Massachusetts Bill Would Let Prisoners Donate Organs in Exchange for Shorter Sentence
THURSDAY, Feb. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Massachusetts legislators have proposed a bill that would allow prison inmates to donate their organs or bone marrow as a way to trim the length of their sentence.While some experts wonder about the ethics of such a law and whether it would even be allowed under federal law, a Democratic sponsor of the bill, state Rep. Judith Garcia, told the Associated Press it could reduce health inequities from “the vicious cycle of unjust incarceration and over-policing of Black and Brown communities.†While Black and Hispanic people tend to have a higher need for organ donation because of certain health conditions, discriminatory incarceration rates limit matches and lead to long waitlists for Black people, Garcia explained. Not all experts agree...
Many Stroke Survivors Have Ongoing Irregular Heart Rhythms
9 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- About 20% of people who survive what's called an ischemic stroke have irregular heart rhythms, which can lead to another stroke, researchers say.But in cases where the stroke was caused by hardening of the arteries, patients aren't adequately monitored for atrial fibrillation (a-fib, the most common heart rhythm abnormality) after discharge, said lead study author Dr. Lee Schwamm, a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, in Boston.“Relying on routine monitoring strategies is not sufficient and neither is placing a 30-day continuous monitor on the patient. Even if fibrillation is ruled out in the first 30 days, most of the cases are missed — because, as we found, more than 80% of the episodes are first detected more than 30 days...
Football, Concussions and High Blood Pressure Often Go...
9 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Add high blood pressure to the list of problems associated with concussions among former pro football players.Researchers at Harvard University's Football Players Health Study linked a history of concussions to elevated risk for high blood pressure among ex-NFL players.The results suggest that treating former athletes who have both high blood pressure and a history of concussions could help protect them against heart, blood vessel and mental (cognitive) decline.“If players, families, and physicians are aware of the cardiovascular effects of head injury, we have a better chance of protecting both their cardiovascular health and long-term cognitive health,†study author Rachel Grashow said in a Harvard news release. She is director of...
Seniors' Dental Care Declines After Medicare Kicks In
9 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Without dental coverage, many American seniors on Medicare stop getting the fillings and crowns they may need, a new study finds.The result isn't pretty.“Without dental coverage for adults who are eligible [for] Medicare, we are seeing a rise in loss of teeth after age 65 among nearly 1 in 20 adults, which represents millions of Americans,†said Dr. Lisa Simon, a resident in the Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. “Older adults have the lowest rates of dental insurance in the U.S. and cost is a major barrier for many in seeking dental care,†Simon said in a hospital news release. “We know that Medicare, by covering medical services, improves health outcomes and reduces racial health inequities among...
How Are Toxins Like Lead, Arsenic Getting Into Baby Foods?
8 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Parents in the United States may assume baby food is free of impurities, but a recent research review highlights the much different reality: Most foods made for babies and toddlers have some amount of toxic heavy metals.The contaminants include metals, such as lead and arsenic, that can harm brain development, and contribute to learning and behavior problems in children. And they are found in everything from rice cereals to formula to pureed vegetables.It's an issue that's been known for decades, yet most parents are probably unaware of it, experts said."Most people would probably think that, out of all foods, baby food has to be the safest," said Dr. Sarah Ventre, the lead author on the review and a pediatrician at the University at Buffalo,...
Is Vaping Any Healthier Than Smoking?
8 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- There’s been plenty of scientific debate about whether vaping is safer than tobacco, and whether it may help some people stop smoking.According to a recent Cochrane Review analysis of 78 studies, electronic cigarettes show more success in helping people quit smoking than traditional nicotine-replacement therapies, such as nicotine patches and gums. “The most important finding from our recent review update is that for the first time there is high certainty evidence that nicotine e-cigarettes are more effective than traditional nicotine-replacement therapies, such as patches, gum or lozenges, in helping people to quit smoking,†said study co-author Ailsa Butler. She is a postdoctoral researcher from the University of Oxford’s Centre for...
There's Been a Big Decline in the Rate of Americans Hit by Disability
8 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new study delivers some great news to older Americans, something many likely already realize in their daily lives. The prevalence of disabilities among seniors is down sharply from what it was just a decade before, researchers say. Fewer older adults have limitations in the activities that are an important part of daily life, from climbing stairs or walking without difficulty to dressing and bathing. “Our findings suggest millions more Americans are remaining disability-free and therefore could feasibly stay in their homes well into their 80s and 90s,†said study author Esme Fuller-Thomson, director of the University of Toronto’s Institute for Life Course and Aging. This study updates earlier information that seniors have been...
AHA News: Lifelong Runner and Newlywed Gets Pacemaker to Power Her Heart
8 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 8, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- After their Hawaii honeymoon, newlyweds Jackie Ng-Osorio and her husband, Kane, set a goal of training together for the Honolulu Marathon.The race went well. Afterward, Ng-Osorio, who was 26 at the time, eased back into shorter daily runs. But she noticed her heart rate stayed high well after running.She went to her doctor. A treadmill stress test found no problems. "You could stop running," her doctor suggested. But Ng-Osorio, a runner in high school, college and graduate school, found joy in the sport. She didn't want to stop.Months later, in addition to her heart rate remaining elevated after exercising, she also felt sluggish.Before work one morning, she joined friends for a run around Honolulu. When she returned to the...
