How Many Steps a Day (and How Fast) to Lengthen Your Life?
TUESDAY, Sept. 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- There's an easy way to reduce your risk for dementia, heart disease and cancer: Start walking.Getting in those recommended 10,000 steps a day makes a real difference, new research affirms, but even fewer will pay big dividends. No matter how many you log, however, step up your pace for the biggest benefit.For every 2,000 steps you log, up to about 10,000 a day, your risk of early death drops by between 8% and 11%, researchers found."So, 10,000 steps maximizes the chances of getting all these benefits, but also for inactive people who can't engage in so many steps — any steps have benefits — every step counts," said lead researcher Borja del Pozo Cruz of the Center for Active and Healthy Aging at the University of Southern Denmark in...
Pot Use in Early Pregnancy Linked to Long-Term Mental...
13 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Using marijuana after the first weeks of pregnancy is linked to mental health issues in children that linger well into early adolescence, a new study shows. Exposure to cannabis after about five to six weeks of fetal development was associated with attention, social and behavioral problems, according to the findings. These problems continued as the children reached ages 11 and 12, raising the risk of mental health and substance use disorders in the teen years.Researchers from Washington University in St. Louis cautioned against using the drug during pregnancy.The team used data from the ongoing Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, which gathers information on brain development and health in 12,000 children and teens in the...
One App Is Especially Bad for Teens' Sleep
13 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Many teens look at screens at bedtime, but some apps are more likely to keep them awake than others, leading to sleep problems.That's the upshot of a new study in which researchers found YouTube fans experienced consistent and negative effects on sleep. Surprisingly, traditional TV was associated with earlier bedtimes. "We've been seeing teenagers who have sleep problems in our clinic," said co-author Michael Gradisar, head of sleep science at Sleep Cycle in Adelaide, Australia. "A lot of them have tried refraining from using technology, and clearly that hasn't worked for them. Many of them mentioned that they would watch YouTube as they try to fall asleep. They find it entertaining without it being overly stimulating."While many studies have...

13 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Monkeypox was the cause of death in a Los Angeles County adult last week, public health officials confirmed Tuesday. This is the first known death from monkeypox to be reported in the United States.The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said the patient had been hospitalized and had a severely weakened immune system."Persons severely immunocompromised who suspect they have monkeypox are encouraged to seek medical care and treatment early and remain under the care of a provider during their illness," the department said in a news release.California has had the most monkeypox cases in the country, with 4,300 out of 22,000 probable or confirmed cases nationwide, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and...
Who Needs to Worry About the Polio 'Emergency'?
13 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Even though New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently declared polio a state emergency after samples of the virus were found in wastewater in New York City and four surrounding counties, public health experts say it's not time to push the panic button. “The risk to the majority of the general public is very low,†said Hannah Newman, director of infection prevention at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. “Polio is something that we know how to prevent, the vaccine is part of our routine vaccination schedule, and our vaccine rates are high as a whole.â€Still, the new emergency order expands who can give a polio vaccine to include emergency medical service workers, midwives and pharmacists. Health care providers must also send vaccine...

13 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 13, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Getting ready for her annual meeting with members of Congress to seek more funding for Alzheimer's disease research, Ann Walters Tillery needed strong Wi-Fi for the video meeting.She had been working from home earlier that day but decided to go into the office at the University of Nebraska Foundation.

TikTok 'Slugging' Trend Has People Coating Their Faces With Grease
13 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- To slug or not to slug? That's the question for millions of TikTok users, who turn to the social media giant for tips and information on what amounts to a DIY skin care phenomenon.Slugging involves slathering some sort of sealing agent -- like Vaseline or another petroleum-based ointment -- onto the skin.What's the problem with that? New research warns that the majority of TikTok posts focused on the wrinkle-reducing practice are medically unreliable, hyping the benefits while downplaying the risks.The goal of slugging, explained study lead author Kyla Pagani, is "to help moisturize and strengthen the skin barrier," for those battling dryness, irritation or inflammation.The idea is not medically unsound, stressed Pagani, who conducted her...
Biden Makes Another Push for Cancer Moonshot Initiative
13 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- President Joe Biden made a renewed push for his cancer moonshot initiative on Monday.Speaking at the famed John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, Biden likened JFK's space race to his own effort to slash cancer rates by 50% in the next 25 years.“He established a national purpose that could rally the American people and a common cause,†Biden said of Kennedy's space effort."And I believe we can usher in the same unwillingness to postpone, the same national purpose, that will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills to end cancer as we know it and even cure cancers once and for all," he added.In his speech, Biden said the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) has launched a study that will look at...
