Vaping Could Raise Teens' Odds for Severe COVID
FRIDAY, Feb. 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Healthy young people who vape or smoke may be putting themselves at greater risk for developing severe COVID, new research finds.Both smoking tobacco and vaping electronic cigarettes may predispose people to increased inflammation, future development of severe COVID-19 and lingering cardiovascular complications, said lead study author Dr. Theodoros Kelesidis. He's an associate professor of medicine in the division of infectious diseases at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine, in Los Angeles.“The key message is that smoking is the worst, but vaping is not innocent,†Kelesidis said in a UCLA news release. “This has been shown for many lung diseases, but not for COVID. It was a quite interesting and novel finding that vaping changed the...
'Neuroprotectant' Drug Could Boost Outcomes After a Stroke
9 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Using a "neuroprotectant" drug alongside the standard surgical removal of a clot may slash the risk of death and disability following a stroke, a new study finds.The new medication, called ApTOLL, shields brain tissue from continuing damage by cooling down inflammation, the researchers said.A stroke occurs when blood supply to part of the brain is blocked by a clot or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. Ischemic strokes, which are far more common, occur when a blood clot cuts off blood supply to the brain. Still, more research is needed before ApTOLL is ready for prime time. “We need confirmatory studies in larger populations, and we are aiming to start those in the last quarter of 2023,†said study author Dr. Marc Ribó, an...
In a First, COVID Vaccine Is Added to Adult Immunization...
9 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- For the first time, COVID-19 vaccines have been added to the list of routine immunizations recommended for adults -- a further sign the virus is here to stay.The addition is being made to the 2023 Recommended Adult Immunization Schedule, released Thursday by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice (ACIP), an expert panel that advises the U.S. federal government on vaccination recommendations for all Americans.COVID vaccination has, of course, been recommended ever since the vaccines became available. But its inclusion on the recommended vaccine schedule underscores the fact that COVID-19 is not going away, said Dr. Sandra Adamson Fryhofer, an Atlanta-based physician who serves as an ACIP liaison. "This reiterates that COVID has gone...
Could a Vibrating Pill Ease Chronic Constipation?
9 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new treatment for chronic constipation may bring relief without having to use drugs. It’s a vibrating pill called Vibrant that stimulates the colon as it passes through the body.Although the pill was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last August, doctors can start prescribing Vibrant this week. “We are working right now with insurance companies to obtain coverage in commercial plans,†Cathy Collis, chief commercial officer for Vibrant Gastro Inc., told CNN. “But until we get that coverage, our goal and commitment is to make sure that this is accessible and affordable to patients.â€The company had to show the pills contained no toxic materials, could withstand an accidental bite and didn’t carry risk of infections,...
In Autopsy Study, Over 90% of Former NFL Players Showed Signs of Brain Disease CTE
9 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Many football fans fondly remember Rick Arrington as the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback from 1970 to 1973, but his daughter’s memories are tainted by years spent watching her dad suffer from late-stage chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).A degenerative brain disease found in athletes, military veterans and others with a history of repetitive brain trauma, CTE causes depression, suicidal thoughts, aggression and mood swings. Eventually, folks have problems with thinking and memory, and may ultimately develop dementia. Repeated blows to the head — even if they don’t cause concussions — are considered the main risk factor for CTE.Speaking about her father’s illness for the first time at a recent benefit for the Concussion Legacy...
Scientists Devise Way to Keep Donor Hearts Viable Longer
9 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Doctors have discovered a way to extend the short shelf life of donor hearts, which could hopefully make more of the organs available to desperate recipients.Valproic acid (Depakote), which is approved to treat seizures, boosts production of an enzyme that increases the length of time donated hearts can be stored and transported.The drug also could improve the hearts’ function after they are transplanted, according to the study published Feb. 8 in the journal Science Translational Medicine.Hundreds of thousands of heart failure patients are waiting for a donor heart in the United States, but only around 4,000 heart transplants are conducted each year, the researchers said in background notes.One reason is that a heart can survive outside a...
AHA News: This Is What a Cardiac Arrest Looks Like, and Why You Need to Know
9 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 9, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Dr. Anezi Uzendu should not be here to explain what a cardiac arrest looks like. He's alive only because strangers at a gym understood – and acted.In 2016, Uzendu, then a 25-year-old medical resident, was playing a pickup basketball game at a gym in Birmingham, Alabama. He doesn't recall what happened, but he's told he scored, then collapsed."First, they kind of thought I was joking," he said. "But then they realized I wasn't breathing."He'd just become one of roughly 350,000 U.S. adults annually who have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. In most cases, the story – and the patient's life – ends there. Uzendu's did not because of what happened next."People at the gym recognized that I was having a cardiac arrest and...
What Is a Heart Attack and What Are the Symptoms?
9 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- In the United States alone, more than 800,000 heart attacks occur each year. That number will likely continue to rise: The American College of Cardiology predicts significant increases in heart disease and cardiovascular risk factors across the country by 2060. And a recent poll from Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center found heart attacks can even occur in groups you may not suspect, like young people.So, exactly what is a heart attack and what symptoms spell trouble?Heart attacks are life-threatening emergencies and need to be treated immediately. They cause damage to your heart that can lead to serious health issues or even death. “The earlier you come in for medical care, the earlier we can start therapy and the less damage...
