You Can Prevent Sports Overuse Injuries
FRIDAY, Jan. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- “Move it or lose it†the saying goes, but too much exercise or playing sports can lead to overuse injuries. These injuries include damage to bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles due to repetitive actions, such running, throwing, biking, lifting and swimming, to name a few.An overuse injury can be the result of poor training techniques such as doing too much too fast; not warming up or cooling down; failing to take enough time to recover after exercise; or not doing the proper cross training to support the activity.Shoulder impingementShoulder impingement is an overuse injury in the rotator cuff -- the muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint. It is caused by “repetitive overhead activities while the shoulder joint is in a...
In a First, Medicaid Extends Coverage to Prison Inmates
27 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Some inmates in California could begin getting certain limited health services, including substance abuse treatment and mental health diagnoses, using Medicaid funds.Typically, inmates lose Medicaid coverage while in the prison, jail or juvenile justice system. This change will be the first time ever that Medicaid has provided some coverage for inmates, the Associated Press reported. The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is allowing this only in California for now, in a program that could become a model for other states. Care would begin 90 days before someone is scheduled to be released, offering supports that don’t now exist. It will provide more stability for inmates and juvenile detainees upon their release, CMS...
AHA News: Researchers Take a Closer Look at What...
27 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 27, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- People hospitalized with COVID-19 may have an increased risk for heart damage, but not so much the type of inflammation previous research suggested, according to a new study.Early in the pandemic, several studies suggested many COVID-19 survivors experienced heart damage even if they didn't have underlying heart disease and weren't sick enough to be hospitalized. The new study, published Friday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, examined the nature and extent of the heart damage and inflammation in the sickest people with COVID-19.Researchers looked at 342 COVID-19 patients with high levels of the protein troponin in 25 United Kingdom hospitals between June 2020 and March 2021. Elevated levels of troponin in...
Is Your Gas Stove Making You Sick? Experts Weigh In
27 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Natural gas stoves have become the latest flashpoint in America’s increasingly volatile political culture, after a top federal regulator publicly mulled over banning the appliances."This is a hidden hazard," the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) commissioner, Richard Trumka Jr., said in an interview. "Any option is on the table. Products that can't be made safe can be banned."Trumka quickly walked back that statement, saying that the agency wants to assess the hazards posed by indoor gas stove emissions but has no plans to ban gas stoves.But the question now is on the front burner — to what extent do gas stoves pose a health hazard to the average American?A growing body of evidence shows that gas stoves do indeed emit a wide...
FDA Says No to Regulating CBD Products as Supplements
27 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Thursday it can't regulate CBD supplements because there isn't enough evidence on their safety. The agency also called on Congress to create new rules for what has become a burgeoning industry."The use of CBD raises various safety concerns, especially with long-term use," FDA Deputy Commissioner Dr. Janet Woodcock said in a statement. "Studies have shown the potential for harm to the liver, interactions with certain medications and possible harm to the male reproductive system. CBD exposure is also concerning when it comes to certain vulnerable populations such as children and those who are pregnant.""The FDA’s existing foods and dietary supplement authorities provide only limited tools for managing...
Updated Booster Shots, Not Original COVID Vaccines, Should Be Standard: FDA Panel
27 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 26, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's vaccine advisory panel on Thursday voted unanimously to recommend that the agency phase out original versions of COVID vaccines for use in the unvaccinated, in favor of updated bivalent booster shots.Committee members also weighed a proposal to streamline the dosing schedule for COVID vaccines by turning them into annual shots that would likely be given every fall.However, the committee did not vote on the proposal because many questions remain and more data on exactly who should get those annual shots, and exactly when, is sorely needed. Still, they agreed that COVID vaccines do need to become more routine, to clear up public confusion and hopefully boost vaccination rates.Such a move would be...
Risks for Heart Failure Rise in Rural America
27 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Adults who live in rural areas, and Black men in particular, are at much higher risk for developing heart failure.Heart failure is a chronic, progressive condition that develops when the heart fails to pump enough blood for the body’s needs. Researchers from the U.S. National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn., analyzed data from a long-term health study of adults in the southeastern United States.They found that, overall, adults who live in rural areas of the United States had a 19% higher risk of developing heart failure compared to those living in urban areas. For Black men in rural areas, that risk was 34% higher."We did not expect to find a difference of this magnitude in...
Got an Extra Chromosome? It Could Harm You
27 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers have uncovered a serious risk for folks who have an extra X or Y chromosome.Those with the genetic condition known as supernumerary sex chromosome aneuploidy have a risk for blood clots in a deep vein or lung that’s four or five times higher than usual, a new study shows.“An additional X or Y chromosome is more common than many people think, but it does not often receive clinical attention,†said study co-author Matthew Oetjens. He's an assistant professor at Geisinger Health System’s Autism & Developmental Medicine Institute in Union County, Pa. “Our study shows that there are underappreciated health risks associated with these disorders that could change medical care if known in advance,†Oetjens added in a health...
