AHA News: 3 Years of COVID-19: Learning to Live in a World Reshaped by the Pandemic
THURSDAY, March 9, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- On March 11, 2020, when the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, everyone wanted to know: "What is this disease, and how can we stop it?"After three years of terrible loss – including more than 1.1 million U.S. deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – along with remarkable scientific progress, some experts say the question has become, "How do we adapt to a world where that disease is here to stay?""It's really a glass-half-empty, half-full approach, where some people say, 'Well, you know, COVID is much less morbid than it was two or three years ago, and things are so much better,'" said Dr. Sandeep R. Das, professor of internal medicine in the cardiology division at UT...

Pharmacies, Hospitals Facing Shortage of Asthma Drug...
9 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Ongoing shortages of a medication that hospitals and emergency rooms rely upon to treat breathing problems are likely to worsen in coming days and weeks, experts warn.That’s because one of the two major U.S. suppliers of liquid albuterol, Akorn Pharmaceuticals, abruptly laid off its entire workforce and closed plants in New Jersey, New York and Illinois in late February.“We’re down to just one plant that’s supplying liquid albuterol to all patients in the United States,†said Dr. Juanita Mora, a Chicago allergist/immunologist and volunteer spokesperson for the American Lung Association.That remaining supplier of liquid albuterol, Nephron Pharmaceuticals, has had manufacturing issues of its own, exacerbating the situation even more,...
Two Healthy Diets May Reduce Brain 'Plaques' Tied to Alzheimer's Risk
9 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Elderly adults who eat plenty of leafy green vegetables, fish and other healthy fare may take years off their "brain age," a new study suggests.Researchers found that seniors with either of two healthy eating patterns -- the Mediterranean and MIND diets -- showed fewer brain "plaques," abnormal protein clumps that are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.In fact, people with the highest Mediterranean or MIND scores had brains that were up to 18 years younger than their counterparts with more of a burger-and-fries diet.Experts said the findings do not prove that spinach and fish will ward off dementia. But they do add to a growing body of evidence linking healthy eating to slower brain aging.Lead researcher Puja Agarwal called the results...

Depression Ups Odds for a Stroke
9 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- In yet another example of the mind-body connection, people with depression symptoms may face an increased risk of having a stroke, as well as a worse recovery afterwards. A new international study, published online March 8 in the journal Neurology, found about 18% of those who had a stroke had symptoms of depression, compared to 14% of those who did not have a stroke. After adjusting for other contributing factors, researchers determined that people with symptoms of depression before stroke had an overall 46% increased risk of stroke compared to those with no symptoms of depression.As the symptoms increased, so did the higher risk of stroke. “Depression affects people around the world and can have a wide range of impacts across a...
COVID's Toll on Mental Health May Have Been Exaggerated: Study
9 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new review of 137 studies from around the world has found that, despite dramatic stories about COVID-19’s impact on mental health, the psychological fallout from the pandemic has been less intense than thought.“Mental health in COVID-19 is much more nuanced than people have made it out to be,†said senior study author Brett Thombs, a Canada Research Chair and professor in the Department of Psychiatry at McGill University in Montreal. “Claims that the mental health of most people has deteriorated significantly during the pandemic have been based primarily on individual studies that are ‘snapshots’ of a particular situation, in a particular place, at a particular time," Thombs said in a university news release. "They typically...
