'Top Gun' Study of Fighter Pilots Could Help Astronauts
THURSDAY, Feb. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new study finds brain changes in F16 fighter pilots, which could shed light on what happens to astronauts during space travel.The hope is that the study, published Feb. 15 in Frontiers in Physiology, will help scientists understand the effects of space flight on the brain, possibly helping improve training programs for pilots and astronauts.Previous research had suggested the brain might undergo structural and functional changes after astronaut training and space flight. That's because this work includes altered levels of gravity, rapid interpretation of sensory and visual stimuli and controlling a complex vehicle at extreme speeds.The brains of F16 fighter pilots are thought to have a lot in common with those of astronauts in terms of...
Why Instant Noodles Are a Danger to Your Kids
16 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Ramen danger: A steaming cup of instant noodles is a big cause of scald injuries in children, researchers report.A new study that examined pediatric admissions at University of Chicago Medicine for burn injuries caused by hot liquids found that nearly one-third were caused by instant noodles between 2010 and 2020.“Anecdotally, it felt like every other child we were consulted on for a burn was injured by instant noodles, so we wanted to dive into the data to see what the trend really was,†said senior author Dr. Sebastian Vrouwe, assistant professor of surgery at UChicago Medicine. “Our hope is to develop the groundwork for future burn prevention programming, as essentially all childhood burns are in some way preventable," he said in a...
Avoid These 15 Foods to Lower Your Salt Intake
16 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Americans eat too much salt and more than a dozen favorite and convenience foods are largely to blame.Nearly 90% of Americans exceed dietary guidelines for sodium intake, a risk factor for high blood pressure and heart disease.New research out of Canada put some familiar favorites at the top of the list.“The top 15 food category contributors to dietary sodium represent just over 50% of total dietary sodium intake for American adults, with pizza, breads, cold cuts, soups and burritos being the top five contributors," the study authors said in a news release from the Institute for the Advancement of Food and Nutrition Sciences.At the top of the list is pizza with 5.3% of total dietary sodium intake, followed by breads, rolls and buns at...
New Screen Might Spot More Cases of Hidden COPD
16 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Doctors could soon have a new tool to help diagnose chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).A questionnaire called CAPTURE successfully identified almost half of clinical trial participants who had moderate to severe forms of previously undiagnosed COPD, researchers report.“The goal with trying to find COPD is to treat it earlier, which will help make patients feel better and hopefully prevent their disease from progressing,†said principal investigator Dr. Fernando Martinez, chief of the pulmonary and critical care medicine division at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City.More than 15 million Americans have been diagnosed with COPD, and experts think millions more have it but don’t know it. COPD is a leading cause of death in...
FDA Panel Says Opioid Overdose Antidote Safe to Sell Over-the-Counter
16 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A nasal spray that can reverse an opioid overdose should be sold over-the-counter, two expert panels to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended Wednesday.Research has shown that wider availability of naloxone -- brand named Narcan -- could save lives as the opioid epidemic rages on in this country.The FDA advisors voted unanimously in favor of making the drug easier to access after a daylong meeting that focused on whether untrained users would be able to safely and effectively use the nasal spray in emergencies, the Associated Press reported.The recommendation came despite concerns from some panel members about the clarity of the drug’s instructions and packaging, which caused confusion among some people in a company study. The...
Getting COVID Boosts Odds for Diabetes in Unvaccinated
15 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A COVID infection appears to drive up diabetes risk, new research warns.The good news? Being vaccinated before becoming infected appeared to eliminate any increase in post-infection risk.The finding follows a deep dive into the medical records of roughly 23,700 patients. At an average age of 47, all were treated for COVID infection at Cedars-Sinai Health System in Los Angeles at some point between 2020 and 2022.Overall, having had COVID appeared tied to a 58% rise in a person's odds of developing diabetes afterwards, the study found.Still, the risk to any one patient of getting the blood sugar disease remained low: The investigators found that just over 2% had diabetes within three months after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Notably, only 3...
FDA Panel Considers Making Opioid Antidote Drug Available Without Prescription
15 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A nasal spray that can reverse an opioid overdose may become available for easier over-the-counter purchase.U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisers are meeting Wednesday to discuss making generic naloxone hydrochloride available without requiring interaction with a pharmacist, CNN reported.Approval could happen later this year. Research shows that wider availability of the antidote could save lives in the growing U.S. opioid epidemic. The meeting of the FDA’s Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee and the Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee is a response to an application submitted last year by Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. of Baltimore.The FDA gave the company’s application priority review, CNN reported.Emergent...
Many Face Months of Lingering Symptoms After COVID Hospital Discharge
15 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Most people hospitalized for COVID-19 are taking months to bounce back, a new study confirms. More than 70% of patients reported experiencing lingering symptoms, including coughing, rapid or irregular heartbeat and breathlessness. About half had fatigue or physical limitations. All of these symptoms are associated with long COVID-19. “My clinic patients often want to know how soon they’ll get back to their usual health,†said study first author Dr. Andrew Admon, an assistant professor in the departments of internal medicine and epidemiology at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. “Based on these data, it seems that many people hospitalized for COVID-19 should expect symptoms to last for up to six months or even longer,†Admon...
