Women With Migraines Face Higher Odds for Complications in Pregnancy
TUESDAY, Sept. 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A history of migraine headaches could make a woman more prone to pregnancy complications, such as issues with blood pressure or preterm birth, according to a new study."We now know migraines may be an underrecognized risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes," said study co-author Dr. Natalie Bello, director of hypertension research in the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. "The reason for these associations remains unclear, but we suspect they might be related to pathways of inflammation, blood vessel dysfunction or increased risk for blood clots," Bello said in a Cedars-Sinai news release.For the study, the researchers used information from a U.S. National Institutes of Health-funded database. They followed nearly 10,000...
Timing of Meals Could Alter Your Mood
13 September 2022
TUESDAY, Sept. 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The time of day -- or especially night -- that you eat may affect your mental health, according to a small new study.Researchers created a simulated shift-work schedule and found increases in depression and anxiety for those eating at odd hours."Our findings provide evidence for the timing of food intake as a novel strategy to potentially minimize mood vulnerability in individuals experiencing circadian misalignment, such as people engaged in shift work, experiencing jet lag, or suffering from circadian rhythm disorders," said co-author Frank Scheer. He's director of the medical chronobiology program in Brigham and Women's Hospital's Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders in Boston."Future studies in shift workers and clinical populations...
COVID Shots' Effect Fades, But Boosters Bring Protection...
12 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Updated COVID-19 booster shots that target Omicron variants are rolling out across the United States, and a new study argues they're coming at just the right time.Protective antibody levels tend to decline by at least 15% each month after a person receives a single COVID booster shot, researchers report.That said, getting a new booster dose will completely restore antibody levels and provide strong protection against severe COVID, the same researchers found."A second booster is highly recommended, especially for those with old age and underlying conditions," said senior researcher Dr. Shan-Lu Liu, co-director of the Viruses and Emerging Pathogens Program at Ohio State University.In late August, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved...
Unhealthy Gums Could Up Your Odds for Dementia
12 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Gum disease has far-reaching effects and may increase your odds of developing dementia, a new study suggests.In a review of 47 previously published studies, researchers in Finland found that tooth loss, deep pockets around teeth in the gums, or bone loss in the tooth sockets was tied to a 21% higher risk of dementia and a 23% higher risk of milder cognitive decline. Tooth loss itself — an indicator of gum, or periodontal, disease — was linked to a 23% higher risk of cognitive (mental) decline and a 13% higher risk of dementia, according to the study. "Maintaining adequate periodontal health, including retention of healthy natural teeth, seems to be important also in the context of preventing cognitive decline and dementia," said lead...
In Rare Cases, Monkeypox Can Trigger Dangerous Brain Inflammation
12 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Though the risk appears small, a new review suggests that, in rare instances, monkeypox may trigger serious neurological complications, including seizures and brain inflammation.The finding is based on a look at 19 studies conducted in the United States, the United Kingdom and across Africa. All of the investigations worked with data collected before the recent monkeypox outbreak began in May. And the investigators cautioned it’s not clear how applicable past outbreak experiences are to the current one, as viral types, medical care and patient profiles may differ considerably.Still, the earlier research efforts collectively indicated that monkeypox patients face a 2% to 3% risk for being struck by at least one seizure, serious brain swelling...
Blood Test Shows Promise at Catching Cancers Early
12 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A single blood test that can screen for more than 50 cancers seems to work fairly well in the real world, a preliminary study reveals.Researchers found that of over 6,600 apparently healthy people aged 50 and older, the blood test detected a possible cancer "signal" in roughly 1%. When those individuals had more extensive testing, cancer was confirmed in 38%.Experts called the findings an "important first step" in seeing how the so-called multi-cancer early detection test could fit into real-world care."This is not ready for prime time," stressed study co-author Catherine Marinac, a researcher at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.But if further studies confirm the blood test's usefulness, she said, it could become a "game changer."The...
New 988 Suicide Hotline Sees Increase in Calls for Help
12 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched a new suicide hotline using just the numbers 988 in July, and now new data shows calls climbed 45% compared to the same time last year."Our nation's transition to 988 moves us closer to better serving the crisis care needs of people across America," HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement released Friday. "988 is more than a number, it's a message: we're there for you. The transition to 988 is just the beginning. We will continue working towards comprehensive, responsive crisis care services nationwide to save lives."The lifeline call center received a total of 361,140 calls, chats and texts last month, according to performance data for August. It took an average of 42 seconds...
New York Declares Emergency After Finding More Spread of Poliovirus
12 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) – New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has declared a state emergency after finding evidence of continued community spread of poliovirus.Public health officials have detected the virus in a fourth county, Nassau in Long Island, which follows cases detected in Rockland, Orange and Sullivan counties. That sample was linked genetically to the first Rockland County case, which suggests more community spread. The Nassau County case was found in a sample collected last month. The emergency declaration will allow EMS workers, midwives and pharmacists to administer polio vaccines. Doctors can also issue standing orders for the vaccine. "On polio, we simply cannot roll the dice," said state Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett in a statement on the latest sample....
