New Malaria Antibody Drug Prevents Infection in Adults for 6 Months
TUESDAY, Nov. 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A new malaria antibody treatment may keep more people free of the sometimes deadly disease for up to six months in regions where infection rates are high. Instead of requiring the immune system to make enough antibodies, this experimental drug provides those who receive it with a large amount of lab-made antibodies. It requires an infusion via IV, but a shot version of the drug is in early testing now in infants, children and adults.A new malaria vaccine for children being administered by the World Health Organization is only about 30% effective and it requires four doses, the Associated Press reported."The available vaccine doesn't protect enough people," study author Dr. Kassoum Kayentao, of the University of Sciences, Techniques and...
Combo Drug May Fight Tough-to-Treat UTIs
1 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Doctors could soon have access to a new weapon in the ongoing battle against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.An experimental combination antibiotic appears to offer a new option for doctors treating stubborn drug-resistant urinary tract infections (UTIs), according to new clinical trial results.The new combo of cefepime and enmetazobactam outperformed an established antibiotic drug regimen in treating complicated UTIs, according to a recent report in the Journal of the American Medical Association.Nearly eight in 10 patients had their infection completely cleared by cefepime/enmetazobactam, compared with about six in 10 patients treated with the existing combo of piperacillin and tazobactam.Based on these results, French drug maker Allecra...
Hormonal Therapy Won't Prevent Chronic Ills After...
1 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Experts are once again advising doctors and women against using menopausal hormone therapy to ward off chronic diseases -- 20 years after a landmark trial dashed those hopes.In updated recommendations, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is reiterating its past advice on menopausal hormone therapy: It should not be prescribed as a way to reduce the risks of heart disease, stroke or any other chronic health condition.That's based on years of evidence that while hormone therapy might lower certain disease risks, it has no effect on others -- and, most concerning, raises the risks of ills such as breast cancer, stroke and dementia."We concluded there is no net benefit. The benefits and risks cancel each other out," said Dr. James...
Alcohol to Blame for 1 in 5 Young Adult Deaths in U.S.
1 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- For anyone who thinks alcoholism isn't a deadly disease, a new government report shows alcohol abuse caused nearly 13% of deaths in American adults under 65 between 2015 and 2019.The statistics were even more grim among younger U.S. adults: In people aged 20 to 49, alcohol abuse was the cause of 20% of deaths. "States and communities can prevent these premature deaths using evidence-based strategies to reduce the availability and accessibility of alcohol and increase its price, including increasing alcohol taxes and regulating the number and concentration of places that sell alcohol," said lead researcher Marissa Esser. She is lead of the Alcohol Program at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in Atlanta. According to the new...
AHA News: Heart Inflammation Risk Remains Rare After Third COVID-19 Vaccine Dose
1 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 1, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- A third dose of the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine poses no more risk of heart inflammation than a second dose, a large study suggests. The findings could help allay concerns about risk going up with each additional dose.Cases were rare. Most appeared within seven days of vaccination and the patients recovered, found the study, which is being presented Saturday at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions. The work is considered preliminary until full results are published in a peer-reviewed journal.Researchers examined the health records of millions of Southern Californians to see whether third doses of the vaccines, which use mRNA technology to activate the body's defenses against the coronavirus, were linked...
Impact of Racism Could Slow Recovery After Heart Attack
1 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Discrimination doesn’t just cause emotional pain in the moment, it may affect a victim's physical recovery from a heart attack, new research suggests.In studying more than 2,600 heart attack survivors between the ages of 18 and 55, researchers found that those reporting more perceived discrimination were more likely to have poorer outcomes.A year after their heart attacks, they had more physical limitations and chest pain, lower quality of life and impaired mental health.Perceived discrimination — being treated unfairly because of personal characteristics such as race, gender or sexual orientation — was already associated with risk factors for having a heart attack.Discrimination is a chronic stressor, said study author Andrew Arakaki, a...
COVID Infection Disrupts the Gut's Microbiome
1 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- COVID-19 is known to mess with a person's lungs, and can have long-term effects on the brain.Now doctors have found another way COVID harms your health -- through your gut.A COVID infection can reduce the number of bacterial species in the gut, creating an opportunity for dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacteria to thrive, according to a new study in the journal Nature Communications."Our findings suggest that coronavirus infection directly interferes with the healthy balance of microbes in the gut, further endangering patients in the process," said study co-senior author Ken Cadwell, a microbiologist at NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York City. An unhealthy gut leaves a person vulnerable to life-threatening diarrhea from harmful...
Pregnancy Often More Stressful for Women With Autism
1 November 2022
TUESDAY, Nov. 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Women who have autism are more vulnerable during pregnancy to depression and anxiety, according to a new British study.That makes it imperative that effective mental health screening and support is available to help this group, said lead researcher Sarah Hampton, from the University of Cambridge."The results also suggest that autistic people may benefit from accommodations to prenatal health care. These may include adjustments to the sensory environment of health care settings, as well as adjustments to how information is communicated during prenatal appointments," co-author Rosie Holt said in a university news release. She is a research associate at the Cambridge-based Autism Research Center.For their study, researchers surveyed more than 900...
