Food Allergies & Thanksgiving Dinner Can Mix, Just Follow These Tips
SUNDAY, Nov. 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When loved ones come together for your Thanksgiving feast, keep in mind your those who have food allergies. Practice safety in menu planning, food preparation and even serving, urged Courtney Cary, a senior dietitian at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Be aware of the eight most common allergens: peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, soy, wheat, fish and shellfish."If someone who is attending the holiday meal has an allergy to any food, it is important to fully disclose the ingredients of what you prepared so they can avoid a potentially life-threatening reaction," she said in a college news release.Find out specifically what your guest is allergic to, Cary said. Then, to prepare their food, use separate, sterilized utensils on surfaces...
Don't Know the Signs of Pancreatic Cancer? You're Not Alone
19 November 2022
SATURDAY, Nov. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While pancreatic cancer is particularly deadly because there is no early detection test and only limited treatments, there are symptoms that can signal the disease, a leading pancreatic cancer nonprofit says.Unfortunately, most Americans do not know what those signs are.In a recent survey, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) found most adults are unaware of the signs that could help them detect the disease earlier, so the organization is offering a guide to help people become more aware of the symptoms.The most common symptoms of pancreatic cancer are abdominal or back pain, weight loss or loss of appetite and digestive problems. Other common symptoms include yellowing of the skin and eyes, known as jaundice; an oily or watery...
Mind-Controlled Wheelchair Brings New Freedom to People...
18 November 2022
FRIDAY, Nov. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A severely paralyzed person no longer needs to go through brain surgery to try and steer a motorized wheelchair with their mind, researchers report.Through an electrode-studded cap placed on their head, several people with quadriplegia -- no function in all four limbs -- were able to produce brain waves that guided their wheelchair through a kind of hospital "obstacle course."The cap captures a person's brain signals, which are translated into the wheelchair's movements through a computer program, explained senior researcher José del R. Millán, a professor of neurology and chair of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.The patient simply thinks about moving the body parts they no longer control -- an arm or...
AHA News: As Hearts Race Over the World Cup, Playing...
18 November 2022
FRIDAY, Nov. 18, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Soccer is filled with cardiovascular activities that can benefit the brain as well as the heart.From fullbacks sprinting back to prevent a counterattack to midfielders jogging up the other end to build up play, players on the pitch are rarely standing still. The quadrennial World Cup, being played in Qatar from Nov. 20 to Dec. 18, will shine a spotlight on what's known as the "beautiful game," exposing the sport to perhaps a new generation of young fans and potential players."With soccer comprised of highly aerobic forms of activity and exercise, the benefits that you get go across the board," said Dr. Ilan Danan, a neurologist at Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles.Positive outcomes of regular physical activity...
FDA Approves First Drug to Delay Onset of Type 1 Diabetes
18 November 2022
FRIDAY, Nov. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved the first drug that could delay the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D).Teplizumab (Tzield) targets the autoimmune issues that drive the disease, rather than its symptoms, making the medication a game changer.“Today’s approval of a first-in-class therapy adds an important new treatment option for certain at-risk patients,†Dr. John Sharretts, director of the division of diabetes, lipid disorders, and obesity in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a news release. “The drug’s potential to delay clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes may provide patients with months to years without the burdens of disease.â€Advocates applauded the approval.“A delay in...
Despite Pleas From Pediatric Groups, Biden Balks at Declaring RSV a Health Emergency
18 November 2022
FRIDAY, Nov. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The Biden administration on Thursday offered assistance to communities and hospitals dealing with a surge in cases of pediatric respiratory illnesses, but it did not declare a national public health emergency. The Children’s Hospital Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics had asked President Joe Biden and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra for that designation in a letter that noted an “alarming surge of pediatric hospitalizations."Seasonal flu and an early spike in cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) among babies and toddlers are to blame: About 78% of pediatric hospital beds are full throughout the United States.Seven states have reached more than 90% of capacity in hospital beds for children, NBC News...
Study Confirms It: Kids Keep Harried Moms From Exercise
18 November 2022
FRIDAY, Nov. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Something — or rather, someone — may be standing between moms and a regular exercise routine: their children. New research from the universities of Cambridge and Southampton in the United Kingdom suggests that fewer than half of mothers met recommended activity levels, a number that was even lower when the children were younger or there was more than one. “It is perhaps not unexpected that mothers who have young children or several children engage in less intense physical activity, but this is the first study that has quantified the significance of this reduction,†said study author Keith Godfrey. He is a professor of epidemiology and human development at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Lifecourse Epidemiology Centre at Southampton....
Unlocked & Loaded: Most Guns Used in Suicides Are Easily Accessed
18 November 2022
FRIDAY, Nov. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Guns cause more than half of all suicides in the United States each year, and new research finds most of these are handguns owned by the deceased that were stored unlocked and loaded.Researchers used data from the National Violent Death Reporting System to examine the deaths of more than 117,000 people who killed themselves with guns between 2003 and 2018."These results highlight that more often than not, unsecured handguns are the driving force in firearm suicide in America," said senior author Michael Anestis, executive director of the New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center at Rutgers University. "That said, some groups -- like men and individuals who identify as American Indian/Alaskan native -- are more likely than their peers to use long...
