Valium, Xanax Prescriptions Could Raise Overdose Risk in Youth
TUESDAY, Nov. 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Teenagers and young adults who use benzodiazepines to treat insomnia may be at heightened risk of overdose, a new study finds.Benzodiazepines include anxiety medications like Ativan, Klonopin, Valium and Xanax, as well as prescription sleep aids such as estazolam (ProSom), triazolam (Halcion) and temazepam (Restoril).In the new study, researchers found that young people prescribed those medications for insomnia were at increased risk of overdose within the next six months. Compared with teens and young adults prescribed other sleep medications, their odds of overdose were 44% higher."This should be an important safety consideration when treating young people for insomnia," said lead researcher Greta Bushnell, of the Rutgers Institute for...
Second Death in Trial of Experimental Alzheimer's Drug...
29 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Two people have now died from brain hemorrhages that may be linked to an experimental Alzheimer’s drug, calling into question the medication’s safety.A 65-year-old woman with early-stage Alzheimer’s recently died from a massive brain bleed that some researchers link to lecanemab, an antibody drug designed to bind to and remove amyloid-beta from the brain, according to a report published Nov. 27 in Science Insider.The woman suffered a stroke as well as a type of brain swelling and bleeding that has been previously seen with such antibodies, the report noted. ER doctors at Northwestern University Medical Center in Chicago treated the woman with a common but powerful clot-busting drug, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). She immediately had...
Need for Organ Transplants Surges at Big Motorcycle...
29 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Once a year, giant motorcycle rallies ride into places like Daytona Beach, Fla., and Sturgis, S.D., bringing hundreds of thousands of people, an economic boost -- and a wave of crash-related deaths. That means more organs available for donation and the need to be prepared, according to a new study that examined the issue.Researchers looked at seven major U.S. rallies between 2005 and 2021 that each drew between 200,000 and 500,000 people.During these events, there were 21% more organ donors per day and 26% more transplant recipients on average in the regions near the rallies compared to the weeks before and after the events. "That highlights a clear need to improve the safety of the public and the attendees around these events," said co-author...
AHA News: 3 Heart Surgeries and a Mini-Stroke by Age 35....
29 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 29, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- For his first 29 years, Justin Cadelago thought little about his heart. The exception was even a fun memory: he got to leave school early once a year to visit his pediatric cardiologist.Cadelago was born with an aorta narrower than usual. This congenital heart defect is called coarctation of the bicuspid aortic valve. When Cadelago was a week old, doctors repaired the defect via open-heart surgery.The fix involved a patch. Doctors expected him to outgrow it, and he did. Two years later, he underwent another surgery.Cadelago's heart responded so well that as a child and a teen growing up in San Francisco, his doctor and parents said he could do any sport except heavy weightlifting. He enjoyed baseball and football, but his true...
As Kids' Obesity Rises, Brain Health Declines: Study
29 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Kids who are overweight or obese often struggle with school work, and now new research provides clues on how excess weight may harm the developing brain.“The main takeaway is to raise awareness about brain health consequences of obesity besides physical health consequences, especially since obesity rates are very high and continue to rise,†said study author Simone Kaltenhauser, a post-graduate research fellow in radiology and biomedical imaging at the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn. About one in every five American kids is now obese, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.For the study, researchers looked at several types of brain scans in more than 5,100 kids aged 9 to 10 who took part in the ongoing...
Long COVID Often Brings Another Issue: Stigma
29 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- People with long COVID deal with months or years of punishing fatigue, mind-numbing brain fog or a frightening fight to take each and every breath.But they can also face the skepticism of others, a new study finds -- employers and doctors questioning whether they're really sick, friends avoiding them, family losing patience.About 95% of people living with long COVID say they've experienced at least one type of stigma, and three out of four say they are stigmatized "often" or "always" by their condition, researchers report."Our findings suggest that long COVD is currently more stigmatized than many other long-term conditions, such as HIV and depression," said lead researcher Marija Pantelic, a lecturer in public health at Brighton and Sussex...
How Persistent Asthma Might Harm the Heart
29 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Persistent asthma may take a toll on the heart, not just the lungs, a new study suggests.When the respiratory condition is relentless, it appears tied to plaque in the carotid arteries, increasing the risk for heart attack and stroke, researchers say.The carotid arteries — large arteries on the sides of the neck — carry blood to the brain. In a study of more than 5,000 men and women, researchers found that people with persistent asthma had nearly double the odds of having plaque buildup in the carotid arteries, compared with those without asthma. Persistent asthma was defined as using daily controller medications to control asthma symptoms, such as wheezing or shortness of breath.The plaque may be a response to inflammation caused by...
High Deductibles Keep Some Women From Follow-Up After Troubling Mammogram
29 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Out-of-pocket costs may make as many as 1 in 5 women forgo additional screening when an initial mammogram finds an abnormality, a new U.S. study finds. The Affordable Care Act improved access to mammograms, but high-deductible insurance plans appear to keep women from important follow-ups, according to the findings."The ACA removed out-of-pocket costs for screening mammograms under most health plans to encourage women to partake in this important preventative health care measure," said study lead author Dr. Michael Ngo, a radiology resident at Boston Medical Center. "However, the screening mammogram is only the first step in detecting breast cancer," he explained. "If the radiologist detects an abnormal finding on the screening image, then...
