AHA News: Move Around a Lot While You Sleep? It Might Be Bad News For Your Heart
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 21, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Poor sleep quality – including moving around too much or having sleep apnea – may increase the risk for a future heart problem, new research suggests.That problem is called left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, a precursor to heart failure. But not getting enough sleep did not appear to increase that risk, according to a study published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Heart Association.Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) – a type of heart failure that occurs when the left side of the heart muscle stiffens and can't properly pump blood to the rest of the body – makes up 60% of the 37 million cases of heart failure worldwide. "But there is no established method to prevent it," said lead...
Depression, PTSD Plague Flint Residents 5 Years After...
21 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- An unprecedented water crisis continues to take a heavy toll on the mental health of adults in Flint, Michigan, a large survey shows.Five years after the crisis, an estimated one in five — about 13,600 people — remained clinically depressed, the survey found. And about one in four — 15,000 people — had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). “The mental health burden of America’s largest public-works environmental disaster clearly continues for many adults in Flint,†said study leader Aaron Reuben, a postdoctoral scholar at Duke University in Durham, N.C.His team found that past-year rates of depression and PTSD were three to five times higher than estimates for U.S. adults overall.The researchers said the people of Flint...
U.S. Teens' Drinking, Smoking Declines While Vaping &...
21 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Fewer U.S. teenagers are drinking and smoking these days, but marijuana and vaping have gained in popularity — particularly among kids with lots of unsupervised free time.Those are among the findings of a new study tracking substance use trends among American teens over the past 30 years.The researchers found that while substance use has generally declined over time, there were two notable exceptions: marijuana use, which has been inching up for many years; and vaping of nicotine and marijuana, which has surged in the past several years.The vaping trend is especially striking, said lead researcher Noah Kreski, of Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, in New York City."It soared in just three years," Kreski said.Between...
HIV & Hepatitis Can Be Deadly Combo for the Heart
21 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As people with HIV age, their odds for heart attack rise -- and those with untreated hepatitis C have an even higher risk, a new study finds."HIV and hepatitis C co-infection occurs because they share a transmission route -- both viruses may be transmitted through blood-to-blood contact," said senior author Keri Althoff, an associate professor of epidemiology at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. "Due in part to the inflammation from the chronic immune activation of two viral infections, we hypothesized that people with HIV and hepatitis C would have a higher risk of heart attack as they aged compared to those with HIV alone," Althoff said in a news release from the Journal of the American Heart Association, where...
Smoggy Days Could Help Send Kids With Autism to the ER
21 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Could air pollution land children with autism in the hospital?A new study found that short-term exposure to air pollution is linked to a higher risk for hospitalization among kids with the developmental disorder.People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often admitted due to such symptoms as hyperactivity, aggression and self-injury. While neuro-inflammation and systemic inflammation can be improved through medications, diet and supplements, short-term exposure to air pollution may exacerbate those symptoms, the study from Korea found.A child's developing nervous system is also more susceptible to environmental exposures than an adult's nervous system, the scientists noted."This study suggests that short-term exposure to air pollution...
Back to School: Keeping Kids Safe From Dangerous Food Allergies
21 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The back-to-school season may bring on stress for parents of children who live with food allergies. Parents can help reduce fear and anxiety by following some safety tips from the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. School districts may have different policies for how to keep school safe for kids who have allergies. If you're a parent of one of the nearly 3 million kids who have allergies, meet with your child's teacher and school nurse to explain your child's food triggers. If needed, you can give cafeteria workers a picture of your child and request allergy-free lunches.Get a note from your child's doctor that lets your child keep emergency allergy medication at school. It's not just lunch to be concerned about -- you also...
Task Force Recommends Anxiety Screening for All Adults Under 65
20 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- In what amounts to a public acknowledgement that anxiety disorders have run rampant during the pandemic, an influential expert panel is recommending for the first time that all American adults under the age of 65 be screened for the condition.“COVID has taken a tremendous toll on the mental health of Americans,†panel member Lori Pbert, a clinical psychologist and professor at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, told the Washington Post. “This is a topic prioritized for its public health importance, but clearly there’s an increased focus on mental health in this country over the past few years.†A similar recommendation was issued for those aged 8 to 18 in April by the same group, the U.S. Preventive Services Task...
Deer Are Spreading Lyme Ticks in Suburban Backyards
20 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- They look so cute, grazing quietly in your backyard. But the overpopulation of white-tailed deer across the Northeastern United States could help spread Lyme disease and another tick-borne illness, anaplasmosis, especially in suburban areas, a new study suggests.The research points out that these deer, which carry ticks that transmit the two diseases, are no longer confined to wooded areas, but often live within yards of suburban homes, increasing the risk of transmission."Your yard is their home, and if you're concerned about ticks or tick management, or potentially damage done, then you need to recognize that this is where they actually choose to live and either work with them or manage against them," said lead researcher Jennifer Mullinax....
