Daily Marijuana Use Now Linked to Heart Risks
MONDAY, Feb. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- New research suggests that smoking weed is far from benign: Toking every day might raise your odds of heart disease.The increased risk is not insignificant. Daily marijuana users are about one-third more likely to develop coronary artery disease, compared with people who have never used the drug, researchers say. Marijuana is becoming more widely available and its link with heart disease is concerning, lead researcher Dr. Ishan Paranjpe, a resident at Stanford University in California, said during a media briefing on the findings."Cannabis potency has actually increased over the past couple of decades," Paranjpe said. "From a public policy standpoint, it's now legalized in 39 states and there's a very large legal cannabis market as well. From a...
CDC Warns of Rise of Drug-Resistant Shigella Bacteria
27 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Public health officials are warning about an increase in drug-resistant strains of the bacteria shigella.About 5% of shigella infections reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year were caused by the drug-resistant XDR strain. That compares to 0% in 2015.Limited treatment options exist for people infected with XDR strains. The bacteria are easily transmissible and can spread their antimicrobial resistance genes to other bacteria.The CDC urged health care workers to be vigilant about reporting cases of XDR shigella to their local or state health departments.Shigellosis affects the intestines, typically causing inflammatory diarrhea that may be bloody. Symptoms can also include fever and abdominal cramping.Shigella...
Insomnia Brings Big Spike in Heart Attack Risk: Study
27 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Folks who have trouble falling or staying asleep may be more likely to have a heart attack.This is the main takeaway from new research linking insomnia to heart woes. Specifically, people with insomnia were 69% more likely to have a heart attack than folks without the sleep disorder. These rates were even higher among people with both diabetes and insomnia, the study showed.“Insomnia puts the body under stress which triggers [the stress hormone] cortisol release and can accelerate atherosclerosis,†said study author Yomna Dean, a medical student at Alexandria University in Alexandria, Egypt. Atherosclerosis refers to the buildup of plaque in and on the artery walls that can set the stage for a heart attack.The findings were published Feb....

Unraveling the Link Between Menstrual Cycles and Migraine
27 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Many women experience blinding migraine headaches around their monthly period, and now researchers have a clue about why.Levels of the female hormone estrogen fluctuate during menstruation, which may lead to increases in calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). This protein widens blood vessels in the brain, which is part of the cascade of events that cause migraines.“Women with migraine had higher CGRP levels in the blood and tear fluid during menstruation than women without migraine,†said study leader Dr. Bianca Raffaelli, a neurology resident at Charité–University Medicine Berlin in Germany. She is also a fellow with the Clinician Scientist Program jointly operated by Charité and the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité.More...
Is Obesity Especially Dangerous for Women at Genetic Risk for Breast Cancer?
27 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Certain gene mutations put women at high risk of breast cancer, and now an early study hints that obesity might make matters worse.The findings come from a study of breast tissue samples from women who carried particular mutations in genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2 — which convey much higher-than-normal risks of both breast and ovarian cancers.The researchers found that among women who were obese, healthy breast tissue showed more signs of DNA damage that can promote cancer.The findings, published Feb. 22 in the journal Science Translational Medicine, do not prove that obesity exacerbates the already high breast cancer risk in women who carry BRCA mutations.But they do raise that possibility, according to senior researcher Kristy Brown, an...
