Your Smartphone Is a Haven for Allergens
THURSDAY, Nov. 10, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- That smartphone in your hand could be triggering your allergies, a new study by an 18-year-old high school student suggests.A science fair project by Hana Ruran, of Hopkinton, Mass., found that cellphones are often loaded with cat and dog allergens, bacteria and fungi. “I have my phone always with me. It's always in my hand. I never put it down for anything,†said study author Hana Ruran, a senior at Hopkinton High School. “And I have a lot of allergies. I just got interested in doing something that affects me.â€The bottom line: It’s a good idea to wipe down the surface of your phone, especially if you have allergies. The research is being presented Thursday at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) annual...
U.S. Immigrants' Premiums, Taxes Exceed Health Care...
10 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 10, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- In a finding that challenges the notion that immigrants are freeloaders in the American health care system, a new study shows they are paying a lot more through health care premiums and related taxes than they actually use in care. In fact, the amount that immigrants pay in makes up for some of the amount of health care that non-immigrants use in excess of what they pay. “Some politicians and pundits tell Americans that immigrants are a burden to society, and particularly to our health care system,†senior study author Dr. Steffie Woolhandler, a distinguished professor at City University of New York’s (CUNY) Hunter College and lecturer at Harvard Medical School, said in a CUNY news release. “But the opposite is true. Immigrants...
Could 'Food Stamps' Program Give Memory a Boost?
10 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 10, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Signing up for "food stamps" might help lower-income seniors preserve their mental capabilities, a new U.S. study suggests.Researchers found that eligible older adults who used the government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — commonly called food stamps — had two fewer years of mental decline over a 10-year period than those who could have registered for the program but did not.“Less than half of the older adults who are eligible for SNAP actually participate,†said senior study author Adina Zeki Al Hazzouri, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, in New York City. “With the number of people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias expected to increase,...
Fatal Heart Infections Linked to Opioid Abuse Have...
9 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. opioid epidemic has been heartbreaking — literally.Young adults’ risk of dying from a devastating infection of the heart has doubled to tripled in the United States during the past two decades, a new study reports.Researchers ascribe the increase in fatal heart infections to the growing number of people between 15 and 44 who are injecting opioid drugs.“We found that people who inject drugs comprise a bigger percentage of the deaths from infective endocarditis, compared to 20 years ago,†said senior researcher Dr. Polydoros Kampaktsis, an assistant professor with Columbia University's division of cardiology, in New York City. “This is more notable among the younger population,†he added.Endocarditis occurs when the lining...
Targeting Key Cells in Spinal Cord Got Paralyzed Patients Walking Again
9 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- In an advance in treating spinal cord injuries, researchers have pinpointed nerve cells that are key to allowing people with paralysis to walk again.The findings come, in part, from nine patients involved in an ongoing Swiss study that is seeking to restore movement to people with paralysis.All nine rapidly regained the ability to stand and walk with the help of implants that electrically stimulate spinal nerves that control lower-body movement.Now the researchers are reporting that they've identified a specific group of cells in the lower spine that appear necessary for that movement recovery to happen.The hope, experts said, is that the discovery will help in refining the electrical stimulation therapy -- and, eventually, aid in developing...
FDA Warns of Animal Tranquilizer in Illicit Drugs
9 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday warned health care workers to look out for patients who may have been exposed to a potentially deadly animal sedative, possibly through illicit drug use.The veterinary medication xylazine is sometimes added to fentanyl, heroin or other drugs, after either being diverted from the legal animal supply or illicitly produced, the FDA said. "FDA is aware of increasing reports of serious side effects from individuals exposed to fentanyl, heroin, and other illicit drugs contaminated with xylazine," the agency announced in a news release.The non-opioid -- sometimes called tranq -- is approved for use in animals as a sedative and pain reliever. It is not safe for use in humans. Deaths tied to xylazine...
AHA News: Teens' Research Highlights Lasting Heart Health Effects of Redlining
9 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 9, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Science is about discovery. It's about answering questions and, often, raising new ones.For Elise and Demir Dilci – 16-year-old twins whose research was presented Sunday at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions in Chicago – it was certainly all that. The two high school sophomores from Houston's Awty International School set out to answer a single question and found they had so many more.Their work, done in partnership with Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine as part of a school internship project, investigated whether there was an association between living in historically redlined neighborhoods and risk of dying from heart disease. What the teens found not only surprised them, it has inspired...
Leg Artery Disease Can Lead to Amputation, But a Surgery May Help Prevent That
9 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Doctors know a lot about the best ways to treat heart attacks and strokes, but until now they really didn’t have this kind of information for peripheral artery disease (PAD).Affecting as many as 10 million people in the United States, PAD is marked by a plaque buildup in the arteries of the legs, causing pain and trouble walking. More than 10% of people with PAD develop chronic limb-threatening ischemia, which increases their risk for amputation and death.Chronic limb-threatening ischemia can be treated with surgery but which of two approaches was more effective and for whom has been unclear. Now, a new study finds a clear benefit with one type of surgery. If you have chronic limb-threatening ischemia plus a sufficient major (saphenous) leg...
