What Is Congestive Heart Failure?
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Congestive heart failure is a scary diagnosis nobody wants to hear, but what is the condition and how do you manage it?Plenty of people are affected: Roughly 5.7 million Americans are living with congestive heart failure, with 670,000 new cases diagnosed each year, according to the American Heart Association (AHA).But, in reality, having heart failure doesn't mean that your heart will never work properly again. Just like there’s more than one reason for heart failure, there are several medical treatments available to help you live well with the condition, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).To better understand how to prevent and manage heart failure, it is important to learn what it is, its stages, symptoms,...
'Have a Sweet': Grandma's Treats Threaten Kids' Teeth
15 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Raiding the cookie jar or candy dish at grandma’s house may be a treat, but it can also help ruin children’s teeth. And a new survey found more than two-thirds of mothers reporting that their kids' grandparents gave youngsters sugary foods and beverages, with no limits on consumption."I have many happy memories of raiding the candy jar at my own grandparents’ house and, as a parent, I’ve hesitated with some of these talks myself,†said American Dental Association (ADA) spokesperson Dr. Genaro Romo, a Chicago-based dentist. “Yet, cavities are the most common chronic childhood disease and can cause undue pain, as well as issues with speaking, eating, playing and learning," Romo said in an association news release.In the study,...
Young Kids, Adults Use Same Brain Areas to Solve Tough...
15 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Adults use a special part of their brain to solve tough problems. Now, new research shows that kids do the same.Scientists used brain scans and challenging work to assess how kids and adults might work through these tough problems and whether or not their problem-solving processes were the same.Turns out they were.The researchers found that while the multiple demand network is not fully developed in kids, it operates similarly to the way it does in adults, said senior study author Zeynep Saygin, an assistant professor of psychology at Ohio State University.“We found that the multiple demand network was a distinct network even in young children, and was separate from the language network, just as it is in adults,†Saygin said in a...
Living Near Busy Road Could Raise Your Odds for Eczema
15 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- How close a person lives to a major road could have an impact on their eczema risk.New research suggests that folks who live farther from one are less likely to develop the skin condition.A 13-year medical chart review focused on patients in Denver, from infants to age 18.Those with eczema were compared to an equal-sized control group of patients without the condition. In all, the study included more than 14,000 children. The researchers calculated the distance from their homes to a road with annual traffic of more than 10,000 vehicles a day.The risk of eczema (atopic dermatitis) dropped 21% for every 10-fold increase in distance from a major road, the study found.“In the end, we found children who lived 1,000 meters [0.6 miles] or more...
Delivering a Plus-Sized Baby Could Be Sign of Diabetes Risk
14 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Women who give birth to bigger-than-average babies are susceptible to developing type 2 diabetes later in life, a new study suggests. Large-for-gestational age infants are defined as those weighing 8 pounds or more, said lead study author Dr. Kartik Kailas Venkatesh, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Ohio State University. "In an environment of obesity, women are at a higher risk of having larger babies," he said. "And they are also at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life."Venkatesh said that women who deliver large babies most likely suffer from glucose intolerance that causes high blood sugar during pregnancy. "Even if you don't have gestational diabetes, there's probably still glucose intolerance that's leading...
Data Show Big Drop in Number of Americans in Medical Debt
14 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Americans have less medical debt now than they did a couple years ago, possibly because of policies and programs that gave more people access to health insurance and relief funds.About 8.2 million fewer people had medical debt on their credit reports in early 2022 compared to early 2020, according to the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). That’s a drop of about 18% over the two years, the Associated Press reported.In a separate draft report, White House officials credited an expansion of the Affordable Care Act that provided coverage to an additional 4.2 million Americans.In addition, some local governments are leveraging $16 million in 2021 coronavirus relief funds to buy medical debt and forgive it. That includes Chicago,...
Not Allergic to Penicillin After All? Your Pharmacy May Not Know
14 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When testing determines that a patient who was thought to be allergic to penicillin actually is not, the warning is expected to be removed from their charts and pharmacy records.But that "de-labeling" is not always happening.“Penicillin allergy labels are associated with increased health care cost burdens as well as adverse events for patients,†said lead author Dr. Althea Marie Diaz, an allergist at NYU Langone Long Island Hospital in Mineola, N.Y. “Many patients carrying a penicillin allergy label can safely take penicillin, but even after allergy testing we’re finding those allergy labels aren’t always being removed.â€To study this, the researchers identified 78 charts of patients who were de-labeled for penicillin allergy from...
5 Foods to Boost Your Heart Health
14 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Keeping your heart healthy has numerous benefits, including a reduced risk for coronary heart disease, stroke, heart attack and even dementia.Eating healthy foods is one big step you can take to protect your heart, but most folks wait too long to change what they eat.“Many people ignore their diet until they develop cardiovascular symptoms later in life. Adopting a heart-healthy diet when you are young can help you live longer and healthier,†Loyola University Medical Center cardiologist Khaled Dajani said in a recent blog post.In its 2021 Dietary Guidance Scientific Statement, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends eating foods from the Mediterranean, Healthy US-Style and DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diets for...
