Fighting Liver Cancer Takes Big Financial Toll: Study
THURSDAY, Feb. 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Out-of-pocket costs can leave Medicare patients with the most common type of liver cancer in financial distress.While Medicare payments in the first year after diagnosis with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) exceeded $65,000, out-of-pocket costs were more than $10,000, a new study found.“As has been shown for other cancer types, we found patients with liver cancer suffer from high cancer-related financial burden,†said study co-author Dr. Amit Singal, a professor of internal medicine at University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas. "Financial toxicity of cancer therapy can negatively impact patients, resulting in medical debt and even bankruptcy for some patients," Singal said in a university news release.The researchers said the cost of liver...
Pregnancy Complications Could Mean Lifelong Heart Risks...
2 February 2023
THURSDAY, Feb. 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Major pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia and preterm birth, should be recognized as lifelong risk factors for women's heart disease, new research suggests. Women who experience any of the five major pregnancy complications have an increased risk of ischemic heart disease up to 46 years after delivery, says the study published Feb. 1 in the BMJ. The five complications are: preterm delivery (less than 37 weeks gestation), small baby for gestational age at birth, preeclampsia (a blood pressure disorder), other blood pressure disorders of pregnancy, and gestational diabetes.“Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes should be considered for early preventive evaluation and long-term risk reduction to help prevent the development of...
Estrogen Exposure Could Impact a Woman's Odds for Stroke
1 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When it comes to reducing stroke risk among women, new research suggests that the more estrogen a woman is exposed to over the course of her life, the better. The finding follows nearly a decade spent tracking stroke risk among roughly 123,000 Chinese postmenopausal women.In the end, investigators concluded that those who had a relatively long reproductive period before menopause appeared to face a lower risk for both an ischemic stroke and a hemorrhagic stroke.An ischemic stroke is the most common form of stroke, brought on by blood flow blockage to the brain. A hemorrhagic stroke is brought on by bleeding in the brain.“These results were unexpected and provide new insights into the associations between reproductive factors and the risk of...
Sleeping Pills Linked to Higher Risk for Dementia
1 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Seniors who frequently take sleeping medications may be raising their risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease, a new study warns.Sleep medications are one of the most commonly used medications in older adults, the authors say, but their frequent use may not be without harm.Researchers found that older white adults who said they “often†or “almost always†took sleep aids had a 79% higher chance of developing dementia compared to those who “never†or “rarely†used them. The connection was only seen among white adults, not Black participants.In addition, “further studies are needed to confirm whether sleep medications themselves are harmful for cognition in older adults or [if] frequent use of sleep medications is an...
CDC Warns of Dangerous Infection Risk With EzriCare Eyedrops
1 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. health officials are investigating whether a specific brand of over-the-counter eyedrops are behind one death and dozens of bacterial infections in several states.The infections have not been traced to preservative-free EzriCare Artificial Tears, but a majority of people who became ill reported using the drops, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement. The agency found the bacteria in bottles of the eyedrops, and it's now testing to see if the strain found in the eyedrop bottles matches that found in patients.CDC officials recommended that "patients immediately discontinue the use of EzriCare Artificial Tears until the epidemiological investigation and laboratory analyses are complete."At least 50 people in...

AHA News: 11 Things to Know to Save a Life With CPR
1 February 2023
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 1, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- When a heart stops, seconds matter. But too often, when someone has a cardiac arrest away from a hospital, people in a position to help don't.Misunderstandings about CPR can keep people from acting. That costs lives. We asked experts to help clear things up.You can't wait.If you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, call 911 and don't wait for professional rescuers, said Dr. Jose Cabañas, chief medical officer for Wake County, North Carolina.Each minute that CPR is delayed decreases the odds of survival by about 10%, research has shown. But having a bystander perform CPR doubles or triples the chances of somebody surviving, said Cabañas, who helped write the American Heart Association's 2020 CPR guidelines.The steps for...
