A Good Night's Sleep Could Give Your Vaccine a Boost
TUESDAY, March 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It may be possible to nudge your vaccine to work a little better. The trick is a good night’s sleep.Sleep helps the immune system respond to vaccination, according to a new meta-analysis of past research, published March 13 in Current Biology.In it, researchers found that people who slept fewer than six hours per night produced significantly fewer antibodies than people who slept seven or more. That deficit was equivalent to two months of waning antibodies.“Good sleep not only amplifies but may also extend the duration of protection of the vaccine,†senior author Eve Van Cauter said in a journal news release. She is a professor emeritus at the University of Chicago.Van Cauter and lead author Karine Spiegel, of the French National...
After 3 Years of the Pandemic, Loneliness May Be Ebbing...
14 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- On the third anniversary of the pandemic, a new poll shows fewer older adults are experiencing loneliness and isolation though the numbers are still high. About one-third of adults aged 50 to 80 still sometimes or often experience isolation and loneliness, according to the University of Michigan researchers. They may go a week or longer without social contact from someone outside the home. Still, that’s fewer than the half of older adults who reported this in June 2020.“Three years into the COVID-19 pandemic, we see reason for hope, but also a real cause for concern,†said Dr. Preeti Malani, senior advisor and former director of the University of Michigan (U-M) National Poll on Healthy Aging. “If anything, the pandemic has shown us...
Drug Used in Pregnancies in 1960s, '70s May Be Tied to...
14 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The children of women who took a common anti-nausea drug for pregnancy in the 1960s and 1970s may be at higher risk of colon cancer, according to a new study.The drug, dicyclomine, is used to treat spasms caused by irritable bowel syndrome. It was also initially included in Bendectin, a drug prescribed during pregnancy starting in the 1960s to prevent nausea and vomiting.“Our findings suggest that events in the earliest periods of life -- including the womb -- can affect risk of cancer many decades later,†said study first author Caitlin Murphy, an associate professor at University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston School of Public Health. “As many as 25% of pregnant women received Bendectin through the mid-1970s, and there may...
Does Country Living Make Folks Happier? Maybe Not
14 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It might seem like a move to rural living could bring calm and even happiness, but new research suggests that isn’t always so. A study from the University of Houston found that those living in the country were not more satisfied with their lives than people who lived in urban areas. Rural U.S. residents didn’t feel like their lives were more meaningful, and they also tended to be more anxious, depressed and neurotic.Among the reasons for this are a shortage of mental health professionals, and the researchers noted a surge in rural hospital closures since 2010. Almost 85% of all rural counties have a mental health professional shortage, even though rural residents appear to need more psychological services, according to the study.“It...
Primary Care Visits Shorter, More Prone to Error for Non-White Patients: Study
13 March 2023
MONDAY, March 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Do all patients get the same amount of face-to-face time when visiting their primary care doctor? Apparently not, claims a new study that found Black and Hispanic patients -- as well as patients with public health insurance like Medicaid or Medicare -- tend to get the short end of the stick when it comes to the length of office visits.In some cases, shorter visits can potentially lead to dangerous consequences, investigators found, upping the risk for poor prescribing practices involving antibiotics, painkillers and/or sedatives. “While many studies have documented the fact that Black patients have fewer primary care visits relative to white patients, per year, I believe ours is the first to explore variation in visit length by...
Did 'Helicopter' Parents Cause the Mental Health Crisis in Today's Young?
13 March 2023
MONDAY, March 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Kids and teens are struggling with their mental health in America, and one new report suggests the overinvolvement of parents may be partly to blame.Kids don't get to roam any more. They've lost time for free play and risk-taking amid parents' fears about the dangers of the world, said report co-author David Bjorklund. While people think the lack of independence and the growth in mental health issues is new, it’s been a lot more gradual, said Bjorklund, a professor in the psychology department at Florida Atlantic University College of Science, in Boca Raton.“It’s not a really new phenomenon. It’s a growing one. And it's been growing for decades,†Bjorklund said. The trend emerged in the 1960s and really accelerated in the 1980s, the...

13 March 2023
MONDAY, March 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- If you were asked your favorite sleep position, you’d probably be able to answer pretty quickly.But it can be a little trickier to figure out the best sleeping position -- one that helps you reduce your aches and pains and maximize the enormous health benefits that research has shown a good night’s sleep can provide.Here are the positions that the experts recommend, whether you’re pregnant, prone to snoring, dealing with back or neck pain, or have other conditions that can benefit from the right position while you rest. Plus, experts offer tips on making the most of your current favorite position and "training" yourself to sleep in different ones that might be better for you. What are the best sleeping positions?“The best sleep...
Reducing Home Hazards Cuts Seniors' Risk of Falling
13 March 2023
MONDAY, March 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Nearly one-third of older people fall each year, most of them in their own homes. But it's possible to reduce those numbers by a quarter, according to a new study.Five steps can cut the risk of falls by 26%, the researchers reported in the March 10 issue of the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Those steps are: decluttering; reducing tripping hazards; improving lighting; and adding hand rails and non-slip strips to stairs.“Falls are very common among older people. They can cause serious injury or even death, but they are preventable. In this review, we wanted to examine which measures could have the biggest impact on reducing falls among older people living at home,†lead author Lindy Clemson, professor emeritus at the University of...
