AHA News: Mom's Exposure to Air Pollution, Even Before Pregnancy, May Raise Baby's Heart Defect Risk
TUESDAY, Feb. 14, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Maternal exposure to air pollution may raise the risk for heart defects in an unborn child, according to new research from China that suggests the risks are just as high in the three months prior to pregnancy as they are during the mother's first trimester."It means reducing air pollution exposure in the period of three months before conception and the period of the first trimester is equally important for preventing congenital heart defects in offspring," said Dr. Hammin Liu, co-lead author of the study published Monday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation. Liu is president of West China Second University Hospital and a professor of pediatrics at Sichuan University in Chengdu, China.Congenital heart defects...
How Worried Should the World Be About Bird Flu in Humans?
14 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A highly infectious strain of avian influenza is tearing through commercial and backyard poultry flocks, causing egg prices to rise as sick chickens are culled across the United States.Now, some experts are worried that the H5N1 avian flu might become humankind’s next pandemic-causing pathogen, if the raging virus makes the leap from birds to humans.That’s because other mammals have started to pick up the avian flu, and mammal-to-mammal outbreaks of the H5N1 virus are also occurring in rare instances.“We’re always concerned when it’s in mammals, just because they’re closely related to humans,†explained Dr. Ryan Miller, an infectious disease doctor at the Cleveland Clinic, in Ohio.The red flag officially unfurled last week in a...
No Sign That ADHD Meds in Pregnancy Can Raise Odds for...
14 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Children who were exposed to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications their moms took during pregnancy are not more prone to neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD or autism, researchers report.The news may be welcome to women who’ve needed to take ADHD medication throughout their pregnancy. “We can see that the number of women of childbearing age who are medicated for ADHD is rapidly increasing, and therefore it is very important to garner more knowledge to be able to counsel these women,†said study co-author Dr. Veerle Bergink, director of the Women’s Mental Health Program at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. “We know that there is an increased risk of accidents or losing a job when...
Pancreatic Cancer Rates Rising Faster Among Women
14 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While rates of pancreatic cancer are increasing for both men and women, they’re climbing the fastest among young women, particularly those who are Black. “We can tell that the rate of pancreatic cancer among women is rising rapidly, which calls attention to the need for further research in this area,†said senior study author Dr. Srinivas Gaddam, associate director of Pancreatic Biliary Research at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. “There’s a need to understand these trends, and to make changes today so this doesn’t affect women disproportionately in the future.â€The increase is small, however, and shouldn’t be alarming, but future studies will need to examine these trends, Gaddam said. “The data shows us a small increase in risk...
Allergists Less Likely to Check Black Kids for Eczema
14 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Doctors have dubbed kids' progression from eczema to asthma the "atopic march," and they know more about how it affects white children than their Black counterparts. Research scheduled for presentation at an upcoming meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) sheds new light on racial disparities.The atopic march typically begins early in life with atopic dermatitis (eczema) and can eventually progress to asthma, as well as environmental and food allergies.In the new study, the researchers found that while Black children are more likely to develop asthma, they’re less likely than white children to be evaluated for eczema by an allergist.“We already know that Black children have higher rates of asthma,†said...
Folks With Type 1 Diabetes Are No More or Less Likely to Be Overweight: Study
14 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Type 1 diabetes has long been considered a thin person’s disease, but a new study challenges that notion.About 62% of adults with type 1 diabetes were overweight or obese, the researchers found. That compared to 64% of those without diabetes and 86% of those with type 2 diabetes.For the study, the researchers used data on more than 128,000 people from the U.S. National Health Interview Survey. The investigators found that 34% of adults with type 1 diabetes were overweight. About 28% had obesity. Despite these high numbers, only slightly more than half of adults with type 1 diabetes who were overweight or had obesity received lifestyle recommendations from health care providers, such as to increase physical activity or cut calories, the...
Kids Visiting ER in Mental Crisis Often Get No Follow-Up
13 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A growing number of U.S. kids are landing in hospital emergency rooms for a mental health crisis. Now a new study finds that many do not get follow-up care after they're discharged.Experts said the findings, published Feb. 13 in the journal Pediatrics, are yet more evidence of the cracks in the nation's mental health care system -- especially when it comes to helping kids.Of more than 28,000 U.S. kids discharged from the ER for a mental health concern, only about half had a follow-up health care appointment within a month, researchers found.More than one-quarter were back in the ER within six months.The results are, unfortunately, no surprise, the researchers said. Past studies have illustrated the ways in which the system is failing kids in...
AHA News: To Improve Maternal Health, Report Says to Start Before Pregnancy
13 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 13, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- A woman's heart health prior to becoming pregnant greatly affects her risk for pregnancy-related complications and the long-term cardiovascular health of both mother and child, according to a new report that calls for greater attention to the issue.Improving maternal heart health during this critical period could help break the generational cycle of poor cardiovascular health that has become a growing problem in the U.S., particularly among women whose health is affected by structural racism and other adverse social conditions, according to a new American Heart Association scientific statement published Monday in Circulation."If you optimize the pre-pregnancy health of the mother, that optimizes her health during pregnancy,...
