AHA News: Shift Workers With High Blood Pressure May Face Higher Heart Disease, Diabetes Risk
MONDAY, Aug. 29, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- People with high blood pressure may be at higher risk for developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes if they work frequent night shifts, new research suggests.The higher risk was more pronounced among people who also slept too much or too little when they weren't working, according to the findings published Monday in the Journal of the American Heart Association.The research builds on previous studies showing an association between shift work and a higher risk for cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, also called hypertension, in people who were otherwise healthy.The new study is the first to investigate the role of shift work in the progression from high blood pressure – a single...
All-in-One 'Polypill' Gets Heart Patients Taking Their Meds
29 August 2022
MONDAY, Aug 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- In a finding that proves convenience is key when it comes to sticking to a medication regimen, new research shows that combining three heart drugs into one "polypill" slashes the risk of dying from a second heart attack by 33%."The results of the SECURE study show that for the first time that the polypill, which contains aspirin, ramipril [an ACE inhibitor], and atorvastatin [Lipitor], achieves clinically relevant reductions in the recurrent cardiovascular events among people who have recovered from a previous heart attack because of better adherence to this simplified approach with a simple polypill," said lead researcher Dr. Valentin Fuster. He is director of Mount Sinai Heart and physician-in-chief of Mount Sinai Hospital in New York...
Child ER Visits for Swallowed Button Batteries Doubled...
29 August 2022
MONDAY, Aug. 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Trista Hamsmith’s 18-month-old daughter, Reese, died after swallowing a button battery that slipped out of a remote control in the fall of 2020, and the mom-turned-advocate has spent the past two years trying to make sure no other child dies this way.Her hard work is paying off: President Joe Biden signed Reese’s Law in mid-August, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission will soon require companies to use warning labels as well as childproof packaging for button and coin cell batteries that are sold separately.“I am thankful to get this done and have changes made to protect kids in the future,†said the Lubbock, Texas, resident who also started Reese’s Purpose, a foundation that educates parents on safety issues.Now, new...
Black Men Less Likely to Get Monkeypox Vaccine
29 August 2022
MONDAY, Aug. 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Although there's now enough monkeypox vaccine to go around, the Americans who need it most still may not be getting it, a new report shows.Only 10% of the Jynneos vaccine doses have been given to Black people, even though they make up a third of U.S. cases, new data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows.The latest statistics were only able to be gathered from 17 states and two cities, but similar disparities have already been reported by a few states and cities. So far, the monkeypox outbreak has largely affected gay and bisexual men.The United States has the most infections of any country -- over 17,000. About 98% of U.S. cases are men and about 93% were men who reported recent sexual contact with other men. No one in...
Hypertension in Pregnancy Is Getting More Common for Gen Z Women
29 August 2022
MONDAY, Aug. 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Gen Zers and millennials are about twice as likely to develop high blood pressure during pregnancy than women from the baby boom generation were, a new study finds. This includes conditions such as preeclampsia and gestational hypertension.It's usually believed that the odds of developing high blood pressure during pregnancy rise with the age of the mother, but after taking age into account, researchers discovered that women born in and after 1981 were still at greater risk."While there are many reasons for the generational changes observed, we hypothesize that this is, in large part, due to the observed generational decline in heart health," said study co-author Dr. Sadiya Khan, an assistant professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School...
School Sports Are Starting Again: Know the Signs of Concussion
28 August 2022
SUNDAY, Aug. 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As high school sports get underway this fall, sports medicine specialists remind athletes, parents and coaches that concussions can be challenging to diagnose.Dr. Sean Bradley, a primary care sports medicine physician at Ochsner Health in Baton Rouge, La., emphasizes that neither lab tests nor imaging techniques can determine whether a concussion has occurred.“A diagnosis is generally based off of symptoms at the time of the injury, a physical exam on the sideline and how the injury took place,†Bradley said. “And no two concussions are ever the same. Even if an athlete suffers another concussion, he or she can have totally different symptoms that require a completely different treatment model from the previous injury.â€More than 173,000...
What Do You Know About Your Risk for Hernia?
27 August 2022
SATURDAY, Aug. 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Could you be at risk for a hernia? One expert gives the lowdown on hernias, who is most at risk for them, and how they are typically treated.Dr. Harvey Rainville, a general surgeon at Hackensack Meridian Mountainside Medical Center in New Jersey, said a hernia is a defect or opening in your muscle layer through which an organ, such as your intestines, can poke through during or after strenuous activity.Activities such as bowel movements, coughing, sneezing, laughing and bending increase pressure in the abdomen and can force an organ or tissue to squeeze through the opening. It is not uncommon for a hernia to "pop out" and then return to what looks like normal, but a hernia that’s disappeared should still be taken seriously, Rainville said...
Gay Men Are Cutting Back on Sex to Avoid Monkeypox
26 August 2022
FRIDAY, Aug. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A survey conducted among American gay and bisexual men in early August found about half saying they'd cut down on sexual activity -- including one-night stands and app-based hookups -- in response to the global monkeypox outbreak.The survey, conducted online Aug. 5-15, was led by Kevin Delaney, of the Monkeypox Emergency Response Team at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."These findings suggest that men who have sex with men are already taking actions to protect their sexual health and making decisions to reduce risk to themselves and their partners," Delaney's team reported. The timing of the survey -- and its finding that America's gay male community reacted swiftly to the monkeypox threat -- coincides with a recent global...
