Swimmers Face a Little Known Danger: Fluid on the Lungs
10 January 2023
TUESDAY, Jan. 10, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The swimmer came to shore struggling to breathe and coughing up blood.A keen competitive long-distance swimmer and triathlete, the woman was fit and healthy when she started a nighttime open water swim event.But a couple weeks earlier, she’d had breathing difficulties during another open water swim that had forced her to abandon the event. She’d felt breathless for days after.The woman, in her 50s, had fallen prey to what’s becoming better known as a hazard associated with open water swimming – fluid on the lungs, or pulmonary edema.Open water swimming has become very popular, but mounting evidence points to a link between the activity and a condition called swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE), according to Dr. James Oldman, lead...
In Study, Reminder Letters Helped Doctors Make Safer...
10 January 2023
TUESDAY, Jan. 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Could a simple letter prompt doctors to prescribe opioids more safely?Yes, claims new research that found reminding doctors to check a prescription database before doling out opioids increased their engagement with the program, having the potential to create more informed prescribing.The study enrolled clinicians in Minnesota who prescribed opioids with benzodiazepines or gabapentinoids, which when taken together can increase overdose risk. The researchers hypothesized that with greater use of state prescription monitoring programs (PMPs), doctors could avoid risky prescribing. While nearly all states now have PMPs tracking prescriptions, many clinicians still do not use them.“PMPs could help clinicians prescribe opioids and other drugs more...

9 January 2023
MONDAY, Jan. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Older women who don’t stick to a set sleep and wake schedule may be more likely to struggle with feelings of depression and anxiety — even if they get a normal amount of zzzs.What’s more, a postmenopausal woman who goes to bed very early and wakes up very early (an “early birdâ€) or goes to bed late and wakes up later (a “night owlâ€) is 70% more likely to experience significant depressive symptoms — even with a normal amount of sleep, a new study suggests.The study wasn’t designed to say whether sleep is the chicken, the egg, or both when it comes to mood. “It could definitely be the case that the women in our study who had depressive symptoms had a different type of sleep schedule because they were depressed, or that their...

9 January 2023
MONDAY, Jan. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- People who use medical marijuana to treat their chronic pain tend to cut their use of opioids and other painkillers, but the trend may also have a downside, a new survey shows.Folks treating chronic pain with cannabis reduced by more than 50%, on average, their use of prescription opioids, other prescription painkillers and even over-the-counter pain medications like aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol) or naproxen (Aleve), the researchers reported.“Most people who use cannabis to manage their chronic pain have said that in doing so, it resulted in lower use of their prescription medicines and specifically prescription opioids,†said lead researcher Dr. Mark Bicket. He is an assistant professor of anesthesiology with the University of Michigan's...
