Big Rise in U.S. Teen Girls Reporting Violence, Sadness -- Far More Than Boys
MONDAY, Feb. 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- An alarming new survey shows that American teen girls are experiencing record high levels of violence, sadness and suicide risk. Schools may be the answer to improving what’s happening for young people, according to the report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 3 in 5 girls -- 57% -- said they felt persistently sad or hopeless in 2021. That’s up 60%, the CDC reported, and those numbers are double the number of teen boys experiencing sadness or hopelessness. Girls fared worse than boys across nearly all measures, though all teens reported increasing mental health challenges, experiences of violence and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. LGBTQ teens also continued to experience extremely high levels of violence and...
Exercise Can Help Shed Dangerous Fat Around the Liver
13 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Often, patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are advised to lose weight, but that can be hard to do and takes precious time.Now, researchers report they have found another strategy can help lower liver fat in people with this condition, which affects nearly 30% of the global population. Exercise of about 150 minutes each week at a moderate intensity — the exact recommendation from public health experts at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services — significantly reduced liver fat in patients, the new meta-analysis showed. “I spend a lot of my time trying to help improve the lives of our patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD],†said Dr. Jonathan Stine. He is an associate professor of medicine and public...
Suicides Rise Again in the US, Increases Highest Among...
13 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Suicide rates have climbed again following a two-year decline, U.S. health officials report.The new study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also described a shift in demographics of those dying by suicide in 2021. While rates among white Americans have been higher for decades than those among Black and Hispanic Americans, rates are now rising in minority populations. The report also noted that suicides are happening more often in younger minorities, compared to older white adults.Communities most affected by the pandemic are where rates are rising, Dr. Sean Joe, a professor at the Brown School of Social Work at Washington University, told the New York Times.“That’s what we’re unpacking at this point, is cumulative...
Wildfire Smoke May Send Pregnant Women Into Premature Labor
13 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Exposure to wildfire smoke can increase the risk of premature birth, new research suggests.For the study, the researchers reviewed birth certificates and hospital delivery data for more than 2.5 million pregnant women in California from 2007 to 2012, and used satellite images and ZIP codes to compare daily estimates of wildfire smoke intensity.The study found that from the four weeks prior to conception and through the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, 86% of the women were exposed to at least one day of wildfire smoke. They had an average exposure of 7.5 days.Wildfire smoke was significantly associated with spontaneous preterm birth, the investigators found. Each additional day of smoke exposure slightly increased the odds of delivering...
Paxlovid Remains Potent Against Omicron COVID Cases
13 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The COVID-19 antiviral treatment Paxlovid continues to work against Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5, new research shows.Researchers decided to study Paxlovid’s impact against severe illness and death because doctors have fewer treatment options for high-risk patients as the virus evolves.“We are really struggling with maintaining effective therapeutic options for high-risk patients with COVID-19,†said Dr. Adit Ginde, a professor of emergency medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora, Colo. “Particularly because the monoclonal antibody treatments we had been using and relying on for the past year-and-a-half are no longer effective against recent Omicron subvariants because the virus has changed,†Ginde...
More Kids Vape Weed in States Where Medical Marijuana Is Legal
13 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It’s not clear why, but youths in U.S. states where medical marijuana is legal report more vaping of cannabis than their peers in states where weed is legal for all adults or it is completely illegal.New research found that about 27% of 12th graders in medical marijuana states reported vaping cannabis compared to 19% in states that bar the drug or allow it for adult use.“More than a quarter of our youth in medical states were vaping cannabis. That's a lot,†said first author Christian Maynard, a doctoral student in sociology at Washington State University. “We were expecting medical and adult use states would be more similar. Instead, we didn’t find any statistical difference between prohibited and adult use states," he said in a...
Lessons From a Wildfire on How to Save Pets' Lives
13 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- In the wake of natural disasters like wildfires that have destroyed whole communities with alarming speed, some folks are focused on the beloved pets left behind — and how to save others in the future.More than 1,000 pets died in the Marshall fire on Dec. 30, 2021, in Boulder County, Colo., according to new research from the University of Colorado at Boulder.The blaze touched off on a weekday when many people were at work and it spread rapidly, trapping pets in their homes.“My main takeaway is that to save our pets, we need to know our neighbors,†said study co-author Leslie Irvine, a sociology professor and author of the book, Filling the Ark: Animal Welfare in Disasters.“As tragic as [Hurricane] Katrina was, there was warning,†she...
A1C: What Is It, and What Does It Mean for Your Heart?
12 February 2023
SUNDAY, Feb. 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- You might think about cholesterol when you consider your cardiovascular health.It’s also important to consider your A1C levels.Sugar is just as bad for your heart as cholesterol -- if not worse, said Dr. Daniel Lodge, a thoracic surgeon at Penn State Health Specialty Services in Reading, Pa.“Diabetes is a much bigger risk factor,†he said in a health system news release.While about 11% of Americans have diabetes, roughly 30% of those with heart disease do.Lodge explained a little about what exactly A1C measurements are and what that can mean for the heart.“Sugar binds to red blood cells and hemoglobin A1C is the amount of sugar bonded to the red blood cells. It measures average blood sugar over the past three months,†Lodge said.Over...
