Bruce Springsteen Postpones Shows Due to Peptic Ulcers
THURSDAY, Sept. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Bruce Springsteen has again postponed shows for illness, this time while he is treated for symptoms of peptic ulcer disease.Springsteen announced Wednesday that he was postponing his September shows in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., Albany and Syracuse in New York, and in Connecticut and Ohio, the Associated Press reported.“Over here on E Street, we’re heartbroken to have to postpone these shows,†Springsteen said in a statement posted on his site and social media. “We’ll be back to pick up these shows and then some.â€Peptic ulcer disease causes heartburn, nausea and abdominal pain from ulcers in the stomach or small intestine.This is the first tour in six years for “The Boss†and his E Street Band.

In Twins Study, Concussions in Early Life Tied to Memory...
7 September 2023
THURSDAY, Sept. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Your thinking and memory skills may take a hit decades after recovering from a concussion, a new study indicates.Scientists who studied male twins, from an average age of 67, found that earlier concussions were tied to lower scores on tests of thinking and memory. These men also had a more rapid decline in their cognitive skills — skills needed for reasoning and the acquisition of knowledge.“It is concerning and, honestly, since previous studies had not been able to capture the cognitive decline, it was not something I really was expecting to see," said study author Marianne Chanti-Ketterl, a gerontologist at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. “But it is also promising because it's something that we can intervene on." ...
New Test Could Spot a Tough-to-Detect Cervical Cancer
7 September 2023
THURSDAY, Sept. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new test detects a type of cervical cancer often missed by a standard Pap test, providing an important advance in detection.The test was developed by scientists at Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center in New York City.“Our novel test appears sensitive for detecting cervical adenocarcinoma [ADC] — which now accounts for up to 25% of cervical cancer cases — as well as its precursor lesions, adenocarcinoma in situ [AIS], that often develop into ADCs,†said researcher Dr. Howard Strickler of the cancer center.“Because ADCs are often missed by current screening methods, they have higher [death] rates than the more common cervical squamous cell cancer,†Strickler added in a cancer center news release. “Our goal is to catch the disease...
Booming Sales of Legal Marijuana Linked to More Car Crashes
7 September 2023
THURSDAY, Sept. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Emergency room visits for injuries related to driving under the influence of cannabis skyrocketed in Canada after the drug was legalized there, a new study reports.In October 2018, Canada became the second country to nationally legalize recreational or nonmedical cannabis for adult use. While known cannabis-involved emergency department (ED) visits for traffic injuries were still rare, they grew by 475% over 13 years, with a sharper rise in accidents after legalization, the researchers found.“Our findings highlight a concerning increase in cannabis-involvement in traffic-injury emergency visits over time, with even sharper spikes following the phases of legalization and commercialization,†said lead author Dr. Daniel Myran, a...
Were You a Big Baby at Birth? Your Infant May Be Also, Study Finds
7 September 2023
THURSDAY, Sept. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- If you were a big baby -- or your spouse or partner was -- your baby has a good chance of being big, too.New research shows parents who were large babies are more likely to give birth to a large baby.Knowing this has the potential to improve prenatal care and interventions by identifying which pregnancies have higher risk of labor and delivery complications.To study this, researchers combined information on parents' birthweight to pregnancies they parented, over 50 years. Data on nearly 648,000 singleton births in Norway were included.Researchers defined macrosomia, the scientific word for a big baby, as 4,500 grams -- about 10 pounds.About 3.2% of parents in the study were big babies, compared to 4% of their offspring.Compared to both...
Making Sure You Don't Get RSV This Winter: An Expert Offers Tips
7 September 2023
THURSDAY, Sept. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common viral infection that affects people of all ages, with infants and older adults being particularly vulnerable to severe complications. Preventing the spread of RSV requires a multi-pronged approach that includes vaccination, good hygiene practices and public health initiatives. You may have seen recent reports about newly approved vaccines for RSV. One vaccine is approved for use between 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, to protect infants from birth through 6 months of age. There are also two RSV vaccines licensed for use in adults aged 60 years and older in the United States. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that adults 60 and older receive a single dose of RSV vaccine...
Study Confirms Effectiveness of Mpox Vaccine
7 September 2023
THURSDAY, Sept. 7, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- While it doesn't prevent infection altogether, new research shows the mpox vaccine does reduces the severity of disease in those who fall ill from the virus.An international team of scientists found that those people who had either mpox vaccination or a previous infection in 2022 had less severe disease. The researchers studied 38 mpox infections in 37 gay and bisexual men; among the group were eight reinfections and 30 that occurred after a complete vaccination course.Patients who had been vaccinated had fewer lesions, less disease of the mucous membranes of the mouth and genitals, and minimal need for pain medication or hospitalization. Researchers used what is called the Mpox-SSS score to assess symptom severity. The scoring system was...
Boosting Their Creativity Helps Kids Face Life's Challenges, Study Finds
6 September 2023
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Just like adults, kids face daily stressors.Luckily, a new study suggests that teaching them creative thinking can help them manage it all.Researchers found that when school-age children learned some "narrative creativity" techniques -- such as shifting your perspective and imagining "what if" scenarios -- they quickly became better problem-solvers.After a week-long creativity camp, or even just a single lesson, kids showed more confidence in their ability to face life's daily problems and come up with a "plan B" when necessary.The study was small, based on 60 kids attending the same summer camp. But experts said the findings just make sense.When kids can think flexibly, they are less likely to "panic" in the face of challenge, said study...
