Got Bunions? Key Factors to Whether Surgery Will Work for You
MONDAY, Feb. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When it comes to bunions, millions of Americans are painfully familiar with the signs: Swelling, redness, a telltale bulge on the side of the big toe. Corns and calluses where other toes rub together. And pain. Lots and lots of pain.Fortunately, when surgery is needed, it's usually a success. But not always. So researchers have stepped up with a new study highlighting the key factors that may determine the procedure, known as modified Lapidus surgery, will be unsuccessful.“We set out to find if certain characteristics -- patient or procedure-based -- were associated with failure of the bunion surgery,†said study author Dr. Matthew Johnson, an assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center...
MRI Might Boost Cancer Detection for Women With Dense...
6 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Nearly half of women have dense breast tissue, which can be a double whammy on their odds for breast cancer.Not only are dense breasts a risk factor for cancer, but this glandular and fibrous connective tissue make it harder to detect cancers on a mammogram, the usual method for breast cancer screening.New research looked at other kinds of imaging to see which might be more effective for the 47% of women who have dense breasts with low levels of fatty tissue.One emerged as an effective alternative: Breast MRI was superior to other methods, using that detection criteria.Researchers also looked at hand-held breast ultrasound, automated breast ultrasound and digital breast tomosynthesis.All showed about the same level of effectiveness, said study...
Rare But Dangerous Form of Eating Disorder Could Run in...
6 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Genes may have a strong influence over whether kids develop an eating disorder marked by extremely limited food choices, a new study finds.The study focused on a condition called avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). It's a relatively new diagnosis that describes people who severely limit the types or quantity of food they eat — but not over body image concerns or a quest for thinness.Instead, food is the center of the issue. People with ARFID may have a strong aversion to various tastes, smells or textures, have little appetite, or may fear choking, vomiting or suffering an allergic reaction if they eat an unfamiliar food (often based on a past experience).Studies suggest it affects 1% to 5% of the population.Yet researchers...
Measles Outbreak in Ohio Declared Over After 85 Cases
6 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) – A central Ohio measles outbreak among children who were not fully vaccinated is now over, public health officials announced Saturday. Columbus Health declared the outbreak finished with no new cases after a period of 42 days -- the equivalent of two measles virus incubation periods.In all, 85 children were known to be infected in the outbreak, including 36 who were hospitalized, city health department data shows. All but five of the children were 5 and younger. None of the children died. “We’ve had low vaccination rates for MMR in our community for years, but we’ve never had a measles outbreak like we have now. So, it did take us by surprise,†Dr. Mysheika Roberts, health commissioner for the city of Columbus, told CNN.Cases were...
U.S. Tourists in Northern Mexico Are Buying Counterfeit Pills Containing Fentanyl
6 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers have uncovered groundbreaking evidence that pharmacies in tourist areas of Northern Mexico are selling counterfeit pills containing fentanyl, heroin and methamphetamines.The pills, mainly sold to U.S. tourists without a prescription, were passed off as controlled substances, including oxycodone, percocet and Adderall, the study found.This could add to the already high number of overdose deaths from these drugs in the United States and Mexico, U.S.-based researchers said.“These counterfeit pills represent a serious overdose risk to buyers who think they are getting a known quantity of a weaker drug,†said senior study author Chelsea Shover. She is an assistant professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of...
Live Near Busy Traffic? You May Be at Higher Odds for Tinnitus
6 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- People who live near traffic noise, especially when it continues at night, are more likely to develop the repetitive whistling or buzzing sounds in their ears known as tinnitus. Danish researchers found a link between the risk of developing the condition and traffic noise, with a vicious cycle of stress reactions and sleep disturbance as a potential cause.Living near a busy road may increase your stress and affect your sleep, they explained, and those who are sleeping poorly and have higher stress may be at greater risk for tinnitus.For the study, the researchers used data from 3.5 million Danes, finding more than 40,000 cases of tinnitus.For every 10 decibels more noise in people’s homes, the risk of developing tinnitus increased by 6%, said...
Understanding Your Cholesterol Numbers
6 February 2023
MONDAY, Feb. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- You might not think about your cholesterol very often, if ever, but it’s important to know your numbers.It’s even helpful to get it checked at a young age, according to one heart expert.“People in their 20s may never consider getting their cholesterol checked, but they should because it may uncover a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol that they didn’t know about,†said Dr. Michael Farbaniec, a cardiologist at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pa. "The sooner it's treated, the more damage you can prevent."People 40 and up should get a lipid panel every year, asking to have it added to their annual blood work if their primary care physician doesn’t order it, Farbaniec said.The U.S. National Heart,...
How Ice & Snow Can Harm Your Wrists, Hands
5 February 2023
SUNDAY, Feb. 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Winter’s icy beauty can also be dangerous.An orthopedic expert offers some tips for avoiding serious injuries on slippery ground or hazards hidden by snow."When people have injuries during the winter, it commonly involves tripping over an object or slipping on ice," said Dr. Richard Samade, an assistant professor of orthopedic surgery who specializes in hand and upper extremity surgery at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. "To protect themselves from greater injuries, people will instinctively stretch their hand and arm out to break their fall," Samade said in a center news release. "Unfortunately, this leads to a decelerating force concentrated through the wrist, forearm and elbow that often leads to injury in the small bones of those...
