Too Often, Victims of Sexual Assault Face High Medical Bills
THURSDAY, Sept. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Some survivors of sexual assault may face a further trauma after seeking medical care: a huge emergency room bill.That's the finding of a new study that analyzed U.S. emergency department charges for care related to sexual assault. Researchers found that survivors without health insurance could end up with thousands of dollars in medical bills.In 2019, the study found, the average ER charge for care related to sexual assault topped $3,500. Survivors without health insurance could be expected to foot that entire bill, the researchers said. Even those who are insured could still face high out-of-pocket costs."This can be re-traumatizing for many survivors," said lead researcher Dr. Samuel Dickman, a physician with Planned Parenthood of...
Sugary Drinks Could Raise Your Odds for Fatal Cancers: Study
15 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- New research offers yet another reason why Americans should cut back on their soda consumption: Drinking too many sugary beverages may increase the risk of death from cancer."Unfortunately, Americans exceed recommended limits on sugar consumption by the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, and sugar-sweetened beverages are known risk factors for weight gain, being overweight and obesity," explained lead study author Marjorie McCullough. She is senior scientific director of epidemiology research at the American Cancer Society.The results appear to be related to the higher body mass index (BMI) of the participants who regularly drank these sugar-sweetened beverages, according to the study.Researchers used data from a cancer prevention study, searching for...
In Small Study, CAR-T Therapy Pushes Lupus Into Remission
15 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While there’s no cure for lupus and treatments don’t work for many of the 1.5 million people who live with the disease in the United States, a new study shows a cancer therapy may kick hard-to-treat lupus into remission.Lupus is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the body’s immune system engages in friendly fire against its own skin, joints, bones, kidneys and heart, triggering a host of symptoms.Enter CAR-T therapy.Used to treat certain types of cancer, the therapy takes your body's own T-cells, trains them in the lab to recognize very specific cells, and then infuses them back into the body to do their job. In lupus, the therapy targets CD19, a protein on B cells.The small study included five people with severe lupus involving...
COVID Home Test Kits Less Effective With Omicron...
15 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Rapid at-home COVID tests have become less reliable with the emergence of the Omicron variant, new research suggests.Only one of three widely used rapid antigen tests met World Health Organization (WHO) standards for accuracy, Dutch researchers report.For the study -- published Sept. 14 in The BMJ -- they tested nearly 6,500 people with COVID symptoms who visited one of three test sites in the Netherlands between late December and early February.All participants underwent a PCR test at the testing site. PCR tests are analyzed in a lab and look for genetic material from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, making them the gold standard for COVID testing.Patients were then asked to take a rapid antigen test at home within three hours of their test site...
New Treatment Approach Boosts Odds Against 2 Types of Skin Cancer
15 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Skin cancer patients appear to fare better if they receive immunotherapy before their cancers are surgically removed, a pair of clinical trials show.In fact, some do so well that their immune system essentially dissolves their tumors, potentially removing the need for surgery, researchers said.About half of skin cancer patients who received the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab (Libtayo) had a complete response to the medication, meaning doctors could find no cancer cells left at the tumor site following the advance treatment, according to one of the clinical trials.Additionally, two patients were able to keep an eye because advance immunotherapy reduced the tumor size and allowed for less extensive surgery, said lead researcher Dr. Neil Gross,...
AHA News: Dad's Stroke at 49 Inspired Daughters to Help Patients
15 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 15, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- One Sunday morning at church, Alejandra Rosales Murillo and her four sisters were sitting with their parents when one of the girls noticed their father's face was drooping.She whispered the news to their mom, Maria Rosales Murillo. She leaned toward her husband, Jose Rosales Campos, and asked if something was wrong."It's probably Bell's palsy again," he said. A year earlier, he'd had a short bout with the condition, which can cause temporary facial weakness.As the information was whispered to each member of the family, the commotion caught the attention of a guest preacher. He stopped his sermon to ask if everything was OK. Jose nodded yes. The preacher then led the congregation in a prayer for Jose and cut the service...
WHO Says Pandemic's End May Be Near
15 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) – The end of the COVID-19 pandemic is in sight, the leader of the World Health Organization declared Wednesday, with deaths at their lowest level worldwide since the new coronavirus first began to spread in March 2020.However, the death rate is relatively flat and not yet at their lowest level in the United States, experts note. About 11,000 people around the world died from COVID during the week of Sept. 5 through Sept. 11. That was a drop of 22% from the previous week, the WHO reported. Weekly case numbers also fell the previous week, by 28%, to about 3.1 million. "We have never been in a better position to end the pandemic," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a Wednesday briefing. "We are not there yet, but the end...
In Boxers and MMA Fighters, Brain May Make Some Recovery After Retirement
15 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Professional fighters take a lot of knocks to the head, but a new study suggests they may find themselves thinking more clearly again after they retire.Many studies have pointed to the perils of repeated blows to the head in sports like boxing and football. Repetitive head impacts, as researchers call them, can damage the brain and eventually cause problems ranging from dimmed memory and concentration to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).CTE is an incurable, progressive form of brain degeneration that can cause memory loss, confusion, and mood and behavioral problems like depression, anxiety and aggression. It was first described a century ago in boxers, when it was dubbed "punch drunk syndrome."These days, it's recognized that...
