Quieter ORs May Make for Happier Kids After Surgery
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The key to better child behavior after surgery may be a more peaceful operating room.“The period before, during and after surgery is a particularly unpredictable time for parents,†explained Nguyen Tram, a research scientist at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. "By implementing some small measures in the OR, we found we were able to markedly improve some of this uncertainty for parents in the key behavioral areas of mood, eating and engagement,†added Tram, lead author of a new study. Excessive noise in the operating room can increase anxiety and negatively affect patient safety and comfort. This is especially true when anesthesia is administered and when the patient emerges from anesthesia, the research team said in...
No Sign of Human Herpesvirus in African Gorillas
26 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Despite the presence of gorilla trekkers in their habitat, endangered gorillas in the region surrounding East Africa's Virunga Volcanoes do not have human herpesvirus, researchers say.The Gorilla Doctors team was able to assess the region's mountain gorillas in a noninvasive way, simply watching the animals as they walked through the forest. As the gorillas chomped on vegetation such as wild celery and tossed away the stalks, researchers would retrieve the discarded plant and record the name of the gorilla in this conservation area, where they know each one. The plant leavings would be drenched with enough saliva to analyze.Scientists from the University of California, Davis tested the gorilla saliva for orally shed pathogens to rule out the...
Vitamin D Could Help Extend Your Life: Study
25 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A vitamin D deficiency puts you at risk for more than just weakened bones, a major new study reports.Too little vitamin D in your system can increase your overall risk of premature death, as well as your specific risk of dying from cancer, heart disease or lung disease, according to data gleaned from more than 307,000 U.K. residents.“Each of the cause-specific forms of death that we assessed echo the same theme – this being the importance of having sufficient vitamin D prior to facing any of these life-challenging situations,†said lead researcher Joshua Sutherland. He is a PhD candidate with the Australian Center for Precision Health at the University of South Australia.Vitamin D is known at the “sunshine vitamin†because your skin...
Toddlers Nap a Lot - and Then They Don't. New Research...
25 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Why do some preschoolers refuse naps while others have a meltdown without an afternoon snooze? Researchers suspect it may have a lot to do with a specific memory-related part of the brain.While young children all need a lot of sleep, they do vary widely in when they stop napping during the day: Some leave naps behind by the time they are 3, while many others happily take an afternoon nap through age 5 or even longer.Parents typically care a lot about that timing, said Rebecca Spencer, a professor of psychological and brain sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.Some enjoy their youngsters' naps as a personal break time. But for other parents, Spencer said, afternoon naps are inconvenient and "they can't wait for them to be...
Scientists Probe How Sleep Helps Create Lasting Memories
25 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- It's a question many have asked: How are memories made to last?Now, a new study claims they are solidified during sleep through the interplay of two distinct brain regions.Memories are set in the brain as it cycles between slow-wave and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which happens about five times a night, researchers report in the Oct. 24 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.A computer model of the brain reveals that, during those deep sleep cycles, the hippocampus is teaching the neocortex what it learned during the events of the previous day, the scientists said.The hippocampus is the brain’s center for new memories, and is tasked with picking up day-to-day information, the researchers explained. The neocortex is...
AHA News: Telehealth May Be Just as Good as Clinic Visits for Treating High Blood Pressure
25 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 25, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Telehealth care by pharmacists is an effective alternative to clinic-based care for managing high blood pressure, a new study has found.Scientists know that high blood pressure is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular-related deaths in the U.S. But controlling the condition, also known as hypertension, has been difficult.Nearly half of U.S. adults have high blood pressure, but only about 1 in 5 has their hypertension under control.For the new study, researchers compared two types of care for moderately severe, uncontrolled high blood pressure: traditional clinic-based care, using face-to face visits with doctors and medical assistants, and telehealth care, with home blood pressure telemonitoring and home-based care...
Cases of Child RSV Are Swamping Hospitals. What Are the Symptoms, Treatments?
25 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Pediatricians’ offices, children’s hospitals, urgent care centers and emergency rooms across the United States are being overwhelmed by an early, heavy surge of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) among infants and young children.Reported cases of RSV started rising dramatically in September, and by mid-October were at their highest levels in at least two years, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.“It's causing a lot of strain on the system, and it's a phenomenon that's happening across the country,†said Dr. Ron Keren, chief medical officer with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.While RSV infection manifests as just a common cold in most kids, some will develop very serious breathing problems that...
Too Often, Women Aren't Told of Sexual Side Effects of Cancer Treatments
25 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When a man has cancer in an area that affects sexual function, his doctor is likely to discuss it with him.But the same is not true for a woman who has cancer in a sex organ, according to new research. Investigators found 9 in 10 men were asked about their sexual health, yet only 1 in 10 women received the same care. "There seems to be a big disparity in the way we approach sexual dysfunction with our patients, where female patients are asked about sexual issues much less often than male patients are," said lead author Dr. Jamie Takayesu. She is a radiation oncology resident physician at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center."Equally importantly, we see this trend on a national level in clinical trials," Takayesu said.The findings...
