Surge in Severe Strep Cases in Kids Was Really a Return to Normal: CDC
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) – While a health alert warned doctors late last year about rising cases of severe strep in children, U.S. officials now say those numbers were actually a return to normal.“Based on preliminary 2022 data, iGAS [invasive group A streptococcal] infections in children have returned to levels similar to those seen in pre-pandemic years,†the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in an updated notice. IGAS, which is triggered by infection with strep A bacteria, is rare, but it can lead to organ failure and tissue damage."During the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States had very low numbers of iGAS infections in children. This was likely due to the steps many people took during the pandemic to prevent the spread of respiratory...
Americans Getting More Comfortable Talking Over Mental...
8 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Primary care doctors are no longer just in the physical health business: Americans are increasingly turning to them for mental health care, too, a new study finds.Looking at Americans' primary care visits between 2006 and 2018, researchers found a 50% increase in the proportion of visits that addressed mental health concerns. That figure rose from just under 11% of visits, to 16% by the end of the study period.The reasons are unclear, experts said, but it's not just a matter of mental health conditions becoming more common: During the same period, other studies show, the national rate of mental health disorders rose by about 18%.Instead, it seems primary care doctors are shouldering more responsibility for diagnosing and in some cases...
Tying the Knot Could Keep High Blood Sugar at Bay
8 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Getting hitched could help middle-aged and older folks get a better handle on their blood sugar, a new study reports.People living with a spouse appeared to be better able to maintain lower blood sugar levels than single folks, according to the findings.This benefit held regardless of the state of their relationship, the researchers added. Whether bickering or snuggling, married folks tended to have better blood sugar control.For the study, the investigators evaluated data from more than 3,300 people aged 50 to 89 living in England between 2004 and 2013.The people did not have diabetes, but they did have blood samples taken to test their average blood sugar levels. They also were asked if they were married or living with someone, and answered...
Flu Shot Could Be a Lifesaver for Folks With Chronic Ills
8 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. flu season is expected to extend into spring, and experts say it's not too late to get a flu shot. Last year’s flu season was mild, but this season has already seen triple the number of flu-related deaths in the United States.“Even a minor respiratory virus can be hard on someone with lung disease, and the flu is especially challenging,†said Dr. Albert Rizzo, chief medical officer for the American Lung Association. “We want to reiterate that not only should people with any chronic illness get a flu shot, but their loved ones and friends should also protect them by getting the flu vaccine. It’s imperative that we slow the spread of the flu this year as much as possible to continue to decrease the number of cases and...
Sudden Chest Pain: What Is Angina Pectoris?
7 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- That feeling of crushing pain in your chest can be a medical emergency, but it can also be angina pectoris, or “stable angina†— a symptom of coronary heart disease that can be managed with medication.Angina can be stable, unstable, variant or refractory, so it’s important for people having chest pain to see a doctor to determine what needs to be done.“It turns out, there are lots of different kinds of chest pain. In fact, almost everything in the chest can hurt in one way or another. Some of the causes are really nothing more than a minor inconvenience. Some of them though are quite serious, even life-threatening,†Dr. Alan Greene said recently about stable angina, noting chest pain can be caused by everything from asthma to a...
Hispanic, Black Americans on Dialysis Face Higher Risks for Dangerous Infections
7 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Kidney disease patients on dialysis are 100 times more likely to contract a dangerous blood infection than people not receiving the treatment -- and that risk is borne primarily by Hispanic and Black Americans, U.S. government health officials say.Hispanic patients are 40% more likely than white patients to develop a staph bloodstream infection while on dialysis, according to a new Vital Signs report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Likewise, Black people are 10% more likely than white folks to get a blood infection through dialysis, the study said.“A comprehensive approach to preventive care that recognizes racial, ethnic and socioeconomic disparities is needed,†the report concluded.More than 800,000 people in the...
Golf Is Healthy Exercise for Seniors, Study Confirms
7 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Want to stay healthy well into your golden years? Grab a bag of clubs and hit the green, new research suggests.Golfing beat walking or even Nordic walking (a full-body workout that consists of walking using specialized poles) when it came to improving several key measures of heart health in the small study.“The results of this study are meant to encourage older adults to spend more time on the golf course and play by walking,†said study author Julia Kettinen, a doctoral researcher at the Institute of Biomedicine/Sports and Exercise Medicine at the University of Eastern Finland in Kuopio. “Golf is a great way to exercise, as it motivates individuals to move, often without even realizing the distance they've walked during the game.â€For...
Healthy Lifestyle Cuts Odds for Long COVID in Half
7 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- People who get COVID-19 are at risk for long-term health consequences, but a healthy lifestyle may protect against long COVID, a new study suggests.Women who maintained six healthy habits -- a healthy weight, didn't smoke, exercised regularly, slept and ate well, and drank alcohol in moderation -- cut their risk of long COVID by about 50%, compared with women without those healthy habits, researchers found."If all people adhere to all six healthy lifestyle factors in our cohort, 36% of long COVID could have been avoided," said lead author Dr. Siwen Wang, a research fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health."Also, those with a healthier pre-infection lifestyle had a 30% lower risk of having symptoms that interfere with their daily...
