Knee Trouble? Losing Weight May Help Slow Arthritis
FRIDAY, Sept. 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Losing excess weight may not only help prevent knee arthritis, but also slow its progression in people who already have the condition, a recent study suggests.Researchers found that among over 9,000 middle-aged and older adults, those who managed to shed some extra weight benefited their knees in two ways: They were less likely to develop knee arthritis over the next several years; and if they already had knee arthritis, the joint damage progressed more slowly.It has long been known that excess pounds are a risk factor for developing knee arthritis. And when people with the condition are overweight or obese, they are encouraged to lose weight to help ease their pain.Experts said the new findings suggest that weight loss may not only curb pain,...
4.4 Million Americans Have Gotten Updated COVID Boosters
23 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- At least 4.4 million Americans have received the updated COVID-19 booster shot.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted the count Thursday as public health experts decried President Joe Biden's televised claim that "the pandemic is over."The White House estimates that more than 5 million people have actually received the reformulated booster, accounting for lags in state reporting, according to the Associated Press.Public health officials expect demand for the new booster to surge in the next few weeks."We've been thinking and talking about this as an annual vaccine like the flu vaccine," said White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha. "Flu vaccine season picks up in late September and early October. We're just getting...
Not Just Obesity: Everyone May Have a 'Fat Threshold'...
23 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- If you are one of the millions of people with type 2 diabetes, losing weight can help reverse the blood sugar disease even if you aren’t overweight or obese, new research reveals.Here's the proof: 70% of people with type 2 diabetes who were a normal weight during the study went into remission after they lost roughly 10% of their body weight.Type 2 diabetes is the form of the disease most closely tied to obesity, yet around 15% of patients aren't overweight or obese. They may, however, be pushing their personal "fat threshold."“Everyone has a level at which they can no longer store fat safely inside the body — that is determined by genes,†said study author Dr. Roy Taylor, a professor of medicine and metabolism at Newcastle University...
America's ER Docs Alarmed by Rising Violence From Patients
23 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The stories grabbed headlines during the pandemic: Violent episodes in U.S. emergency rooms where patients attacked doctors.Now, a new poll shows just how widespread the problem has become: Two-thirds of emergency physicians reported being assaulted in the past year alone, while more than one-third of respondents said they have been assaulted more than once. Even worse, about 80% of emergency physicians reported an increasing rate of violence, with 45% saying it had “greatly increased†over the past five years. “Violence in the emergency department continues to threaten and harm emergency physicians and patients,†said Dr. Chris Kang, president-elect of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), which conducted the poll....
AHA News: How to Keep 'Vaccine Fatigue' From Getting in the Way of a Flu Shot
23 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 23, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- After nearly three years of nearly nonstop talking about viruses and vaccinations, some people might be ready to tune out.That would be a mistake, health experts say.Amid warning signs of a potentially severe flu season ahead, those experts worry "vaccine fatigue" will keep people from getting their flu shot – and with it, a simple, safe way to protect themselves from life-threatening conditions, including heart attacks and strokes.Australia, where winter is wrapping up, often serves as a crystal ball for influenza in the United States, and the signs are not good, said Dr. Martha Gulati, director of cardiovascular disease prevention in the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles."The Southern Hemisphere had a...
Blood Clot Risk Remains Higher Almost a Year After COVID
23 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- An increased risk of blood clots persists for close to a year after a COVID-19 infection, a large study shows. The health records of 48 million unvaccinated adults in the United Kingdom suggest that the pandemic's first wave in 2020 may have led to an additional 10,500 cases of heart attack, stroke and other blood clot complications such as deep vein thrombosis, in England and Wales alone. The risk of blood clots continues for at least 49 weeks after infection, the study found."We have shown that even people who were not hospitalized faced a higher risk of blood clots in the first wave," said study co-leader Angela Wood, associate director of the British Heart Foundation Data Science Centre."While the risk to individuals remains small, the...
Hints That Experimental Drug Might Curb a Form of ALS
23 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- People with a rare genetic form of ALS may benefit from extended use of an investigational drug, a new study shows.The medication, tofersen, benefited patients with mutations of the gene SOD1. These mutations create a misfolded version of a protein, which leads to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.In a phase 3 clinical trial, tofersen reduced molecular signs of the disease and curbed neurodegeneration, the decline and loss of nerve cell function. It did not improve movement and muscle strength at six months. But longer-term use may help stabilize muscle strength and control, the study showed.Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis called that result encouraging."This is an exciting...
Vision Damage May Begin Long Before Type 2 Diabetes Is Diagnosed
23 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Nerve damage is a common side effect of type 2 diabetes and it might start in the eyes long before the condition is ever diagnosed, new research suggests. In this study, scientists used neuropathy, or nerve damage, in the eye’s cornea as a proxy for the damage to nerves throughout the body.The study included nearly 3,500 people — 21% with type 2 diabetes, 15% with prediabetes and 64% with neither condition — and the investigators looked at the corneal nerves in all three groups.The researchers found that the amount of damage to the corneal nerves rose in tandem with the amount of impairment to glucose metabolism.People with prediabetes had corneal nerve damage that was 8% higher than those with no diabetes. Meanwhile, those with diabetes...
