FDA Warns Against Overuse of TPOXX Monkeypox Drug
FRIDAY, Sept. 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. health officials are advising doctors not to overuse the only antiviral for monkeypox because there is a risk of the virus mutating and rendering the drug useless.TPOXX (tecovirimat) works by targeting just one protein found on monkeypox, as well as smallpox and similar viruses. Its use for monkeypox is still considered experimental, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.Even a single molecular change to the virus "could have a large impact on the antiviral activity of TPOXX," the FDA said in an online update."For most patients with intact immune systems, supportive care and pain control may be enough," the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement. Though TPOXX has been prescribed to tens of...
Seniors, This Daily Routine May Keep You Sharper, Happier
16 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Older adults who rise and shine early every day may have sharper minds and fewer depression symptoms, a new study suggests.The researchers found that U.S. adults aged 65 and older who typically got up early — before 7 a.m. — then stayed active throughout the day performed better on tests of memory and thinking than their peers with less "robust" daily routines. They were also less likely to have significant depression symptoms.The findings do not prove that an active lifestyle prevents mental decline or depression, experts said.But based on a body of research, it's likely the relationship goes both ways, said lead author Stephen Smagula. He is an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh.That is, older people who...
AHA News: Many Older Adults May Not Get the Intensive...
16 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 16, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Fewer than 30% of older adults who need more intensive treatment for high blood pressure actually get it, new research shows. And the problem may be worsening.Nearly half of U.S. adults – about 116 million people – have high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. When not properly controlled, it can lead to serious health problems, including heart attack, stroke and kidney disease."We haven't been doing well, despite robust evidence demonstrating the strong benefits of good blood pressure control in older adults," said Dr. Nicholas Chiu, the study's lead author and a clinical fellow at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. "This is a major public health gap that needs to be tackled."Common in older adults,...
Weight-Loss Surgery Has Long-Term Benefits for Pain,...
16 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Bariatric surgery aims to help severely obese patients shed significant weight, and now new research shows that many can also look forward to lasting pain relief and mobility.Though many patients regain some weight in the first couple of years after bariatric surgery, pain and movement benefits seem to stand the test of time. Seven years out, 43% of the roughly 1,500 patients enrolled in the study said their pain remained noticeably lower than before surgery, and nearly two-thirds said their physical functioning was still better."Previous studies had provided evidence that bariatric surgical procedures are associated with clinically important improvements in pain, physical function and work productivity; however, most studies only followed...
Experts Say New Street Drug Is ‘as Deadly as Fentanyl’
16 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Nitazenes: You've probably never heard of these highly toxic drugs, and neither have many Americans who abuse opioid street drugs.That lack of awareness could prove deadly, experts warn, because nitazenes are increasingly being added into heroin and street versions of opioid pills -- and triggering fatal overdoses."Laboratory test results indicate that the potency of certain nitazene analogs [e.g., isotonitazene, protonitazene, and etonitazene] greatly exceeds that of fentanyl, whereas the potency of the analog metonitazene is similar to fentanyl," explained a team of researchers from the Tennessee Department of Health.Deaths linked to drugs are on the rise. In their report issued Sept. 16, Jessica Korona-Bailey and colleagues said that "four...
Which Drugs Fight COVID Best? WHO Updates Treatment Guidelines
16 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- In updated guidance issued Thursday, the World Health Organization now recommends against using the antibody drugs sotrovimab and casirivimab-imdevimab for patients with COVID-19.This recommendation replaces previous conditional recommendation for these antibody drugs. The change in guidance was based on emerging evidence that the medications -- which work by binding to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, preventing the virus from infecting cells -- are not likely to work on the Omicron variants that are spreading now.In the United States, both antibody drugs are no longer recommended to treat COVID-19 because of emerging variants.The panel also made a conditional recommendation for using the antiviral drug remdesivir in patients with severe COVID,...
Tear in Heart's Aorta Often Deadly, Though Survival Improving
16 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A torn aorta can often be deadly, but a new study has found that survival has improved significantly over the past several decades.But it can still be five times more deadly if not repaired surgically, the researchers added.Aortic dissection happens when blood rushes through a tear in the heart's ascending aorta. This happens in about 3 of every 100,000 people. It mostly affects older men, who may experience a "knifelike, tearing pain through the back." About 50% of patients will die before they reach the hospital.In the study, researchers reviewed the cases of 5,600 patients from the International Registry for Acute Aortic Dissection between 1996 and 2018. Researchers found that about 5.8% of the patients died within two days of arriving at...
Hormonal Breast Cancer Therapy May Work Differently, Depending on Patient's Race
16 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- For women with breast cancer, their race may help predict the success of hormone therapy given before surgery. In a new study, researchers found that Black women treated with hormone therapy before cancer surgery (so-called "neoadjuvant endocrine therapy") may be more likely to benefit from that treatment than white women are if they’re treated at an earlier stage. But they may be less likely to benefit than white women if treated at a later stage of disease.“Our findings suggest that neoadjuvant endocrine therapy alone may not be the best approach in Black women who present with more advanced tumors,†said Dr. Veronica Jones, an assistant professor in the division of breast surgery at City of Hope in Duarte, Calif.The research is being...
