Nearly 1 in 4 Hospital Patients Have Harmful Event During Their Stay
THURSDAY, Jan. 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Nearly one quarter of hospitalized people experience a harmful event during their stay, a new study finds.However, most of the bad outcomes are not preventable because they’re related to known side effects from medications or risks of surgery. The findings were published Jan. 11 in the New England Journal of Medicine.“These numbers are disappointing, but not shocking,†study author Dr. David Bates, chief of general medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, told NBC News. “They do show we still have lots of work to do.â€His team used data from the medical records of more than 2,800 patients who were hospitalized in 11 Boston-area hospitals during 2018. The data showed that while at the hospital, 663 of these patients had...
Black, Hispanic People With Epilepsy Often Miss Out on...
12 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- American adults who have epilepsy and are Black or Hispanic are less likely than white adults to be prescribed the latest medications, according to new research.“While finding the right medication is often a trial-and-error process that is based on the individual, studies have shown that use of newer medications improves outcomes, and some newer medications have fewer side effects,†said study author Wyatt Bensken, a health disparities investigator at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. “These results show that a sizeable proportion of people may not be on an optimal treatment regimen, and the differences appear to reflect clear racial and ethnic inequities in care,†Bensken added.The researchers studied the issue...
How Much Weight Loss Per Month Is Safe?
12 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- So, after a month of holiday eating, your pants are too tight and you're desperate to lose the extra weight as quickly as possible, but how much can you lose in a month? Experts say there is no speedy way to shed pounds.How long does it take to lose weight? According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people who succeed do it gradually at about 1 to 2 pounds per week, which translates into 4 to 8 pounds a month.Because safely losing weight is such a gradual process, it can take six months or more to lose 30 pounds. But it's well worth it as you change your lifestyle and look and feel better, experts say.Losing weight permanently is really a matter of changing your lifestyle and diet. The best way is to set safe,...
Could 6 Minutes of Exercise Help Shield Your Brain From...
12 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Six minutes of high-intensity exercise might prolong the lifespan of a healthy brain, perhaps delaying the start of Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s diseases, a new, small study suggests.Researchers found that short but intense cycling increased the production of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is essential for brain formation, learning and memory. It's thought that BDNF might protect the brain from age-related mental decline.“BDNF has shown great promise in animal models, but pharmaceutical interventions have thus far failed to safely harness the protective power of BDNF in humans," said lead study author Travis Gibbons, from the University of Otago in New Zealand. "We saw the need to explore...
Vaccinated Moms' Breast Milk Could Protect Baby From COVID
12 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Infants too young to be vaccinated for COVID-19 get some protection from their mothers’ breast milk, researchers say.The new study follows up on findings published in 2021 that showed the breast milk of vaccinated people contained antibodies against the COVID-19 virus.For the study, researchers analyzed infants’ stool.“Our first study showed there were SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the breast milk, but we couldn’t say if those antibodies were getting through the babies’ gastrointestinal tract and possibly providing protection there,†said senior study author Joseph Larkin III. He is an associate professor in the University of Florida/Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, in Gainesville.Larkin and his team used a technique known...
Bivalent COVID Boosters Offer No Extra Protection, Studies Suggest
11 January 2023
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The updated COVID-19 vaccine boosters intended to defend people against emerging Omicron variants don’t appear to provide any better protection than the original shot does, two new studies find.The new mRNA bivalent boosters produced by Moderna and Pfizer only attack the COVID-19 virus about as well as the companies’ first-wave vaccines, according to a blood testing study led by renowned virologist Dr. David Ho, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Columbia University, in New York City.The bivalent shots also failed to promote higher antibody levels or a better immune response than the original COVID-19 vaccines, according to another study led by Dr. Dan Barouch, director of the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research at Beth...
Happy, Loved Teens Become Heart-Healthier as Adults
11 January 2023
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When teenagers feel good about themselves and their lives, it may also do their hearts good in the long run, a new study suggests.Researchers found that teenagers who generally felt happy, optimistic and loved went on to show better cardiovascular health in their 20s and 30s, versus kids who lacked that level of mental well-being. Overall, they were more likely to maintain a healthy weight, as well as normal blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels. And having such positive feelings appeared particularly important for Black teenagers' future health.The idea that kids' well-being can affect their health well into adulthood is not new. Studies have shown that childhood obesity, for example, is tied to increased risks of various...

11 January 2023
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been released from a Buffalo hospital just nine days after he suffered cardiac arrest during a Monday night football game.
