How Dangerous Is It for Lung Cancer Patients to Skip Radiation Treatments?
TUESDAY, Oct. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As doctors work toward developing more personalized cancer care, a new study looks at whether lung cancer patients can miss a few days of radiation treatment and make them up with a higher dose. The more treatments a patient skips, the higher their risk of early death, according to the research from Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. However, some patients may still benefit from receiving higher radiation doses if they do miss treatments.“Ideally, we can begin to adapt treatment to the individual patient,†said study co-author Dr. Peter Lee, a radiation oncology resident at Fox Chase. “So if a patient misses a certain number of days, we can change their prescription and add on a higher dose as they finish their treatment.â€For the...
Video Games May Bring Cognitive Benefits to Kids: Study
24 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- School-age kids who spend hours a day playing video games may outperform their peers on certain tests of mental agility, a new study suggests.Researchers found that compared with children who never played video games, those who regularly spent hours gaming had higher scores on two standard cognitive tests: one measuring short-term memory and another gauging impulse control.Experts stressed that the findings do not prove that gaming sharpens kids' minds. It could be that children who excel in certain mental tasks are drawn to video games."We're not demonstrating causation in this study," said lead researcher Bader Chaarani, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont.But, he added, past research into the potential effects of kids'...
Topical Cream May Restore Skin Pigmentation in People...
24 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- For the millions of people who live with vitiligo, a disease that robs the skin of its natural color, a newly approved cream called ruxolitinib (Opzelura) is quickly becoming a game changer.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved ruxolitinib for vitiligo in people aged 12 and older in July. The drug, part of a class known as Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, targets JAK, a molecule involved in the development and progression of vitiligo.About half of folks with vitiligo who used the cream got 75% or more pigment back on the face and 50% or more pigment back on their whole body after a year of use, the study found. More than one-third of adults and more than 50% of adolescents in the study said their vitiligo was no longer noticeable or a...
Marijuana Users May Feel More Post-Surgery Pain: Study
24 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Folks who regularly use weed could be in for a rocky road if they ever require major surgery, a new study reports.Frequent marijuana users tend to experience more pain as they recover from surgery, and they require more opioid drugs (like morphine) to deal with that pain, the researchers found.“It’s not an enormous amount of additional pain compared to non-users, we found, but we can’t say don’t worry about it because it’s not too much,†said lead researcher Dr. Elyad Ekrami. He is a clinical research fellow with the Cleveland Clinic’s Anesthesiology Institute. “They needed more opioids to cure their pain, so this is something that is meaningful.â€The researchers presented their findings Sunday at the annual meeting of the...
AHA News: Healthy Fun or Health Risk? The Two Sides of Fear
24 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 24, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- The good news is that fear can persuade us to avoid dangerous situations or help us flee from an angry bear.The bad news is that fear can lead to chronic stress, with serious health consequences.So should that affect your Halloween plans?Probably not, said Zachary Sikora, medical director of psychology at Northwestern Medicine in suburban Chicago – unless you think scary movies and haunted houses might trigger more serious anxiety, or if you have cardiovascular disease that could be exacerbated by a sudden and dramatic increase in heart rate and blood pressure."For most people, experiencing mild to moderate levels of fear in a safe context is good," he said. "We can embrace that and have fun."But whether it's frivolous fun or...
As Young Doctors' Work Hours Rise, So Do Odds for Depression
24 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Training to become a doctor can be grueling, and now a new study finds a direct correlation between longer work hours and depression symptoms in first-year residents.Medical residency -- the training that new doctors undergo at hospitals or clinics -- is infamous for its demanding schedule, high pressure and relatively low pay. Research has shown that residents also have fairly high depression rates. The new study suggests that long work hours, specifically, take a toll on residents' mental health.Researchers found that among more than 17,000 first-year residents across the United States, average scores on a depression scale rose hand-in-hand with the number of hours worked each week.Of residents surpassing 90 hours on the clock a week,...
Tougher Federal Penalties to Come for Failing Nursing Homes
24 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) – About 88 nursing homes in the United States are on a watch list for worrisome care that puts residents in danger, but now they will face tougher penalties for any future violation.Those tougher penalties could include the loss of federal funding if they receive more than one dangerous violation, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said Friday. The new penalties will apply to fewer than 0.5% of U.S. nursing homes that are already designated as a “special focus facility†because of a previous violation.“Let us be clear: We are cracking down on enforcement of our nation’s poorest-performing nursing homes,†said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement announcing the tougher penalties.The existing watchlist...
Child Danger: Almost Half of Parents Have Leftover Meds at Home
24 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Getting into prescription or over-the-counter medicines at home is a major source of accidental poisoning for young children.Yet, nearly half of parents say they have leftover prescriptions at home, a new poll shows."We found that it's common for parents to keep medicines long after they are expired or no longer needed, which creates an unnecessary health risk for children," said Sarah Clark. She co-directs the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health at University of Michigan Health."Younger children getting into medicine in the home is a major source of unintentional poisonings. For older children, access to these medicines brings risk of experimentation, diversion to peers or other intentional misuse," Clark said in a...
