Over a Million Americans Are Rationing Insulin Due to High Cost
TUESDAY, Oct. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- More than 1 million Americans with diabetes have to ration lifesaving insulin because they can't afford it, a new study shows.Many people delayed picking up their insulin prescription, while others took lower doses than they needed, researchers found.Experts said the findings are hardly surprising: Insulin prices have skyrocketed over the past 20 years, and surveys have suggested that many Americans ration the drug to save money."Our findings reinforce, in a nationally representative sample, what patients have been saying for years," said researcher Dr. Adam Gaffney, a critical care specialist at Harvard Medical School and Cambridge Health Alliance.Insulin is a hormone that shuttles sugars from food into body cells to be used for fuel.

Flesh-Eating Bacteria Cases Spike in Florida County...
18 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) – Florida residents dealing with the horrific aftermath of Hurricane Ian now need to be concerned about a spike in flesh-eating bacteria cases, health officials warned."The Florida Department of Health in Lee County is observing an abnormal increase in cases of Vibrio vulnificus infections as a result of exposure to the flood waters and standing waters following Hurricane Ian," the county health department said in a statement. Residents should "always be aware of the potential risks associated when exposing open wounds, cuts or scratches on the skin to warm, brackish or salt water.""Sewage spills, like those caused from Hurricane Ian, may increase bacteria levels," the statement continued. "As the post-storm situation evolves, individuals...
Some Donor Livers Keep Working for 100 Years: Study
18 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Some human livers are tougher than others, lasting more than 100 cumulative years between the organ’s original host and a transplant recipient, a new study discovers.Understanding what makes these livers so resilient could help improve the donor pool by paving the way for expanded use of livers from older donors, the researchers said.“We previously tended to shy away from using livers from older donors,†said study co-author Dr. Christine Hwang, an associate professor of surgery with the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, in Dallas. “If we can sort out what is special amongst these donors, we could potentially get more available livers to be transplanted and have good outcomes.â€There were more than 11,000 U.S. patients...
Along Eastern Seaboard, Hurricanes Getting Bigger, Wetter
18 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The Atlantic seaboard could be in for faster-forming and wetter hurricanes, new research warns.Climate change is the overarching cause, experts say.As parts of the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico recover from powerful hurricanes Ian and Fiona, scientists are trying to better understand the conditions that cause storms to intensify rapidly. “Our findings have profound implications for coastal residents, decision- and policy-makers,†said Karthik Balaguru, a climate scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. “And this isn’t specific only to the Atlantic. It’s happening in several prominent coastal regions across the world.â€Fast-building storms like Hurricane Ian outpace the best...
Early Elementary School Start Times May Not Harm Kids' Grades
18 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While later school start times can benefit middle and high school students, elementary school kids do just fine with an earlier wake-up call, according to new research.An earlier bell in elementary school may mean less sleep, but it doesn't affect learning for those children, according to research in a pair of studies published Oct. 13 in the journal Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis. Most other studies have looked at older students who have been found to benefit from later openings because of biological changes in their sleep."We found earlier start times for elementary schoolers do not have the same negative effects as they do for middle and high schoolers," said study co-author Sarah Crittenden Fuller, a research associate...
Not Just for Glasses: Eye Exams Could Save Your Life
18 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Eyes may be your window to good health.Patient Barbara Krupar, a 65-year-old Ohio retiree, learned this firsthand.Krupar made an appointment with her ophthalmologist after experiencing disturbing vision changes.Dr. Nicole Bajic detected possible early warning signs of a stroke. She advised Krupar to go to the emergency room immediately to have her head and neck imaged.At the hospital, the ER physician discovered that the carotid artery in her neck was 85% blocked, putting Krupar at imminent risk of suffering a stroke. The eye exam may have saved her life.Exams can give view to some serious health conditions a person may be experiencing, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune diseases,...
As Clinics Providing Abortions Closed in Iowa, STD Rates Started Rising
17 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 17, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Even before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last summer, many states had already moved to limit abortion access by defunding family planning health centers.Unfortunately, these very same clinics offer a broad range of essential primary care services beyond abortion, including access to sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening and treatment.Now, a new study uncovers the potential fallout of closing those centers: Researchers found dramatically higher rates of both gonorrhea and chlamydia across Iowa right after the passage of a statewide defunding law back in 2017. “So many patients seeking care in these clinics are looking for services not related to abortion care,†explained study author Dr. Megan Srinivas, an...
