AHA News: Former Grand Slam Tennis Champion Murphy Jensen Went From Touting CPR, AEDs to Having Them Save His Life
THURSDAY, Oct. 27, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Murphy Jensen looked across the tennis court and smiled – a joyful, mischievous grin.At 6-foot-5, with a smooth face and scalp, the bright flash of his teeth radiated warmth and happiness. No surprise there; delight is his default setting.It was the eve of his 53rd birthday and he was playing a mixed doubles exhibition against his big brother, Luke. It was a friendly competition, but it had the feel of a competition nonetheless – which makes sense considering their history.As doubles partners, they once electrified tennis. With long blonde hair, loud clothes and flying chest bump celebrations, they won the 1993 French Open and soared into mainstream fame.Years later, they still draw a crowd. And Murphy still hits the ball...
Scientists Use Sound to Ease Patients' Chronic Nightmares
27 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- People plagued by frequent nightmares may find relief from hearing a specific sound as they sleep, a new, small study suggests.It's estimated that about 4% of adults have nightmares that are frequent and distressing enough to impair their sleep and daily functioning. In some cases, the nightmares are related to an underlying condition, like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), while others are considered "idiopathic," or having no known cause.Many nightmare sufferers simply live with them."Most people either think it's normal to have so many nightmares, or they don't know there's treatment available," said Jennifer Mundt, a behavioral sleep medicine specialist at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago.When it comes to nightmare disorder, as it's...
New Bill Would Ensure Free Exams for Sexual Assault Victims
27 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- After a sexual assault, some victims are charged for the initial treatment and collection of evidence, even though U.S. federal law requires those services to be free.Now, a new federal bill aims to change that by requiring private insurance companies to cover these costs for their customers."This legislation is needed because too many survivors, grappling with trauma, also become burdened with the cost of a forensic medical exam -- even though they shouldn't be," U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.), said in a statement. The No Surprises for Survivors Act makes forensic medical exams an emergency service under the 2020 No Surprises Act, which earlier protected those privately insured from surprise medical bills for certain emergency care. Despite...
Brain Waves Could Help Guide Concussion Diagnosis, Treatment
27 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A particular brain wave may help diagnose concussions in high school football players and predict when it's safe for them to return to play, new research suggests.Delta waves are markers of brain injury and perhaps healing. They tend to decrease with age, but researchers found increased levels of these low-frequency waves in the brains of high school football players after a concussion. Levels declined only after symptoms eased, the researchers observed."There's debate right now in the science literature over whether that indicates damage or if it's a healing response to the damage," said lead researcher Elizabeth Davenport, an assistant professor of radiology at University of Texas Southwestern O'Donnell Brain Institute in Dallas. "The...
U.S. Cancer Death Rates Continue to Decline
27 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The latest statistics from the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) show a continuing decline in the number of Americans who die from cancer, although there's been little change in the number of new cancer cases."From 2015 to 2019, overall cancer death rates decreased by 2.1% per year in men and women combined," according to a statement issued by the NCI on Thursday. The biggest drops in lethal cancers were for two major types: Deaths from the No. 1 cancer killer, lung cancer, fell by 4% each year from 2015 to 2019, while deaths linked to melanoma fell by 5% annually. "The findings in this year's Annual Report to the Nation show our ongoing progress against cancer, continuing a more than two-decade trend in declining mortality that reflects...
Deadly Aneurysm-Linked Strokes Are Rising, Especially Among Black Americans
27 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- An often-deadly type of stroke -- subarachnoid hemorrhage -- is on the upswing in the United States, particularly among Black people, new research shows.Unlike the more common ischemic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage happens when there is bleeding in the space between the brain and the membrane that covers it. It is often caused by an aneurysm, a bulge in a blood vessel, that bursts or leaks.This type of stroke, which comprises about 5% to 10% of strokes, is rising in certain groups, especially older men and women, middle-aged men and disproportionately in Black people, researchers say. "It's on the rise, but the rise is not universal," said study co-author Dr. Fadar Otite, assistant professor of neurology at SUNY Upstate Medical University...
People With Untreated HIV Being Hit Hardest by Monkeypox
27 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While monkeypox cases are declining in the United States, a new government report shows that patients with weakened immune systems, especially those living with HIV, have been hit particularly hard by the virus.Even after taking antiviral medication for monkeypox, those with untreated HIV were more likely to end up in the hospital, the researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.Since May, about 28,000 monkeypox cases have been reported in this country, and 12 people who were hospitalized with the virus have died. In the report, CDC scientists described the cases of 57 patients treated between mid-August and Oct. 10. All of the patients had severe lesions caused by the virus, including 39 people who experienced...
Black Americans Less Likely to Receive Lifesaving CPR: Study
27 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When someone collapses in front of witnesses, the chances of receiving potentially lifesaving CPR may partly depend on the color of their skin, a new study suggests.Researchers found that when Black and Hispanic Americans suffer cardiac arrest, they are up to 37% less likely than white people to receive bystander CPR in public places and at home. The reasons for the disparity are not certain, but there are potential explanations, said senior researcher Dr. Paul Chan, of Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City, Mo.CPR trainings, he said, are less available in Black and Hispanic communities, and there are other barriers like cost, which may help account for the disparities in responses to at-home cardiac arrests.But going into...
