Cats, Dogs 'Part of the Family' for Most American Pet Owners: Poll
FRIDAY, March 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It won’t come as a surprise to those who love their furry friends, but a new poll finds many Americans saying their pets offer them mental health benefits and are a part of the family.Roughly 86% of cat and dog owners said their pets had a positive impact on their well-being, the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) Healthy Minds Monthly Poll found. Owners of fish, birds and turtles were less likely to say so, at 62%. Still, about 88% of all pet owners said their animals were part of their family.“People recognize that there is something special about bonds between humans and their pets,†said APA President Dr. Rebecca Brendel. “The animals we bring into our lives and our families play many roles, from nonjudgmental companions...

3 March 2023
FRIDAY, March 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Locking up firearms can help prevent injury and death, yet a majority of gun owners say they keep at least one gun unlocked in case of emergency.Rutgers University researchers surveyed more than 2,100 adult gun owners about gun storage, types of locking devices and locking mechanisms.The survey found that 58% store at least one firearm unlocked and hidden. Another 18% store at least one firearm unlocked and unhidden.When firearm owners lock at least one gun, most use a gun safe. In all, 32% said they used a device opened by key, PIN code or dial lock, and 16% used biometric devices. In general, biometric devices rely on characteristics such fingerprints or facial features to identify a user.“These findings highlight two key points,†said...
Two Bird Flu Cases in Cambodia Did Not Spread...
2 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Two cases of bird flu in Cambodia, in a girl and her father, were not spread from one to the other.Both got the virus from poultry, according to health officials, easing concerns about a potential public health crisis, the Associated Press reported.The 11-year-old girl died Feb. 22 at a hospital in the capital, Phnom Penh. She was from the southeastern province of Prey Veng.Shortly before her death, the girl tested positive for type A H5N1 bird flu, the AP reported.Her father tested positive the day after her death. AP reported that he was isolated until he had no strong symptoms and three negative tests, then released.Cambodia's Health Ministry said both had “been infected from poultry at their village, and there is no indication or...
AHA News: Doing These 8 Things May Greatly Lower Risk...
2 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 2, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- People who strongly adhere to a set of eight lifestyle behaviors and heart-health metrics may have a lower risk for coronary heart disease and stroke than those who don't, new research shows – especially women, younger adults and people with a lower genetic predisposition to heart disease.The study also found that adhering to Life's Essential 8 – key measures identified by the American Heart Association to improve and maintain good cardiovascular health – was better at predicting cardiovascular risks than Life's Simple 7, an earlier set of heart-health metrics that did not include sleep."Sleep health may hold great potential for improving cardiovascular health among the general population," said lead study author Dr....
70 or Older? An Extra 500 Steps a Day Could Do Wonders for Your Heart
2 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While the idea of getting 10,000 steps a day is bandied about as a good walking goal, that can be intimidating to some people, depending on how fit they are. Now, new research in adults between the ages of 70 and 90 finds that a much smaller number of steps can make a difference in heart health. It’s possible, according to researchers, that just 3,000 steps a day has benefits for heart health, and adding increments of just 500 more steps can also make a big difference.“Walking, I think, is just such a great activity that we can encourage people to do,†said study author Erin Dooley, an assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Alabama's School of Public Health. “Getting up throughout the day and...
COVID Lockdowns Linked to Decline in Premature Births
2 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Premature births dropped during lockdowns in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. A groundbreaking study, which included a group of mostly high-income countries — including the United States, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Denmark and Switzerland — found there were about 4% fewer preterm births than would have been expected in spring 2020.That’s nearly 50,000 babies not born early in just one month alone, The New York Times reported.“This is a unique natural experiment, where the whole world experienced this pretty drastic lockdown at the same time,†said one of the study leaders, Meghan Azad, an associate professor of pediatrics and child health at the University of Manitoba. “So, it was a neat opportunity to look at what that...
Embolization Treatment Could Offer Drug-Free Relief From Enlarged Prostate
2 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Men suffering from an enlarged prostate can receive long-term relief from a minimally invasive procedure that partially blocks blood flow to the gland, new research reports.The procedure, called prostate artery embolization (PAE), dramatically improved urinary symptoms in patients without having any effect on erectile function, said senior researcher Dr. Shivank Bhatia, chair of interventional radiology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.PAE also improved the overall health of the prostate, Bhatia added.“Medical imaging before and after the procedure showed a 32% reduction in size of the prostate gland at 12 months following the procedure,†Bhatia said.“Additionally, the PSA [prostate-specific antigen] lab values...
Long COVID Patients Show Lower Levels of Brain Oxygen
2 March 2023
THURSDAY, March 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- People who have long COVID — lingering symptoms after a COVID-19 infection — may also have lower brain oxygen levels, cognitive problems and psychiatric troubles, such as anxiety and depression.Researchers from the University of Waterloo in Canada and Drexel University in Philadelphia combined two parallel studies to better understand what is happening in long COVID patients.One was a lab study that included tests of thinking skills and imaging of oxygen levels in the brain. The other was a national population survey of Canadians in 2021 and 2022.The lab study compared people who did not previously have symptomatic COVID-19 with those who did have the virus. Those who had experienced COVID-19 did worse on two computer tasks. One measured...
