What Surgery Works Best for Arthritic Ankles?
TUESDAY, Nov. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Patients with advanced ankle osteoarthritis have two surgical options to restore their quality of life, and the good news is a new study shows both have good outcomes.Deciding which one is better depends on the patient.“Our aim in this trial was to provide the data that patients need to make informed decisions about these operations,†said study author Andrew Goldberg, a consultant orthopedic surgeon for University College London (UCL). “We’ve clearly shown that both joint replacement and fusion provide significant patient benefits. We also found that the type of joint replacement seems to have an effect, but this needs further research,†he added in a university news release.The study compared total ankle joint replacement with...
LGBTQ Youth Have Double the Risk for Suicidal Thoughts,...
15 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A new study that looks at suicide risk among U.S. teens who are lesbian, gay and bisexual finds they have disproportionately high rates of suicidal thoughts, planning and attempts compared to their heterosexual peers.“The major message of this paper is that among a group of survivors of these types of violence, those who identify as a sexual minority are more likely to develop suicidal thoughts and behaviors,†said Émilie Ellis, lead author of the study and a postdoctoral researcher in the College of Public Health at the University of Georgia.“We know that LGBTQ+ people are much more likely to experience suicidal thoughts and behaviors, but they're also a lot more likely to have experienced trauma more frequently and to develop...
Illinois Study Shows Big Jump in Suicide-Linked ER...
14 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Illinois has seen a recent surge in the number of kids arriving in the emergency room for suicidal thoughts -- both during and shortly before the pandemic, according to a new study.Among kids ages 5 to 19, ER visits for suicidal thoughts rose by 59% across the state between 2016 and 2021, researchers found. That included a sharp spike in the fall of 2019, followed by another in the fall of 2020.Experts said that while the findings come from one state, they reflect what's been going on nationally. They also highlight a sobering fact: U.S. children and teenagers have been showing a deterioration in their mental health for years."It's absolutely not the case that this started with the pandemic," said senior researcher Joseph Feinglass, of...
Dangerous Myths Keep Many Adults With Food Allergies...
14 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The EpiPen is a known lifesaver when someone with a serious food allergy eats something they can't tolerate.Yet the auto-injection treatment is greatly underused in the United States, according to a new survey. Just over half of at-risk adults said they had ever been prescribed the device, researchers found. And more than one-third of severe allergy sufferers mistakenly believe the EpiPen itself is a serious threat to their health.“The results were eye-opening,†said study co-author Erin Malawer, executive director of AllergyStrong based in McLean, Va.Food allergy affects more than 32 million Americans. EpiPens contain epinephrine, the only medication able to stop life-threatening anaphylaxis, which can occur from a severe allergic...
AHA News: Study of Heart Disease Trends Reflects Diversity Among Asian Americans
14 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 14, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Cardiovascular disease rates differ among Asian American subgroups but are rising faster for most of them than for white adults, new research from Northern California suggests.Only people of Japanese American and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander descent are not experiencing a faster rise in heart disease rates, according to findings presented this month at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions in Chicago. The research is considered preliminary until full results are published in a peer-reviewed journal.The findings underscore a need to collect and analyze data for individual groups of Asian Americans, said lead study author Dr. Kaylin Thuy Nguyen, a clinical fellow at the division of cardiovascular medicine at...
More Teens Are Getting Weight Loss Surgery, If Families Can Afford It
14 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A growing number of U.S. teenagers are undergoing weight-loss surgery, but the figures suggest many still lack access to the procedures -- especially underinsured Black and Hispanic kids.That's the conclusion of a new study charting trends in bariatric (weight-loss) surgery among U.S. teens. Researchers found that between 2010 and 2017, the annual rate of the procedures doubled among kids younger than 19.But Black and Hispanic teens, who have a higher prevalence of obesity than their white peers, accounted for a disproportionately low percentage of the procedures.That points to a disparity in access, said senior researcher Dr. Baddr Shakhsheer, a pediatric surgeon at St. Louis Children's Hospital-Washington University in St. Louis.Surgery is...
Does Your Child Have a Cold or Severe RSV? Signs to Look For
14 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As most American parents already know, cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a common illness of childhood, are surging this year. Hospitals are filling up with babies and toddlers very ill with the easy-to-catch illness, which is coming back with a vengeance after lying low during the pandemic.But RSV can be deceptive: It starts out looking like any other childhood cold, and for most kids who get it, RSV remains mild.But severe cases do occur. Doctors aren’t even sure why one child has a mild case, while another requires hospital care. Each year, up to 80,000 U.S. children are hospitalized due to severe RSV, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.What's different this year?Dr. Jessica Ericson is a pediatric...
Damage to Health Mounts With Each New COVID Infection
14 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Every time a person gets infected with COVID-19, their risk of dying or suffering serious long-term health problems increases dramatically, a new study has found.People with repeated COVID-19 infections are twice as likely to die and three times as likely to be hospitalized compared to those only infected once, according to the report published online Nov. 10 in the journal Nature Medicine.Repeat COVID-19 patients are also three times more likely to develop lung and heart problems, and 60% more likely to develop a brain condition, the researchers found.“Without ambiguity, our research showed that getting an infection a second, third or fourth time contributes to additional health risks in the acute phase, meaning the first 30 days after...
