Caregiving Can Heighten Loneliness, or Ease It
MONDAY, Nov. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Taking care of a loved one can either be a break from loneliness or help to bring loneliness on, depending on your circumstances, new research shows.Researchers broadly studied the issue, using data from 28 studies with more than 190,000 participants in 21 countries. They found certain types of caregiving — such as volunteering and caring for grandchildren — offered protection against loneliness in people over age 50.However, for those caring for a spouse with complex health conditions, particularly dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, caregiving was often a big risk factor for loneliness.“Loneliness can leave people feeling isolated and disconnected from others — and can have a wide range of negative effects on their physical and mental...
COVID in Pregnancy Can Vary — Get Vaccinated to Stay Safe
28 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When pregnant women contract COVID-19, one in 10 will have moderate, severe or even critical symptoms, a new study finds.So it’s important they get their COVID vaccines, experts say.“Given that patients in all trimesters of pregnancy are susceptible to infection and severe respiratory illness from COVID-19, these findings add urgency to the need for vaccination of all pregnant individuals,†said study co-author Dr. Rachel Schell. She's an assistant instructor in obstetrics and gynecology at UT Southwestern in Dallas. An estimated 182,000 pregnant women have been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the United States during the pandemic to this point. Past research has shown they have an increased risk of severe and critical disease compared to...
Allergies & Asthma: Keep Sneezes & Wheezes at Bay This...
26 November 2022
SATURDAY, Nov. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) – It’s possible to have a joy-filled holiday season while keeping allergies and asthma in check.Being aware of triggers is a key, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).“While the holidays bring much joy, some of the good times can be derailed by allergy and asthma flares,†said allergist Dr. Kathleen May, president of ACAAI. “A few well-placed precautions can keep you healthy and get your new year off to a great start as well.â€Here are some tips to keep sneezing and wheezing at bay.Food allergens: When you're invited to eat at someone else’s house, tell your host about foods your family needs to avoid. Ask the host to mark containers so it’s clear what is in them. When there’s a potluck,...
Exercise Might Ease Side Effects of Breast Cancer Treatment
25 November 2022
FRIDAY, Nov. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- An exercise program, even if it's not as intense as national guidelines suggest, could help breast cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy reduce fatigue and have a better quality of life, new research suggests.Researchers from Edith Cowan University in Australia included 89 women in this study -- 43 participated in the exercise portion; the control group did not.Exercisers did a 12-week home-based program. It included weekly resistance training sessions and 30 to 40 minutes of aerobic exercise.Researchers found that patients who exercised recovered from cancer-related fatigue more quickly during and after radiation therapy compared to the control group. Exercisers also saw a significant increase in health-related quality of life, which...
About 1 in 35 U.S. Pregnancies Exposed to Opioids
25 November 2022
FRIDAY, Nov. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) – Researchers have found that nearly 3% of pregnancies in the United States were exposed to addictive opioid drugs.The finding stems from an analysis of data from 21,905 pregnant women in what's dubbed the ECHO program (Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes), a federally funded effort to investigate the effects of early life exposures on several key areas of child health.The new study found opioid use in pregnancy was more prevalent in white individuals. It was also more common in women with a history of depression and multiple substance use.Most of the prenatal opioid use was connected to a prescription drug."Previous studies have not adequately described people in the U.S. who use opioids during pregnancy, a fact that has limited...
As COVID Restrictions Lifted, Asthma Attacks Rose
25 November 2022
FRIDAY, Nov. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When COVID-19 restrictions lifted in the United Kingdom, the risk for severe asthma attacks doubled.While having COVID isn't more likely to cause asthma attacks than other respiratory infections, it may have been that safety measures, such as wearing masks and reduced socializing, kept these attacks at bay, the authors of a new study suggested. "Our study was observational, so it can't prove cause-and-effect. But our findings do raise the possibility that certain elements of the public health measures introduced during the pandemic -- such as wearing face masks -- could help in reducing respiratory illnesses moving forward," study lead author Adrian Martineau said in a news release from Queen Mary University of London. He is a clinical...
Transgender Youth Much More Likely to Have Troubled Sleep
24 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Transgender youth are more likely than others to experience sleep disorders such as insomnia and sleep apnea, and researchers now recommend these young people be screened for sleep problems.“Transgender and gender-nonconforming identity may precede mental health disorders, and both influence insomnia diagnosis,†said study co-author Galit Levi Dunietz, an epidemiologist in the University of Michigan neurology department's division of sleep medicine.For the study, the researchers analyzed claims data from more than 1.2 million people aged 12 to 25. Among them were just over 2,600 young people who identified as transgender or gender-nonconforming. The investigators found that transgender youth were 5.4 times more likely than cisgender...

The findings were published Nov. 21 in BMJ Open."Acupuncture significantly improved pain, functional status, and quality of life in women with [lower back/pelvic pain] during the pregnancy," wrote the researchers, who included Dr. Wei Dong, from the Department of Orthopaedics at the Kunming Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. "Additionally, acupuncture had no observable severe adverse influences on the newborns," they said in a journal news release.The 10 trials were...
