AHA News: Report Highlights Lack of Medical Worker Diversity – And How to Fix That
THURSDAY, Jan. 5, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Racial and ethnic diversity among medical workers is critical to Americans' health, but more needs to be done to recruit, train and support those professionals, a new report says.The report, published Thursday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, describes barriers to a diverse workforce, highlights statistics on the problem and suggests ways for leaders to reshape the system to address it.At its core, the issue is about caring for people, said first author Dr. Norissa Haynes, an assistant professor of medicine at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. "Having a diverse workforce, and having a physician who understands your lived experience, improves patient care and...
3-Week Program Effective in Helping to Ease...
5 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A short but intensive approach to "talk therapy" can help many combat veterans overcome post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a new clinical trial has found.The study tested "compressed" formats of a standard PTSD treatment called prolonged exposure therapy, in which patients learn to gradually face the trauma-related memories they normally avoid.Traditionally, that has meant therapy once a week, over the course of a few months.But while prolonged exposure therapy is often effective for PTSD, there is room for improvement, according to Alan Peterson, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.In general, he said, prolonged exposure (PE) therapy does not work as well for combat veterans as it does...
Good Parental Leave Gives Big Boost to Moms' Mental Health
5 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Generous parental leave policies at work can do wonders for a new mom's mental health.This is among the key messages from a new review of 45 studies examining how parental leave policies affect mom and dad’s mental health and well-being.Mothers working for companies with generous parental leave policies were less likely to experience symptoms of depression, poor mental health, psychological distress, burnout, or to require mental health care.The more generous the policy, the greater and more long-lasting the benefits, the new Swedish study showed.“Parental leave was protective against poorer maternal mental health including depressive symptoms, general mental health, psychological distress and burnout; however, improved mental health among...
Patients, Doctors Await FDA Decision on Experimental...
5 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Lecanemab: It's an experimental medication that's been shown in trials to slow cognitive decline in people with Alzheimer’s disease. It's also up for accelerated approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, with a decision expected by Jan. 6.However, the drug has also been linked to two deaths from brain bleeds among people who’ve used it in trials, so safety concerns could threaten any approval. If approved, the drug — made by Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai — would follow the controversial drug Aduhelm to become only the second medication ever approved to slow Alzheimer’s disease. Not every patient would stand to benefit from lecanemab, stressed the Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. Babak Tousi. He led the portion of the...
Medical, Surgical Abortions Are Very Safe: Review
5 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling last June, many feared that abortion bans would jeopardize the health of pregnant women.Several months later, a conservative group known as the Alliance Defending Freedom sued the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to reverse their decades-old approval of the abortion pill mifepristone, claiming lingering safety concerns over the medication.But a new study of more than 39,000 Canadian women shows that both medical (pill-based) and surgical first-trimester abortions are safe and effective, although there were slightly more complications seen with medical abortion, the study showed.Medical abortion involves two drugs that can end an early pregnancy: mifepristone and...
Be Aggressive With Initial Brain Tumor Surgery to Boost Survival: Study
5 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Researchers studying patients with low-grade, slow-growing brain tumors have found that more aggressive surgery may extend survival. The trick to treating low-grade gliomas is to remove as much of them as possible soon after diagnosis, researchers at University of California, San Francisco found.“Our findings put an end to the controversy that maximal resection [tumor removal] may not be required for some low-grade gliomas,†said study co-author Dr. Shawn Hervey-Jumper, an associate professor in the UCSF department of neurological surgery.Low-grade gliomas are diagnosed in 20,000 people, mostly young adults and those in midlife, each year in the United States, the study noted. After surgery, undetectable pockets of tumor cells grow...
How a 'Dry January' Could Help Your Health
5 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Having a “dry January,†or giving up alcohol for the first month of the year, is a trend. And it’s not a bad idea, according to a drug and alcohol rehab counselor with Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. Not consuming alcohol can have many health benefits, said Alan Berki, from sleeping better and having more time for other hobbies to saving money."The condition of your skin, the increased amount of energy that you have, if you're not replacing the alcohol with candy or sweets — because you may start to crave those a little more if you stop drinking — you'll definitely experience weight loss,†Berki said.One group should not take part, Berki cautioned. Those are heavy drinkers, who should talk with their doctors first because withdrawal...
How Unhealthy Are Cigars?
5 January 2023
THURSDAY, Jan. 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Cigars are linked with victory, new babies and Winston Churchill, not nicotine addiction, but are they any better for your health than cigarettes?No, say experts who point out the many dangers of cigar smoking.Over the past few decades, through clever marketing, cigar smoking has taken on a rarified aura, with cigar bars and magazines like Cigar Aficionado devoted to a cigar-smoking lifestyle that appeals to male fantasies of power and class. It's also a way to relax because it is a more leisurely smoke than the frenetic rush of a cigarette. What are cigars made of? Unlike cigarettes, they are all tobacco from the inside to the tobacco leaf wrapper. Do cigars have nicotine? Like cigarettes, they contain nicotine and the same cancer-causing...
