Wider Supply of Opioid Antidote Naloxone Won't Encourage Heroin Use: Study
WEDNESDAY, March 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Contrary to concerns, wider availability of naloxone treatment is not increasing heroin use among U.S. teens, new research finds.Naloxone (Narcan) quickly reverses an overdose from opioids like heroin, fentanyl, morphine and oxycodone (OxyContin). There had been some worry that expanding access to naloxone might inadvertently promote high-risk substance use among young people. However, the study of more than 900,000 teens found that is not the case.“Findings from our research do not support the hypothesis that broader availability of naloxone between the years studied of 2007 to 2019 increased heroin use or injection drug use among adolescents and suggest that increased adolescent drug use as an unintended consequence of naloxone...
New Ablation Treatment Could Improve A-Fib Care
8 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A quicker, safer option for treating an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation might be just months away.Atrial fibrillation is currently treated with drugs or a procedure known as thermal ablation. Thermal ablation uses extreme temperatures to disable areas of the heart causing the abnormal heart rhythm. The new system -- called pulsed field ablation -- uses electricity instead of extreme heat or cold to disarm critical heart muscle cells."This technology will probably take over thermal ablation," said lead researcher Dr. Atul Verma, a cardiologist at McGill University Health Center in Montreal. "Keep in mind, this is just the first generation of this technology. I think as time goes on over the next five to 10 years, we're going to...
What an Expert Says About Taking Magnesium for Sleep
8 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When people struggle to fall asleep, it’s no surprise they seek solutions. Options can range from prescription medications to sleep therapy, good habits and an abundance of supplements. Taking magnesium for sleep is something some say has real benefits, but does it really? It’s not entirely certain, but the mineral serves a variety of other important functions, so it just might actually work. “The science on whether taking magnesium helps improve the length or quality of sleep has been mixed,†said Dr. Indira Gurubhagavatula, an associate professor of medicine in the Veteran's Administration Medical Center at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia.Past research has had various design limitations and has not been of high...
AHA News: Blood Pressure Measurements in the Clinic May...
8 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 8, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Blood pressure measurements taken in a medical office can vary widely between visits, new research finds, offering further support for guidelines that call for supplemental home monitoring."These large variations in blood pressure measurements pose a great challenge to determine whether hypertension treatment is actually working," said lead study author Yuan Lu, an assistant professor at the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut. "It makes clinical decisions very difficult."The study, published Wednesday in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, was designed to show how ineffective it can be to rely solely on office-based measurements, she said.Nearly half of U.S. adults have high blood pressure, also...
Opioids Cause Half of All Poisonings in U.S. Kids Age 5 and Younger
8 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Opioids pose the greatest poison risk to children in the United States, accounting for more than half of poisoning deaths in infants and toddlers, a new study reports.About 52% of poisoning deaths of children aged 5 and younger in 2018 involved the ingestion of an opioid, according to findings published online March 8 in the journal Pediatrics.“In fact, it has doubled since 2005, when about 24% of all poisoning deaths were attributable to opioids,†said lead researcher Dr. Christopher Gaw, a pediatric emergency physician at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.Experts chalk the rise in these child poisonings up to the United States’ continuing opioid epidemic.“This confirms what we know, which is there are more opioids available in...
Is Your Tap Water Too Hot? Scalding Burns Send Thousands to ER Each Year
8 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A water heater set to 120 degrees Fahrenheit can release water from the tap hot enough to cause a second-degree burn in about nine minutes. Turned up to 130 degrees, that injury happens in just 25 seconds. At 140 degrees, it only takes three seconds, according to a new study that tallied the personal and financial costs of scalding injuries in the United States.Researchers led by Wendy Shields, a senior scientist from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, recommend a potential solution to help prevent these serious accidents. Mandating thermostatic mixing valves that add cold water to tap water before it comes out of the faucet could make a difference, they said.“Scald burns are actually something that's fairly...
COVID Raises Odds for Long-Term Gastro Problems
8 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Add gastrointestinal problems to the long list of lingering conditions that can follow COVID-19.New research has found that people who have had COVID-19 are at an increased risk of gastrointestinal disorders within a year of their infection — including liver problems, acute pancreatitis, irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux and ulcers in the lining of the stomach or upper intestine.They may also have an increased likelihood of constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating and vomiting, according to researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo., and the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health Care system.“Gastrointestinal problems were among the first that were reported by the patient community,†senior...
Women Have Poorer Survival Than Men After Bypass Surgery
8 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Women are more likely than men to die after coronary artery bypass surgery, according to a large new study.Researchers still don’t understand why women have these poorer outcomes.“This should be a ‘wake-up call’ for cardiothoracic surgeons — women still have a higher risk of adverse outcomes following coronary artery bypass surgery, and there doesn’t seem to have been any change in this trend over the past decade,†said study leader Dr. Mario Gaudino. He is a cardiothoracic surgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City.The study found that, compared with men, women have a roughly 30% to 40% higher risk of death after bypass surgery. Women had a 2.8% death rate during or soon after surgery,...
