Doctor's Office Stress Test Could Gauge Your Heart Risk
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Evaluating a person's psychological stress can be a good way to gauge their risk of heart and blood vessel disease, new research suggests.And a brief questionnaire could help with the assessment, the study findings showed.“Our study is part of the accumulating evidence that psychological distress is a really important factor in a cardiovascular diagnosis, such as the other health behaviors and risk factors, like physical activity and cholesterol levels, that clinicians monitor,†said co-author Emily Gathright. She is an assistant professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School, in Providence, R.I.For the study, the team looked at research published within the past five years that included...
Kidney Disease Is Tougher on Men Than Women, and...
9 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Women tend to be better able than men to recover from kidney injury, but why?Apparently women have an advantage at the molecular level that protects them from a form of cell death that occurs in injured kidneys, a new study in mice has discovered.“Kidney disease afflicts more than 850 million people worldwide every year, so it’s important to understand why female kidneys are more protected from these acute and chronic injuries,†said study author Dr. Tomokazu Souma. He is an assistant professor in the department of medicine at Duke University School of Medicine, in Durham, N.C. “Our study is a step toward identifying the causes, and suggests that this female resilience could be therapeutically harnessed to improve kidney repair in...
Why Patients on Ventilators May Take Weeks to Regain...
8 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While it can take some time for COVID patients who are taken off ventilators to regain consciousness, a new study suggests this is not necessarily a bad omen.Instead, it might be the way the body protects the brain from oxygen deprivation as a patient starts to recover.Physicians should take these lengthy recovery times into account when determining a patient's prognosis, the researchers said."The delayed recoveries in COVID-19 patients are very much like the rare cases we've documented in previous research," said study co-senior author Dr. Nicholas Schiff, co-director of the Consortium for the Advanced Study of Brain Injury at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. "In this new paper, we describe a mechanism to explain what we're seeing in...
Half of Dentists Say Patients Are Coming to Appointments...
8 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- More and more nervous patients are showing up stoned for dental appointments, often forcing dentists to postpone treatment until the patient sobers up, new survey data shows.As more states are legalizing marijuana, more than half of dentists (52%) report seeing patients high on weed or other drugs, a new survey from the American Dental Association (ADA) found."In my practice, I’m seeing more patients who are openly disclosing marijuana use," said ADA spokeswoman Dr. Tricia Quartey.Many use marijuana to relax before an appointment, but being high can limit the care dentists can give and result in procedures being postponed, Quartey added. "When somebody is under the influence, oftentimes we need to give more anesthesia or we may have...
AHA News: More Physical Activity Before a Heart Attack May Reduce Risk for a Second One
8 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 8, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Being physically active in middle age – before having a heart attack – may reduce the risk of having a second heart attack, according to new research.Scientists have long known that regular physical activity helps prevent stroke, heart attacks and other forms of cardiovascular disease. But few studies have explored whether exercise protects against another serious cardiovascular event after an initial heart attack.Researchers looked at data from 1,115 adults in Mississippi, North Carolina, Maryland and Minnesota who had a heart attack sometime between the mid-1990s and the end of 2018. Their average age was 73 at the time of the heart attack.Then the researchers looked at how much study participants said they exercised at...
New Drug Could Ease Parkinson's-Related Constipation
8 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental drug may help people with Parkinson's disease find relief from constant constipation -- a common and troublesome feature of the disease.In a trial involving 150 people with Parkinson's and chronic constipation, researchers found that patients given the drug for a few weeks became much more regular: On average, they went from fewer than one bowel movement per week, to three per week.The drug, known for now as ENT-01, is not yet approved, and larger studies are planned.But experts said the short-term findings, published Nov. 8 in the Annals of Internal Medicine, are promising.Parkinson's disease affects nearly 1 million people in the United States alone, according to the Parkinson's Foundation.It involves an abnormal buildup of a...
Take the Mindful Way to Lower Blood Pressure
8 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Mindfulness is a centuries-old practice that's become trendy in recent years -- and a new study now says it can help your heart health.Training in mindfulness can help people better manage their high blood pressure by helping them stick to healthy lifestyle changes, a new clinical trial reports.An eight-week customized mindfulness program helped people lower their systolic blood pressure by nearly 6 points during a six-month follow-up period, researchers found.That was significantly better than the 1.4-point reduction that occurred in people undergoing usual blood pressure care, researchers said during a presentation Sunday at the American Heart Association's annual meeting, in Chicago. Such research is considered preliminary until published in...
Scientists Use 'Gentler' Cell Transplants to Reverse Diabetes in Mice
8 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists have used a transplant procedure to apparently cure diabetes in lab mice, without the need for immune-suppressing drugs afterward.The success is a first step in developing a safer way to use cell transplants to possibly cure type 1 diabetes. But that's a long way off, researchers said — and findings in mice often fail to translate to humans.In type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the pancreatic cells that make insulin — a hormone that moves sugars from food into body cells to be used for energy. Without insulin, those cells would starve. So people with type 1 diabetes have to take synthetic insulin every day to live.Even with that treatment, the disease makes it tough to maintain normal blood...
