Two More Brands of Eyedrops Recalled Over Infection Risks
TUESDAY, March 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. Federal health officials have issued recall notices for two more brands of eyedrops.In the latest round of recalls, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration posted notices after the companies voluntarily pulled several lots of their eyedrops from the market.These recalls do not appear to be connected to other recent recalls or an outbreak in drug-resistant infections, the Associated Press reported.The companies involved in the recalls are Phoenix-based Pharmedica and Florida-based Apotex.Pharmedica is recalling its Purely Soothing 15% MSM Drops meant to treat eye irritation. The two lots were pulled because of problems “that could result in blindness,†the company said.People who have the eyedrops should immediately stop using them and...
Does Running Bring on Arthritic Knees?
7 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- New research offers up some good news for diehard marathon runners: You don’t necessarily have to give up running if you are experiencing hip or knee pain.Contrary to widespread opinion, running marathons does not increase your risk for developing hip or knee osteoarthritis, the wear and tear form of the disease, a new study of seasoned Chicago marathoners showed.“You don’t develop knee or hip osteoarthritis simply because of how fast you run or how many miles you put on your body,†said study author Dr. Matthew James Hartwell, an orthopedic surgery sports medicine fellow at the University of the University of California, San Francisco.So, what does increase a runner’s risk for hip or knee arthritis? Basically, the same things that...
How Soon Can You Resume Tennis, Golf After Shoulder Surgery?
7 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Returning to golf, tennis or pickleball after shoulder replacement surgery shouldn't be too hard.Healing does take time, but within a few months most people can get back to play at their pre-surgery level without the pain that they experienced before, a pair of new studies show."Recovery after both an anatomic and reverse shoulder replacement or from any shoulder replacement is identical," said Dr. Jonathan Levy, director of the Levy Shoulder Center at the Paley Orthopedic and Spine Institute in Boca Raton, Fla., who led both studies."Patients are protected for the first six weeks and allowed to stretch for the next six weeks, but not allowed to return to the sport for at least three months," he said.On average, it took patients about six...
AHA News: After a Heart Attack, He Ran a 17-Mile Trek...
7 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 7, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- During what should've been an easy walk with his wife, Rick Mater found himself winded. It made little sense to him.The TV executive was in his 40s, active, didn't smoke and maintained a healthy weight. Still, he considered this a sign that he should exercise more. So the former high school miler and cross-country runner pulled out his shoes and began running on the mountain trails near their home at the foot of the Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles.The exercise helped his stamina. Then came the day, years later, when he felt faint while walking up the stairs. He considered seeing a doctor. Yet he also thought about his mom dying from heart disease.To some, the combination might be reason to see a doctor right away. Mater,...
Vitamin D Might Help You Avoid Dementia
7 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Can vitamin D lower dementia risk?Quite possibly, a team of British and Canadian researchers report.In their study, investigators spent roughly a decade tracking more than 12,000 older people. None had dementia at the start of the study period. In the end, the team determined that those who had been taking vitamin D supplements during that time appeared to face a 40% lower risk for dementia, compared with those who had never taken the supplements.Even so, Claire Sexton, senior director of scientific programs and outreach at the Alzheimer's Association, cautioned that much more research is needed to better understand a possible link between vitamin D and dementia risk.For one thing, she noted that the study team did not track how much vitamin D...
Most College Athletes With Genetic Heart Trouble Can Safely Play Sports: Study
7 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- New research offers hope to elite athletes who have genetic heart conditions but still want to play sports.In the new study, after a follow-up of seven years, researchers found that 95% of athletes with a diagnosed and treated genetic heart disease had no disease-triggered cardiac events. These would have included fainting or seizures, implantable cardio-defibrillator (ICD) shocks, sudden cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death.The researchers said the study was the first to assess the risk of potentially life-threatening arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat) among National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I and professional athletes with heart conditions that can increase the risk of sudden cardiac death, such as hypertrophic...
There's Almost Nowhere in the World Free of Air Pollution
7 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new study is enough to take your breath way: Nearly no place on Earth is free of air pollution, it found.The study "provides a deep understanding of the current state of outdoor air pollution and its impacts on human health. With this information, policymakers, public health officials and researchers can better assess the short-term and long-term health effects of air pollution and develop air pollution mitigation strategies,†said study co-author Yuming Guo, from the Monash University School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine in Melbourne, Australia. He spoke in a university news release.The researchers found that only 0.001% of the global population is exposed to World Health Organization-established safe levels of ambient fine...
Stick-on Sensor Could Warn of Heart Failure Complications
7 March 2023
TUESDAY, March 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A stick-on sensor may help keep people with heart failure out of the hospital, new research suggests. Investigators found that when doctors had actionable information about patients’ conditions, delivered remotely through this noninvasive device, it prompted them to adjust medications earlier and prevent complications from escalating. Patients with heart failure who used this device were 38% less likely to be readmitted to the hospital within 90 days.The study was funded by Zoll Medical Corp., the developer of this heart sensor, called the µCor system.Its ease of application and removal could make the device a more cost-effective alternative to an implantable sensor, according to the researchers. The findings were presented Monday at the...
