Single Dose of Psychedelic Curbs Depression, But Study Raises Concerns
THURSDAY, Nov. 3, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A single psychedelic trip with psilocybin -- the mind-altering component of magic mushrooms -- appears to lift the fog of major depression in some hard-to-treat patients, a new clinical trial reports.A 25-milligram dose of a synthetic psilocybin compound called COMP360 caused a "rapid and durable response" in more than a third of patients suffering from treatment-resistant depression, said Dr. Steve Levine, senior vice president of patient access for the London-based pharmaceutical company COMPASS Pathways. It focuses on psilocybin research and created the COMP360 synthetic compound and funded the clinical trial.The results occurred in a phase 2 trial aimed at finding the most effective dose of COMP360, according to a report published Nov. 3...
Half of Americans Over 50 Are Now Caregivers
3 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 3, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- More than half of Americans aged 50 and up are helping an older adult manage tasks ranging from household chores to care for medical conditions, a new national poll shows.Researchers said the findings highlight the critical role that everyday people are playing in the lives of older family members, friends and neighbors.The results come from the University of Michigan's National Poll on Healthy Aging, an ongoing series of surveys on older Americans' well-being.This go-around, researchers wanted to find out how many people in the 50-and-older demographic are acting not only as caregivers for an older adult, but as a "helper," too."Not everyone who helps an older person considers themselves a caregiver," said Courtney Polenick, an assistant...
'First Impression' Factors That Matter When Dating Turns...
3 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 3, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When it comes to love, first impressions matter. But what exactly fuels the flames of romance?It turns out that compatibility and popularity are two of the key factors shaping who people pursue as potential partners, a new speed-dating study suggests.“Although we expected that compatibility would be an important factor, we were amazed to find that compatibility was just as strong of a predictor of romantic pursuit as popularity was,†said study author Alexander Baxter, a PhD candidate in the psychology department at the University of California, Davis.For the study, researchers analyzed romantic first impressions among more than 550 speed-daters, including some men who date men, to rate their romantic interest in potential partners. There...
AHA News: Upping Your Step Count, Even in Small Amounts,...
3 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 3, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Adding 1,000 or even 500 steps to your daily routine could lead to a longer life, new research suggests.Experts have long endorsed walking as a free and easy way for people to get a wide variety of health benefits, including improved sleep, prevention of weight gain and reduced risks for serious conditions like heart disease, stroke and diabetes.While fitness apps often recommend taking 10,000 steps a day, experts say there's no magic number for improving health. Still, a group of European researchers wanted to get a clearer idea of how many steps might help people live longer.The research team analyzed 17 studies that gathered data on step counts, deaths from all causes and specifically from cardiovascular problems. The...
Autism Alters Brain in Major Ways, Study Finds
3 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 3, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Autism is a more comprehensive disorder than previously thought, and appears to arise from brain changes located throughout the cerebral cortex, not just in specific areas, a new study reports.Because of autism's specific symptoms, scientists had thought the disorder was likely caused by changes in brain regions believed to affect social behavior and language.But the new study -- led by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles -- found genetically driven brain-wide changes in virtually all of the 11 regions of the cerebral cortex that were analyzed. The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer of the brain, and plays a key role in all human cognition and behavior. (Cognition refers to the processes needed to learn something new,...
Another Reason to Keep Daylight Saving Time: Fewer Deer-Car Collisions
3 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 3, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Motorists are more likely to plow into a deer on U.S. highways after the annual "fall back" end of daylight saving time (DST), a new study shows.That’s because frisky deer in the middle of their mating season (also known as rut) are crossing roads that become shrouded in darkness earlier in the day with the time change, researchers explained.There's a 16% increase in deer-vehicle collisions in the week following the shift from DST to standard time, according to a report published Nov. 2 in the journal Current Biology.What's more, nearly 1 in 10 of all deer-vehicle wrecks occur during the two-week period around the switch from DST to standard time, researchers found.Adopting permanent daylight saving time could save dozens of deaths,...
How the Pandemic Affected Americans' Blood Pressure
3 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 3, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Although blood pressure levels among Americans rose during the COVID-19 pandemic, new research suggests things could have been far worse."We expected blood pressure control to be worse due to decreased physical activity, stress, poor sleep and other cardiovascular disease risk factors that worsened during the pandemic," said study leader Dr. Hiroshi Gotanda, an assistant professor in the Division of General Internal Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. "But the results were better than we expected, probably because of the use of telemedicine and home monitoring of blood pressure," he noted.For the study, which was funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, researchers looked at the electronic data records of more than...
Trial Shows Weight-Loss Drug Works in Teens
3 November 2022
THURSDAY, Nov. 3, 2022 (HealthDay News) – A weight-loss drug approved for adults may soon become an option for teens struggling with obesity. Young people who received the drug Wegovy (semaglutide) were able to lose an average of 14.7% of their starting body weight in a new clinical trial. More than 40% of the youths who received a weekly injection of the medication plus lifestyle counseling were able to reduce their BMI by 20% or more. The trial, published Nov. 2 in the New England Journal of Medicine, included 201 people ages 12 to 17 who were treated at medical centers in the U.S., Europe and Mexico. Some received a placebo and counseling on diet and exercise instead of Wegovy. Those youths actually gained 2.7% of their initial body weight. The study was funded by the drug's...
