FDA Warns of Cybersecurity Risk With Certain Medtronic Insulin Pumps
TUESDAY, Sept. 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning patients who use a particular insulin pump system that unauthorized people could access it and change how much insulin a patient receives.The pump at the center of the FDA alert is the Medtronic MiniMed 600 Series Insulin Pump System, including models such as MiniMed 630G and MiniMed 670G.Components such as the insulin pump, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) transmitter, blood glucose meter and CareLink USB device communicate wirelessly, the FDA noted. An equipment issue may allow someone to break in and cause the pump to deliver too much or too little insulin to the patient.For this cybersecurity breach to happen, an unauthorized person nearby would need to gain access to a pump as it is...
Take Care When Handling, Storing Your Contact Lenses
20 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Contact lenses can be indispensable for those with poor vision, but if they aren't properly cleaned and stored you run the risk of serious eye infections, experts say.Up to one out of every 500 contact lens wearers get such infections every year, which can sometimes lead to permanent blindness. Even minor infections caused by contamination are painful and disrupt daily life, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology.Regardless of whether contact lenses are worn to correct vision issues or just for special occasions, all contact lenses are considered medical devices by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and need to be accompanied by a valid prescription, the academy noted in a news release.What kinds of eye problems can contact...
AHA News: College Softball Player's Heart Stops After...
20 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 20, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- In her second game of the day, Fordham University shortstop Sarah Taffet hit a ground ball to first base. The fielder charged forward, stopped the ball and kept going to tag out Sarah. It turned into a small collision, with Sarah getting knocked to the ground."It kind of knocked the wind out of me a little bit, but I've been tagged harder before," Sarah said. "It wasn't a dirty play."The 21-year-old picked herself up, began jogging toward the dugout, then started to feel weird.She realized her eyelids were closing. She knew she was falling. She wanted to scream but knew she couldn't."Why can't I speak?" she thought. "Why can't I breathe?"Watching from the dugout, Bridget Ward could tell by Sarah's face something wasn't right....
'Life Changing': New Drug Eases Severe Eczema in Young Kids
20 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Sonia Dhaliwal knows exactly how bad childhood eczema can get.That’s because her young daughter, Ariah Nihal Khan, has struggled with a severe case of the skin condition ever since she was a baby.Ariah's symptoms were relentless and debilitating until the age of 3. They included rashes, skin discolorations all across her face, eyelids, hands and knees, and itching so bad that "she would literally wake up screaming and crying with blood spots from scratching," Dhaliwal said. "She was losing sleep. She wasn't eating well. She was cranky," her mom said. "And it had a big effect on her mood and personality.""Meanwhile, her pediatrician recommended lotions at first, and then prescription medicines," the Illinois resident noted. "A lot of them. I...
In Canada, Program That Supplies Safe Opioids to Addicts Is Saving Lives
20 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As opioid overdose deaths continue to soar, a Canadian program points to one way to save lives: providing "safer" opioids to people at high risk of overdose.That's the conclusion of a study evaluating Canada's first formal "safer opioid supply," or SOS, program. Such programs aim to prevent overdoses by giving vulnerable people an alternative to the increasingly dangerous street supply of opioids. In this case, the London, Ontario-based program provided clients with a daily dose of prescription opioid tablets, as well as basic health care, counseling and social services.The result was a rapid drop in emergency department trips and hospitalizations among the 82 clients studied, the researchers found. And over six years, there was not a single...
Have Sleep Apnea & Heart Disease? CPAP May Keep You Out of the Hospital
20 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- People with heart disease should be screened for sleep apnea, the authors of a new study suggest. They found that consistent use of a CPAP machine lowered the chances of winding up back in the hospital for heart issues."Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of older adults in the world," said study author Jennifer Albrecht, an associate professor of epidemiology and public health at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. "Older adults with co-morbid cardiovascular disease and obstructive sleep apnea are a vulnerable population at high risk for hospital readmission," Albrecht said. "Our data show that successful treatment of obstructive sleep apnea can greatly reduce the risk of 30-day hospital readmission."Sleep apnea is found in...

TUESDAY, Sept. 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) – Soaring numbers of sexually transmitted disease (STD) cases have prompted U.S. public health experts to call for more prevention and treatment.

How to Spot -- Or Prevent -- Dangerous Aortic Dissection
20 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Sudden severe chest or upper back pain are possible signs of an aortic dissection. Your first thought might be "heart attack" but an aortic dissection is very different. Vascular and cardiac surgeons are well aware of the dangers associated with an aortic dissection, a tear in the main artery of the heart. "The [death] rate for an aortic dissection is about 1% an hour for the first 48 hours, making every second count," said Dr. Ali Azizzadeh, director of vascular surgery at Cedars-Sinai Smidt Heart Institute in Los Angeles. "Equally as important is seeking care, whenever possible, at a medical center with specialized, comprehensive services in treating aortic dissections."Even some physicians and nurses frequently mistake an aortic...
