Bed Rails Can Help and Harm: FDA Gives Guidance
WEDNESDAY, March 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While adult bed rails are marketed with safety in mind, they need to be used with caution, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration advises."Many death and injury reports related to entrapment and falls for adult portable bed rail products and hospital bed rails have been reported to the FDA and the CPSC [U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission]," the FDA said in a new webpage.Use bed rails with care, especially with older adults and people with altered mental status, physical limitations and certain medical conditions, the FDA advised.The FDA regulates bedrails that are sold for medical purposes. These might be used to help someone who is disabled, injured or recovering from surgery to transfer in and out of bed, and reduce the risk of falling...
AHA News: For Black Churchgoers in New Orleans,...
1 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 1, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Members of Black churches in New Orleans who believe religion plays an important role in their health may be more likely to eat fruits and vegetables, be physically active and have confidence asking questions of health care providers than their peers who don't share that belief, new research finds.The research, presented Tuesday at the American Heart Association's Epidemiology, Prevention, Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health conference in Boston, highlights the potential role Black churches may play in improving cardiovascular and other chronic health conditions among communities facing a disproportionately higher risk. The findings are considered preliminary until full results are published in a peer-reviewed...
Vaping Tobacco or Weed Appears Tied to Higher Anxiety in...
1 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- For decades, people turned to cigarettes in times of stress. Now, a preliminary study hints that young people are using vaping in the same way.The study, of nearly 2,000 U.S. teenagers and young adults, found that those who vaped nicotine or marijuana were more likely to report anxiety, depression or suicidal thoughts. In fact, a majority of vapers said they'd suffered anxiety or depression symptoms in the past week, while over half had contemplated suicide in the past year.The findings leave open the chicken-and-egg question."One of the challenges is in teasing out the cause and effect," said Loren Wold, a professor in the Colleges of Nursing and Medicine at Ohio State University.Many of the young people surveyed explicitly said they'd...
Getting Rehab at Home After Heart Attack Can Extend Lives
1 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- After a heart attack, home rehab can literally be a lifesaver, a new study finds. Taking part in a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program lowered the risk of dying from heart complications by 36% within four years, compared with patients who were not in a rehab program, researchers report."Cardiac rehabilitation programs save lives," said lead researcher Dr. Mary Whooley, a professor of medicine, epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco. According to the American Heart Association, which stresses the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack in preventing rehospitalization and deaths, rehab is greatly underused -- with only about 44% of patients opting for it. Cardiac rehabilitation...
FDA Panel Backs Pfizer's RSV Vaccine for Older Americans
1 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- In a tight vote, U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisors on Tuesday recommended the approval of an RSV vaccine that could be used in Americans ages 60 and up. The vaccine, known as RENOIR, was developed by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc. The same panel of advisors will weigh the potential approval of another respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, this one from GlaxoSmithKline, on Wednesday."In older adults, RSV can result in serious illness, hospitalization, or even death, so there is a significant need to protect this at-risk population,†Annaliesa Anderson, senior vice president and chief scientific officer for vaccine research and development at Pfizer, said in a news release announcing the panel decision. “We are encouraged...
AHA News: Mediterranean Lifestyle, Not Just Diet, May Greatly Improve Health
1 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 1, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Much is known about the heart-health benefits of adopting a Mediterranean-style diet, with its heavy focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, fish and healthy oils. But what about the rest of the Mediterranean lifestyle?Short of lounging on the beaches of southern Italy or an island in Greece, could adopting the focus on relaxed, familial dining, afternoon naps and strong communal bonds also improve health?A group of researchers explored what would happen if middle-aged and older British adults – who live about 1,500 miles northwest of the Mediterranean Sea and its convivial way of life – adopted not just the dietary but also the physical activity and social habits of their southern neighbors. And they found that the...
Loneliness a Key Factor in Postpartum Depression
1 March 2023
WEDNESDAY, March 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When expectant or new moms experience depression, known as perinatal depression, loneliness may be a driving factor.“We found that loneliness was central to the experiences of expectant and new mothers with depression. We know that depression and loneliness are often interconnected — each one can lead to the other — and this may be particularly true for perinatal depression [which includes postpartum depression],†said Dr. Katherine Adlington, an academic clinical fellow at UCL Psychiatry and East London NHS Foundation Trust.“Having a baby is a period of huge transition and upheaval that can involve losing touch with people and existing networks, such as work colleagues,†Adlington added in a University College London (UCL) news...
An Alzheimer's Drug Might Ease Hair-Pulling Disorder
28 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 28, 2023 (HealthDay Now) -- A long-established Alzheimer’s drug can help people with a disorder that causes them to compulsively pull at their hair or pick at their skin, a new clinical trial has concluded.Memantine considerably improved symptoms in 3 out of 5 patients with either trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder) or excoriation (skin-picking) disorder, researchers reported in the American Journal of Psychiatry.“I think it was encouraging that it helped reduce the behavior of picking and pulling, compared to a placebo,†said lead researcher Dr. Jon Grant, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience at the University of Chicago. “It gives me the idea that perhaps we're onto the right underlying mechanism that might be happening here.â€Hair-pulling...
