All That Vaping Might Damage Your Smile
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- On top of their other health hazards, electronic cigarettes may help rot your teeth, a new study suggests.Vaping appears to promote cavities, which can result in tooth loss if not treated quickly, experts say. "If you are vaping, be aware that there are potentially some detrimental oral health effects," said lead researcher Dr. Karina Irusa, an assistant professor of comprehensive care at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston. "If you do vape, make sure to mention this to your dentist because it may be important to make sure we customize your preventive routine to be a bit more aggressive than we would do for the average patient," she said.In the United States, 9.1 million adults and 2 million teenagers use tobacco-based...
A Gene Therapy for Hemophilia That Costs $3.5 Million...
23 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- People with one form of the genetic blood disorder hemophilia now have a one-time treatment with a $3.5 million price tag.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the new gene therapy Hemgenix on Nov. 22. Soon after, drugmaker CSL Behring revealed its cost. The company said its drug would ultimately reduce health care costs because patients with the genetic disorder would need fewer treatments for bleeding, the Associated Press reported. As with most approved drugs, private or government insurance -- not patients -- is expected to foot the bill.Hemgenix is designed for adults with hemophilia B, the less common form of the disease. Currently, patients receive costly IV infusions to promote clotting and prevent bleeding. The treatment is...
Diabetes Drug Metformin Might Keep Severe COVID Away
23 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A century-old diabetes drug seems to help keep high-risk COVID-19 patients from falling deathly ill, a new study reports.Metformin reduced the risk of death from COVID-19 by 44% in a group of diabetics who were taking the drug when they became infected with the coronavirus, according to the researchers. Diabetics taking metformin also were 50% less likely to require ventilation as they fought off their COVID-19 infection, the findings showed.These results line up with earlier studies and a clinical trial that have demonstrated the protective effects of metformin against COVID-19, said lead researcher Dr. Carolyn Bramante, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota Medical School, in Minneapolis.“All of this research...

23 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Millions of Americans will enjoy a hot, nutritious Thanksgiving meal thanks to their local food pantry, often staffed by volunteers. Now, new research spotlights just how important these charities are. Families who rely on pantries for food assistance come away with $600 to $1,000 in free meals and produce every year, after taking into account time, transportation and other costs associated with using them, researchers say. Nationwide, that adds up to big numbers, a new study shows, with pantries collectively providing Americans between $19 billion and $28 billion in free food every year.“The most recent Household Food Security in the United States report … estimates that 5.6% of U.S. households use food pantries, which are the main...

White House Urges COVID Booster Shots Again, Citing Effectiveness
23 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- It’s not too late to get the latest COVID-19 booster shot. Whether it’s the bivalent vaccine from drug maker Pfizer or from Moderna, the shots offer more protection against symptomatic infection, public health officials reiterated at a White House briefing on Tuesday. However, since the vaccines debuted in September, only 13% of American adults have gotten the updated boosters, which target both the original COVID-19 strain and the BA.5 version of the Omicron variant.“Please, for your own safety, for that of your family, get your updated COVID-19 shot as soon as you’re eligible,†Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said at the briefing.
