Archaeologists Discover Evidence of Surgical Amputation Performed 30,000 Years Ago
MONDAY, Sept. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Skeletal remains of a young adult discovered in a remote cave in Borneo appear to be the oldest known case of surgical amputation.Australian and Indonesian researchers estimate the bones are at least 31,000 years old. It appears that the young adult lost his foot and lower leg in childhood and lived for at least six to nine more years after that, they said."The discovery implies that at least some modern human foraging groups in tropical Asia had developed sophisticated medical knowledge and skills long before the Neolithic farming transition," said co-lead researcher Melandri Vlok. She's a bioarchaeologist and expert in ancient skeletons at the University of Sydney.In a university news release, Vlok called the find "incredibly exciting and...
Pandemic Silver Lining: Drop in Infections That Cause...
12 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The number of babies born with a virus that commonly causes birth defects may have dropped significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, new research suggests.That was true in Minnesota, the first state to start screening all newborns for congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV).In the five years leading up to the pandemic, about 1 in every 200 babies was born with CMV. That dropped to 1 in every 1,000 between August 2020 and December 2021, the new study found."At last, something positive came out of the COVID-19 pandemic," said principal investigator Dr. Mark Schleiss. He's a pediatric infectious disease specialist and professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School. "The hygienic precautions we all have engaged in during the pandemic --...
Could You Spot the Signs of Suicide Risk?
12 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Recognizing the signs that someone is considering suicide could help save a life."Emergency physicians see many people who are struggling silently with their mental health," said Dr. Gillian Schmitz, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. "One of the most impactful things anyone can do to prevent a tragedy is to spot signs of trouble and simply start a conversation," she said in a college news release. "Talking about mental health is an important first step that could make all the difference for somebody who needs help."Every 11 minutes, one person died by suicide in 2020 in the United States, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). There are certain factors that can make it more...
Screening Test Leads to Fewer Women Included in Autism...
12 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A frequently used screening test for autism creates a gender gap that could hinder diagnosis and treatment for women and girls, a new study suggests.Researchers who study autism have been working to include more women and girls in their studies in recent years. Still, the majority of these studies consistently include few or no female participants, the report authors said.Why? They found that a screening test often used to decide who can take part in autism studies seems to exclude a much higher percentage of women than men. "I think the findings favor having a more inclusive approach and widening the lens to end up being less biased in terms of who participates in research," said senior study author John Gabrieli. He's a professor of brain...
Talking to Your Child About Weight, But Avoiding Stigma
11 September 2022
SUNDAY, Sept. 11, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Helping a child deal with a weight issue, while avoiding negativity about their body image, can be challenging, one expert says.Yet, obesity affects 20% of American children, causing harm to physical and mental health.Dr. Marsha Novick, medical director of the Healthy Weight Program for Children and Teens at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital, in Hershey, Pa., offered some suggestions for parents helping their child maintain a healthy weight.“Parents should see obesity as a health or medical problem, rather than a willpower issue,†Novick said in a hospital news release. “Obesity is not their child’s fault — readily available ultra-processed foods are the problem. The reward centers in the human brain are stimulated by processed...
As Heat Continues Through Fall, Shield Yourself from UTIs
10 September 2022
SATURDAY, Sept. 10, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As summer gives way to fall, hot weather isn't likely to let up anytime soon, and that means it's important to stay hydrated to keep urinary tract infections at bay.Getting dehydrated is a leading risk factor for these common, painful infections, also known as UTIs."Patients can experience more UTIs during the summer due to inadequate fluid intake, especially in the historic heat waves we've been experiencing," said Dr. Maude Carmel, associate professor of urology at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. UTIs are common and feature burning or pain with urination, increased frequency and need to go, and blood in the urine.While painful urination does not necessarily mean you have a UTI, that can be a cause. Diagnosing this requires a...
Second Person in U.S. Dies After Monkeypox Diagnosis
9 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A second person in the United States infected with monkeypox has died in California. As in the earlier case in Texas, public health officials are investigating what role the virus may have played in the death of this second patient."We will be doing an autopsy. So, it does take time for those results to come back. So, it may be as soon as a few days, or it may take a few weeks," Los Angeles County's Dr. Rita Singhal told reporters on Thursday. The autopsy was planned for Friday.An estimated 18 people have died around the world in this monkeypox outbreak, including eight in "locations that have not historically reported monkeypox," according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. California has more monkeypox cases than any...
Are Big Breakfasts Really the Key to ​Weight Loss?
9 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Dieters who believe that eating a big breakfast followed by a small dinner is the surest way to lose weight will likely be very disappointed by the findings of a new, small study.What did the researchers discover? Eating the largest meal early in the day is unlikely to make any difference.“The notion of timing of eating to influence health has been around for a long time,†said study author Alexandra Johnstone, a registered nutritionist and professor in the school of medicine, medical sciences and nutrition with the Rowett Institute at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.Johnstone acknowledged that the advice to “breakfast like a king and dine like a pauper†has plenty of adherents.And prior research has in fact “suggested that...
