U.S. Gun Deaths Reach New Highs
THURSDAY, Oct. 6, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Murders and suicides involving guns have reached an all-time high in the United States, health officials reported Thursday.From 2020 to 2021, the rate of firearm homicides increased by more than 8%, as did the rate of firearm suicides, according to the report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."It's worth noting that firearms were used in the vast majority of all homicides [81%] in 2021," said report author Thomas Simon, associate director for science in the Division of Violence Prevention at the CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention. "That's up from 79% in 2020. And this is, overall, the highest percentage that we've seen in a long time, and we're able to go back more than 50 years." The news was similarly bad for...
1 in 7 U.S. High School Students Now Vapes
6 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 6, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Teen vaping continues at concerning levels, U.S. health officials reported Thursday. About 2.5 million middle school and high school students reported that they had vaped in the past 30 days in 2022, according to new data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. That was 14.1% of high school students and 3.3% of those in middle school. "This study shows that our nation's youth continue to be enticed and hooked by an expanding variety of e-cigarette brands delivering flavored nicotine," said Deirdre Lawrence Kittner, director of the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health."Our work is far from over," Kittner said in a CDC news release. "It's critical that we work together to prevent youth...
Fish Oil Could Strengthen Your Aging Brain
6 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 6, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Fish has been dubbed "brain food," and a new study suggests that may really be true for middle-aged adults.Researchers found that among more than 2,000 middle-aged people, those with higher blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids performed better on tests of certain thinking skills. They also had thicker tissue in a brain area related to memory -- one that typically thins when older adults develop dementia.Omega-3 fatty acids -- particularly two known as DHA and EPA -- are most abundant in fatty fish like salmon, bluefin tuna, mackerel, herring and sardines. They can also be taken via fish oil supplements.A number of studies have linked higher omega-3 intake to better brain function, and even a reduced risk of dementia. But for the most part, they...
Late-Night Meals Especially Bad for Weight Gain: Study
6 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 6, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Your fondness for midnight snacks has caused you to pack on the pounds over the years, and now researchers have a better understanding of why.While late-night eating has long been linked with an increased risk for obesity, researchers weren't sure exactly how it caused weight gain until now."When meals are delayed by four hours and everything else stays the same, you burn fewer calories, have an increased drive for food, and experience changes in fat tissue that would promote weight gain," said study author Frank Scheer. He's the director of the Medical Chronobiology Program at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and a professor at Harvard Medical School.The solution? Eat earlier in the day, he said. "The new data suggest, together with the...
AHA News: He Ran a 10K, Went Into Heart Failure and Got a New Heart – All in a Few Weeks
6 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 6, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Several days after running a 10K event in Atlanta in 2019, Arthur Vaughn found himself breathless simply walking across the room.Vaughn's primary care physician recommended he see a cardiologist. The exam included a stress test. After three minutes on the treadmill, Vaughn vomited. The doctor told him to ask his then-wife to join them.When she arrived, the doctor broke the news: Vaughn was in such severe heart failure that he would need a transplant.Vaughn fell to the ground, crying. "I'm not ready to die!" said the then-50-year-old.Vaughn was admitted to a local hospital. He continued to get weaker, drifting in and out of consciousness. Later that week, he was airlifted to another facility better able to care for cases like...
Move to Zero-Emission Trucks Could Save 66,000 U.S. Lives
6 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 6, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Replacing diesel-powered trucks and the toxic pollutants they spew with electric vehicles would save tens of thousands of U.S. lives, a new American Lung Association report says.The benefit would accrue if all medium- and heavy-duty trucks sold have zero emissions by 2050, and if the electricity they use comes from non-combustion renewable energy, not fossil fuels, by 2035, according to the report ."Because truck pollution is such a huge source of pollution that threatens health in communities across the United States, this transition to zero-emission trucks and zero-emission clean energy by 2050 would result in 66,000 avoided premature deaths, 2 million asthma attacks avoided and $735 billion in human cumulative public health benefits because...
Instagram 'Post-Baby' Body Shots Don't Reflect Average Women
6 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 6, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Millions of women routinely check Instagram after giving birth, only to see posts by other new moms showing off how fast they got back into svelte shape.Of course, photos like those can be a real downer for women who don't have the time or resources to lose pregnancy weight that quickly. Are they "failures" for not doing so? No, say Australian researchers who published the new findings recently in the journal Healthcare. The study will also be presented Oct. 18-22 at the International Congress on Obesity in Melbourne, Australia.The investigators found that the average woman probably does not post Instagram "postpartum body" shots. Those who do post may give Instagram users a skewed version of what a postpartum figure is supposed to look like....
Petting a Dog Does Your Brain Some Good
6 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 6, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- If you have dogs, you probably already know that petting them can give you a lift. Researchers set out to prove that using technology to show what happens in the brain when stroking or sitting next to a dog. They also compared that to petting a stuffed animal. They found that when study participants viewed, felt and touched real dogs it led to increasingly high levels of activity in the prefrontal cortex, which helps regulate and process social and emotional interactions."Prefrontal brain activity in healthy subjects increased with a rise in interactional closeness with a dog or a plush animal, but especially in contact with the dog the activation is stronger," wrote study authors led by Rahel Marti at the University of Basel in Switzerland....
