CVS, Walgreens Announce $10 Billion Opioid Settlements
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 2, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Years of litigation over the opioid epidemic could end soon, as the national pharmacy chains CVS and Walgreens announced Wednesday that each company has agreed to a nearly $5 billion settlement. While neither of the companies admitted wrongdoing, the settlements are part of the fight over the drug industry’s role in the epidemic that has led to 500,000 U.S. deaths in the past 20 years, the Associated Press reported. The pharmacies’ role was in filling prescriptions they should have flagged as inappropriate, according to lawsuits from various state governments.Most of the money will go toward programs that expand treatment for people with addiction, provide overdose antidotes and support prevention efforts. Exactly how much the pharmacies...
What's Better for Your Brain, Crossword Puzzles or...
2 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 2, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Older adults looking to slow down memory loss might find some help in a classic brain-teaser: the crossword puzzle.That's the suggestion of a small study that followed older adults with mild cognitive impairment — problems with memory and thinking that may progress to dementia over time. Researchers found that those randomly assigned to do crossword puzzles for 18 months showed a small improvement in tests of memory and other mental skills.That was in contrast to study participants who were assigned to a more modern brain exercise: computer games designed to engage various mental abilities. On average, their test scores declined slightly over time.Experts cautioned that the study was small and had other limitations. For one thing, it lacked...
Obesity Could Speed Disability When MS Strikes
2 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 2, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Obesity is never healthy, and that may be especially true for people who also develop multiple sclerosis.Obese people with MS are likely to see the disability linked to the disease rapidly worsen, said German researchers who followed more than 1,000 patients in a new study.Weight loss, they suggested, might help slow the progression of the disease. "The findings from this study raise important questions about the role of elevated BMI (body mass index) on mechanisms that drive neurologic disability in MS," said Dr. Fiona Costello, a professor of neurology at the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary in Canada.Obesity correlates with a higher risk of developing MS, she said. "What has not been clear is how obesity is linked to...
Top Medical Groups, Hospitals Urge Better Access to Lung...
2 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 2, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Screening tests routinely catch cases of breast and colon cancer early, but a screening test for lung cancer is sorely underused in high-risk people and that needs to change, more than 50 cancer organizations said in a joint statement issued Tuesday.What prompted the move? Low-dose CT screening is recommended for people who are more likely to develop lung cancer, yet only 5.7% of people who are eligible get screened, the groups noted in a call to action for more screening.“It definitely catches cancer early,†said statement co-author Mary Reid, chief of cancer screening and survivorship at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, N.Y. That's exactly what it did for New York resident Colleen Medvin.“I’m here because last...
AHA News: Chest Pain, Shortness of Breath Linked to Long-Term Risk of Heart Trouble
2 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 2, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Chest pain and shortness of breath may offer distinct warnings of future heart problems over 30 years' time, according to a new study.Chest pain accounts for more than 6.5 million visits to U.S. emergency rooms each year. Yet little research has looked at what it might signify over the years to come, said the study's lead researcher, Dr. Kentaro Ejiri, a postdoctoral fellow at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. Similarly, he said, few studies have examined long-term implications of shortness of breath, called dyspnea.Using three decades of data, Ejiri and his colleagues examined links between chest pain, shortness of breath and several cardiovascular problems. Chest pain and dyspnea were mainly...
Most Americans Admit to Driving While Drowsy: Poll
2 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 2, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Most people consider drowsy driving dangerous, but an estimated 37 million Americans still get behind the wheel at least once a year when they're so tired they can barely keep their eyes open.About six in 10 people admitted to drowsy driving in a new survey by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF).“Drowsy driving is impaired driving,†said Joseph Dzierzewski, the foundation's vice president of research and scientific affairs. “We see that while most Americans believe drowsy driving is risky, they still drive when not fully alert. The good news is — drowsy driving is preventable.â€In a survey conducted this fall, nearly 20% of respondents were overly confident in their ability to drive after sleeping two hours or less the previous...
Bad Sleep Might Raise Your Odds for Glaucoma
2 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 2, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Poor sleep may be linked to glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness, new research suggests. The study drew on a database of more than 400,000 people to explore links between sleep and vision loss.Glaucoma is marked by progressive loss of light-sensitive cells in the eye and optic nerve damage. Left untreated, it can cause irreversible blindness. As many as 112 million people worldwide could be affected by 2040.For the new study, the researchers considered a variety of sleep behaviors. These included too much sleep as well as too little, insomnia and daytime sleepiness, being a “night owl†or a “morning lark,†as well as snoring. The investigators used data from more than 409,000 participants in the UK Biobank (average age: 57). The...
Depression Treatment Starts Changing the Brain Within 6 Weeks
2 November 2022
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 2, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- New research reveals that the brain is much more flexible than once thought and can change rapidly during treatment for major depression.People receiving inpatient treatment for major depression had increased brain connectivity after just six weeks, German researchers report.They compared brain connectivity -- various brain regions acting together in generating thought, emotion and behavior -- in 109 patients with serious depression to that in a control group of 55 volunteers without depression. MRI scans were used to identify which brain areas were communicating with others before and after treatment."We found that treatment for depression changed the infrastructure of the brain, which goes against previous expectations. Treated patients...
