Suicidal Service Members With Guns at Home Often Keep Feelings Secret: Study
MONDAY, Jan. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Military service members who conceal their suicidal thoughts are also more likely to store their guns unsafely, a new study reveals. “These findings highlight a real problem with our suicide prevention system,†said Michael Anestis, lead author of the study and executive director of the New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center at Rutgers University in New Jersey.“We know that firearms account for the large majority of suicide deaths within the military and that unsecured firearms at home dramatically increase the risk for suicide," Anestis said in a Rutgers news release. "Here, we found that suicidal service members less likely to be seen as high risk — those that hide their thoughts from others and avoid behavioral health care — tend...

EPA Proposes Tougher Rules on Air Pollution
9 January 2023
MONDAY, Jan. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- For the first time in a decade, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed strengthening standards on fine soot in the air, a known contributor to serious health issues.Under the new proposal, standards for fine particulate pollution, known as PM 2.5, would change from a level of 12 micrograms per cubic meter to a level between nine and 10 micrograms per cubic meter. The standards haven't been altered since 2012.The EPA estimates that with a standard of 9 micrograms per cubic meter, there would be up to 4,200 fewer premature deaths a year, 270,000 fewer lost workdays and as much as $43 billion in net health benefits in 2032.The agency will take comment on the full range of recommendations on soot standards included in the latest...

9 January 2023
MONDAY, Jan. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new way of allocating donor lungs that eliminates geographical restrictions could save more lives, new research suggests.In early 2023, the current U.S. system, which looks for compatible candidates within a fixed radius, will be replaced by the Composite Allocation Score. The new score will prioritize a candidate's medical needs.“The importance of removing the geographical barrier can’t be overstated here,†said study author Dr. Maryam Valapour, senior investigator for lung transplantation at the U.S. Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR). “The Composite Allocation Score system’s goal of making access to lung transplant more equitable for all candidates in the United States will help reduce waitlist [death rates] and...

MONDAY, Jan. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- One low-cost intervention could make a difference in America's epidemic of opioid overdoses, a new study suggests.When health care providers were notified that one of their patients had died from an overdose, they wrote fewer opioid prescriptions for up to a year later.The University of Southern California (USC) study built upon earlier findings that letters like these could reduce opioid prescribing over a few months.For the new study, they sent letters to 809 clinicians — predominantly medical doctors — who had prescribed opioids to 166 people who then suffered fatal overdoses in San Diego County.The letter was intended to be informative and respectful in tone, according to the study authors. It provided information about safer...
