US to Allow Medicaid to Pay for Drug Treatment in Prisons
22 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Soon, the federal government will allow states to use Medicaid funds to treat prisoners for drug addiction and mental health services. In an announcement made during a visit to the Camden County Jail in New Jersey on Tuesday, Dr. Rahul Gupta, director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, said states are being encouraged to submit proposals for how they would like to use that money, the Associated Press reported.But the government will require that mental health and drug treatment be offered as part of allowing Medicaid funds in jails and prisons, the AP reported.“Treating substance abuse disorder in prison and jails is smart,†Gupta said.Gupta said the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will release...
Mpox Can Be Fatal for People With Advanced HIV
22 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) – The mpox virus -- formerly known as monkeypox -- often causes severe illness and death in those with advanced HIV infection that is not under control, researchers report.What does that mean? All people diagnosed with mpox should also be tested for HIV, the investigators said.The international collaboration of scientists also recommends that the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention add this strain of mpox to its list of severe infections considered particularly dangerous to people with advanced HIV disease.“Currently, there is a list of fourteen infections which behave differently and are particularly dangerous to immunosuppressed people with advanced HIV infection. These are called...
Rectal Pill May Give Days-Long Protection Against HIV: Study
22 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 21, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Could a quick-dissolving pill placed in the rectum prove to be an effective and safe “on-demand†way to prevent HIV infection among sexually active men and women? It might, new research indicates.The experimental form of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is designed to be placed directly into either the rectum or the vagina. In the new study, conducted among 21 men and women, it delivered high levels of protective antiretroviral drugs for up to three days following a single insertion in the rectum, with negligible side effects. Previous research has already tested inserting the pill into the vagina.Still, the finding is preliminary. And importantly, investigators have not yet run tests to see if the delivery method actually prevents HIV...
Alcohol Might Speed Alzheimer's Progress in Brain, Animal Study Suggests
22 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Even modest drinking can speed up the loss of brain cells and formation of the plaques that are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, research in mice shows.These plaques are an accumulation of toxic proteins.“These findings suggest alcohol might accelerate the pathological cascade of Alzheimer’s disease in its early stages,†said study co-author Shannon Macauley. She is an associate professor of physiology and pharmacology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, N.C.About 60% to 80% of dementia cases are Alzheimer’s disease, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.For the new study, researchers used a 10-week chronic drinking approach where mice were given the choice to drink water or alcohol. This mimics...
Breathing Exercises Might Speed Concussion Recovery in Teens
22 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Combining breathing exercises with gradual aerobic activity may benefit teens who are recovering slowly from a concussion.New research found that while the two therapies each offer benefits, together they led to even greater improvement in thinking and memory skills, depression and mood.The findings are scheduled for presentation in Boston and online at the meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, April 22 to 27. “When someone has a concussion, it can affect the body’s autonomic nervous system, and it is increasingly clear that this underlies the inability to tolerate exercise, problems with thinking skills and mood issues in those with persisting symptoms,†said study author R. Davis Moore, an assistant professor of exercise...
21 Genes Could Link Midlife Obesity & Alzheimer's Risk
22 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new study links obesity with 21 Alzheimer’s disease-related genes.This may help explain why Alzheimer’s is often more frequent among adults who experienced obesity in midlife, according to researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.To study this, the investigators used data from more than 5,600 participants in the long-running Framingham Heart Study to analyze 74 Alzheimer’s-related genes.Of those genes, 21 were either underexpressed or overexpressed in obesity, the research team found. Gene expression refers to the process by which information encoded in a gene is turned into a body function.The researchers found that 13 Alzheimer’s-related genes were associated with body mass index (BMI), an...
U.S. Deaths Involving Meth Are Skyrocketing, Fentanyl a Big Factor
21 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 21, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Deaths from methamphetamine among Americans increased 50-fold between 1999 and 2021, a chilling new study reports.Most of these deaths also involved heroin or fentanyl, according to researchers."The staggering increase in methamphetamine-related deaths in the United States is largely now driven by the co-involvement of street opioids," said lead researcher Rachel Hoopsick, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign."Mixing methamphetamine and opioids isn’t a new phenomenon," she said. "Although there has been an increase in the popularity of using these types of substances together, what has truly changed is the toxicity of the unregulated street drug supply, predominantly of fentanyl and other...
