Weight-Loss Surgery Slashes Odds for Heart Attack in Very Obese People
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Getting bariatric surgery may significantly help prevent heart attacks, strokes and angina in very obese people, a new study finds. The study participants were also affected by what's known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is often linked with obesity.While studying patients who had a body mass index (BMI) higher than 40 and NAFLD, researchers from Rutgers University-New Brunswick and Ohio State University found these patients were 50% more likely to suffer heart attacks, strokes and angina.But the new findings "provide evidence in support of bariatric surgery as an effective therapeutic tool to lower elevated risk of cardiovascular disease for select individuals with obesity and NAFLD," said study author Dr. Vinod Rustgi,...
American Medical Association Pushes for Permanent Use of...
15 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While the U.S. Senate voted this year to establish a permanent daylight saving time, the American Medical Association’s (AMA) House of Delegates is instead recommending a permanent change to standard time. Standard time is healthier and more natural, according to the AMA and other experts, including the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.“For far too long, we’ve changed our clocks in pursuit of daylight, while incurring public health and safety risks in the process. Committing to standard time has health benefits and allows us to end the biannual tug of war between our biological and alarm clocks,†AMA Trustee Dr. Alexander Ding said in an AMA news release.The AMA delegates were holding their interim meeting Monday in Honolulu.Twenty...
Many Insured Americans Are an Injury Away From...
15 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- One in 5 privately insured American adults hospitalized for a traumatic injury end up with medical bills they can't pay, a new study finds.Among more than 3,100 working-aged insured adults who suffered a traumatic injury, the risk of incurring co-pays and deductibles they couldn't afford was 23% higher than among similar adults without traumatic injuries. These patients were also more likely to be hounded by collection agencies, the study showed. "The amount of medical debt in America is $88 billion, and this is on top of what patients are already paying, so this is what they can't pay," said lead researcher Dr. John Scott. He is an assistant professor of surgery and a member of the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation at the...
Jay Leno Recovering After Serious Burn Injuries
15 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Comedian Jay Leno, former host of "The Tonight Show" and an avid car collector, suffered burn injuries when one of his cars burst into flames last weekend. Leno, 72, is recovering at the Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles, where he is in stable condition and being treated for "burns that he received to his face and hands from a gasoline accident in his garage over the weekend," hospital spokeswoman Aimee Bennett said in a statement, CNN reported."I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am OK. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet," Leno told Variety, according to CNN.Leno had been expected to perform at The Financial Brand Forum conference in Las Vegas on Sunday, an opening night event for attendees who purchased a gold...
Walmart Offers $3 Billion to Settle Opioid Lawsuits
15 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Another major pharmacy chain has offered billions to settle claims for its role in the opioid epidemic. While saying it would pay out $3.1 billion, Walmart noted in a statement that it "strongly disputes" allegations made by state, local and tribal governments in lawsuits that it had improperly filled painkiller prescriptions.Walmart joins pharmacy chains Walgreen Co. and CVS Health in offering to settle the cases. Those chains each agreed to pay about $5 billion. The $3.1 billion offer is about 2% of Walmart's quarterly revenue, the Associated Press reported. "Walmart believes the settlement framework is in the best interest of all parties and will provide significant aid to communities across the country in the fight against the opioid...
Smoking Weed Could Be Tougher on Your Lungs Than Cigarettes: Study
15 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While marijuana legalization in some U.S. states and Canada may send a message that weed is harmless, that's not necessarily so, according to a new study that found lung damage was more common in marijuana smokers than tobacco users.Research into marijuana's impact on the lungs is just getting started, because weed wasn't legal in many places until recently, but early indications are that it could do some serious damage."The main message is that it may not be as safe as people think it is, and we need more information," said study co-author Dr. Giselle Revah, a cardiothoracic radiologist and assistant professor at the University of Ottawa in Canada. "This is sort of just the opening. I want people to be aware that it may cause problems."Revah...
AHA News: A New Route to Keeping Women in Rural Communities Healthy
15 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 15, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- A community health program that included exercise classes and hands-on nutrition education helped women living in rural areas lower their blood pressure, lose weight and stay healthy, according to a new study.Compared to women in urban areas, women in rural communities have higher cardiovascular disease risk, are more likely to have obesity and tend to have less access to health care and healthy food, previous research has shown. While community health programs have shown promise, little research has looked at these programs in rural settings.The new study focused on sedentary women, age 40 or older, who were diagnosed as overweight or having obesity. They lived in 11 rural communities in upstate New York. All participants...
More U.S. Kids Are Heading to ERs After Drinking Cough Suppressant
15 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Increasing numbers of young children are showing up in emergency rooms after accidentally ingesting the cough suppressant benzonatate, U.S. health officials reported Tuesday.Benzonatate is a non-narcotic cough suppressant first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1958 for children ages 10 and up. It works by reducing the cough reflex in the lungs and airways."Benzonatate is an appealing cough and cold medication due to its non-narcotic properties," said Dr. Elise Perlman, an emergency department physician at Cohen Children's Medical Center in Queens, N.Y."For this reason, there has been a notable increase in benzonatate prescriptions; however, there has also been a concomitant rise in toxicity and adverse effects reported,"...
