Doctors Often Prescribe Antidepressants for Pain, But Do They Really Work?
THURSDAY, Feb. 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Antidepressants are often prescribed to people suffering from chronic pain, but a new evidence review argues that the science behind these prescriptions is shaky at best.These drugs helped people in chronic pain in only a quarter of potential uses tested, and even then the effect ranged from low to moderate, according to a combined analysis of 26 prior reviews."We found that, for most pain conditions and types of antidepressants, the evidence of their effectiveness was either inconclusive or they were ineffective," said lead researcher Giovanni Ferreira, a research fellow at the University of Sydney Institute for Musculoskeletal Health in Australia.In particular, the review found scant evidence supporting the use of tricyclic antidepressants,...
Black Stroke Survivors Less Likely to Get Treated for...
2 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Having a stroke is a life-altering experience, and complications can crop up afterwards, but a new study finds the color of your skin may determine whether you are treated for them. In the year following a stroke, Black and Hispanic patients were not treated for common complications as often as white patients were, researchers found."Black patients were less likely to receive medical treatment for nearly every post-stroke complication, the largest differences were for the treatment of fatigue, depression and spasticity [muscle stiffness]," said lead researcher Dr. Kent Simmonds, from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. "The large magnitude of treatment gaps ensures the pressing need for health care systems and...
Do You Live in a 'Food Swamp'? It Could Be Raising Your...
2 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Americans who live near a "food swamp" may have a higher risk of suffering a stroke, a preliminary study finds.A number of studies have looked at the health consequences of living in a so-called food desert -- areas with few grocery stores or other options for buying fresh food.Food swamps are different: The term was coined to describe communities where fast food restaurants, convenience stores and other junk-food purveyors heavily outweigh healthier options like grocery stores and farmers' markets.The new study looked at whether Americans' stroke risk varies based on how far their county of residence veers into food swamp territory.It turned out it did: Among nearly 18,000 adults age 50 and older, those living in U.S. counties high on the...
Androstenedione: A Banned Bodybuilding Supplement You...
2 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Androstenedione is one of those supplements that was peddled to athletes for years as a quick path to bulging muscles and high testosterone levels, but it carries some grave dangers.Also known as "andro," the dietary supplement was once touted to enhance athletic performance by stimulating muscle growth and boosting testosterone levels. But once it enters the body, it acts like a steroid and can pose similar health risks. In October 2004, President George Bush signed the Anabolic Steroid Control Act, which reclassified androstenedione from a supplement to an anabolic steroid, making it and other steroid-based drugs a controlled substance. They are currently banned in sports.This was because a small number of studies of androstenedione led the...
AHA News: Pregnancy Complications Could Increase Woman's Stroke Risk at Earlier Age
2 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 2, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Women who have pregnancy-related health problems face an increased risk for having a stroke much earlier in life than their peers with uncomplicated pregnancies, a risk that climbs with each complicated pregnancy, new research suggests.The findings, which will be presented Feb. 8 at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference in Dallas, show women with two or more complicated pregnancies had double the risk for stroke before age 45, compared to women without serious complications."That's really young," said lead study author Dr. Eliza Miller, an assistant professor of neurology at Columbia University in New York City. "These women are still in their prime working years. They may be taking care of their...
AHA News: Las complicaciones durante el embarazo podrÃan aumentar el riesgo de derrame cerebral a temprana edad
2 February 2023
JUEVES, 2 de febrero de 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Las mujeres que presentan problemas de salud relacionados con el embarazo se enfrentan a un mayor riesgo de sufrir un derrame cerebral mucho más temprano en la vida que sus contemporáneas con embarazos sin complicaciones, un riesgo que se acrecienta con cada embarazo complicado, sugiere una nueva investigación.Las conclusiones, que se presentarán el 8 de febrero en la Conferencia Internacional sobre Derrame Cerebral, organizada por la American Stroke Association en Dallas, muestra que, para las mujeres con dos o más embarazos complicados, el riesgo de derrame cerebral antes de los 45 años se duplica, en comparación con mujeres sin complicaciones graves."Esa es una edad muy temprana", dijo la Dra. Eliza Miller,...
Caring for Teeth, Gums May Safeguard Aging Brains
2 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Taking good care of your teeth -- brushing, flossing, regular dental checkups -- is, of course, important for good health. Now researchers say it's also vital for brain health.While it was already clear that poor dental health could increase stroke and heart disease risk, a new study funds that adults who are genetically prone to have cavities, dentures and missing teeth are also more likely to show signs of declining brain health.That declining brain health could affect memory and the ability to think clearly and function in life.“Oral health is a quite easy to modify risk factor. It's one of the easiest. We just have to take better care of our oral health and it's not very costly or complicated,†said study co-author Dr. Cyprien Rivier,...

It literally saved my life," Hamlin said in an AHA news release.The challenge has three steps:Learn – Go to heart.org/3 to watch a minute-long video and learn...
