Big Studies Test Effectiveness of Common Diabetes Meds
THURSDAY, Sept. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Two common diabetes medications seem to outperform two others when it comes to controlling blood sugar levels, a large U.S. trial has found.The trial of more than 5,000 people with type 2 diabetes found that two injection medications -- a long-acting insulin and liraglutide (Victoza) -- typically worked better than two oral drugs in keeping blood sugar levels in check.Over five years, patients taking either injection treatment spent more time with their blood sugar in the recommended range -- an average of six extra months.Still, most study patients were unable to meet that goal for the long haul. Experts said it underscores how difficult that task is for people with diabetes."Ultimately, the treatment combinations did not maintain optimal...
Deep Brain Stimulation Offers Hope Against Severe OCD
22 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When traditional treatments fail to help patients with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), an implant that zaps the brain with electrical pulses just might, a new research review shows.It found that the remedy — known as "deep brain stimulation," or DBS — can offer significant relief to as many as two-thirds of such patients. On average, it can reduce OCD-triggered symptoms by nearly half, the review found."[OCD involves] intrusive and bothersome thoughts that the individual cannot silence, and compulsions that are repetitive, ritualistic behaviors performed to reduce the anxiety produced by the compulsions,†said study author Dr. Sameer Sheth. He is an associate professor of neurosurgery at Baylor College of Medicine in...
Lots of Nightmares in Middle Age Might Be Warning Sign...
22 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- No one likes nightmares, but having persistently bad dreams may also signal impending dementia, new British research suggests.In the study, people aged 35 to 64 who had bad dreams weekly were four times more likely to have cognitive decline over the following 10 years, and older people were twice as likely to develop dementia, said Dr. Abidemi Otaiku. He is a clinical fellow in neurology at the University of Birmingham's Centre for Human Brain Health, in the United Kingdom. "It is currently very difficult to determine who will develop dementia, especially during middle age. Therefore, discovering that nightmares in middle-aged and older adults might be linked to increased dementia risk could help contribute towards early identification,"...
AHA News: Waiting For Takeoff, Her Heart Stopped. Flight...
22 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 22, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Vonnie Gaither hated leaving a reunion of extended family in Baltimore. Still, she had to tear herself away to start the trek back home to Anchorage, Alaska.Her flight from Baltimore to Salt Lake City was uneventful. After boarding the plane bound for Anchorage, she buckled up and called a friend to let her know she was on her way.She then slumped over. A pair of flight attendants walking down the aisle to check that passengers were wearing their seat belts found her. She was unresponsive and didn't have a pulse.One attendant, James "Hutch" Hutchison, performed CPR. Another went to retrieve an automated external defibrillator. The AED sends an electric pulse or shock to the heart to restore a normal heart rhythm.A jolt on...
A Honey of a Study: Well-Fed Bears Give Clues to Human Diabetes
22 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Every year, hibernating bears are able to feast, pack on a huge amount of weight and then lie around for months -- all without suffering the health consequence of diabetes. Now researchers are closer to understanding their secret.Scientists with the Washington State University Bear Center say they've zeroed in on eight proteins that appear key to keeping hibernating grizzlies diabetes-proof.Those eight proteins also have human counterparts -- which means the findings could eventually lead to a better understanding of diabetes in people, and possibly new medications, experts said.Type 2 diabetes, by far the most common form of the disease, occurs when the body can no longer use the hormone insulin properly. Insulin helps move the sugars from...
A Hotter World Can Worsen Heart Failure
22 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Climate change could spell trouble for those with heart failure, a new study suggests.When the temperatures soared in France during the summer of 2019, the heat wave appears to have worsened the conditions of heart failure patients, researchers report."The finding is timely, given the heat waves again this year," said study author Dr. François Roubille, head of the intensive care unit at Montpellier University Hospital in France. The study, published Sept. 22 in ESC Heart Failure, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology, found that warmer temps were associated with weight loss, which worsens heart failure."The weight loss we observed in people with heart failure may lead to low blood pressure, especially when standing up, and renal...
Scientists Engineer Mosquitoes That Can't Transmit Malaria
22 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) – The fight against malaria could hinge on genetically engineered mosquitoes that have something called "gene drive."Researchers from the Transmission: Zero team at Imperial College London report that they have engineered mosquitoes that slow the growth in their gut of the parasites that cause malaria. This delay would mean the mosquito would reach its natural life span before the parasite would reach the mosquitoes' salivary glands. So a bite wouldn't spread the disease.In the lab, this dramatically reduced the spread of malaria. "Since 2015, the progress in tackling malaria has stalled. Mosquitoes and the parasites they carry are becoming resistant to available interventions such as insecticides and treatments, and funding has plateaued. We...
Already Taking a Blood Thinner? Adding Aspirin May Do Harm
21 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- For many years, doctors have advised taking low-dose aspirin to help prevent first-time heart attacks and stroke. But increasingly, they're doing an about-face.The latest warnings come from University of Michigan researchers who reported that patients simultaneously taking another blood thinner, warfarin, along with aspirin are more likely to have bleeding problems. The research team found the risk of a bleeding event dropped by almost one-third when aspirin use was reduced in this group. Aspirin is not a panacea drug as it was once thought to be, said Dr. Geoffrey Barnes, study co-author and cardiologist at the university's Cardiovascular Center."We said, ‘Let's see if we can identify the patients who we don't need to be on aspirin...
