Sleep-Deprived Kids Will Snack More: Study
MONDAY, Oct. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Experts studying kids' sleep and eating habits have learned more about a potential reason for childhood obesity.Kids who are deprived of sleep tend to eat more calories the next day, researchers found. And some of those extra calories come from less-healthy, sugar-laden snacks or treats."When children lost sleep, overall they ate an extra 74 calories per day, caused by an increase of 96 calories per day in non-core foods such as crisps and chocolate, which potentially increases the risk of obesity," said Jill Haszard, a biostatistician at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. "Such a difference could easily explain why not getting enough sleep increases the risk of obesity in children," she said in a university news release.The...
Tips on Keeping Joints Limber, Healthy as You Age
22 October 2022
SATURDAY, Oct. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- For many people, it is possible to slow the loss of joint cartilage as they age and avoid surgery to boot.Certain steps can help with that, said one orthopedic surgeon from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., who offered tips for maintaining joint health and also for managing pain in those who are already experiencing osteoarthritis. Dr. Joaquin Sanchez-Sotelo said cartilage, that shock-absorbing, slippery tissue at the ends of bones, degenerates for various reasons.Those reasons include being born with abnormally shaped bones or a tendency toward weaker cartilage. Obesity, overuse and injuries from accidents also can damage joints and cartilage."When cartilage degenerates, the body forms bone spurs," Sanchez-Sotelo said. "This is a reaction...
Almost All Adolescents Who Begin Gender-Affirming...
21 October 2022
FRIDAY, Oct. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When young adolescents strongly identify with a gender that does not match their gender at birth, one option is to offer a reversible treatment that can delay the onset of puberty.If the desire to transition endures, that delay can be followed with a second step: hormone treatments designed to trigger physical changes that match a young person's true sense of identity. But that begs the question: how soon is too soon? According to a new Dutch study, the answer is clear: years after young teens initiate puberty suppression and hormone treatment, nearly all continue to embrace the transition process as young adults."This study is the first in its kind," noted lead author Dr. Marianne van der Loos, an internal medicine physician at the Centre of...
Bald Men, Take Note: Scientists Grow Hair Follicles in...
21 October 2022
FRIDAY, Oct. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- In what could be an advance against hair loss, researchers say they've successfully grown hair follicles in culture in the lab. The Japanese research team created a system that produces fully mature hair follicles — the tube-like structure in which the root and strand of a hair grow — as well as hair as long as 3 millimeters after a few weeks’ growth.The system relies on organoids — tiny, simple versions of an organ that scientists create in lab culture dishes using stem cells.As an embryo develops, hair follicles form due to the interaction between the outer layer of the skin and the connective tissue called mesenchyme that lies beneath, the researchers said.Until now, scientists have been unable to understand those interactions well...
New Biden Plan Would Help Pregnant Women Fight Opioid Addiction
21 October 2022
FRIDAY, Oct. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Pregnant women addicted to opioids have both a compelling reason to change and a harder time getting medications to battle their substance use disorder.Now, a new plan from the Biden administration would expand the use of medications to treat addiction in pregnant women through federal court and health programs. "This is a bold statement, a big moment, coming from the president and the vice president, to show that pregnancy is the golden opportunity to help women get into recovery," Dr. Anna Lembke, medical director of addiction medicine at Stanford University, told the New York Times.The White House was expected on Friday to release a report on the initiative, which would use the Justice Department, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the...
Chickenpox Vaccine Has Nearly Erased Deaths, Hospitalizations From Virus in U.S.
21 October 2022
FRIDAY, Oct. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- New government data shows that the chickenpox vaccine has virtually eliminated deaths and severe cases of the virus in U.S. children and teens.In the analysis, released Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 97% fewer chickenpox cases among people under 20, along with 94% fewer hospitalizations and 99% fewer deaths through 2019. An estimated 90% of American children are now vaccinated against chickenpox.“The high vaccination coverage the country has achieved has led to a huge decline in cases, from 4 million per year†to around 150,000, Dr. Mona Marin, a medical epidemiologist at the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease, told NBC News.Marin said those statistics represent “a...
AHA News: Protecting LGBTQ People From the Health Risks of Social Isolation
21 October 2022
FRIDAY, Oct. 21, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- The ways Donald M. Bell and his Chicago neighbors connect with one another are as simple as they are significant."We have certain rituals that pull certain clumps of people together," said Bell, 73. Sometimes, it's gathering to watch "Jeopardy!" in the community room of their senior apartment building. Other times, they make meals for each other, because cooking for one can be hard, but sharing is easy.They watch one another's pets and accompany each other on visits to the doctor and check in on their neighbors after medical procedures – such as the triple-bypass surgery Bell had about six years ago.Such acts are healthy for anyone at any age. But as residents of the city's first LGBTQ-friendly senior housing development,...
ERs Seeing Huge Rise in Cases of Sexual Assault
21 October 2022
FRIDAY, Oct. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Victims of sexual assault are seeking treatment in U.S. emergency rooms in growing numbers, with University of Michigan (UM) researchers detecting a 15-fold increase between 2006 and 2019.Rapes and other forms of sexual assault occur every 68 seconds in the United States, and their number rose from 93,000 in 2006 to nearly 140,000 in 2019, according to data from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. The increase in people seeking emergency medical care after sexual violence, however, is greater than the growth of those turning to the police for help, the study authors said.And while there are more sexual assaults occurring, greater awareness and hospital coding changes are also contributing to the spike, the researchers noted. "Overall...
