Humans Outperform AI in Interpreting Chest X-Rays
TUESDAY, Sept. 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- AI tools may help boost radiologists’ confidence in their diagnoses, but they can't be relied on to identify common lung diseases on chest X-rays, a new study says.Researchers pitted 72 radiologists against four commercially AI tools in an analysis of more than 2,000 X-rays. The human experts won, according to results published Sept. 25 in Radiology. “Chest radiography is a common diagnostic tool, but significant training and experience is required to interpret exams correctly,†said lead researcher Dr. Louis Plesner, resident radiologist and PhD fellow in radiology at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark.“While AI tools are increasingly being approved for use in radiological departments, there is an unmet need to...
About 1 in 14 U.S. Adults Have Had Long COVID
26 September 2023
TUESDAY, Sept. 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- One in every 14 American adults has suffered from long COVID, a new federal survey has found.About 7% of adults have ever had long COVID and more than 3% still have it, according to the 2022 National Health Interview Survey.The survey, published Tuesday as an NCHS Data Brief, also found that certain groups are more likely to develop long COVID -- women, young adults, the less wealthy and people living in rural areas or small towns.Children have been much less likely to develop the syndrome, the survey found. A little more than 1% of all U.S. children have ever had long COVID, and about half a percent continue to have it.Long COVID involves clusters of different symptoms that affect different parts of the body. These symptoms can include...
Strike a Pose: Yoga Helps Heart Failure Patients
26 September 2023
TUESDAY, Sept. 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Heart failure can make everyday activities and exercise tough to carry out, but yoga might be a beneficial add-on to standard care.A new study from India finds this ancient practice improves quality of life and cardio functioning.“Our patients observed improvement in systolic blood pressure and heart rate compared to patients who were on medication without yoga,†said lead study author Ajit Singh, a research scientist at Manipal Academy of Higher Education. (Systolic blood pressure is the first number in a blood pressure reading.)In heart failure, the heart muscle is either too weak or too stiff to pump properly. This can lead to fluid buildup, shortness of breath and other complications.How might yoga help?“Yoga is a combination of...
Stigma, Even Harm Common When Transgender People Meet...
26 September 2023
TUESDAY, Sept. 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Transgender people have a tough time receiving adequate medical care due to issues like voyeurism, being treated as abnormal and even being denied care due to their gender identity, a new study finds. “I would say what I read was not surprising at all, based on things I have heard from trans members,†said Tari Hanneman, director of the Health and Aging Program at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. She reviewed the findings, but was not involved with the study. “I've heard stories of patients basically being treated as a medical oddity," Hanneman said. "I've even heard horror stories of some residents or medical students taking photographs and things like that, that are just completely inappropriate.â€The study aimed to understand...
Buying Marijuana Online Easy for Minors, Study Finds
26 September 2023
TUESDAY, Sept. 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) – The lax enforcement of age limits by many online marijuana dispensaries makes it easier for minors to buy weed, claims new research that looked at online weed sales in 32 states.“It is imperative to require strict age-verification procedures prior to cannabis purchases online and to establish stringent surveillance of online marijuana dispensaries to protect youth,†wrote the authors of the new study, published Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics.The authors looked at age-verification policies and other practices of 80 online dispensaries. About 18.8% of dispensaries “required no formal age verification at any stage of the purchasing process,†according to the study.Meanwhile, more than 80% accepted “non-traceable†payment...
Common Plastics Chemical Tied to Higher Odds for Postpartum Depression
26 September 2023
TUESDAY, Sept. 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Moms with higher prenatal levels of plastics chemicals known as phthalates may face a slightly increased risk of postpartum depression, according to a new study.Postpartum depression affects up to 20% of new mothers, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health. That makes it the most common post-delivery pregnancy complication. The NIH’s Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) program set out to examine how chemicals commonly found in plastics and personal care products, including phenols, phthalates and parabens, might play a role in postpartum depression. Exposure to these chemicals can affect hormone levels, and exposure is common through diet, absorbing them through the skin and inhalation. Researchers found...
Climate Change's Hotter Days Could Bring More Alcohol, Drug Crises
26 September 2023
TUESDAY, Sept. 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Sweltering temperatures appear to fuel drug-related hospital visits, a problem that could be worsening with climate change, a new study suggests.“We saw that during periods of higher temperatures, there was a corresponding increase in hospital visits related to alcohol and substance use, which also brings attention to some less obvious potential consequences of climate change,†said first study author Robbie Parks. He is an assistant professor of environmental health sciences at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, in New York City.The study noted an increasing trend of heavy episodic drinking and alcohol-related deaths and disease in the United States, especially in middle-aged and older adults, in recent decades....
Experiment Shows Many Seniors Falling Prey to 'Impostor Scams'
25 September 2023
MONDAY, Sept. 25, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Many older adults are savvy about telephone scams, but a sizable minority remain vulnerable, a new study suggests.Researchers found that when they simulated a "government impersonation" scam -- contacting seniors and pretending to be federal employees -- over two-thirds knew how to handle the situation: They ignored it.The rest, however, "engaged" with the "scammer." They either called an 800 number sent to them by mail or email, or answered a call from the fictional government agency the researchers devised.In some cases, those seniors still maintained a healthy dose of skepticism and did not give away personal information.Some others, though, were not so guarded: Over 16% either did not question the legitimacy of the phony agency, confirmed...
