'Healthier' Option? Fit Teens Are More Likely to Vape
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- It might seem incongruous, but new research suggests that teens who engage in more physical activity may vape more frequently than their less active peers.In the study, high schoolers who reported being physically active had a higher risk of using vaping products than their peers who were active just one day a week or less. When compared to their less active peers, teens who reported engaging in at least 60 minutes of physical activity four to five days per week were 23% more likely to use a vaping product. Teenagers were 11% more likely to use such products if they reported being active two to three days per week.The new study by University of Georgia (UGA) researchers, published online recently in the journal Tobacco Use Insights, is the...
Wildlife Crossings Over Highways Save Human Lives, Too
31 August 2022
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- In Washington state, 22 wildlife bridges and underpasses provide animals with a safe way through to search for food or escape predators and wildfires.It turns out the crossings have been benefiting humans, too.In a 10-mile radius around wildlife crossings, there are between one and three fewer collisions a year between vehicles and animals, a new study found.“Wildlife crossing structures not only benefit the ecosystem but may also improve road safety,†said study author Wisnu Sugiarto, a doctoral student in economics at Washington State University in Pullman. The findings were recently published in the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board.Sugiarto analyzed collision data from the Washington State...
Brain Study Shows How Fentanyl Kills
31 August 2022
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Fentanyl, the synthetic opioid that's driving a surge in drug overdose deaths, kills by stopping breathing even before someone loses consciousness, a new study reveals. To come to that conclusion, researchers ran electroencephalogram (EEG) tests on 25 patients who were undergoing operations lasting two hours or more. Pharmaceutical fentanyl can be used to supplement sedation and to relieve severe pain during and after surgery, the researchers explained."We found that fentanyl produces a specific EEG signature distinct from other anesthetic drugs, which could make it possible to monitor its effects to enable safer, more precise and personalized opioid administration," said senior study author Patrick Purdon, of Massachusetts General Hospital...
One Factor Is Key to Healthy Eating for Kids With Down...
31 August 2022
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) – When it comes to food, kids with Down syndrome have definite likes and dislikes -- and a food's texture is crucial.Food with a crispy, oily mouthfeel generally get a big thumbs-up, while brittle or gooey foods get a thumbs-down. But picky food choices can result in a less healthful diet, so researchers wanted to better understand how texture affects eating for people with Down syndrome and how to help improve nutrition."We want to help people understand what food textures children with Down syndrome prefer, and how to move them from things like pureed foods to texturally complex foods, which tend to have more nutritional value," said lead author Carolyn Ross. She's a professor of food science at Washington State University.To learn more,...
First U.S. Monkeypox Death Reported in Texas
30 August 2022
TUESDAY, Aug. 30, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A Texas patient who was infected with monkeypox has died, though state health officials said Tuesday it's too early to say what role the virus may have played in the death. The adult, who died in a hospital in Harris County, was "severely immunocompromised" and had "various severe illnesses," health officials said. Autopsy results are expected in the next few weeks."Monkeypox is a serious disease, particularly for those with weakened immune systems," Texas Department of Health Services Commissioner Dr. John Hellerstedt said in a news release announcing the death. "We continue to urge people to seek treatment if they have been exposed to monkeypox or have symptoms consistent with the disease.""We are sharing this information to err on the side...
Deep Brain Stimulation Shows Promise Against Binge Eating Disorder
30 August 2022
TUESDAY, Aug. 30, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Electrically stimulating the brain's "reward" circuity may hold promise as a treatment for binge eating disorder, a small pilot study suggests.The findings are based on just two patients who received deep brain stimulation (DBS) -- a technique used for certain other medical conditions, including epilepsy. But over six months, the approach was able to reduce the patients' "loss of control" eating -- so much so that one patient no longer met the criteria for binge eating disorder.Experts were encouraged by the initial success, and said it strengthens the evidence that binge eating is a brain-based disorder."This has nothing to do with willpower," said Stuart Murray, director of the Eating Disorders Program at the University of Southern...
Lawsuit Claims Amazon's Top-Selling Mattress a 'Health Hazard'
30 August 2022
TUESDAY, Aug. 30, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Customers who bought a bestselling mattress sold on Amazon and at retailers nationwide are suing the manufacturer amid claims that fiberglass fibers in the product have damaged their health. Zinus, Inc., is fielding multiple lawsuits over its “Green Tea Mattress." Among the claims is a proposed class-action lawsuit led by a California woman who is representing several thousand people. "It's not hyperbole to say that this has ravaged thousands of individuals' lives from across the United States," James Radcliffe, a personal injury lawyer with Cueto Law, told the Los Angeles Times.Radcliffe’s firm started a 2020 lawsuit on behalf of Amanda Chandler and Robert Durham of Illinois, who said they spent months in a hotel and paid more than...
With Smartwatch, Cardiac Rehab at Home May Work Best
30 August 2022
TUESDAY, Aug. 30, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A new smartwatch could be a key player in preventing heart attacks among people suffering from risky heart conditions, a new study claims.Using the smartwatch to track their heart health, patients in a home-based cardiac rehab program were more than 20% less likely to land in the hospital than patients trekking to a medical facility several times a week for their rehab, researchers found.Patients armed with the smartwatch were also more likely to follow through on their exercise program, which was tailored to their lifestyles based on the data feed from their device, said lead researcher Dr. Chileshe Nkonde-Price, a cardiologist at the Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center.“We showed that home-based digital virtual cardiac rehab...
