomb'
15 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 15, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Richard Horton woke up one morning needing to use the bathroom. He got out of bed, took a couple steps and stumbled into the wall.The 55-year-old insurance broker told his then-wife, Bridgette Horton, he thought he might be having a stroke. It was the only thing that made sense. Still, he brushed it off and went back to bed.A bit later, Bridgette was headed to a family funeral. He assured her he'd be fine. But before she left, she heard him talking to a client on the phone, and the things he said didn't make sense."Why are you talking like that?" she said."I don't know," Richard said.She again asked if he was OK, and he said he felt fine.After the funeral, the couple went to the emergency room for good measure. They...
Colon Cancer in the Young: One Woman's Story
15 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Tatiana Gonzalez had just quit her job as a postal carrier, and with it the 12 miles a day she walked as she delivered people’s mail.So Gonzalez, then 39, figured that was why she suddenly became so constipated that she required laxatives to go to the bathroom.“I thought to myself, maybe it has to do with because I’m not doing exercise anymore,†she said. “But in a couple of months, I start seeing blood in the stool.â€It turned out that Gonzalez, now 42 and living in Clifton, N.J., actually had stage 3 colon cancer -- which she found out through a colonoscopy.“It was devastating,†she recalled of her diagnosis. “Waking up in a doctor's office and he just approaches you and all of a sudden he tells you that you have colon...
