Spikes in Blood Pressure Bring Many Americans to the ER
TUESDAY, Sept. 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When it comes to why U.S. heart patients wind up in the emergency room, uncontrolled high blood pressure (or "hypertension") fuels about one-third of those medical crises.“These visits resulted in hospital admission less than 3% of the time and with very few deaths — less than 0.1%. This suggests that these visits were mostly related to the management of hypertension,†said study author Dr. Mamas A. Mamas. He is a professor of cardiology at Keele University in Stoke-on-Trent and a consultant cardiologist at University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust, both in the United Kingdom.The study, published online recently in the Journal of the American Heart Association, included data on 15 cardiovascular conditions, whereas previous...
AHA News: Genetics May Explain Rare Heart Inflammation...
26 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 26, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Gene abnormalities may make some people more susceptible to myocarditis, a rare type of heart inflammation that can affect young people and athletes, a large new study shows.The findings, published Monday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, could partially answer why otherwise healthy young people sometimes develop a condition that can lead to heart failure and sudden cardiac death, researchers said.In the rare instances when it happens, myocarditis "often affects young patients in the prime of life, and we've never understood why," said senior study author Dr. Sanjay Prasad, a professor of cardiomyopathy at the Imperial College London in the United Kingdom. He also is a consultant cardiologist at Royal...
Thousands of U.S. Kids Have Died Riding ATVs, Many More...
26 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Pediatric surgeon Dr. Rony Marwan has seen way too many kids who have been seriously injured in all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accidents."My kids are not allowed to ride in ATVs because of the horrific things I have seen," said Marwan, who works at University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia.Every hour, four kids go to U.S. emergency rooms for injuries sustained in an ATV accident, while more than 3,000 have been killed as a result of those accidents between 1982 and 2015, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).To help put a dent in those statistics and save lives, the AAP is stepping up efforts with a new report on ATV safety and a policy statement warning parents about the inherent dangers of ATVs.Introduced in the mid-1970s,...
Big Drop Seen in Drug Treatment Admissions During Pandemic
26 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) – Admissions to drug treatment programs declined sharply during the pandemic's first year, likely explaining a later surge in fatal overdoses.Among people of color, admissions dropped nearly 25%, a RAND Corp. study found.This is one possible reason for the recent surge in drug overdose deaths, according to the nonprofit research organization.“These declines in the number of Americans receiving treatment are especially noteworthy given evidence of increases in substance use disorder and overdose death rates during the same time period,†said study author Jonathan Cantor, a policy researcher at RAND.For the study, his team looked at admissions for substance use disorder treatment between 2017 and 2019, the years just before the pandemic, and...
Study Points to Jobs With Highest Risk for ALS
26 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- People who work in manufacturing, welding and chemical operations and are exposed to hazardous chemicals may face a higher risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a new study found."This study shows that certain occupational settings and exposures increase one’s chances of developing ALS," said first author Dr. Stephen Goutman. He's director of the Pranger ALS Clinic and associate director of the ALS Center of Excellence at University of Michigan.Pesticides and carcinogenic compounds have been found at elevated levels in the blood of patients with ALS, the rare and deadly condition also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. To study whether that had an impact on the development of ALS, researchers surveyed 381 patients with ALS and...
Gut Microbiome Could Play Role in MS
26 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists have been looking to the microbiome, and its numerous gut bacteria, as an area of research with plenty of potential for finding connections to various diseases.Now, scientists have found evidence of significant differences between the gut bacteria of individuals who have multiple sclerosis (MS) and those of healthy patients in the same households. Most of these changes are being reported for the first time, according to researchers from the consortium of scientists participating in the International Multiple Sclerosis Microbiome Study (IMSMS). They found novel mechanisms by which these bacteria may potentially influence disease development and treatment response.“This is the reference study that will be used by the field for years...
Reusing Contact Lenses Raises Odds for Rare Eye Infection
25 September 2022
SUNDAY, Sept. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Although wearing reusable contact lenses is generally safe, it can be associated with a greater risk of a rare eye infection, new British research shows. In the study, people who wore reusable contact lenses were nearly four times more likely to develop the infection called Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) than those who wore daily disposable lenses. Risks increased for those wearing them overnight or leaving them in while in the shower. "In recent years, we have seen an increase of Acanthamoeba keratitis in the [United Kingdom] and Europe, and while the infection is still rare, it is preventable and warrants a public health response," said lead author Dr. John Dart, of University College London's (UCL) Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Eye...
Talking to a Loved One About a Move to Assisted Living
24 September 2022
SATURDAY, Sept. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- It can be hard to talk to your loved ones about moving into assisted living, so don't push them too hard and make sure they feel safe and comfortable with the idea, one expert advises."Start the conversation as early as possible, and focus on what matters,†said Dr. Angela Catic. She's a geriatrician and associate professor in the Roy M. and Phyllis Gough Huffington Center on Aging at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. "Think about if an assisted living environment could not just support, but enrich things that really bring joy to that individual's life," Catic said in a college news release.As people age, it gets harder to take care of a house and yard. Adult children often start talking about assisted living when they see their...
