Another Reason to Get the Flu Shot: Lowered Risk for Stroke
THURSDAY, Sept. 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As flu season approaches, a new study is pointing to a possible bonus from vaccination: a lower risk of stroke.Researchers in Spain found that among nearly 86,000 middle-aged and older adults, those who got their annual flu shot were less likely to suffer an ischemic stroke over the next year.Ischemic strokes, which account for most strokes, are caused by a blood clot that diminishes blood flow to the brain.The risk reduction linked to the flu shot was not huge: On average, vaccinated people were 12% less likely to suffer a stroke compared to their unvaccinated counterparts.But senior researcher Dr. Francisco Jose de Abajo pointed to the bigger context: A huge number of people worldwide suffer a stroke each year, and a huge number get -- or...
Stress Before COVID Infection Could Raise Odds for Long...
8 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As scientists around the world investigate why long COVID strikes some and not others, a new study finds that suffering psychological distress prior to COVID-19 infection may increase the chances of getting the lingering condition.Researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston said they were surprised at the strength of the association between long COVID and depression, anxiety, worry, perceived stress and loneliness. But senior study author Andrea Roberts, a senior research scientist in the school's department of environmental health, said long COVID cases have reminded her of other physical health conditions that are associated with mental health, such as fibromyalgia or Lyme disease. “We know from studies of...
AHA News: Her Research Is Getting Worldwide Attention....
8 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 8, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Explaining her research, Maria Balhara sounds like a typical scientist: She had a hypothesis. She recruited participants to evaluate. She analyzed the data. Soon, she'll present her work at major scientific conferences.This might be routine stuff for a professor or graduate student. For a 16-year-old high schooler, not so much.Balhara, a senior at Cooper City High School in South Florida, will present her work, "Proposing a New 'Gateway Food Model' for Adolescent Eating Behavior and Its Implications for Modifiable Hypertension Risk Factors," on Saturday at the American Heart Association's Hypertension Scientific Sessions in San Diego.Her research was conceived as she thought about how "gateway" drugs can lead people to try...
Experimental Drug Shows Promise Against Lupus
8 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental drug that has been shown to treat rashes in people with lupus may also help with lupus-related joint pain.Affecting as many as 1.5 million people in the United States, lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system misfires against its own joints, skin, brain, lungs, kidneys and blood vessels.People with lupus who took litifilimab showed marked reductions in joint tenderness and swelling compared with people who took a placebo (or dummy medication), a clinical trial showed.Given as a shot, the new drug is a monoclonal antibody. These are man-made molecules that target specific proteins on cells. In this case, the drug targets a protein called blood dendritic cell antigen 2 (BDCA2). This protein is found on...
Doctors 'Concerned' About Health of Queen Elizabeth II
8 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Buckingham Palace on Thursday announced that Britain's Queen Elizabeth II has been placed under medical supervision following "concern" from her doctors over her health. The queen, 96, is still residing at Balmoral Castle, her estate in the Scottish Highlands, and has not been placed under hospital care, the palace said in a statement.Still, on Tuesday the monarch appeared frail in a meeting with newly appointed Prime Minister Liz Truss, and on Wednesday she canceled a virtual meeting with her Privy Council, based on doctors' orders advising rest, the New York Times reported. “Following further evaluation this morning, the queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended that she remain under medical...
Nurse Practitioners Are Filling the Gap in U.S. Psychiatric Care
8 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While mental health care has become a full-blown crisis in the United States, a new study finds that psychiatric nurse practitioners are helping to fill the gap. The researchers discovered that the mental health system in the United States has become increasingly reliant on this particular category of specialists to meet the needs of Medicare patients as the numbers of psychiatrists accepting Medicare has dropped.“We were surprised by the degree to which PMHNPs [psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners] are the de facto mental health prescribers in parts of the country,†said corresponding study author Michael Barnett. He is an associate professor of health policy and management at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, in...
Vitamin D Supplements Won't Shield You From COVID-19, Studies Find
8 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While vitamin D got some attention early in the pandemic, it does not reduce the risk of either COVID-19 or other respiratory infections, two new clinical trials found. Both studies, one done in the United Kingdom and the other in Norway, found that boosting levels of vitamin D in adults during the pandemic didn’t help protect against respiratory viruses, even though byproducts from the vitamin have long been noted for their support of immune responses to viruses and bacteria.In the British trial, researchers included 6,200 people aged 16 and older who weren't taking vitamin D supplements at the start of the study.About half of the participants were tested for vitamin D levels as the trial began. About 86% of those had low levels and were...
In Rare Move, FDA Panel Gives Support to Controversial ALS Drug in 2nd Review
8 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) – In a rare second review, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration panel on Wednesday recommended approval for an experimental drug for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). The FDA is not obligated to follow its advisors' recommendations, though it usually does.Wednesday's vote was 7-2 for approval. The same panel voted 6-4 last March not to approve the drug, called Albrioza (AMX0035), for the deadly neurodegenerative condition that’s also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Getting the drug approved has become a rallying cause for patients, their families and members of Congress, the Associated Press reported. They have contend that enough evidence exists to support Albrioza's safety and effectiveness in patients with a disease that has no...
