AHA News: The Benefits of Adding a Drizzle of Olive Oil to Your Diet
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 28, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- The ancient Greeks were on to something when they referred to olive oil as an "elixir of youth and health." Centuries later, research offers evidence about the benefits of olive oil in our daily diets.Consuming more than half a tablespoon of olive oil a day may lower heart disease risk, a 2020 study found. And earlier this year, researchers reported in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology that people who ate more than half a tablespoon per day had lower rates of premature death from cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease and other causes compared to people who never or rarely consumed olive oil."Olive oil is the hallmark of the Mediterranean diet, and its link to lower mortality is well established in...
New Alzheimer's Drug Shows Promise in Phase 3 Clinical Trial
28 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 28, 2022 (HealthDay) -- Japanese drugmaker Eisai on Wednesday said its experimental drug lecanemab helped slow thinking declines among people in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. The findings from a phase 3 clinical trial have yet to be peer-reviewed in any medical journal. But according to a company news release, "lecanemab treatment met the primary endpoint and reduced clinical decline on the global cognitive and functional scale, CDR-SB, compared with placebo at 18 months, by 27%."Given the largely disappointing rollout of Biogen's Alzheimer's drug, Aduhelm, last year, any drug which appears to help Alzheimer's patients is welcome. But expert reaction to the Eisai announcement was mixed.In a statement, Dr. Joanne Pike, president of the Alzheimer's...
'Breakthrough' Infections After COVID Vaccine Can Help...
28 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- It's very frustrating to get a COVID-19 vaccine and then wind up catching the virus anyway.But these breakthrough infections actually do you a world of good, providing a powerful boost to your existing vaccine-induced immune protection, a new study reports.People infected after getting a basic two-dose COVID vaccination experienced an immune response equal in power and effectiveness to receiving a third booster, researchers reported recently in the journal Med.This boost is particularly potent for older folks, whose waning immune systems tend to produce shorter-lasting responses to the COVID vaccine, said Dr. Marcel Curlin. He's an associate professor of infectious diseases at Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine (OHSU) in...
Does Forced Cheerfulness at Work Lead to Burnout?
28 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Getting up on the wrong side of bed can happen to the best of folks. Not everyone greets every morning with a sunny disposition and big smile.But when a bad mood overlaps with work, many people feel pressured to just snap out of it and "get happy."New research suggests that forcing that sort of an emotional adjustment on the job can take a toll, sapping a worker's energy, and over time, increasing the risk of burnout."There's been quite a bit of research on emotions at work, but the majority returns the same conclusion that 'being in a good mood is good and, if you're not in one, you should try to get in one,'" said Emma Frank, an assistant professor of management at the University of New Hampshire. She led the study during her doctoral...
Study Probes Links Between Vaccines and Asthma in Kids, With Inconclusive Results
28 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Aluminum in childhood vaccines has long been the cause of speculation about a potential link to allergies and asthma, but a new study designed to figure out whether there might be a connection did not come to a definitive conclusion.While the federally funded study found a possible link, experts noted the research has important shortcomings.And the lifesaving benefits of vaccines are still likely to outweigh the asthma risk, even if researchers confirm a link later, lead study author Dr. Matthew Daley, an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, in Aurora, told the Associated Press. Some health experts expressed concern that the research might needlessly scare parents.Among the issues were that the...
Rise in Cases of Kids Infected With Virus Linked to Paralyzing Illness
28 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) – Cases of a virus that strikes children and teens and can trigger paralysis in rare cases have been increasing in the United States and could continue to do so this fall, health officials warned Tuesday. Increases of enterovirus D68 (EV-D68), happen about every couple years. The outbreaks tend to peak in late summer and early fall. This summer, U.S. health officials noted an increase in acute respiratory illnesses and emergency department visits due to rhinovirus and enterovirus.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Tuesday that doctors should prepare for further increases in the number of young patients with EV-D68. Positive test results for rhinovirus/enterovirus “appears to be increasing at a rate comparable...
Medicare Monthly Premiums to Drop for Seniors
28 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) – Millions of seniors who had to pay high increases in Medicare premiums this year will get a break in 2023 when they see a rare drop in monthly premiums for Medicare Part B. The rate decrease is 3%, which will reduce what most people pay for a variety of outpatient care by $5.20 -- to $164.90 a month. Last year, consumers faced a $21.60 monthly increase, in part because of the costs of the new controversial Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm. Since then, Medicare set limits on the drug’s use and the drugmaker has cut the $56,000 price tag in half. That led to Medicare paying less than expected, the Associated Press reported. Spending on other Medicare and Medicaid services has also been lower than expected this year. In addition to the rate...
Sleep Experts Warn Against Giving Melatonin to Children
28 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Use of the over-the-counter sleep aid melatonin is increasing among young people, and calls to poison control centers and visits to the emergency room are also on the rise. This is mostly because young children and teens are accidentally ingesting more of the supplement than is safe, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In response, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) has issued an advisory urging parents to talk to a doctor before giving children melatonin or any other dietary supplement.“The availability of melatonin as gummies or chewable tablets makes it more tempting to give to children and more likely for them to overdose,†said Dr. Muhammad Adeel Rishi, a critical care specialist at Indiana...
