Get a Free Memory Screening From the Alzheimer's Foundation This November
TUESDAY, Nov. 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) – Early detection of memory issues is important. It can help rule in or out a variety of health issues, including vitamin deficiency, thyroid condition, sleep apnea, urinary tract infection and, of course, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America suggests getting screened through its free service during Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in November. The test is offered weekdays in a secure virtual format, and has no minimum age or insurance requirements.“Just as we routinely get our blood pressure and cholesterol evaluated and undergo other health screenings, we need to regularly check our brain health too,†said Charles Fuschillo, Jr., president and CEO of the foundation. “Alzheimer’s Awareness...
Heart's Electrical Signals Changed in First Pig-to-Human...
31 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Less than a year after the first-ever transplant of a pig heart into a human patient, doctors are reporting that the heart showed unexpected changes in its electrical system before the recipient ultimately died.The changes are not believed to have contributed to the patient's death. But experts said that the observation will help in preparing for any such transplants in the future.The transplant recipient, 57-year-old David Bennett, died two months after undergoing the groundbreaking procedure last January. The transplant provided him with a pig heart that had been genetically modified to help lessen the chances of his immune system rejecting it.Bennett had suffered from end-stage heart failure and was out of standard treatment options: He'd...
Florida Medical Board May Bar Gender-Affirming Care for...
31 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Transgender minors in Florida are now one step closer to not being able to get medical care to affirm their gender.In a heated hearing on Friday, the Florida Board of Medicine voted to begin drafting a rule banning puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgeries for trans youths younger than 18.This was the next step in a movement that began in April when Gov. Ron DeSantis began efforts to restrict transition-related care. At that time, DeSantis and Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo issued non-binding guidance to prevent both "social gender transition" and gender-affirming medical care for anyone under 18. Another meeting will be held Nov. 4 to discuss the draft, followed by a 28-day approval process, NBC News reported.On one side of the...
Treated or Untreated, COVID Symptoms Can Ease and Then...
31 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Nearly everyone has heard of Paxlovid rebound, where COVID-19 symptoms return after taking the antiviral and then feeling better. It even happened to President Joe Biden. But new research shows it also happens to patients who don't take the medication.“Our study suggests that people can experience rebound of symptoms and virus after feeling completely better for two days or more,†said study author Dr. Davey Smith, head of the division of infectious diseases and global public health at the University of California, San Diego“In fact, return of symptoms is very common, with over a third of people reporting return of symptoms even without any therapy,†Smith added.In 2020, Smith and his colleagues spent a month tracking 158 COVID-19...
AHA News: Dementia Risk May Be Tied to How Long Blood Pressure Stays in Target Range
31 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 31, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- The longer a person's blood pressure levels remain under control, the lower their risk may be for dementia, new research shows.The findings add to evidence suggesting that good heart and brain health is best achieved by keeping systolic blood pressure (the upper number) consistently under control, compared to having levels that vary, even if the average falls within the target range.The work will be presented Saturday at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions conference being held in Chicago and virtually. The findings are considered preliminary until full results are published in a peer-reviewed journal."This study clarified that time in target range has an incremental value beyond mean systolic blood pressure...
Bad Marriages Put Heart Attack Recovery in Peril
31 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A bad marriage can break your heart -- literally.Heart attack survivors in a stressful relationship are more likely to have a rocky recovery, a new study reports."We found there's an independent association between severe marital stress and worse outcomes within their first year of recovery," said lead researcher Cenjing Zhu, a doctoral candidate in chronic disease epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health.Compared to people in healthy relationships, heart patients under severe marital stress were 67% more likely to suffer recurring chest pain during the first year of their recovery, Zhu and her colleagues found.Severe marital stress also increased a person's chances of rehospitalization by nearly 50%, and affected their quality of life...
You're Eating Healthier These Days, But Is It as Healthy As You Think?
31 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- People trying to adopt a healthier diet probably aren't the best judges of how well they're actually eating, a new study discovers.Only about 1 in 4 people could accurately estimate how healthy they were eating when asked to assess their diet after a year spent trying to lose weight, researchers found.Worse, only 1 in 10 people understood how their diet had actually changed during that year, with most assuming they’d made much greater strides than they actually had."There's not very good agreement between what they perceive their diet quality to be and what we've calculated their diet quality to be. They're also overestimating the amount of change that they've made in their diet quality," said lead researcher Jessica Cheng. She's a...
Hearts From Donors Who Had COVID Are Safe for Transplant
31 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A person with heart failure in dire need of a new heart may have faced delays in getting one during the pandemic when potential donors tested positive for COVID-19. As some centers began accepting these hearts for transplant anyway, data from a new study shows that hearts from COVID-19 positive donors may be as safe to transplant as those from someone without the virus."These findings suggest that we may be able to be more aggressive about accepting donors that are positive for COVID-19 when patients are in dire need of an organ for heart transplantation," said study author Samuel Kim, a third-year medical student at the David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles.The study, to be presented at the American Heart...
