Family Meals Together Ease Stress, Survey Confirms
TUESDAY, Oct. 11, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Experts have long suggested that family dinners serve up many health benefits.Now, a new survey from the American Heart Association backs that up: An overwhelming 91% of parents said their family is less stressed when they break bread with each other. “Sharing meals with others is a great way to reduces stress, boost self-esteem and improve social connection, particularly for kids,†said Dr. Erin Michos, American Heart Association volunteer and associate director of preventive cardiology at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. “Chronic, constant stress can also increase your lifetime risk of heart disease and stroke, so it is important for people to find ways to reduce and manage stress as much as possible, as soon as possible.“About 1,000...
Most U.S. Voters Want Products Free of Harmful...
11 October 2022
TUESDAY, Oct. 11, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Do the majority of Americans want government to make sure the products they buy are free of harmful chemicals?Yes, a new survey shows, and they are even willing to pay more to get that assurance of safety.“At a time when most issues are politically polarized, the issue of keeping people safe from harmful chemicals finds widespread agreement among Democrats, Republicans and Independent voters,†said Celinda Lake, president of Lake Research Partners, which conducted the poll. The Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment (PRHE) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), commissioned the survey.More than 90% of those polled wanted the U.S. government to require products to be screened for harmful chemicals and proven safe...
Noninvasive Test Might Easily Spot Asthma in Preschoolers
10 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 10, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Hearing an infant wheeze for the first time can be scary for new parents, as wheezing is known to raise a child’s risk of developing asthma.There’s been no easy way to predict a child will actually develop the respiratory condition without running invasive tests, but now a short questionnaire may do just that.In a new study, CHART (Childhood Asthma Risk Tool) identified 91% of 3-year-olds who continued to have wheezing and other asthma symptoms by age 5, outperforming doctor diagnoses and the standard modified Asthma Predictive Index, which requires invasive tests.CHART asks a series of questions about wheezing and coughing in the previous year. It’s meant to be answered by parents every six months after a child’s first birthday. The...
Big Rise in E-Scooter Injuries Among U.S. Kids
10 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 10, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- With the growing popularity of electric scooters, the number of kids injured while riding them has jumped dramatically, a new study finds. Moreover, those injuries have become more severe: In the past decade, the number of patients admitted to hospitals after an e-scooter accident rose from one in 20 to one in eight.The findings beg the question of whether young kids should be using e-scooters at all. Often regulations about their use are left up to local areas and, in many places, no regulations exist and no training on their use is required, the investigators said. "The regulations surrounding the use of these scooters vary widely across the country," said lead researcher Dr. Harrison Hayward, an emergency medicine fellow at Children’s...
Knee, Shoulder Surgeries Without Opioids? It's Possible, Study Finds
10 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 10, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While politicians and health officials seek solutions to an opioid epidemic that kills tens of thousands every year, doctors who prescribe the pain medications are seeking alternatives for their patients.New research suggests one way to handle pain for minimally invasive knee or shoulder surgery could be as simple as combining three common medications: the anti-inflammatory naproxen (Aleve); pain reliever acetaminophen (Tylenol); and pantoprazole (Protonix), a proton-pump inhibitor used for gastrointestinal issues.These medications along with counseling about pain and the risks of opioids led to similar scores for pain relief, patient satisfaction and adverse events compared to standard care, which includes opioids, the study found.“We were...
Order of Radiation Sickness Drug Unrelated to Recent Events in Ukraine, U.S. Health Officials Say
10 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 10, 2022 (HealthDay News) – While the United States has recently ordered a $290 million supply of a drug meant to treat radiation sickness, federal health officials say that’s not cause for alarm.It's coincidental that the order of Nplate, made by pharmaceutical company Amgen, comes just as Russian President Vladimir Putin is making nuclear threats, say officials at the the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). On Monday morning, Putin also ordered a series of missile strikes against at least 10 cities across Ukraine, hitting the capital city of Kyiv and other areas far from the front line.Despite these developments, the U.S. purchase of Nplate is part of “long-standing, ongoing efforts by the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response to...
Americans Are Prioritizing Mental Health, With New 988 Hotline There to Help
10 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 10, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As the 988 crisis line debuts across the United States, a new Harris Poll shows that Americans are ready to make mental health and suicide prevention a top priority.Over eight in 10 adults now believe it's more important than ever to consider suicide prevention a national public health crisis, according to the poll sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Suicide Prevention Resource Center.Unfortunately, the poll also revealed some major misconceptions about how the 988 line actually works, as well as potential barriers that could keep people from reaching out for the help they need.The good news? Nearly everyone who responded to the poll (94%) sees suicide as a preventable public health issue. “More people during...
Drug Shows Promise Against Autoimmune Disease Scleroderma
10 October 2022
MONDAY, Oct. 10, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers report early success with using an existing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) drug to treat systemic sclerosis, a rare but potentially devastating autoimmune condition. The disease, a subset of scleroderma, hardens the skin and affects internal organs, but no approved treatment for it exists. So, the research team from the University of Michigan and University of Pittsburgh decided to study whether the RA drug tofacitinib (Xeljanz) might work in early stages of the disease. To do that, they worked with 15 patients who had early systemic sclerosis. While 10 of the patients received 5 milligrams of tofacitinib twice a day, the other five received a placebo for the 24 weeks of the study.The researchers found that the treated patients had...
