When Schools Ask Students About Suicide, Those At Risk Get Help Sooner
FRIDAY, Feb. 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Could asking teens a simple, but pointed, question about their mental health reveal whether they are at risk for suicide? It might, new research suggests.Since suicide is now the second leading cause of death among American teens, any strategy that could lower that risk may be worth trying.“The depression screening tool we used is not a suicide risk assessment tool, but it does include one question that asks [students] about thoughts of self-harm,†explained study lead author Dr. Deepa Sekhar, an associate professor in the department of pediatrics at Penn State College of Medicine.The question is: “How often have you been bothered by… thoughts that you would be better off dead or of hurting yourself in some way?†Compared with those...
AHA News: They Married at Hospital Chapel, Days Before...
3 February 2023
FRIDAY, Feb. 3, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Although weekday weddings are a growing trend, Daniel Pecoraro and Lisa Siegel hadn't originally scheduled theirs for a Monday afternoon. And certainly not at a hospital near their home in Boynton Beach, Florida.But married life requires adjusting to situations, and they faced a drastic one days before their vows were to be exchanged.Last October, during his workday as a middle school science teacher, 55-year-old Pecoraro felt pain shoot down his left arm and in his chest. It didn't last long. Days later, it happened again.He knew the symptoms could be related to a heart attack. Still, he thought he should wait until they were more severe. This came despite having spent the past 30 years bracing for the possibility of having a...
AHA News: Genes, Neighborhoods and a Surprising Finding...
3 February 2023
FRIDAY, Feb. 3, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- A genetic score may be able to identify higher stroke risk – but only for people living in the most privileged neighborhoods, according to new research that highlights inequities related to wealth and health.Researchers looked at acute ischemic stroke, the most common type of stroke. It is caused by a clot blocking blood flow to the brain. Genetic factors are known to influence stroke risk, and previous research shows the risk also can be affected by poverty, low education or lack of health insurance, factors known as social determinants of health.But lead author Dr. Cyprien Rivier, a postdoctoral research fellow at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, said most genetic analyses ignore social factors, while...
Working Gets Tough When Grieving a Lost Spouse
3 February 2023
FRIDAY, Feb. 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When Elizabeth R.’s husband passed away from bone cancer in 2016, she felt grateful that her employer offered generous bereavement leave.Now 40, she worked in the development department of a large nonprofit cancer group at the time and felt ready to go back when her leave was up. However, about two weeks into her return, she realized it was too much, too soon.“Every time I would hear a cancer survivor or caregiver story, I had a reaction,†she recalled. Elizabeth, who asked that her last name not be used, decided to resign and has since remarried and started a second career as a massage therapist in Grand Rapids, Mich.But not every widow or widower who works has these options, and those who don’t may face increased physical and mental...
Pregnant Women in Rural America Often Lack Health Insurance, Upping Risks
3 February 2023
FRIDAY, Feb. 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- New research suggests that pregnant women and new moms in rural U.S. areas are at greater risk of adverse outcomes, including death, because they are more likely to be uninsured.Women living in rural communities had lower rates of uninterrupted health insurance before, during and after pregnancy compared to those in urban areas, a University of Michigan study found.“Being uninsured during the time of pregnancy has been associated with less adequate prenatal and postpartum care, which decreases opportunities to address risk factors affecting health outcomes for both the birthing person and baby,†said lead author Dr. Lindsay Admon. She's an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Michigan Medical School."Our...
Do You Need an Insulin-Resistance Diet?
3 February 2023
FRIDAY, Feb. 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- People with health conditions like type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes or polycystic ovarian syndrome may have been advised about the value of an insulin-resistance diet.But this way of eating can benefit most people interested in balancing blood sugars, whether that’s to help treat or prevent chronic conditions, or just to gain more energy and better mood control."An ‘insulin-resistant diet’ is a diet or eating plan that supports balanced blood sugars in the body,†explained Rahaf Al Bochi, a registered dietitian and owner of Olive Tree Nutrition in Duluth, Ga.Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps sugar (glucose) from the bloodstream enter into cells, explained Al Bochi, who is also a spokeswoman for the Academy of...
Obamacare Helped Women in Some Southern States Get Better Breast Cancer Care
3 February 2023
FRIDAY, Feb. 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The Affordable Care Act's expansion of Medicaid makes it more likely that a woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer earlier rather than at an advanced, harder-to-treat stage, new research suggests.Not all U.S. states expanded Medicaid coverage after the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) made it possible in 2010. That's because the Supreme Court made it optional for states to do so in 2012.In the new study, researchers compared Southern states that did and didn’t expand Medicaid coverage, and they found striking differences in breast cancer care. Their findings were published Feb. 1 in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.Researchers were inspired to make this comparison between neighboring states in part because...
Weed-Friendly Posts on Social Media Get Teens Using Cannabis
3 February 2023
FRIDAY, Feb. 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Laws bar advertising cannabis to teens, but that doesn’t mean they always work.In a new survey, researchers found that teens still see a lot of positive cannabis messages through social media posts.These messages influenced their intentions and actual use of cannabis, the survey found. When young people saw anti-cannabis messages, the intent to use lessened, but young people saw fewer of those messages, the study authors said.“Youth, in particular, have really grown up bombarded with cannabis information compared to previous generations,†said first author Jessica Willoughby, an associate professor of communications at Washington State University (WSU) in Pullman. “We found that they were seeing more positive messages about using...
