New Jersey's '5-Day Rule' Didn't Curb Opioid Use
FRIDAY, Feb. 24, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While many opioid policies in New Jersey have worked to combat misuse of the drugs, one that limited the length of prescriptions did not have its intended effect, new research shows. The legislation capped initial opioid prescriptions for acute pain at just five days. Investigators from Rutgers University in New Jersey analyzed Medicaid records. They found that the number of people who progressed from short-term to long-term opioid use did not decline after the law went into effect.While the new law may have cut down on leftover opioids available for misuse, it also meant that more patients needed to return to their doctors to get additional prescriptions. Researchers noted that the number of total new prescriptions fell at a rate of 0.76 per...
Millions of Americans Missed Vital Cancer Screenings in...
24 February 2023
FRIDAY, Feb. 24, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Cancer screening rates were down again during 2021, the second year of the pandemic.The number of women having cervical cancer screening dropped 4.4 million in 2021 compared to 2019, according to a study by the American Cancer Society (ACS). About 1.1 million fewer women were screened for breast cancer and about 700,000 fewer men were screened for prostate cancer.“The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a detrimental effect on important cancer screenings in this country,†lead author Jessica Star, an associate scientist at the ACS, said in an ACS news release. “It's critical to get people back into their doctor’s offices to help prevent and catch cancer at its earliest stages, when it might be easiest to treat.â€In the study, her team...
Lifelong Bachelors Fare Worse When Heart Failure Strikes
23 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 23, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When heart failure strikes, being a lifelong bachelor may mean you might die sooner than women or previously married men diagnosed with the same condition, a new study suggests. Lifetime marital history appears to be an important predictor of survival in men with heart failure, but not women. Specifically, lifelong bachelors had significantly worse long-term survival than men who had been married, separated, divorced or widowed, said senior researcher Dr. David Kao, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora. In contrast, women with heart failure who had never been married did not appear to be at higher risk of death than those who had, he added. "These findings suggest that marriage has some...
Noninvasive Ultrasound Brain Treatment Might Help Slow...
23 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 23, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A noninvasive treatment that heats specific areas of brain tissue may ease movement symptoms in some people with Parkinson's disease, a clinical trial has found.The study tested the effects of an incision-free procedure called focused ultrasound ablation, where doctors use sound waves to heat and destroy specific spots of brain tissue contributing to movement problems.It has been used for several years to treat some patients with Parkinson's disease whose primary symptom is tremor in the limbs.This latest trial aimed to treat a different group of patients: those troubled by dyskinesias -- a side effect of Parkinson's medications that causes the body to twitch or jerk involuntarily; and those who were still having movement problems between...
Getting a Good Night's Sleep Can Add Years to Your Life
23 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 23, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Getting good sleep may have long-term benefits -- even extending your life span, a new study suggests.Researchers found that young people with better sleep habits were incrementally less likely to die early. About 8% of deaths from any cause could be attributed to poor sleep patterns.Study co-author Dr. Frank Qian, a resident at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and clinical fellow at Harvard Medical School, said his team found a "clear dose-response relationship." Simply put: The better the sleep, the greater the protection from early death from all causes, including heart disease.“These findings emphasize that just getting enough hours of sleep isn’t sufficient," Qian said in an American College of Cardiology news release....

Here’s a breakdown of what emergency contraception is, the different types that are available, the side effects you may experience, and how emergency contraception works.

Cutting Down on Social Media Brings Quick Boost to Teens' Self-Image
23 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 23, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- All those images of beautiful-looking people on social media can deflate a young person's self-image, but there may be an easy fix: limiting time spent on TikTok, Instagram and the like.A new Canadian study finds that teens and young adults who already had symptoms of anxiety or depression and who cut their social media usage by about 50% experienced a significant improvement in how they felt about their overall appearance in just a few weeks. They also felt better about their weight.“I don't think it completely surprised me,†said study co-author Helen Thai, a PhD student in the psychology department at McGill University in Montreal.Past research on traditional media and the impact of unattainable beauty and body ideals has obtained...
