U.S. Mails Out Some COVID Tests That are About to Expire
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) – If you ordered COVID-19 tests through the federal government recently, you might want to check the expiration dates. Although the actual expiration had already been extended by six months for the iHealth COVID tests, some will still expire soon, CBS News reported.Nora Boydston, of Douglas County, Colo., was among those who ordered the four free tests in December, which arrived with expiration dates listed as this past July or August. Even after adding the extension by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, two of her tests expired Jan. 2, CBS News reported. The other two expire next month."I honestly thought when we ordered these, we would be getting something current that we could have on hand for a while," Boydstun told CBS News, noting...
Global Acceptance of COVID-19 Vaccines Is on the Rise
11 January 2023
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rose around the world between 2021 and 2022, wide gaps remain, according to new research.Teams from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health in Spain (ISGlobal) and City University of New York (CUNY) also noted the need to address vaccine hesitancy with tailored communication strategies.“The pandemic is not over, and authorities must urgently address vaccine hesitancy and resistance as part of their COVID-19 prevention and mitigation strategy,†said lead researcher Jeffrey Lazarus, head of the health systems research group at ISGlobal.For the study, researchers surveyed people in 23 countries that were hard hit by the COVID pandemic. Collectively, those nations include more than 60% of the world’s...
New Year: Time for Your Memory Screening Appointment
11 January 2023
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Many conditions cause memory issues, and early detection is essential for effective treatment, according to a national Alzheimer’s disease organization.The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) encourages people to get a memory screening in the new year. The foundation offers free, confidential virtual memory screenings. It doesn’t set a minimum age and there are no insurance prerequisites. “Annual memory screenings should be part of everyone’s health and wellness routine, even if you’re not currently experiencing memory problems. Just like other facets of our health, our brains need regular checkups, too,†said Charles Fuschillo, Jr., foundation president and CEO. “Start the new year off by being proactive about your brain...
Kids Living Near Airports Face Lead Poisoning Dangers
11 January 2023
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While U.S. policymakers have attempted to lower lead exposure among children since the 1970s, new research finds that kids living near airports are still being exposed to dangerous levels of the heavy metal.“Across an ensemble of tests, we find consistent evidence that the blood lead levels of children residing near the airport are pushed upward by the deposition of leaded aviation gasoline,†said study author Sammy Zahran, associate chair of economics at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. “This indicates we should support policy efforts to limit aviation lead emissions to safeguard the welfare of at-risk children,†Zahran said.When analyzing the blood lead levels of children under the age of 6 from 2011 to 2020, the...
Study Pushes Back Smallpox Origins Another 2,000 Years
11 January 2023
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While the origins of smallpox has remained a mystery for centuries, researchers now believe that it dates back 2,000 years earlier than previously thought.Until recently, the earliest genetic evidence of smallpox, the variola virus, was from the 1600s. And in 2020, researchers found evidence of it in the dental remains of Viking skeletons, pushing its existence 1,000 years earlier.Now, Italian scientists have used a mathematical equation to pinpoint the beginnings of smallpox, and coupled with pox scarring seen on ancient Egyptian mummies, they have pushed the emergence of the virus back 3,800 years.“Variola virus may be much, much older than we thought,†said study first author Dr. Diego Forni, from the Scientific Institute IRCCS...
Adults May Be Losing Immunity to Mumps. Are Boosters Needed?
10 January 2023
TUESDAY, Jan. 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Despite routine use of a childhood vaccine, the United States still sees outbreaks of mumps. Now, a new study reinforces the belief that it's due to waning immunity post-vaccination.Mumps is a viral infection best known for causing puffy cheeks, a swollen jaw, fever and general misery. While it's usually relatively mild, mumps occasionally causes serious complications like brain inflammation and hearing loss.Because of that, children in the United States are routinely immunized against mumps, using the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine.Yet mumps has seen a resurgence in the past two decades. Since 2006, there has been an uptick in annual cases -- often among college-age adults who were vaccinated as children, according to the U.S. Centers...
Blood Test Might Warn of Dangerous Complication of Pregnancy
10 January 2023
TUESDAY, Jan. 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental blood test could one day provide early warning for a life-threatening complication of pregnancy, a new study reports.Placenta accreta occurs when the placenta — the food and oxygen source for a fetus — grows too deeply into the wall of a woman’s uterus.The condition can cause a woman to bleed to death following delivery, especially if it hasn’t been detected beforehand, said study leader Dr. Hope Yu, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.Unfortunately, up to half of placenta accreta goes undiagnosed prior to delivery, the researchers noted.The new test appears to accurately detect emerging cases of placenta accreta by looking for microparticle proteins associated with the...
Federal Agency Mulls Ban on Gas Stoves Due to Health Concerns
10 January 2023
TUESDAY, Jan. 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Gas stoves could face new emissions standards or even be banned because of their link to indoor air pollutants and childhood asthma, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).The federal agency will open public comment on gas cooking stoves and their hazards sometime this winter, Bloomberg News reported.“This is a hidden hazard,†agency commissioner Richard Trumka Jr., said in an interview. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.â€About 12% of childhood asthma cases can be linked to gas stove use, according to a recent study in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.“There is about 50 years of health studies showing that gas stoves are bad for...
