More Cases in E. Coli Outbreak Tied to Wendy's Restaurant Lettuce
FRIDAY, Sept. 2, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A total of 97 people across six states have now been made ill by E. coli, in an outbreak possibly tied to contaminated lettuce used in sandwiches sold at Wendy's restaurants."Since the last update on August 25, 2022, 13 more illnesses have been reported to CDC," the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in an updated statement released Thursday. Two states -- Kentucky and New York (with one case each) -- have now been added to the list of states reporting cases, which also includes Michigan (58 cases), Ohio (24), Indiana (11) and Pennsylvania (2). Illnesses from infection with the gastrointestinal bacterium have often been severe. "Of 81 people with information available, 43 have been hospitalized and 10 developed hemolytic...
Can You Get Monkeypox at the Gym?
2 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 2, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Yes, you can get monkeypox at the gym, but there's no need to panic, one expert says.“We have plenty of ways to protect ourselves in this setting,†said Dr. Thomas Giordano, chief of infectious diseases at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. First, wipe down equipment including weight machines, dumbbells, barbells and yoga mats, before and after use. Don’t share gym towels because the virus can be spread by touching a towel used by someone who has the virus.“Most of the surfaces you’re coming across in the gym are hard, like plastic and metal, and not porous, like towels and linens,†Giordano said in a Baylor news release. “Because many gyms provided cleaning solutions before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, you can easily...
Air Pollution May Do More Harm to Women Than Men
2 September 2022
FRIDAY, Sept. 2, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Breathing in fumes from diesel exhaust may be more damaging to women than to men, a new, small Canadian study claims.“We already know that there are sex differences in lung diseases such as asthma and respiratory infections," said lead researcher Hemshekhar Mahadevappa, from the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. "Our previous research showed that breathing diesel exhaust creates inflammation in the lungs and has an impact on how the body deals with respiratory infections," he said. "In this study, we wanted to look for any effects in the blood and how these differ in females and males." To study the issue, the researchers recruited five women and five men, all of whom were healthy nonsmokers. They were then asked to spend four hours...
CDC Approves Omicron-Specific Booster Shots From Pfizer,...
1 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Hours after a vaccine advisory panel to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention signaled its support for updated COVID boosters targeting Omicron variants, agency director Dr. Rochelle Walensky issued her endorsement as well.Walensky's sign-off paves the way for the shots from Pfizer and Moderna to get into American arms within days."The updated COVID-19 boosters are formulated to better protect against the most recently circulating COVID-19 variant," Walensky said in the CDC statement issued Thursday. "They can help restore protection that has waned since previous vaccination and were designed to provide broader protection against newer variants."Final approval comes before the possible emergence of a winter surge in COVID-19...
In Small Study, Hormone Boosts Thinking Skills in Men With Down Syndrome
1 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Men with Down syndrome may think and remember better when treated with a brain hormone normally associated with fertility, a new small-scale study suggests.Rhythmic drip doses of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) improved thinking skills in nearly all of a small group of adult males with Down syndrome, improving their memory, attention and reasoning.Six months of GnRH therapy improved cognition “in six out of seven patients by 20% to 30%,†said senior researcher Vincent Prevot, director of the development & plasticity of the neuroendocrine brain team at the University of Lille, in France.If these results are confirmed in larger clinical trials, this would make GnRH therapy the first available treatment to help Down syndrome patients...
AHA News: Take a Fresh Look at Oatmeal – It's Not as Simple as You Think
1 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 1, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Let's admit it: Oatmeal is a total nerd. It lacks fashion sense – the color they named after it is somewhere on the drab side of beige. It's often seen with Sesame Street's Bert, who also loves bottle caps, paper clips and pigeons.But when it comes to healthy eating, oatmeal and the oats it comes from can definitely hang with the cool kids at the breakfast table."It has many, many good qualities," said Candida Rebello, director of the nutrition and chronic disease research program at Louisiana State University's Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge.Extensive studies have associated oats and oatmeal with plenty of heart-healthy benefits, such as lowering cholesterol (both total and "bad" LDL cholesterol) and...
Could Your Blood Type Raise Your Odds for Stroke?
1 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The risk of suffering a stroke at an early age may depend partly on a person's blood type, a large study suggests.When it comes to the risk of ischemic stroke — the kind caused by a blood clot — studies have hinted that blood type plays a role. People with type O blood generally have a somewhat lower risk than those with types A, B or AB.Now the new study suggests that blood type is more strongly tied to the risk of ischemic stroke at a younger age (before age 60) compared to later in life. And type A blood, specifically, stood out as a risk factor.The researchers stressed that blood type is not a strong influence: On average, they found, people with type A blood had a 16% higher risk of having a stroke before age 60, versus people with...
Lots of Ultra-Processed Foods Could Raise a Man's Odds for Colon Cancer
1 September 2022
THURSDAY, Sept. 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Many guys love a breakfast plate piled high with sausages and maybe a sugar-glazed danish on the side. Now, research shows that wolfing down too many ultra-processed foods like these could be bad news for a man's colon.Specifically, men who consumed the highest amount of ultra-processed food had a 29% greater risk for developing colon cancer, when compared to men who consumed smaller amounts. Surprisingly, there was not an increased risk for women who consumed higher amounts of ultra-processed foods.“The study provides evidence of the potential link between ultra-processed foods and colorectal cancer, and supports the public health importance of limiting certain types of ultra-processed foods for promoting better health outcomes in the...
