Common A-Fib Treatment May Be Riskier for Women
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While a common non-drug treatment called ablation exists for the heart rhythm disorder atrial fibrillation (a-fib), the procedure can be more problematic for women than for men.A-fib, a chaotic electrical pattern in the upper chambers of the heart, affects up to 20% of Americans during their lifetimes. It can be dangerous, raising the odds for a stroke.A new study looked to better understand differences in treating men and women for a-fib, and its authors called for further research to improve quality of life for female patients.“This study is a call to arms to continue efforts to mitigate the risk of these procedures and continue to try to improve the safety profile for women,†said Dr. James Freeman, associate professor of medicine...
It Doesn't Take Much Weight Gain to Raise Odds for Knee...
19 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A person doesn’t have to pack on very many extra pounds before their risk of needing a knee replacement increases substantially, a new evidence review has found.Weight gain of just 11 pounds increases a woman’s odds of needing total knee replacement surgery by one-third, and a man’s by one-quarter, researchers reported Tuesday at the International Congress on Obesity in Melbourne, Australia.Knee pain and stiffness also increased with this weight gain, while people’s overall quality of life and ability to use their knee decreased, the researchers said.Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the joints wears away over time, allowing the ends of bones to rub against each other, causing pain, swelling and stiffness.Losing...
Genes for Stillbirth May Be Passed Down by Male Relatives
19 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Stillbirth is heartbreaking tragedy for parents, but exactly what raises the risk of it remains elusive.Certain health conditions in a pregnant woman can be a factor, but new research came up with a surprising finding: Stillbirth risk appears to be inherited through male members of the family on either side."Stillbirth is one of those problems that is so tragic and life-changing," said study co-author Dr. Jessica Page, an assistant professor in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at University of Utah Health and Intermountain Healthcare. "It is especially frustrating when you don't have a good answer for why it happens," she said in a university news release. "This knowledge may give us the opportunity to change how we risk stratify...
Online Sexual Abuse of Kids Is Common; Perps Usually...
18 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Substantial numbers of kids and teens are being tracked, lured and sexually abused online, and adult strangers aren’t always the perps.In many cases, it’s friends and dating partners who are doing the grooming, a new study shows.The prevailing image of online sexual abuse is an older predator who seeks out kids online, but the researchers said that’s not really the case. “The majority of perpetrators are offline acquaintances,†said study author David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire, in Durham. “Boyfriends and other friends are misusing images they have received or taken non-consensually, and adults known from their face-to-face life are using technology to get...
Selma Blair Exits 'Dancing With the Stars,' Citing MS Health Concerns
18 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Actress Selma Blair made one last waltz through the “Dancing with the Stars" ballroom on Monday night.The actress, who has multiple sclerosis, announced during the show that it would be her last turn on the dance floor because of the impact on her health."With a chronic illness, you do have special considerations and my body is definitely taking a hit. It's way too much for the safety of my bones," Blair said."There's just intensive bone trauma and inflammation, among rips and tears, and so I could do extensive damage that, of course, I do not want," she continued.Blair, whose movie and TV career includes 2001's “Legally Blonde,†made her diagnosis public in 2018. She and her health were featured in the 2021 documentary "Introducing,...
Exercise During Chemo Helps Your Heart, Lungs Recover
18 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When you are getting chemotherapy, exercise may be the last thing on your mind. Now, new research suggests it should be the first.Exercising during chemotherapy is safe, improves long-term cardiac and respiratory function and may help ease some of the ravages of treatment, Dutch researchers report. If you can't exercise during chemotherapy, then you should start after treatment to get your heart function back to normal, they added."These findings suggest that the most optimal timing of physical exercise is during chemotherapy," said senior study author Dr. Annemiek Walenkamp, a medical oncologist at the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands. "However, initiating an exercise program after chemotherapy is a viable alternative...
Feds Make Big Funding Push for More Mental Health Clinics
18 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The federal government is pumping millions more dollars into an effort to expand the United States' network of community mental health centers.Up to 15 states now can apply for $1 million grants to help plan new Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC) in their region, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced Tuesday. Funding for the grants was included in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, passed earlier this year.These crisis centers are available around the clock to help anyone with mental health or substance abuse problems, regardless of their ability to pay.The $15 million in additional planning funds is in addition to nearly $300 million awarded in September for new and existing CCBHCs, the agency...
As Tough Flu Season Looms, CDC Hopes for More Flu Shots Among Minorities
18 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- It's a troubling equation: Many Americans with the highest rates of hospitalization for influenza have the lowest uptake of the annual flu vaccine.That's why the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is stepping up outreach to minority communities, including Black, Hispanic and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) groups, and working to reduce barriers to vaccination.“Flu vaccines are the best way to protect against flu and its potentially serious complications,†said Dr. Debra Houry, the CDC's acting principal deputy director. “Improving access to and trust in flu vaccines among people is critical to help reduce inequities.â€Since 2010, flu vaccination rates have been consistently lower among Black, Hispanic and AI/AN adults...
