Keeping T-Day Kitchens Safe for the Whole Family
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The whole family — even the youngest members — can take part in Thanksgiving’s hours of food preparation by following some safety tips.The nation’s leading pediatrics organization offers some holiday advice for families with young children.“There’s a lot of excitement and joy surrounding meal preparation at this time of year, but it also can be stressful,†said Dr. Dina DiMaggio, a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. “Consider how to involve kids in the process and think about assigning an adult to keep track of the youngest when the kitchen is at full capacity. By planning in advance, families can help ensure the day goes smoothly for all,†she said in an academy news release.Here are some helpful tips:Start by...
Could NSAIDs Like Ibuprofen, Aleve Make Arthritic Knees...
22 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Over-the-counter pain relievers like aspirin, Aleve or ibuprofen don’t do a thing to slow the progression of knee arthritis, and might even make things worse, a new study suggests.Knee arthritis patients who regularly took nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) wound up with worse knee inflammation and weakened cartilage, compared to a "control" group not taking the medications, researchers report.“We found that the participants who were taking NSAIDs regularly for four years showed worse results with regard to synovitis,†which is inflammation within the knee, said lead researcher Dr. Johanna Luitjens, a postdoctoral scholar with the University of California, San Francisco’s department of radiology and biomedical...
Implant Delivers Chemo Directly to Brain in Patients...
22 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers have found a way to safely deliver a steady supply of chemotherapy directly to brain tumors -- in what they hope will be an important advance for patients with currently incurable cancers.The treatment involves an implantable pump system that supplies a steady drip of chemo straight to the brain tumor. Researchers have tested it in five patients who had recurrent glioblastoma, a particularly deadly form of brain tumor.They found the system was able to hit patients' tumors with chemotherapy doses that were 1,000-times higher than is possible with traditional chemo. And there were no significant side effects.The big unanswered question, experts said, is whether the approach can ultimately extend people's lives.Glioblastoma is an...
CT Screenings Can Dramatically Improve Lung Cancer Outcomes
22 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Annual lung cancer screening for heavy smokers can provide a big boost in lung cancer survival over the long term, a new study shows.When low-dose CT screening identifies early-stage lung cancer, patients have an 80% chance of surviving 20 years, researchers found. And for some, the odds are as high as 100%.But only 16% of lung cancers are caught early, and more than half of people with lung cancer die within a year of being diagnosed, according to the American Lung Association. The average five-year survival rate is less than 19%.This study shows "how powerful screening is," said Dr. Andrea McKee, a volunteer spokeswoman for the lung association and chair of radiation oncology at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center in Burlington, Mass. She was...
AHA News: Green Beans Can Be One of the Healthiest Dishes at the Holiday Table
22 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 22, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Whether served in a casserole, almondine or roasted with garlic, green beans are sure to make an appearance on many a table this holiday season.And unlike many of the tempting treats that make up holiday meals, the green bean is one item that's not usually served with a side of guilt. In fact, it may be the Mighty Mouse of the holiday meal – here to save the day from a beckoning bounty of otherwise fat-laden, calorie-rich foods."If not prepared with higher-calorie ingredients, you can eat a large volume of them and feel fuller without overconsuming," said Maya Vadiveloo, an associate professor in the department of nutrition and food services at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston.There's little the mighty green bean...
Protecting Wildlife Key to Preventing the Next Big Pandemic
22 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Research in wild bats is reinforcing a notion crucial to stopping future pandemics: When wildlife populations stay healthy, the odds of "crossover" viruses infecting humans subsides.In Australia, deforestation has caused a deadly respiratory virus to pass from fruit bats to humans, by forcing the two species into closer contact, a new study reports.Robbed of their winter habitats, large “flying fox†bat populations started breaking up over the past quarter-century and roosting in smaller groups closer to human agricultural and urban areas in subtropical Australia, the study authors explained.These bats are the natural reservoir of Hendra virus, which jumped from the bats into horses and then from horses to humans, according to the report...
Even a Little Drinking in Pregnancy Can Reshape Fetal Brain
22 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Exposure to even low levels of alcohol while in the womb can change the structure of the fetus’ brain, according to Austrian researchers.The study results suggest that pregnant women should strictly avoid alcohol, one author said.“Unfortunately, many pregnant women are unaware of the influence of alcohol on the fetus during pregnancy,†said lead author Dr. Patric Kienast. He's a PhD student in the biomedical imaging and image-guided therapy department, division of neuroradiology and musculoskeletal radiology at the Medical University of Vienna, in Austria. Kienast spoke in a news release from the Radiological Society of North America.In the study, his team used MRI scans to assess the impact of drinking on 24 fetuses. The MRIs were...
Science Reveals Links Between Down Syndrome & Alzheimer's
22 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The genetic abnormality that drives Down syndrome causes the same sort of abnormal brain plaques and protein tangles that are found in Alzheimer's disease patients, a new study reports.Amyloid beta plaques and tau tangles have long been associated with Alzheimer's disease, and they're also evident in most people with Down syndrome by age 40, researchers note.These plaques and tangles are caused by prions -- normal proteins that become misshapen and start spreading through the brain like an infection. Prions appear to develop as a result of excess amyloid beta in the brains of people with both conditions, researchers said.Analysis of brain tissue samples from 28 deceased people with Down syndrome revealed measurable amounts of both amyloid...
