Sen. John Fetterman Enters Hospital for Treatment of Clinical Depression
FRIDAY, Feb. 17, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Sen. John Fetterman is being treated for clinical depression at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.“While John has experienced depression off and on throughout his life, it only became severe in recent weeks,†Fetterman's chief of staff Adam Jentleson said in a statement.The Pennsylvania Democrat checked himself into the hospital on Wednesday night, Jentleson added. Fetterman survived a near-fatal stroke last year while he was campaigning for the Senate seat he now holds. Just last week, the first-term senator was hospitalized at George Washington University Hospital after feeling lightheaded during a Senate Democratic retreat. At that time, Fetterman was in the stroke unit for two days, where he underwent various tests including...
Bruce Willis Diagnosed With Frontotemporal Dementia
17 February 2023
FRIDAY, Feb. 17, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Actor Bruce Willis’ health issues have worsened, his family announced Thursday, revealing that he has now been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. The condition typically starts between the ages of 45 and 65 and is the most common form of dementia for people under 60, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Willis is 67.Willis’ family had first announced last March that he had been diagnosed with aphasia, which affects a person’s ability to communicate. While aphasia typically happens after a stroke or head injury, it can also start gradually because of a degenerative brain disease."Since we announced Bruce's diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce's condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal...
Scrolling, Staring at Screens Could Give You 'Tech Neck'
17 February 2023
FRIDAY, Feb. 17, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- If you spend hours a day scrolling on your smartphone or tablet, you might get "tech neck."“Humans are upright creatures, and our bodies aren’t designed to look down for long periods of time, which puts extra pressure on the cervical spine,†said Dr. Kavita Trivedi, associate medical director of the Spine Center at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.Americans spend about five hours a day on their cellphones and more on laptops and computers, Trivedi noted in a university news release.As a result, people can experience muscle stiffness, joint inflammation, pinched nerves, arthritis, and even bone spurs or herniated discs.A typical adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds. Bending it at a 45-degree angle increases the force on the neck to...
People Get More REM Sleep During the Winter
17 February 2023
FRIDAY, Feb. 17, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The changes in temperature and daylight brought by winter may make a person feel like hibernating.It turns out that humans do get longer REM sleep in wintertime and less deep sleep in autumn, even in an urban setting, German researchers reported Feb 17 in Frontiers in Neuroscience. REM sleep is the stage when vivid dreams occur; it is not the deepest sleep.“Possibly one of the most precious achievements in human evolution is an almost invisibility of seasonality on the behavioral level,†said study author Dr. Dieter Kunz, who is based at the Clinic for Sleep and Chronomedicine at St. Hedwig Hospital in Berlin. “In our study we show that human sleep architecture varies substantially across seasons in an adult population living in an urban...
Two Vaccines May Soon Shield Seniors Against RSV
16 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Older people have vaccines available to prevent severe influenza and COVID-19, but there’s been nothing to protect against the third respiratory virus that contributed to this season’s wretched “triple-demic.â€Until now.Two major pharmaceutical companies published clinical trial results this week that pave the way for an RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) vaccine to be available for adults by the time next cold and flu season rolls around.“RSV continues to be the last of the major winter respiratory viruses for which we don't have a vaccine, but as these two articles in the New England Journal of Medicine indicate, we're getting close,†said Dr. William Schaffner. He is medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious...

16 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- American adults who have no health insurance or those who are underinsured will still be able to get free COVID vaccines from Moderna, even after government-purchased supplies run out, the company announced Monday."Moderna's COVID-19 vaccines will continue to be available at no cost for insured people whether they receive them at their doctors' offices or local pharmacies. For uninsured or underinsured people, Moderna's patient assistance program will provide COVID-19 vaccines at no cost," the company said in a statement. "Everyone in the United States will have access to Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine regardless of their ability to pay."While uninsured and underinsured children already will receive free COVID vaccines as part of the U.S....
Scabies: What It Is, Symptoms, Treatment & More
16 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Talk about the stuff of nightmares. You have extremely itchy skin at bedtime, not to mention a pimple-like rash. What is it?Those are fairly clear signs of scabies, a microscopic parasitic infestation where mites burrow under your skin and lay eggs there.Scabies infection comes from prolonged contact, not just a quick brush against someone else’s skin. It can also be passed through bedding or clothing.“Anyone who is diagnosed with scabies, as well as his or her sexual partners and other contacts who have had prolonged skin-to-skin contact with the infested person, should be treated,†the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises.What is scabies?This “human itch mite†lives and lays eggs in the upper layer of the skin,...
AHA News: To Make History, a Major Study on Black Heart Health Looked Beyond the Lab
16 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 16, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- A quarter-century ago, the foundations were laid for the Jackson Heart Study, one of the most significant research efforts in the history of heart health.As the largest single-site study of Black people's heart health ever undertaken, it would eventually spawn more than 800 scientific papers and provide critical insights on genetics, prevention and more, based on examinations of thousands of Black men and women living in and around Jackson, Mississippi.But before the study could make scientific history, it had to confront issues that went far beyond the lab, say people who shaped the study."We did focus on much more than looking through a microscope at something," said Frances Henderson, who started working with the study in...
