AHA News: NFL Player's Cardiac Arrest Was a Triggering, Traumatic Event for Many
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 4, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- When Damar Hamlin's heart stopped, millions held their breath.Monday night in Cincinnati, the 24-year-old football player for the Buffalo Bills had a cardiac arrest after making a tackle. In the packed stadium, thousands watched as medical workers performed CPR and used an automated external defibrillator to restore his heartbeat. Players and coaches hugged, wept and prayed as he was taken away in an ambulance.As of Wednesday morning, he remained in intensive care at a Cincinnati hospital."Obviously we saw the coaches, players, and those who tuned into the game all traumatized," said NFL executive Troy Vincent during a call with reporters Monday night. Vincent, a former cornerback, was among the veteran players who said...
Is Your Specialist Friends With Your Primary Care...
4 January 2023
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 4, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Patients might be happier with their care when their physician trained with the specialist they're referred to, a new study suggests.Researchers found that when patients saw a specialist, they generally gave better ratings to their care if that doctor had gone to medical school with their primary care provider. On the whole, they said those specialists take more time to talk with them, give clear explanations, and involve them in health care decisions.If that sounds puzzling, the researchers said the explanation may be fairly simple: Doctors are just like everyone else, and up their game when their peers are "watching.""Doctors are people, too, and most of us want to perform at our best in front of a familiar, respected peer," said senior...
Millions Could Lose Medicaid by April as Pandemic Rules Ease
4 January 2023
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 4, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Millions of Americans are about to lose Medicaid coverage that they gained — and maintained hassle-free — through the pandemic.The end-of-year spending bill that Congress passed will “unwind†a continuous Medicaid enrollment requirement that states had to honor to get additional federal pandemic funds, explained Jennifer Tolbert, director of state health reform for the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF).“Essentially, if states took the enhanced federal funding, they were prohibited from dis-enrolling anyone from Medicaid, beginning in March of 2020,†Tolbert said.As a result, Medicaid enrollment swelled by about 20 million people during the pandemic, as people who otherwise would have lost eligibility remained enrolled, KFF estimated....
Procrastinators May Delay All the Way to Worse Health
4 January 2023
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 4, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- College students who routinely cram at the last minute may not only see their grades suffer, but their health, too, a new study suggests.Researchers found that of more than 3,500 college students they followed, those who scored high on a procrastination scale were more likely to report certain health issues nine months later. The list included body aches, poor sleep, and depression and anxiety symptoms.Experts said the findings do not prove that procrastination, per se, directly caused those problems — by, for example, delaying a medical visit and allowing a niggling health issue to worsen.But they do reinforce the fact that procrastination, when chronic, is a red flag."Everyone procrastinates, but not everyone is a procrastinator," said...
What Are Quit-Smoking Programs and How Can They Help You?
4 January 2023
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 4, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Sometimes it really does "take a village" to help you meet life's challenges, and quitting smoking can be one of the toughest challenges out there. That's why specially designed smoking-cessation programs can make all the difference, experts say.Many programs employ a combination approach, one that treats the physical and the psychological addictions you're trying to break.Dr. Amit Mahajan, a volunteer medical spokesperson for the American Lung Association (ALA), says proven ways to help people quit often include professional counseling — including psychotherapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Such therapies are typically given alongside nicotine replacement patches and gums (to help ease cravings), and/or addiction-countering...
AHA News: Heart Attack at 46 Led to a New Heart and New Outlook on Life
4 January 2023
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 4, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Eddie Garcia juggled roles as the chief of staff for an elected official and the president of a school board. The positions seemed to be wearing him down.At 46, he felt short of breath, his neck was sore and he had chest pain. Could it be a panic attack, he wondered?Later that day, a trip to a clinic led to a trip to the emergency room, and then to a diagnosis: One of the main arteries in his heart was 100% blocked. He was having a heart attack.Doctors inserted a stent to restore blood flow and keep the artery open. In the next 10 days, Garcia returned to the hospital twice because he felt fatigued and easily winded. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. In the second of those subsequent hospitalizations, Garcia's...
New Insight Into How Dry Eyes Can Weaken Corneas
4 January 2023
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 4, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers studying dry eye disease in mice have found that the condition can alter how the cornea heals itself. They have also identified potential treatments.“We have drugs, but they only work well in about 10% to 15% of patients,†said senior researcher Dr. Rajendra Apte, a professor at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. “In this study involving genes that are key to eye health, we identified potential targets for treatment that appear different in dry eyes than in healthy eyes.â€Tens of millions of people around the world, including 15 million in the United States, have eye pain and blurred vision as a result of complications and injury associated with dry eye disease, Apte said in a university news...
What Is Glaucoma, and How Can You Prevent It?
4 January 2023
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 4, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A comprehensive eye exam could be the key to determining if you have glaucoma, a silent thief of sight. Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that affect the optic nerve, and the leading cause of preventable blindness, according to The Glaucoma Foundation.But most people are unaware of their risk.Glaucoma affects about 80 million people worldwide, and that number is expected to reach almost 112 million by 2040.The condition can run in families. It disproportionately affects people of color.Most people are diagnosed after age 40, and at least half of glaucoma patients had no symptoms until their vision was already significantly damaged.As many as 1.5 million Americans are unaware that glaucoma is silently damaging their optic nerves right now,...
