Justin Bieber Takes Break From Touring Due to Health Issues
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Singer Justin Bieber said Tuesday that he will take a break from touring while he takes care of his health. Bieber has a condition known as Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which is rare type of viral infection. Caused by the chickenpox- and shingles-related varicella-zoster virus, the syndrome can cause paralysis of the facial nerve and a painful rash in the ear."Earlier this year, I went public about my battle with Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome where my face was partly paralyzed," Bieber said in a statement posted to his Instagram account. "As the result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North America leg of the Justice Tour."After resting and consulting with my doctors, family and team, I went to Europe in an effort to continue with the tour. I...
Microneedling Can Help Surgical Scars Fade, Especially...
7 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A technique called microneedling may help surgical scars heal more attractively — especially if it's done within a couple of months of surgery, a small study suggests.Researchers found that for 25 patients, microneedling improved the long-term appearance of scars after various types of surgery — based on both patient and doctor ratings. But the sooner it was done, the better. Patients who underwent their first microneedling session within six or seven weeks of surgery had the best results.That, the researchers said, goes against the "conventional wisdom," which holds that microneedling should be delayed until scars are about a year old.Microneedling is a layperson-friendly term for a procedure called minimally invasive percutaneous...
Telemedicine Diagnoses Match Those of In-Person Doctor...
7 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- With online medical visits growing in popularity, a new study offers some reassurance: Diagnoses made via video are usually on the money.Mayo Clinic researchers found that of preliminary diagnoses made during video appointments at their centers, 87% were later confirmed during in-person visits.The caveat is, the accuracy varied somewhat according to the type of medical condition: Not surprisingly, the researchers said, some conditions are tough to pinpoint without a physical exam or some type of test or imaging.They include, for example, skin conditions and ear-nose-throat problems that often rely on "hands-on" exams and diagnostic tests.On the other hand, video visits worked very well for mental health diagnoses, which depend heavily on...
Assisted Living Will Become Financially Out of Reach for...
7 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- America’s middle-income seniors could face a time of financial reckoning within the next decade, with the rising costs of health care and assisted living overwhelming their meager savings, a new study reports.The number of middle-income seniors in the United States is expected to nearly double by 2033, with 16 million people 75 or older making too much to qualify for government assistance but too little to afford comfortable living, according to an analysis by NORC at the University of Chicago.Three-quarters of seniors in the “Forgotten Middle†— 11.5 million seniors — won’t be able to pay for private assisted living unless they have a house to sell, the study concludes.And nearly 40% of those with a house won’t be able to...
Taking 2 Supplements in Pregnancy Could Lower Baby's Odds for Croup
7 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Many new parents have been jarred awake in the dead of night when they hear their baby let out that telltale barky cough that signals a bout of croup.Until now, nothing was thought to stave off the disease in babies who are prone to it, but a new study has discovered that when women took high doses of fish oil and vitamin D supplements during pregnancy, their babies had around a 40% lower risk of developing croup.Croup is a viral chest infection that mainly strikes kids under the age of 3. Symptoms include a barking seal-like cough, a hoarse voice, and a high-pitched, squeaky noise while breathing. Croup is usually mild, but some children will need more intensive treatment."There is currently no vaccine against the pathogen that causes this...
AHA News: Gay, Bisexual Adults May Be Less Likely to Take Needed High Blood Pressure Medication
7 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 7, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Gay and bisexual men and women appear less likely to take prescribed medications for high blood pressure than their straight peers, and the gap has been widening in recent years, according to preliminary new research."We expected the gap to be narrowing," said lead study author Syed Hyder, a fourth-year medical student at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta.The findings are being presented Thursday at the American Heart Association's Hypertension Scientific Sessions in San Diego. The research is considered preliminary until the full results are published in a peer-reviewed journal.The findings are concerning because research suggests sexual minority men and women – including gay, lesbian, bisexual and other...

7 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The stresses of the COVID-19 pandemic may have led to a significant jump in the number of young American adults seeking help for mental health woes, new data shows.Between 2019 and 2021, the percentage of American adults overall who said they'd sought and received any mental health treatment over the past year rose from 19.2% to 21.6%, according a report from the National Center for Health Statistics at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.But the rise was concentrated among younger adults -- those aged 18 to 44.

That means that close to 1 in every 4 young American adults is now battling some mental health issue.In contrast, among adults...
First Needle-Free COVID Vaccines Get OK in India, China
7 September 2022
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) – While researchers explore the possibilities of COVID-19 vaccines that don’t require an injection, public health officials in India and China have already each approved new needle-free versions for their citizens.In India, regulators on Tuesday approved a nasal vaccine developed in the United States and manufactured by the company Bharat Biotech. Meant for people who have not yet been vaccinated, it was not clear how well it works because the company has not yet released study results, although it has also applied for the spray to be used as a booster. A timeline for the nasal spray’s rollout was also not available, the Associated Press reported. “This step will further strengthen our collective fight against the pandemic†Indian...
