Men Exposed to Cigarette Smoke in Childhood More Likely to Have Asthmatic Kids
THURSDAY, Sept. 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) – Smoking around your child is unhealthy, but it could also harm your future grandchildren, a new study finds. Children are more likely to develop asthma if their father was exposed to secondhand smoke as a child, according to researchers from the University of Melbourne in Australia.The children’s risk of asthma was exacerbated further if their father went on to become a smoker himself, according to the study published Sept. 14 in the European Respiratory Journal.“We found that the risk of non-allergic asthma in children increases by 59% if their fathers were exposed to secondhand smoke in childhood, compared to children whose fathers were not exposed. The risk was even higher, at 72%, if the fathers were exposed to secondhand smoke...
Breathing Dirty Air Can Cause Teens' Hearts to Skip a Beat
14 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Air pollution may cause irregular heart rhythms in otherwise healthy teens within two hours of exposure, a new study shows.Irregular heart rhythms, or arrhythmias, occur when the heart’s electrical impulses don't work properly. Symptoms may include heart flutters, chest pain, fainting or dizziness. Some arrhythmias increase a teen's chances of sudden cardiac death or developing heart disease later on, researchers said."The main take-home message for the teenagers is that air pollution may trigger severe cardiac outcomes, even contribute to death, [even if] they are normally very healthy," said study author Fan He, an instructor in public health sciences at Penn State College of Medicine. "Wearing face masks may be warranted on highly...
Deadly Form of High Cholesterol Can Catch Black...
14 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Chad Gradney underwent quadruple bypass open-heart surgery at age 27, and afterward spent eight fruitless years battling extremely high cholesterol levels.Then in 2012 he found himself back in an emergency room, again suffering from chest pain."That's when I found out three of the four bypasses basically had failed again," recalls Gradney, now 44 and living in Baton Rouge, La.Gradney suffers from familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a common genetic condition that impairs the way the body recycles "bad" LDL cholesterol.People with FH essentially are born with high cholesterol levels that only increase as they grow older. About 1 in every 250 people inherits the condition, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.But...
Vitamin D, Fish Oil Won't Help Elderly Stay Strong,...
14 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- If only you could pop vitamin D and fish oil supplements to fight the frailty that often comes with aging, but new research delivers a disappointing message: Don't count on it.In reaching that conclusion, the team used data from the VITAL study (Vitamin D and Omega-3 Trial), which included information from over 25,000 U.S. adults. Using questionnaires taken before the trial, six months after its start and annually through five years of follow-up, as well as frailty assessments, the researchers found the supplements made little difference.The investigators studied the supplements in many different subgroups, including those whose vitamin D levels were low, those with and without healthy diets, and men and women, noted study author Dr. Ariela...
Cancers in People Under 50 Are Rising Worldwide
14 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Cancers among younger adults are a growing global problem and are likely related to factors like poor diet, obesity and inactivity, a new research review finds.Since the 1990s, researchers say, rates of various cancers have been rising in many countries among people under 50. And while the reasons are not fully clear, it's likely that changes in lifestyle and environment — starting early in life — are playing a role.The review found that in recent decades, rates of 14 cancers have been inching up annually among younger adults in a diverse range of countries — from the United States and Canada, to Sweden and England and to Ecuador, Uganda and South Korea.The cancers, similarly, run the gamut, and include those of the breast, colon,...
Walking, Sitting: What Works Best to Help Baby Stop Crying?
14 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A new study hands parents what seems like a miraculous gift: A simple, free technique that takes just 13 minutes to put wailing infants to sleep.Researchers in Japan found that walking around while carrying infants for five minutes calmed the newborns, while another eight minutes of sitting while holding the sleeping babies quietly made the transfer to a crib a smooth one. The team studied the calming process using a baby ECG machine and video cameras to compare changes in heart rate and behavior as 21 mothers performed some activities that are common for calming infants. These included carrying the babies, pushing them in a stroller, and holding them while sitting. The researchers were able to record detailed data from babies who were...
Out-of-Pocket Costs for Cancer Care Keep Climbing
14 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Cancer patients already have a lot to deal with emotionally and physically. But research shows that insured patients under 65 are also paying more for their treatments out-of-pocket than ever before.The study highlights the "growing financial burden for non-elderly patients with cancer with private health insurance coverage," said senior study author Robin Yabroff, scientific vice president of health services research at the American Cancer Society (ACS). "Policy initiatives to mitigate financial hardship should consider cost containment as well as insurance reform, as most Americans will not be able to afford such an unexpected expense," she said in an ACS news release.Researchers from the ACS and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer...
Got COVID? Flushing Out Nasal Passages Could Cut Severity
14 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Battling COVID and eager to do anything that will limit you to a mild infection?Grab a neti pot, a new study advises.Flushing your sinus cavity twice daily with a mild saline solution can significantly reduce a COVID patient's risk of hospitalization and death, researchers report."We found an 8.5-fold reduction in hospitalizations and no fatalities compared to our controls," said senior author Dr. Richard Schwartz. He's chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University. "Both of those are pretty significant endpoints," Schwartz said in a college news release.For the study, 79 COVID patients self-administered nasal irrigation using saline water mixed with either povidone-iodine (the...
