Could Artificial Sweeteners Be Bad for Your Heart?
FRIDAY, Sept. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Artificial sweeteners are a popular way to try to keep slim, but French researchers suggest they may also increase your risk for a heart attack or stroke.The finding stems from tracking heart health among more than 103,000 men and women in France for close to a decade."We observed that a higher intake of artificial sweeteners was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases," said study author Mathilde Touvier. She is director of the nutritional epidemiology research team at the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research and Sorbonne Paris Nord University, both in France.Roughly 80% of participants in the NutriNet-Santé cohort were women (average age: 42). The study began in 2009 to investigate links between...
FDA Warns of Rare Cases of Certain Cancers Linked to...
9 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday warned doctors and their patients about rare cases of squamous cell carcinoma and various lymphomas developing in the scar tissue that forms around breast implants. These cancers are different than an earlier FDA warning about Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL).Federal regulators discovered reports of the cancers as part of its routine post-market review and cautioned that their understanding of what’s going on is still evolving. So far, cases are rare: There have been fewer than 20 cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and fewer than 30 cases of various lymphomas reported in the capsule around breast implants, the FDA said. “While the FDA believes that...
CT Lung Cancer Screening Catches More Tumors Early
9 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Lung cancer CT screening scans can catch tumors at an earlier and more treatable stage, a new study indicates.The number of stage 1 lung cancers detected by doctors increased 8.4% after low-dose CT screening scans were implemented across four different health care systems, according to findings published recently in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.Regular lung cancer screenings also were linked to a 6.6% decrease in stage 4 cancers, because the tumors were caught earlier, researchers said.The statistics were drawn from four major health systems that are part of a consortium aimed at optimizing lung cancer screenings -- Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, Kaiser Permanente Hawaii and the University of Pennsylvania...
Dogs Have Died After Licking a Common Chemotherapy...
9 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Your dog may like to lick your hand or face, but if you're using a chemotherapy cream that treats certain skin conditions, you should not allow it, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration advises.The medication fluorouracil is fatal to dogs when ingested. People who keep the cream on a nightstand or counter should put it out of reach of their dogs, who may ingest it if they chew the container, the FDA advised. The agency has received reports involving dogs that were exposed to the cream; all the dogs have died. Although the FDA has not yet received any reports of fluorouracil poisoning in cats or other pets, it recommends that this drug be kept away from all pets.The cream is used to treat some types of skin cancers and a condition called actinic...
COVID May Help Trigger A-Fib in Some Patients
9 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) – About 1 in 20 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 develop the heart rhythm disorder atrial fibrillation, according to data from an American Heart Association (AHA) registry.Having a new case of a-fib in the hospital was associated with major heart events, the study found, as well as longer hospital stays and greater need for intensive care and intubation. About 45% of those patients died while in the hospital."In 2001, experts predicted the number of Americans living with a-fib would double by 2050 -- the situation may be more dire following the COVID-19 pandemic," said Dr. Jonathan Piccini. He is volunteer chairman of an AHA advisory group on a-fib and an associate professor at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. “Research...
Hunger, Poor Diet More Likely for Women With Disabilities
9 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers working to better understand the diets of younger women with disabilities found this group was more likely to report a poor diet and food insecurity."Eating a nutritious diet is central to preventing many chronic diseases. For women of reproductive age, a healthy diet can also support good outcomes during and after pregnancy," said study author Andrea Deierlein, an associate professor of public health nutrition at New York University's School of Global Public Health. "But a healthy diet requires access to healthy foods and the resources or ability to prepare them, and women with disabilities may face obstacles due to medical conditions or physical limitations," she said in a university news release.The researchers analyzed data from...

Feds Tighten Safety Standards on Tiny High-Powered Magnets That Have Injured Kids
8 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- New federal safety standards announced Wednesday aim to keep kids and teens safe from serious or life-threatening injuries from accidental swallowing of high-powered magnets.The new standards require that certain products with loose or separable magnets contain only those that are weak or too large to swallow. The aim is to reduce injuries that can occur when swallowed magnets attract to each other inside the body. The risks include perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and even death.Under the new standards, magnets that fit in a small parts cylinder must have a flux index of less than 50 kG2 mm2. Flux index is a measure of magnetic strength.The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)...
