Brain Imaging Shows How Young Kids Learn Quicker Than Grownups
THURSDAY, Nov. 17, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Ever wonder why kids seem to pick up new knowledge and skills faster than adults?A new study attributes the kids' mental prowess to differences in a brain messenger called GABA."Our results show that children of elementary school age can learn more items within a given period of time than adults, making learning more efficient in children," said Takeo Watanabe, a researcher and professor at Brown University.Children have a rapid boost of GABA, an amino acid, during visual training, according to study results reported Nov. 15 in the journal Current Biology. That GABA boost lasts after training ends. In adults, concentrations of GABA stayed constant."It is often assumed that children learn more efficiently than adults, although the scientific...
America's ERs Are Jammed, Affecting Patients on Other Wards
16 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A crowded, overwhelmed emergency department raises the risk of death and suffering for patients throughout a hospital, a new study warns.“The more the emergency room was crowded, the more people were dying throughout the hospital,†said lead researcher Charleen Hsuan, an assistant professor of health policy and administration at Pennsylvania State University.Patients also wound up staying longer in the hospital when the ER was crowded.A crowded emergency department is a sign of a hospital that’s running at its absolute limits, said Dr. Ryan Stanton, a board member of the American College of Emergency Physicians.Patients typically clog an emergency department because the hospital is out of beds and there’s nowhere else to put...
Suicide Rates Declining for White Americans, But Not for...
16 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- In a finding that illustrates just how deeply racial disparities permeate the U.S. health care system, a new government report finds that suicide rates dipped slightly among white Americans while they rose for Black and Hispanic Americans."Although the recent decline in suicide rates for non-Hispanic white persons is encouraging, the continued increase for non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic persons is concerning," said study author Sally Curtin, a researcher for the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics."Suicide has declined recently for white persons, in total, and for those involving the three leading methods -- firearms and suffocation, including hangings, and poisoning," she added. "Rates continued to increase for Black and Hispanic...
AHA News: Fatty Liver Disease May Increase Heart Failure...
16 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 16, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- An abnormal buildup of fat in the liver not caused by alcohol may greatly increase the risk of heart failure, according to new research.Nearly 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. has a condition known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD. Scientists already knew NAFLD can lead to permanent liver damage and increase the risk for atherosclerosis, when plaque builds up in the arteries.But there has been less research on NAFLD's relationship with heart failure, a term used when the heart isn't pumping as well as it should be. About 6 million U.S. adults have heart failure, which can't be cured but can be treated with lifestyle changes, medications and surgical procedures.Researchers looked at national health survey data from...
California's Plan to Make Low-Priced Insulin Could Be Example for Nation
16 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- California's plan to manufacture its own insulin could be a huge money-saver for state residents with diabetes -- and possibly be a model for other states, according to experts.Earlier this year, California announced an initiative to bring its own insulin products to market, in response to the steep costs of the lifesaving drug in the United States.And if it's successful, it will "disrupt" the current insulin market in critical ways that will benefit patients, according to a commentary published Nov. 15 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.For many Californians who use insulin, "the savings will be upwards of 90%," said lead author Dr. Mariana Socal of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore.People without health insurance...
Aerobic Exercise Reinvigorates the Aging Brain
16 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Regular aerobic exercise improves blood flow to the brain, which should help keep seniors sharper as they age, a new trial has revealed.At least a half-hour of power walking or jogging four to five times a week promoted better blood flow in and out of the brain among a small group of older adults, said study co-author Rong Zhang. He directs the cerebrovascular laboratory at the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine, a collaboration between UT Southwestern and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.“The intensity was like if you’re rushing to a meeting where you are 10 minutes late,†Zhang said. “You’re brisk walking, and you feel a shortness of breath.â€The brain requires about 20% of the body’s total blood flow...
Kids Born by C-Section May Have Weaker Response to Vaccines
16 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Babies born via cesarean section may not mount as strong an immune response after some childhood vaccines compared to babies delivered vaginally, researchers suggest.Antibody levels can be checked in blood or saliva, and babies born vaginally had higher levels of antibodies in their saliva to pneumonia shots at one year and meningococcal shots at 18 months, a new study showed.But the study authors are quick to caution that their findings are not a reason to skip recommended childhood vaccinations."Vaccines are one of the best ways that you can protect your child against disease," said study author Debby Bogaert, a clinical fellow and honorary consultant in pediatric infectious diseases at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. "Although we...
FDA Moves Toward Making Overdose Antidote an Over-the-Counter Drug
16 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration appears poised to approve certain naloxone products for over-the-counter use, a move that would help fight the nation’s opioid epidemic.Naloxone (Narcan, Evzio) can save lives when administered soon after the first signs of an overdose from opioids such as heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone or morphine. On Tuesday, the FDA issued a Federal Register notice that could lead to some prescription naloxone products getting approved for over-the-counter sales. The notice could also encourage development of new nonprescription naloxone products."Today's action supports our efforts to combat the opioid overdose crisis by helping expand access to naloxone," said FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf in an agency news...
