Morning-After Antibiotics May Help Curb STDs
FRIDAY, March 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) – A common antibiotic taken shortly after sex by folks in high-risk groups may help stem the spread of some sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Using doxycycline about 72 hours after unprotected sex effectively prevented chlamydia and syphilis cases in men who have sex with men and in transgender women, research presented last month at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infection showed. The antibiotic has been slightly less effective for gonorrhea, but treatment with a meningitis vaccine has already. cut those cases in half, the New York Times reported.About 40% of all STIs in the United States are diagnosed in this high-risk group.A few studies have shed light on the impact of doxycycline in men who have sex with men.

New York City Rats Can Carry COVID Virus
10 March 2023
FRIDAY, March 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Rats can become infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a new study that found many rodents in New York City's sewer system and elsewhere had been exposed.Rats collected in the study tested positive for alpha, delta and omicron variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.The findings were published March 9 in mBio, an open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology.“Our findings highlight the need for further monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 in rat populations for potential secondary zoonotic transmission to humans,†said principal researcher Henry Wan, director of the University of Missouri Center for Influenza and Emerging Infectious Diseases. “Overall, our work in this space shows that animals can play a role in pandemics...
Do C-Section Babies Miss Out on Mom's Helpful Microbes?...
10 March 2023
FRIDAY, March 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- New evidence finds that babies born by cesarean section may not miss out on essential microbes. Though these newborns receive less of their mother’s gut microbiome during birth, they can obtain their mom’s microbes in breast milk and in other ways. “We wanted to have a better idea of how the infant microbiome develops in different parts of their bodies and how it’s influenced by factors such as birth mode, antibiotic use and lack of breastfeeding,†said study co-author Wouter de Steenhuijsen Piters. He is a physician and data scientist at the University Medical Center Utrecht, in the Netherlands.The microbiome is the collection of microorganisms living in parts of the body, such as the digestive system.Babies are generally considered...
Falls Can Be More Dangerous for Older Men Than for Women
10 March 2023
FRIDAY, March 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While older women are treated for falls more often than elderly males, men are more likely to sustain skull fractures when they topple over, new research suggests.This is a serious concern because more than 3 million people aged 65 and older are treated in U.S. emergency departments each year for falls. “The high incidence of head injury and subsequent skull fractures due to falls is a cause for concern as our aging population continues living active lifestyles,†study co-author Dr. Scott Alter, an associate professor of emergency medicine at Florida Atlantic University College of Medicine, said in a university news release. Head trauma is the leading cause of serious injury, and skull fractures are a serious head trauma outcome, the study...

10 March 2023
FRIDAY, March 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When you turn your clock forward for the start of daylight saving time, take time for some potentially life-saving safety checks.“When moving your clocks forward, remember to check every level of your home for working smoke and CO alarms,†said Alexander Hoehn-Saric, chair of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). “Use this additional daylight to prevent home fires by cleaning clothes dryer vents.â€So, he advised, add these chores to your weekend "to-do" list: Replace batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms, and clean accumulated lint from clothes dryer vents.About 360,000 residential fires happen in the United States each year, according to CPSC estimates.
