Global Warming Could Make Pregnancies More Dangerous
FRIDAY, Sept. 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Global warming has been linked to higher rates of asthma, heart disease and other health concerns. Now, new research suggests that rising temperatures across the planet may place pregnant women at greater risk for severe pregnancy-related illnesses, especially in their third trimester.And this is likely to get worse in the near future, said study author Anqi Jiao, a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Irvine. “Climate change will continue to impact all facets of health with increasing severity and duration of extreme heat events,†she noted.Severe maternal illness is an umbrella term for 21 serious conditions that can include heart attacks, kidney failure, sudden cardiac arrest, heart failure, anesthesia complications, blood...
Combo of Certain Birth Control Pills, Painkillers Could...
8 September 2023
FRIDAY, Sept. 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It's well known that certain forms of birth control carry a small risk of blood clots. Now a large new study suggests that some common painkillers can magnify that risk.The study, of 2 million Danish women, found what numerous others have before: Women who used birth control pills or other estrogen-containing contraceptives had a heightened risk of developing a blood clot in the legs or lungs.But researchers found an additional layer. The risk of a blood clot was further increased during weeks when those women also used a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID -- including such common painkillers as ibuprofen and naproxen.Experts stressed that for any one woman, the risk of a blood clot is very low.Dr. Colleen Denny, director of family...
Company Reaches $479 Million Settlement Over Defects in...
8 September 2023
FRIDAY, Sept. 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Philips Respironics has agreed to a partial $479 million settlement to users of CPAP machines that blew gases and flecks of foam into their mouths and lungs.Class action lawsuits against the company are ongoing, the New York Times reported. This agreement is only for monetary reimbursements to device users and vendors who paid for replacement machines. It does not have a cap, which will allow other device users to apply for compensation, the Times reported. The federal court must still approve the settlement, and Philips did not admit wrongdoing or liability, the Times reported.“We are confident in these claims and we look forward to holding Philips accountable for the physical harms they caused patients,†the plaintiffs’ lawyers said in...
Is It Eczema or Psoriasis? An Expert Offers Advice
8 September 2023
FRIDAY, Sept. 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Eczema and psoriasis are skin conditions that can each affect a person’s quality of life.The best way to know which one you have if you have an itchy rash or burning feeling on your skin is to see an expert.“Both eczema and psoriasis can impact your sleep, mood and quality of life, so it’s important to seek help if you are struggling with these conditions,†said Dr. Catherine Emerson, a dermatologist at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.Understanding the differences between psoriasis and eczema can ensure that you’re getting the right treatment and making choices that can help you avoid flare-ups.Both conditions can appear as dry, flaky skin with itching or burning.Both can emerge at any age, through eczema usually begins in...
Keeping Blood Pressure Under Control May Be Tougher in Colder Weather
8 September 2023
FRIDAY, Sept. 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Winter months can be a challenge for those trying to keep their high blood pressure in check, new research suggests.In an analysis of more than 60,000 American adults being treated for high blood pressure at six health care centers in the Southeast and Midwest United States, scientists found that systolic blood pressure -- the top number -- rose slightly in winter months, by up to 1.7 mm Hg. Meanwhile, population blood pressure control rates decreased by 5% in the winter compared to control rates from the summer.These findings were presented Thursday at the American Heart Association’s Hypertension Scientific Sessions 2023. “Despite the smaller degree of systolic blood pressure variation in comparison to previous studies on seasonality in...
Some With Glaucoma May Not Even Know They Have It
8 September 2023
FRIDAY, Sept. 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- New Swedish research suggests that up to 5% of 70-year-olds have glaucoma, and half of those diagnosed didn't even know they had the disease. “Of those who were diagnosed with glaucoma via the study, 15 people -- or 2.7% of all participants -- were unaware that they had the disease before being examined,†said study author Lena Havstam Johansson, a PhD student at the University of Gothenburg and a specialist nurse at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, both in Gothenburg, Sweden. “So half of those who turned out to have glaucoma were diagnosed because they took part in the study.†Those who received this diagnosis were able to start treatment with daily eye drops that lower the pressure in the eye and slow optic nerve damage.Researchers...
Anti-Vax Trend May Harm Pet Dogs, With Half of Owners Against Immunization
7 September 2023
THURSDAY, Sept. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Some people mistrust the safety and effectiveness of human vaccines for COVID-19 and other diseases, a fact that became abundantly clear during the pandemic. Now, a new survey of 2,200 dog owners shows this mistrust may often extend to canine vaccinations.The finding suggests there is spillover between the issues, with those who have negative feelings about human vaccines more likely to hold these same views about vaccinating their pets, even when it comes to deadly conditions like rabies. “We knew that this phenomenon existed, but we didn't know how prevalent it was. We didn't know where it came from and what policy and public health implications might be, and that's why we set out to do this research,†said Matt Motta, an assistant...
Why Football Players Want a Lower Number on Their Jerseys
7 September 2023
THURSDAY, Sept. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- “Vain†isn’t a word normally associated with football players, but many wide receivers believe they look slim and fleet-footed with a lower number on their jersey rather than a higher one.New research shows these players are onto something.In two experiments, subjects shown images of players consistently said that those wearing jerseys numbered 10 to 19 looked thinner than those in jerseys 80 to 89 -- even when their body sizes were the same, according to a new report in the journal PLOS ONE.Researchers say this is because the way we perceive numbers appears to influence our perceptions of body sizes.“How we perceive the world is highly influenced by our prior knowledge,†said senior researcher Ladan Shams, a professor of psychology...
