28 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 28, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Sen. John Fetterman will continue to be away from the U.S. Senate for several weeks but he is on the "path to recovery," his spokesman said Monday.The senator is being treated for clinical depression at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after checking himself in on Feb. 15. “We understand the intense interest in John’s status and especially appreciate the flood of well-wishes,†Fetterman’s communications director, Joe Calvello, said in a statement posted on Twitter. “However, as we have said, this will be a weeks-long process and while we will be sure to keep folks updated as it progresses, this is all there is to give by way of an update.â€The Pennsylvania Democrat has been struggling with the aftereffects of a stroke...
Too Few Americans With Diabetes Are Getting Recommended Meds
28 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 28, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Most Americans with type 2 diabetes are candidates for newer, pricey medications, but few are getting them, a new government study shows.Researchers found that of U.S. adults with the blood sugar disease, over 80% could stand to benefit from the medications, based on recommendations from the American Diabetes Association (ADA). But only 10% of those people were actually taking the drugs in recent years.It's not clear why. The researchers, from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the point of the study was to get a handle on where things stand: How many Americans meet the latest criteria for the diabetes drugs, and how many are already using them."It's critical that we continue to study the best ways to manage type 2...
Take These 7 Healthy Steps to Lower Your Odds for Dementia
28 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 28, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- If it’s good for your heart, it’s good for your brain, too.This is the main message from a new study showing that seven heart-healthy habits can lower your chances of developing dementia down the road. This list includes being active, eating better, maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, having healthy blood pressure, controlling cholesterol, and keeping blood sugar (or "glucose") levels in the normal range.Exactly how these healthy habits lower risk for dementia isn’t fully understood, but they likely all work together, said study author Pamela Rist, an associate epidemiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in Boston.“There are lots of health benefits from eating a healthy diet and getting regular physical activity including...
Breast Cancer Genes Raise Risks for Older Women, Too
28 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 28, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Though BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations are associated with breast and ovarian cancer in younger women, those over 50 continue to have a high risk of breast cancer.That’s true even if they didn’t have breast cancer earlier, new research shows.“What is striking about our results is that breast and ovarian cancers were the most frequently observed cancers occurring and that is concerning, considering we know how to reduce the risk of cancer in women who have these genetic risk factors,†said study leader Kelly Metcalfe, a professor on the University of Toronto faculty of nursing.To study this, her team followed more than 2,200 women between 50 and 75 years of age from 16 countries. These women were aware they had a BRCA mutation and had no...
U.S. Pedestrian Deaths Keep Rising
28 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 28, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Pedestrian deaths have surged on U.S. roads in recent years, and they are climbing again.Pedestrian deaths hit a 40-year high in 2021, and numbers for the first half of 2022 were up about 5% over the same period in 2021, according to a new Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) analysis.It cites a variety of contributors, including heavier vehicles that are more likely to injure or kill people on foot. Roads, meanwhile, are designed to prioritize fast-moving traffic over the slower speeds that are safer for pedestrians, according to the GHSA.Many parts of the United States lack adequate sidewalks, crosswalks and lighting, the group noted.In addition, dangerous driving surged at the start of the pandemic and has not abated.“There is a...
You Can't Trust Sleep Advice Found on YouTube: Study
28 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 28, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- If you’re struggling to find ways to get a good night’s sleep, you may not want to use YouTube videos as a resource.Researchers found what they described as an alarming amount of medical misinformation in YouTube videos about sleep disorders."What's tricky is that so much of health information is very nuanced, and a lot of popular YouTube videos have clickbait and appeal to shorter attention spans," said lead study author Rebecca Robbins. She is an instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School and investigator in the division of sleep and circadian disorders at Brigham and Women's Hospital, in Boston. "People today often want very bite-sized pieces of information. However, science is fundamentally more nuanced than a one-liner or the...

27 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Work isn’t always easy, but sometimes it becomes almost unbearable. You might experience a constellation of symptoms, including emotional exhaustion, a reduced sense of personal accomplishment and cynicism, which affects how you interact with others in the workplace.This is a condition known as burnout and though it’s not listed in the diagnostic manual used by psychiatrists, it is a workplace-associated condition, according to the World Health Organization, said Dr. Jessi Gold, a member of the American Psychiatric Association’s Council on Communications. “There are lots of reasons why it happens. It depends on the person and how work is impacting them,†said Gold, who is also an assistant professor of psychiatry at Washington...
