As Segregation Rises in Communities, So Do Cancer Death Rates
FRIDAY, Nov. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Whether you survive a bout with cancer may depend, in part, on where you live.Researchers at the American Cancer Society and Clemson University in South Carolina found a 20% higher death rate for all cancer types in the communities with the most racial and economic segregation. For lung cancer, the death rate was 50% higher in the most segregated counties."Many people living in low-income minority households have less access to employment opportunities, transportation, education and health care, and are more likely to experience worse health outcomes," said senior study author Xuesong Han, scientific director of health services research at the American Cancer Society."These findings show it is imperative we continue to look for ways to increase...
Seizure Risk Rises in Months After COVID
17 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 17, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A bout of COVID-19, even a milder one, may raise the risk of having a seizure in the next six months, a large new study suggests.Researchers found that of over 300,000 Americans who had suffered a case of COVID-19 or the flu, COVID sufferers were 55% more likely to be diagnosed with a seizure or epilepsy in the next six months.And a deeper look showed that the increased risk was among people who were not hospitalized: Of those who dealt with COVID at home, just over 0.7% were later diagnosed with a first-time seizure or epilepsy. That compared with just under 0.5% of people who were sick at home with the flu.The link between COVID-19 and seizures was also stronger among children than adults.The absolute risks are small, stressed senior...
Is Mind-Altering Ayahuasca Safe? No, But Folks Who Try...
17 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 17, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Ayahuasca, a powerful psychoactive drug derived from a South American plant, is a traditional Amazonian-based medicine and an increasingly popular hallucinogenic brew used by devotees worldwide.But what is the ayahuasca experience really like? An international survey of thousands of men and women who have tried the drug for religious, therapeutic or recreational purposes provides some clues. On the downside, the vast majority said the drug induced some significant side effects, ranging from nausea and vomiting to the onset of nightmares, disturbing thoughts and a feeling of disconnection.On the upside, however, only a very small minority said they needed medical care to handle their physical discomfort. And among those reporting psychological...
AHA News: Some Reduced-Carb Diets May Decrease Diabetes...
17 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 17, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- When it comes to reduced-carb diets, it may be quality, not quantity, that matters most.New research finds that animal-based, low-carbohydrate eating was associated with a higher Type 2 diabetes risk, whereas plant-based, low-carb eating was associated with a lower diabetes risk. The research, recently presented in Chicago at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions conference, is considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal."To prevent the risk of Type 2 diabetes for generally healthy people without prediabetes or diabetes, the quantity of carbs might not matter as much as the quality of the protein, fats and carbs," said lead study author Yeli Wang, a research fellow in the department of...
AHA News: 'I Need to Walk Again': Stroke Survivor Keeps Promise to Her Husband, Who Died On 9/11
17 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 17, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- From her hospital bed, Beth Murphy demanded that a television be brought into her room. She needed to see the face of her husband.Kevin Murphy died on 9/11 as he worked at the World Trade Center in New York City. Of the 2,977 killed that day in separate terror attacks, Kevin and 2,752 others died at the twin towers. He was 40 years old.On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Beth couldn't attend a memorial event with her children, Connor and Caitlyn, who were 7 and 4 when their dad died.Instead, Beth was processing the news her doctors delivered the day before: She might never again use the left side of her body.When her husband's image appeared on screen, Beth spoke to him through tears. "Kevin, I need to live for these kids," she...
Dangerous Parasite That Can Infect People Now Found in U.S. Foxes
17 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 17, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A rare parasitic disease that has long been documented in Europe seems to have taken root in the United States.Researchers in Vermont are reporting on two human cases of the disease, called alveolar echinococcosis (AE), which were caused by a European strain of the parasite E. multilocularis. They also found evidence of the strain in two red foxes in Virginia.Until now, human cases of the disease in the United States had only been reported -- many years ago -- in Alaska and Minnesota. And those had been caused by North American strains of the E. multilocularis parasite, which are considered less virulent than European strains.So the two Vermont patients represent the first cases of AE in the Eastern United States, and the first caused by a...
When a Parent Is Jailed, Children's Health Care Suffers
17 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 17, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Children's health is jeopardized when they have a parent in prison, new research finds. In the United States, 5 million kids have an incarcerated parent. Those children have worse access to primary, dental and mental health care than their peers, the investigators found. And that puts the kids at risk of worse mental and physical health outcomes, according to the study. “Exposure to parental incarceration is a key adverse childhood experience with physical and mental health impacts across the course of the lives of these kids,†said Dr. Nia Heard-Garris from Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. “They are exposed to nearly five times as many adverse childhood experiences as their peers, and we know that is also unfortunately...
A Vaccine Against Deadly Fentanyl Might Be Near
17 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 17, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers report they have created a vaccine to fight fentanyl addiction, in a potential breakthrough in the opioid epidemic.The shot would block the ability of fentanyl to enter the brain and cause the “high†that users crave. It could be used to prevent relapses in people trying to quit opioids, once it gets through clinical trials, the scientists said.“We believe these findings could have a significant impact on a very serious problem plaguing society for years — opioid misuse,†said study author Colin Haile, a research associate professor of psychology at the University of Houston and the Texas Institute for Measurement, Evaluation and Statistics. "Our vaccine is able to generate anti-fentanyl antibodies that bind to the...
