Advent of Electric Cars Is Already Improving Health
TUESDAY, Feb. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Electric cars are still in the minority on America's roads, yet researchers are already seeing health benefits from reduced tailpipe pollution. In a new California study, neighborhoods with the most all-electric cars -- called zero-emission vehicles -- saw a decline in asthma-related emergency room visits. Researchers believe this was a result of lower levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the air."Results from this study provide some of the first real-world evidence suggesting that switching to zero-emissions vehicles could be a win-win, both reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and potentially improving local air quality and health," said study co-author Sandrah Eckel, an associate professor of population and public health sciences at the...
Kisspeptin: Is Injected Hormone the Remedy for Flagging...
7 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- If you are one of the millions of people distressed by low libido, help may be on the way in the form of a new hormone shot.Two new British studies suggest that injections of the hormone kisspeptin could boost sexual desire in men and women. When folks with low sexual desire received kisspeptin shots, areas of their brains charged with feeling sexual desire lit up on scans when they watched erotic videos.“It’s very nice to see something that works in women and men,†said co-senior study author Dr. Alexander Comninos, a consultant in endocrinology and diabetes and an honorary clinical senior lecturer at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London.Kisspeptin may stimulate the release of other reproductive hormones, leading to enhanced...
Shark Bites Are Declining Worldwide
7 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It's a little safer to get into the water: Unprovoked shark attacks dropped to a 10-year low worldwide in 2022, shark watchers say.A total of 57 unprovoked bites occurred in 2022, tying with 2020 for the fewest number of reported incidents during the last 10 years, according to the University of Florida’s International Shark Attack File.Of those attacks, five were fatal -- down from nine deaths in 2021 and 10 in 2020.Since 2013, there have been an average 74 unprovoked bites a year, researchers say.The 2020 low likely was related to COVID-19 travel restrictions and beach closures, which resulted in fewer encounters between humans and sharks, researchers said.Declining shark populations are one likely cause of the low numbers of bites in 2022,...
Kids Conceived Via IVF Have No Higher Risk of Heart Issues
7 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The heart health of children conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF) is similar to that of their naturally conceived peers, researchers have found. The large study found no robust difference in blood pressure, heart rate, cholesterol and glucose measurements between kids conceived naturally and those conceived using assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as IVF.“This is the largest study of its kind," said lead study author Dr. Ahmed Elhakeem, a research fellow in epidemiology at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.“Parents conceiving or hoping to conceive through assisted reproductive technology and their offspring should be reassured that cardiometabolic health appears to be comparable in ART-conceived and...
Knowing Someone Who's Been Ill or Died of COVID Pushes Folks to Get Vaccine: Study
7 February 2023
TUESDAY, Feb. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new study shows the importance of the messenger when trying to encourage people to get their COVID-19 vaccines. People who know someone who was sickened by the virus or who died from it were twice as likely to get their own vaccinations, researchers report. “This study shows that the messenger matters more than the message: Hearing about the experiences of a trusted person, such as a friend or a family member, can be more effective than vaccine mandates,†said lead author Saurabh Kalra, a doctoral student at the Rutgers School of Public Health in New Brunswick, N.J.“A corollary to this finding is that an influential public figure whom people admire and trust can adversely impact public health if they share misinformation such as the...
Targeted Drug Tagrisso Could Be Advance Against Lung Cancer
6 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The best treatment for a genetically driven form of lung cancer continues to show lasting benefits, a new clinical trial update shows.Tagrisso (osimertinib) nearly doubles disease-free survival in earlier-stage patients whose lung cancer is driven by a mutation in their EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) gene, researchers report.After four years of follow-up, disease-free survival was 73% in the Tagrisso group versus 38% in patients who received a placebo, updated results showed.Taken as a pill, the drug also cut patients’ cancer recurrence in half compared to placebo, 27% versus 60%. In addition, patients were less likely to develop cancers in other parts of the body.“One of the main benefits of this drug is that it has good brain...
What Is Coronary Heart Disease?
6 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- That seemingly sudden heart attack? It may have been triggered by underlying coronary heart disease. Heart attack is a big event, but for some it might be the first sign of a problem that has been building for quite some time.Coronary heart disease -- also known as coronary artery disease -- is the most common type of heart disease in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Doctors often use the terms coronary heart disease (CHD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) interchangeably, although CHD is really a result of CAD, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). “Coronary artery disease is preventable,†Dr. Johnny Lee, president of New York Heart Associates, said in a recent story about the...
AHA News: Indigenous Populations May Have Higher Stroke Risk
6 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 6, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- In highly developed countries, Indigenous populations may have a higher rate of stroke, according to new research that highlights a dire need for more data and well-designed studies.Each year, nearly 12 million people worldwide have a stroke, which takes place when a vessel carrying blood to the brain is blocked by a clot or the vessel ruptures and bleeds into the brain, causing brain cells to die. But little is known about stroke's impact on the estimated 370 million Indigenous people worldwide.Researchers reviewed data about the impact of stroke on Indigenous populations in countries ranking high on the Health Development Index, a guideline designed by the United Nations to measure economic wealth, education and life...
