Amid a Surge in RSV Cases, Hopes for a New Vaccine
MONDAY, Nov. 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Infants and children sick with RSV are flooding pediatricians' offices and children’s hospitals across the United States, due to an early surge of the common childhood virus this year.But within one or two “sick seasons,†doctors expect to have on hand long-sought tools to help blunt the impact of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).As many as four new RSV vaccine candidates could soon be sent for review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, experts say, and dozens more are in testing or under development.“There are 30 or something [vaccine candidates] out there. I’ve lost count,†said Dr. Greg Poland, director of the Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine Research Group in Rochester, Minn.Additionally, a new monoclonal antibody developed by...
Is Surgery Always Necessary for Folks With Chronic Angina?
7 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Folks suffering chest pain from clogged arteries appear to have some true flexibility in choosing the medical care that's right for them, researchers report.That's because their overall risk of death is about the same whether they choose aggressive surgical treatment or a more conservative approach focused on medication and lifestyle changes, according to seven-year clinical trial results.These findings echo four-year results from the same trial, which is focused on people who have angina but no other serious heart-related complications, said lead researcher Dr. Judith Hochman, director of the Cardiovascular Clinical Research Center at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York City."We can say with a little greater confidence that at seven...
Paxlovid Lowers Risk of Long COVID
7 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The antiviral pill Paxlovid not only reduces hospitalization and death after catching COVID-19: New research shows it also cuts the chances of long COVID by roughly 25%.The drug, which combines a newer antiviral called nirmatrelvir with an older medication known as ritonavir, delivered that added bonus to patients, at least the mostly older white males who were part of a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs study. The research was published on the preprint server medRxiv, and has not yet been peer-reviewed.“Paxlovid reduces the risk of severe COVID-19 in the acute phase, and now we have evidence that it can help reduce the risk of long COVID,†study leader Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, chief of research and development at the VA St. Louis Health Care...
Can Adults Get RSV?
7 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As health experts warn about RSV infections in infants and toddlers, adults should know that they, too, can become severely ill from the virus.Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is not always the mild respiratory illness people think it is but can lead to symptoms as serious as seen with influenza, according to an expert from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.The risks are particularly high for adults over 65 and those who have chronic lung disease, heart disease or diabetes, said Dr. Robert Atmar, a professor of infectious diseases at Baylor."One of the reasons that persons with these diseases are at higher risk is because of the underlying disease -- the function of the heart, lungs and immune system are already compromised and less able to...
'SAD Season': Depression Risks Rise as Days Get Shorter
7 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As the daylight hours shrink, people's moods can wind up in the tank. Rest assured, you're not alone. It’s the SAD season for those affected by seasonal affective disorder. That's the depression, fatigue and withdrawal that shorter days and longer nights often bring.“The seasonal mood change can come in different shapes and forms,†said Dr. Dorothy Sit, associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, in Chicago. “It can be a clinical diagnosis of depression, which we call SAD, but some people experience a milder form," Sit said. "The clinical diagnosis means it is quite intense; it affects people all day for many weeks and can impact their functioning. In milder cases,...
Certain Melanoma Patients May Have Better Outcomes
7 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While melanoma remains the most deadly type of skin cancer, new research has found that a subset of patients with early disease are at very low risk of dying. These particular patients may not face the same prognosis that is typically associated with melanoma, and they may potentially represent cases contributing to over-diagnosis.The findings were published online Nov. 7 in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society."Given the very low risk of death from melanoma associated with some of the cases identified in this study, and if these findings can be verified and perhaps extended in other studies, the use of a different term such as 'Melanocytic neoplasm of low malignant potential' may be more appropriate than that of...
Cancer Survivors May Face Higher Risks for Bone Fractures
7 November 2022
MONDAY, Nov. 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Adult cancer survivors, particularly those who have undergone chemotherapy, have an increased risk for serious pelvic and vertebral fractures, new research shows."These findings are important as the number of cancer survivors living in the United States is projected to rise to 26.1 million by 2040. Research like this seeks ways for cancer survivors to have a better quality of life after their diagnosis," said study lead author Erika Rees-Punia. She is a behavioral and epidemiology researcher at the American Cancer Society."Fractures of the pelvis and vertebrae are more than just broken bones -- they are serious and costly," Rees-Punia added in a society news release. The researchers analyzed data from the Cancer Prevention Study-II Nutrition...
Vision Is Vulnerable With Age: Here's What to Look For
6 November 2022
SUNDAY, Nov. 6, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Routine eye checks can help ensure seniors know if they're developing any age-related vision issues.An expert from Baylor College of Medicine spells out what seniors need to know."Don't blame vision issues on just aging eyes. Get your eyes checked out because it can be a more serious issue that can be treated," said Dr. Sumitra Khandelwal, associate professor of ophthalmology at Baylor. "If you wait too long, there may not be ability to treat it."Among the issues is dry eye. As the skin gets drier with age, so do eyes. Artificial tears can help."If your skin is dry and you wait until it's very papery to put lotion on it, it won't help as much as if you put lotion on the skin daily to prevent dryness -- the same goes for your eyes. As you get...
