More Diverse Pool of Blood Donors Needed to Help Sickle Cell Patients
TUESDAY, Sept. 6, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A network that receives and supplies blood for transfusions nationwide is calling for more diverse blood donors.Less than 20% of blood donations are from people of color, but those donations are essential. Frequently transfused patients often require blood from donors with similar ethnic and racial backgrounds.Those who need frequent transfusions include people with sickle cell disease, an inherited blood disorder that affects about 100,000 people nationwide. It occurs in 1 of every 365 African-American births. One in 3 African-American blood donors is a match for a sickle cell patient."Sickle cell patients rely on a diverse and available blood supply to treat the effects of this disease and mitigate complications. Less than 20% of all blood...
Teens More Likely to Vape If Parent Smokes
5 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 5, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Parents who smoke should know that their kids are more likely to vape and try smoking.Those teens were 55% more likely to try e-cigarettes than those of nonsmoking parents and 51% more likely to have tried traditional cigarettes, according to a large study out of Ireland.It also found that the percentage who have tried vaping is rising dramatically. Boys are still more likely than girls to do so, but the number of girls who have smoked is growing."These findings are worrying, not just for teenagers in Ireland, but for families all around the world," said Dr. Jonathan Grigg, head of the Tobacco Control Committee of the European Respiratory Society (ERS). "We know already that children of parents who smoke are more likely to take up smoking. This...
Experimental Insulin-in-a-Pill Shows Promise in Rat Study
5 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 5, 2022 (HealthDay News) – People with type 1 diabetes who need to inject insulin a few times a day could eventually be switching to an easier-to-take tablet that dissolves inside the cheek. Canadian researchers working with rodents report they have created an insulin that could be taken in pill form without most of being wasted in the stomach. “These exciting results show that we are on the right track in developing an insulin formulation that will no longer need to be injected before every meal, improving the quality of life, as well as mental health, of more than 9 million type 1 diabetics around the world,†said lead study author Dr. Anubhav Pratap-Singh, from the University of British Columbia's faculty of land and food systems. His inspiration for the work...
Monkeypox Can Harm the Heart
5 September 2022
MONDAY, Sept. 5, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Monkeypox, the contagious virus that causes a blister-like skin rash, may also cause heart problems, according to a new case study.In findings published Sept. 2 in JACC: Case Reports, doctors in Portugal described a 31-year-old patient with monkeypox who developed acute myocarditis about a week after his other symptoms started."Through this important case study, we are developing a deeper understanding of monkeypox, viral myocarditis and how to accurately diagnose and manage this disease," said the journal's editor-in-chief, Dr. Julia Grapsa. The authors used CMR mapping, an imaging tool, to help with the myocarditis diagnosis, she said in a journal news release. Five days after his symptoms began, the man went to a health clinic with fever,...
Oral Surgery on Your Calendar? Expert Offers Tips to Ease Anxiety
4 September 2022
SUNDAY, Sept. 4, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- If you’re planning to have oral surgery, be prepared, not scared, an expert suggests — and stay off YouTube.“I tell all of my patients, ‘The more you know, the better it’s going to be.’ As health professionals, we’re not trying to scare patients with information; it’s just that when you’re prepared for something, when you know what’s going to happen, it reduces the anxiety level, and it goes more smoothly,†said Dr. Maria Papageorge. She is head of the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, in Boston.Papageorge said many patients, if not most or all, are scared when faced with oral and maxillofacial surgery. The many reasons for these types of surgery include...
Too Often, Diabetes & Hearing Loss Go Together
3 September 2022
SATURDAY, Sept. 3, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Though it's not clear how diabetes may be related to hearing loss, many people experience both conditions simultaneously.About 37 million Americans have diabetes, estimates the American Diabetes Association. Meanwhile, about 34.5 million of them also have some type of hearing loss. Experiencing hearing loss is twice as common in people with diabetes as it is in those who don't have the condition, according to a recent study. Even for the 133 million people with prediabetes, the rate of hearing loss is 30% higher than in those with normal blood sugar. The reason may be that high blood sugar levels may damage the small blood vessels in the inner ear, the association suggests. This would be similar to the way in which diabetes can damage the...
Used During Pandemic, Telehealth Lowered U.S. Opioid Overdoses
2 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 2, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Telehealth flourished during the pandemic, and now a new study shows it saved lives: The practice meant more people struggling with opioid addiction stayed in treatment longer and thereby lowered their risk of dying from an overdose.For the study, researchers analyzed data among nearly 176,000 Medicare beneficiaries from September 2018 to February 2021. The analysis looked at telehealth services, medications for opioid use disorder, and medically treated overdoses among patients starting a new round of care before the pandemic compared to those during the pandemic.“Strategies to increase access to care and medications for opioid use disorder receipt and retention are urgently needed, and the results of this study add to the growing research...
'Digital Self-Harm': When Teens Cyberbully Themselves
2 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 2, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Up to 9% of American teens say they've engaged in what's known as "digital self-harm" -- anonymously posting negative comments about themselves on social media.As is the case with acts of physical self-harm such as cutting, this "virtual" self-harm is associated with a higher risk for thinking about or attempting suicide, according to a startling new study. It found that teens who engaged in digital self-harm were up to seven times more likely to have considered suicide and as much as 15 times more likely to have made an attempt."We can't say that one causes the other, but we do know they are connected in some way," said lead author Justin Patchin. He's co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Eau...
