Most Clergy Agree With Science on Treatment of Depression: Study
FRIDAY, Jan. 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Worries that clergy will urge depressed congregants to rely on prayer and not other mental health care appear to be unfounded.A nationwide survey found that 90% of clergy members embraced a medical understanding of the causes and treatment of depression. About 10% said they would recommend using religious means alone to address depression.“We consider this good news,†said study co-author Mark Chaves, a professor of sociology, religious studies and divinity at Duke University in Durham, N.C.“We’ve known for a while that a lot of people bring their mental health challenges to clergy,†he said in a university news release. “There’s been concern about what clergy have been telling them. Have they been telling them just to pray, or to...
Pharmacists Can Be Key to Helping Folks Kick Opioid...
13 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Pharmacists could play an important role in helping curb the U.S. opioid epidemic, a new study suggests.Researchers studied the impact of a Rhode Island law allowing specially trained pharmacists to prescribe buprenorphine, a medication used to treat opioid use disorder.The study began with 100 patients who received the medication at a pharmacy. After they were stabilized, 58 were randomly selected to receive further care either through the pharmacy or in a clinic or physician’s office.After one month, the pharmacy group had dramatically higher rates of continued care. About 89% were still receiving care, compared to 17% who had switched to a physician or clinic.“We have a serious treatment gap. We are missing 90% of the people with opioid...
Ban on Menthols Won't Push Smokers to Black Market...
13 January 2023
FRIDAY, Jan. 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Despite tobacco industry claims, a new study found that banning menthol-flavored cigarettes did not lead to more people purchasing illicit smokes.Researchers at the University of Waterloo surveyed smokers to study the impact of a menthol cigarette ban in Canada. Smokers of both menthol and non-menthol cigarettes were surveyed before and after Canada’s ban, and asked about their usual cigarette brand and the last one they bought.Smokers who were still smoking after the menthol ban were also asked where they last purchased cigarettes.After the ban, researchers found no change in purchasing cigarettes from First Nations reserves, the main source of illicit cigarettes in Canada.“The tobacco industry has a long history of claiming that policies...
Too Few Kids Are Getting Recommended Vaccines, CDC Warns
12 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Vaccinations among kindergarteners declined for the second year in a row, leaving hundreds of thousands of young children vulnerable to dangerous infectious diseases, U.S. health officials reported Thursday.About 93% of kindergarteners had their required vaccinations during the 2021-2022 school year, including the measles/mumps/rubella (MMR), diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis, polio and chickenpox vaccines, according to a new study published Jan. 13 in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), a publication of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.That’s down from 94% nationwide during the 2020-2021 school year and 95% for the 2019-2020 school year, the report found.“While this might not sound significant, it means nearly...
DNA Fragments in Blood Promise Cheap, Easy Test for Cancer
12 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers are reporting progress on a blood test that can detect multiple cancers in a relatively simpler, and potentially less pricey, way than other tests under development.The test picks up certain cancer signals in the blood using a fairly straightforward method: counting bits of DNA that appear to be "broken" in unexpected places.In the new study, scientists found that the approach can distinguish people with any of 11 different types of cancer from people who are cancer-free. Not only that, it can do so using a relatively small blood sample, according to senior researcher Dr. Muhammed Murtaza, of the University of Wisconsin's School of Medicine and Public Health, in Madison.That's relative to other blood tests that are under...
Weightlifting Your Way to Weight Loss
12 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Look at a bodybuilder who has bulked up with bulging muscles, and it might not seem that lifting weights can shed pounds. But first impressions can be deceiving.Instead, experts say, building muscle can indeed be one way to transform your body and lose weight. “Weightlifting activates your large muscle groups and, when done appropriately, can burn more calories than steady state cardio,†said Dr. Russell Camhi, who works in primary care sports medicine for Northwell Health's Orthopaedic Institute in Smithtown, N.Y.Still, weightlifting on its own is not the key to weight loss. At least 80% of weight loss is through nutrition, Camhi said. “No matter what exercise program you choose you will not lose weight if you are not monitoring your...
What Exercise 'Snack' Is Best for Your Health?
12 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Millions of adults spend too much time at a desk or in front of a screen, and experts have long advised them to sit less, move more.But if lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar and a mood boost are the goals, what's the bare minimum of movement that will get the job done?Apparently just five minutes of walking every 30 minutes.That’s the finding of a small, new study that compared the benefits of five exercise “snacks†— small bursts of exercise spread out during the day.“We’ve found in our past research that, on average, adults in the U.S. spend over three-quarters of their day sedentary, or about 11 to 12 hours a day,†said study co-author Keith Diaz. He directs Columbia University’s Exercise Testing Laboratory at the...
Fast Food May Be Toxic to Your Liver
12 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Do your liver a favor and steer clear of fast food, new research urges.People with obesity or diabetes who consumed 20% or more of their daily calories from fast food had severely elevated levels of fat in their liver compared to those who ate less fast food or none.Even the general U.S. population had moderate increases in liver fat when fast food made up one-fifth or more of their diet, the study found.“Healthy livers contain a small amount of fat, usually less than 5%, and even a moderate increase in fat can lead to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease,†said lead study author Dr. Ani Kardashian. She is a hepatologist with University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine, in Los Angeles. “The severe rise in liver fat in...
