FDA Panel to Again Weigh Merit of Decongestant That Many Call Useless
MONDAY, March 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Consumers have been using a common over-the-counter oral decongestant known as phenylephrine for years, but that may not continue much longer.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has asked a panel of its advisors to reassess the drug’s effectiveness. The medication’s safety isn’t in question, just whether it actually does what it claims to do.The FDA’s Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee will meet in April to consider the effectiveness of the oral version of phenylephrine.The same panel had decided the drug “may be effective†in a 2007 meeting following federal efforts to fight illegal manufacturing of methamphetamine, which required the decongestant known as pseudoephedrine to be sold behind pharmacy counters, CBS News...
Young Americans Face Rising Rates of Obesity, High Blood...
6 March 2023
MONDAY, March 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Young adults in the United States carry an increasing burden of heart health risk factors, making it more likely they’ll suffer a heart attack and stroke as they age, a new study warns.More adults ages 20 to 44 are obese and diabetic than a decade ago, and they are more likely to have poorly controlled blood pressure, according to the study published March 5 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.Researchers also found that young Black and Hispanic adults are more likely to suffer from these risk factors than white young adults.“We’re witnessing a smoldering public health crisis,†said senior researcher Dr. Rishi Wadhera, section head of health policy and equity at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center’s Smith Center for...
1 in 4 U.S. Parents Lied About a Child's COVID Status
6 March 2023
MONDAY, March 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Public health officials offered a lot of advice to prevent the spread of COVID-19 early in the pandemic, but some parents apparently tuned it out.About 1 in 4 misled others about their child’s COVID status, vaccination and related details, a nationwide survey found.“Like everyone else, parents worried about getting sick with COVID-19 or about losing their job, but parents also had to manage juggling job responsibilities while their children were home in quarantine,†said study co-author Andrea Gurmankin Levy, a professor of social sciences at Middlesex Community College in Middletown, Conn. “And it’s quite possible that some parents misrepresented their child’s COVID-19 status or didn’t adhere to testing or quarantine rules in an...
AHA News: Latin Dishes Can Be Heart-Healthy and Still...
6 March 2023
MONDAY, March 6, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Over the decades, traditional Latin American and Caribbean foods and flavors have won the hearts – and stomachs – of hungry people in the United States.With every immigrant culture from Latin America and the Caribbean have come a cornucopia of foods that have increasingly tickled palates. Sure, the mere mention of staples such as tacos, enchiladas, arepas, empanadas, pupusas and tamales can conjure up images of dishes laden with salt, unhealthy fats and dense calories – ingredients that can contribute to cardiovascular disease. But it doesn't have to be that way.It's possible to cook healthier while staying true to authentic culinary exports from Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, Puerto Rico and their neighbors....
Cell Injections Show Promise Against Chronic Back Pain
6 March 2023
MONDAY, March 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- An injection that relieves low back pain by helping damaged spinal discs regenerate appears to have sustained benefits, new clinical trial data show.Most patients who received an injection of VIA Disc received back pain relief that lasted at least three years, said lead researcher Dr. Douglas Beall, chief of radiology at Clinical Radiology of Oklahoma in Edmond.About 60% of patients had a 50% or better improvement in their pain three years after treatment, results showed, while more than 70% had a greater than 20-point improvement in movement and function.“This is durable relief out through 36 months,†said Beall, who is scheduled to present these findings Monday at a meeting of the Society for Interventional Radiology, in Phoenix. Findings...
Nexletol Could Be Alternative Cholesterol Med for Folks Who Can't Take Statins
6 March 2023
MONDAY, March 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Not everyone can tolerate statins to reduce their high cholesterol, but now a new study finds the medication bempedoic acid (Nexletol) reduced the combined rate of bad cardiovascular events by 13%. “We’re very pleased with the results,†said study chair Dr. Steven Nissen, chief academic officer of the Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute at Cleveland Clinic, in Ohio. “People who couldn’t tolerate a statin did tolerate bempedoic acid and had a very good outcome. We are glad that we were able to demonstrate this level of efficacy on the outcomes that really matter to patients.â€The trial was the first to assess whether bempedoic acid could reduce poor cardiovascular outcomes.The researchers enrolled more than 14,000 patients between...
President Biden Has Skin Cancer Removed From Chest, No Further Treatment Needed
6 March 2023
MONDAY, March 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) – A lesion that was found and removed from President Joe Biden’s chest during his recent physical was determined to be a common type of skin cancer known as basal cell carcinoma.“All cancerous tissue was successfully removed,†the president’s doctor, Kevin O’Connor, wrote in a letter to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.Biden will only need to continue “dermatological surveillance,†O’Connor noted.Basal cell carcinoma can often look like discoloration and scaling. It can also cause ulceration and sores. Though the cancer can spread to internal organs and become more serious or deadly, many people have small lesions removed each year to prevent any spread and complications.“Basal cell carcinoma lesions do not tend...
Though Often Prescribed, Diuretic Pills May Not Prevent Kidney Stones
6 March 2023
MONDAY, March 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new study is raising questions about the effectiveness of medications long used to prevent painful kidney stones, but experts say there's no reason for patients to toss their prescriptions out at this point.Anyone who has ever passed a kidney stone would prefer to avoid a repeat experience. And for many years, doctors have prescribed thiazide diuretics as one preventive tactic.Based on studies done decades ago, the cheap medications became a cornerstone of thwarting recurrences in people who have calcium-based kidney stones (as most stones are).But a new clinical trial, published March 2 in the New England Journal of Medicine, has come to a surprising conclusion: Thiazide diuretics may work no better than a placebo.Swiss researchers found...
