Looking for Accurate Info on Mpox? Maybe Avoid TikTok
WEDNESDAY, March 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Don’t rely on TikTok for accurate health information about mpox, the virus once known as monkeypox, a new study says.An international group of researchers who watched and analyzed videos about mpox on the social media site found them to be often inaccurate, incomplete and of poor quality. Study findings were published May 14 in BMJ Global Health.A global outbreak of mpox made headlines last year. It's usually spread by close contact and involves fever, swollen lymph glands and painful skin pustules all over the body that last several weeks.“Overall, the material on the recent mpox outbreak shared through TikTok videos was frequently unreliable and incomplete, hindering public health efforts to share accurate information on mpox,†the...
Post-Hurricane Period Is Dangerous for People With Dementia
15 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Hurricanes not only disrupt the communities they affect, they also pose an increased risk of death for people with dementia.This heightened risk could owe to disruption in their normal routines, changes in their living environment or even changes in access to caregiving or medications, a University of Michigan researcher said."The important message is that older adults with dementia have unique needs, most notably that during a disaster they are almost entirely dependent on caregivers due to their lack of awareness of the crisis,†said lead author Sue Anne Bell, an assistant professor of nursing. "I think if anything, there is new attention to the needs of older adults during a disaster, and this study is one of an emerging body of...

15 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Black patients are dying of pulmonary fibrosis, a devastating disease marked by progressive scarring of the lungs, at significantly younger ages than white patients.A new study probes factors contributing to earlier onset of disease, hospitalization and death in Black patients.The disease involves a thickening and scarring of lung tissue, making it hard to breathe.

Yoga Can Help Seniors Regain Their Strength
14 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Practicing yoga might help older adults become a little surer on their feet, a new research review suggests.The review, of 33 small clinical trials, found that older adults who participated in yoga programs typically gained some lower-body strength and boosted their walking speed. Experts said the findings suggest that yoga might help older adults manage some of the strength and movement limitations that can come with age.At the same time, it's hard to give specific advice based on the research that's been done, according to lead researcher Dr. Julia Loewenthal, a geriatrician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.The trials varied in the groups they studied, she said -- sometimes healthy older adults living at home, sometimes nursing...

Bush while he was in office, initially offered HIV antiretroviral therapy to just 66,500 individuals in 2004.“PEPFAR’s efforts have dramatically altered the course of the global HIV epidemic,†CDC Chief Medical Officer Dr. Debra Houry said in an...

14 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 14, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- LeeAnn Walton rushed from work to a fitness club in New York City to lead a yoga class. Her classes had become so popular that she was booked daily at locations in and around Manhattan.Teaching yoga was a side job. She enjoyed it so much more than her demanding office job that she hoped to make a career out of it.On this February day, Walton started leading the group through a series of warmup poses. As she walked around the room assisting students, she suddenly felt a snap in her head, as if someone had launched a rubber band inside it. Then came a "pop" sound in her brain."That's weird," she thought. But she felt fine.A few minutes later, her right hand twisted unnaturally. Her speech began to slur. She lost her balance and...
