Fewer Surprise Bills: Most U.S. Hospitals Now Transparent on Prices
MONDAY, Feb. 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Shopping for cataract surgery, a heart valve replacement or a colonoscopy?You’re better able these days to compare what one hospital charges against the prices at another, according to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.A majority of hospitals are now complying with U.S. federal rules that require them to post the prices of their procedures, Medicare Director Dr. Meena Seshamani cowrote in a post for the journal Health Affairs.Only 27% of hospitals complied with new federal price transparency rules in 2021, but compliance leaped to 70% in 2022, Seshamani said.However, she said more progress is required, and health care consumer advocates agree.“Our 2022 analysis showed that after two years of these...
COVID Vaccine Bonus: Lower Heart Attack Risk If You Get...
20 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A COVID-19 shot may protect a person from more than the virus alone, new research suggests.Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City linked vaccination with fewer heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular issues among people who later got COVID-19.The investigators described their study as the first to examine both full and partial vaccination and the link to major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in the United States. It confirmed similar analyses done using the Korean COVID-19 registry.For the study, the researchers used data from a national database of more than 1.9 million COVID-19 patients. Nearly 218,000 had received mRNA vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna or viral vector technology from...
Bad Sleep Can Raise Heart Risks for Seniors
20 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Sticking to a consistent sleeping routine may help keep your arteries clear as you age, new research suggests.Conversely, older adults who slept for a varying number of hours each night and tended to fall asleep at different times were more likely to develop hardening of the arteries, which can lead to heart attack or stroke, the researchers reported."Sleep is super important to our overall health and well-being, and anything we can do to improve sleep will improve our [heart health] and overall well-being and happiness,†said study author Kelsie Full. She is an assistant professor of medicine in the division of epidemiology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn.The study wasn’t designed to show how sleep irregularity...
Many Parents Too Quick to Give Fever Meds to Kids: Poll
20 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It’s not always necessary to lower a child’s fever, but parents often do. A new poll from Michigan Medicine found that about one-third of parents reach for fever-reducing medicines too quickly. “Often parents worry about their child having a fever and want to do all they can to reduce their temperature. However, they may not be aware that in general the main reason to treat a fever is just to keep their child comfortable,†said Dr. Susan Woolford, co-director of the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health at University of Michigan Health, in Ann Arbor.“Some parents may immediately rush to give their kids medicine, but it’s often better to let the fever run its course,†Woolford said in a university...
Parkinson's Disease: What Is It, and What Are the Early Signs?
20 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A person seeing a barely noticeable tremor in one hand could be witnessing the first signs of Parkinson’s disease.This progressive condition affects the nervous system, according to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., which offers information about the disease.While tremors are common, Parkinson’s can also cause stiffness or slow movement.Medications can significantly improve a person’s symptoms. While the disease can’t be cured, surgery may help regulate certain regions of the brain and improve symptoms.In early stages, a person’s face may show little or no expression. Arms may not swing when someone walks. Speech may become soft or slurred. Symptoms can worsen as the condition progresses.They often begin on one side of the body....
Type 1 Diabetes and Use of 'Off-Label' Drugs: Benefits, but Concerns, Too
20 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While people with type 1 diabetes can see some benefit from newer medications prescribed off-label, there is also risk, and these patients should be monitored closely, according to a new study.Type 1 diabetes is universally treated with insulin injections, but only about one-fifth of patients achieve blood sugar control with it, the study authors noted.So, doctors are increasingly prescribing medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and/or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) for these patients.An autoimmune disease, type 1 diabetes destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. About 1.5 million Americans have the condition.In people with type 1 diabetes, their cells can’t take in glucose on...
Irregular Heartbeat: What Is It and How Do You Treat It?
17 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Many things can make your heart skip a beat — the words to a song, a case of the nerves or a near car accident — but these temporary palpitations aren't usually cause for concern. But much more serious, and sometimes deadly, things can throw off the heart’s rhythm, including dehydration, a history of heart disease or a heart defect. Medications, intense exertion or anxiety can also trigger heart rhythm changes, or arrhythmias.According to Dr. Mark Anderson of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, “the heart’s system is not unlike the electrical system in a car," which helps the car run properly. The electrical pulses keep the heart’s rhythm smooth and even, he explained in a recent article. But when the electric signals that...
CBD Could Worsen Effects of THC in Brownies, Other Products
17 February 2023
FRIDAY, Feb. 17, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- There's a popular notion that cannabidiol (CBD) can take the edge off the less pleasant effects of marijuana. But a new study suggests that, when it comes to edibles, the opposite is true.Researchers found that when they gave study volunteers a batch of pot brownies, the effects were as one would expect.The surprise came when they tested brownies laced with both THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) and CBD, a non-intoxicating extract of the marijuana plant: The combo brownies were substantially more impairing than those containing THC alone.Overall, they revved up people's heart rates to a greater degree, and caused bigger impairments in tests of memory and attention. And it was not in service of a "better" high: People also reported...
