84 People Now Sickened in E. Coli Outbreak Tied to Wendy's Restaurant Lettuce
FRIDAY, Aug 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) - - A total of 84 people across four 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 19, 2022, 47 more illnesses have been reported to CDC," the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in an updated statement released Thursday. That includes 53 cases in Michigan, 23 cases in Ohio, 6 in Indiana and 2 in Pennsylvania. Illnesses from infection with the gastrointestinal bacterium have often been severe. "Thirty-eight people have been hospitalized, including 8 people in Michigan who have a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome," the CDC said, although "no deaths have been reported."The exact...
Heat Waves That Threaten Lives Will Be Common by 2100
26 August 2022
FRIDAY, Aug. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Life-threatening heat waves will become more common by the end of this century, according to a new study.A “dangerous†heat index — what the temperature feels like when humidity and air temperature are combined — is defined by the National Weather Service (NWS) as 103 degrees Fahrenheit. NWS defines “extremely dangerous†as 124 degrees F – unsafe to humans for any amount of time.Crossing the “dangerous†threshold will be three to 10 times more common by 2100 in the United States, even if countries manage to meet the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to just 2 degrees Celsius (or 3.6 F), researchers report. And in a worst-case scenario where emissions remain unchecked, “extremely dangerous†conditions could...
Scientists Create Synthetic Mouse Embryo With Brain,...
26 August 2022
FRIDAY, Aug. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Using only mouse stem cells, British researchers report they have created synthetic embryos that form a brain, a beating heart and other organs.The stem cells organized themselves until they developed beating hearts and the foundations of the brain and yolk sacs where the embryo gets nutrients in its first weeks. Unlike other synthetic embryos, these stem cells reached a point where the whole brain began to develop. This is the most that has been achieved in any other stem cell mode, the scientists noted.The research could help in understanding why some embryos fail while others go on to develop into a healthy pregnancy, and it might also be used to guide the repair and development of synthetic human organs for transplant."Our mouse embryo...
Too Few U.S. Cities Have Good Hurricane Evacuation Plans
26 August 2022
FRIDAY, Aug. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- This year's hurricane season has been quiet so far, but if and when it cranks up many American cities won't be prepared to execute mass evacuations, a new study finds. After Hurricane Katrina slammed into New Orleans in 2005, the country bore witness to the pitfalls of not having an effective evacuation plan. Since then only marginal improvements have been made in the 50 largest U.S. cities, researchers report.For the study, they reviewed city emergency plans from the time frame after Katrina and before the COVID-19 pandemic. The researchers scored the 50 cities based on a rating system that includes four designations: weak, 0-4 points; moderate, 5-7 points; strong, 8-10 points; and N/A, plans that were not reviewed.The researchers found that...
Smoking Can Really Weaken the Heart
26 August 2022
FRIDAY, Aug. 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Smoking is even worse for your heart than you might already think, new Danish research warns."It is well known that smoking causes blocked arteries, leading to coronary heart disease and stroke," said researcher Dr. Eva Holt, of Herlev and Gentofte Hospital in Copenhagen. "Our study shows that smoking also leads to thicker, weaker hearts," she said. "It means that smokers have a smaller volume of blood in the left heart chamber and less power to pump it out to the rest of the body. The more you smoke, the worse your heart function becomes."What's the good news? "The heart can recuperate to some degree with smoking cessation, so it is never too late to quit," Holt added.For the study, the researchers collected data on nearly 4,000 men and women...
New MS Treatment Shows Promise in Trial
25 August 2022
THURSDAY, Aug. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental antibody therapy for multiple sclerosis can cut symptom flare-ups by half, versus a standard treatment, a new clinical trial has found.The drug, called ublituximab, beat a standard oral medication for MS in reducing patients' relapses — periods of new or worsening symptoms. It also proved better at preventing areas of inflammatory damage in the brain.Ublituximab is not yet approved for treating MS; the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reviewing the trial data and is expected to make a decision by the year's end, according to drugmaker TG Therapeutics.If approved, ublituximab would be the latest in a newer group of MS therapies called anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies: lab-engineered antibodies that target specific immune...
Get Moving! Any Sports Can Lower Seniors' Odds of Early Death
25 August 2022
THURSDAY, Aug. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Here's a fresh prescription for seniors who want to live longer and lower their odds of dying from cancer or heart disease: Lace up your running shoes or grab your tennis racket.A new U.S. National Cancer Institute study found older folks who played racquet sports lowered their risk of death by 16% over a 12-year follow-up. Running cut the risk by 15%.Daily walking, jogging, swimming laps and playing tennis are some of the sports researchers looked at, but, they said, any moderate physical activity done weekly will do the trick."It's never too late to start," said lead researcher Eleanor Watts, a postdoctoral fellow. "So if you're inactive and you're older, you can still reap substantial rewards by increasing physical activity."Exercise...
AHA News: Newborn Was 'Very Sick Little Boy' Despite Several Normal Prenatal Ultrasounds
25 August 2022
THURSDAY, Aug. 25, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- With three children over the age of 10, Delaware couple Mark and Jenn Parrish thought they might be finished growing their family. Finding out Jenn was pregnant was a pleasant surprise."It was more of a surprise when we saw the ultrasound and there were two heartbeats!" she said.At 34, Jenn was considered high-risk. She underwent multiple ultrasounds to examine the babies' organs, including all four chambers of their hearts. All went well every time.On May 29, 2021, daughter Elina arrived first, healthy and screaming. Son Marcus cried a little but wasn't as lively. A few hours later, Jenn noticed her newborn son was lethargic, less and less interested in nursing, and starting to breathe rapidly."I instantly knew something was...
