Americans Are Worried About AI in the Workplace: Poll
MONDAY, Sept. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Could an algorithm take your job someday? Concerns about artificial intelligence, or AI, are plaguing U.S. workers, according to a new American Psychological Association poll.Some workers are uncomfortable with the way their employers are tracking them, while others worry that AI will make their jobs obsolete.“Employers interested in investing in artificial intelligence systems must also invest in their employees, educating them about the role of AI and provide opportunities for feedback,†said Arthur Evans Jr., chief executive officer of APA. “The workplace is changing rapidly. Open and honest communication from employers can help relieve employees’ anxieties about the unknown and improve overall well-being, which is associated with...
City Living Means More Coughs, Colds for Kids
11 September 2023
MONDAY, Sept. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Two new studies looked to explain an increased risk of respiratory infections like coughs and colds in babies and young children, finding city living to be among the culprits.Young children who grow up in towns and cities instead of the countryside suffer more respiratory infections, according to research presented Monday at a meeting of the European Respiratory Society, in Milan, Italy. Findings presented at medical meetings are considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.A second study that was also presented at the event and published Sept. 11 in the journal Pediatric Pulmonology, found that attending day care, living in a damp home or residing near dense traffic increased young children's risk of chest infections....
Healthy, Diverse Infant Microbiome Could Shield Kids...
11 September 2023
MONDAY, Sept. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Babies who have more mature microbes in their gut are less likely to have allergy-related wheezing and asthma in early childhood, according to new research.“Our studies on the Barwon Infant Study showed that a more mature infant gut microbiota at one year of age was associated with a lower chance of developing food allergies and asthma in childhood. This appeared to be driven by the overall composition of the gut microbiota rather than specific bacteria,†said Dr. Yuan Gao, a research fellow at Deakin University in Geelong, Australia.“We then hypothesized that advanced maturation of the infant gut microbiota in early life is associated with decreased risk of allergy-related wheeze in later childhood,†Gao said.Study findings were...
People Infected With Hepatitis C May Need the Hepatitis...
11 September 2023
MONDAY, Sept. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Patients with hepatitis C should consider being vaccinated again for hepatitis B, because their immune response to the initial shot may be inadequate, a new study suggests.Researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School urge those who have hepatitis C to be checked for hepatitis B immune protection. If none is present, they should get the vaccine again after treating hepatitis C.Previous research had shown that individuals with hepatitis C infection had a lower response to the hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine.“This study has broad implications for public health in hepatitis-infected individuals,†Dr. Jose Debes, an associate professor in the schools of medicine and public health, said in a university news release. “It is known...
Old Age & Heat Can Be Deadly Combo: Tips to Stay Safe
11 September 2023
MONDAY, Sept. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Hot weather can pose serious health risks for older adults.Existing medical conditions, problems moving around and medications raise the risk of heatstroke, according to an expert at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.Being prepared can help prevent heat exhaustion and heatstroke.“As we age, we become less efficient at noticing and adjusting to the heat,†geriatrics specialist Dr. Juan Cobo said in a center news release. “We sweat less, slowing our ability to cool down. At the same time, we become less sensitive to thirst. By the time we feel thirsty, we’re already dehydrated to some degree.â€Certain conditions and medications add to the risk that someone will overheat. These include lack of mobility because it may be hard for...
Surgery Soon? Use These 3 Tips to Manage Post-Surgical Pain
10 September 2023
SUNDAY, Sept. 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When someone has surgery, pain may be top of mind. An expert in managing post-op pain offers three tips for keeping it under control, safely. “Pain can inhibit recovery, but good pain control can be an accelerator of a patient’s recovery,†said Dr. Jonah Stulberg, a member of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Patient Education Committee and vice chair of research for the Department of Surgery at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center of Houston.While for most people pain will be either mild or relieved within a few days following surgery, some patients have lingering pain that may develop into chronic pain.First, patients should begin by discussing pain control with their health providers before surgery.“Bringing up pain...
Melatonin for Kids: Is it Safe? How to Help School Children Get Good Sleep
9 September 2023
SATURDAY, Sept. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Lots of parents are giving their children the supplement melatonin to help with sleep, but is it safe? In a new survey, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) found that 46% of parents -- what it called a “shocking number†-- have given melatonin to children under the age of 13. About 30% gave their teenager melatonin to aid in sleep.Yet, there is little evidence that melatonin helps with insomnia in children, the AASM said. A natural hormone that helps regulate the body’s internal clock, melatonin may seem like a simple solution, the AASM said. Yet the organization noted important safety concerns. Parents should talk to a health care professional before giving melatonin or any supplement to children, the AASM advised. Melatonin...
Opposites May Not Attract After All, Study of Millions of Couples Finds
8 September 2023
FRIDAY, Sept. 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- There's an adage that in romantic relationships, opposites attract. Now, a large, new study confirms that just like many old sayings, it's wrong.In an analysis of about 200 studies involving millions of couples, researchers came to the conclusion that there is little behind the claim that opposites attract. If anything, the one about birds of feather flocking together is much closer to the truth.When it came to the hundreds of "traits" the study analyzed -- from political leanings to smoking and drinking habits -- partners were almost always more alike than different.It was only in relation to 3% of traits that people tended to pair off with someone who had different inclinations, according to the findings published recently in the journal...
