VA Hospitals See Steep, Steady Rise in Heat-Related Illnesses
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Heat domes and extreme heat waves have been battering the United States for years now, and a new study shows that increasing temperatures are doing real harm to humans.A significant increase in heat-related illnesses like heat stroke and heat exhaustion has occurred during the past two decades among patients treated at U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) health facilities, VA researchers have found.“There is now statistical evidence to show that heat-related illnesses are on the rise, all things considered, and those patients that are older and sicker are the most likely to have a poor outcome,†said study co-author Zachary Veigulis, chief data scientist for the VA’s National Center for Collaborative Healthcare Innovation.With a...
U.S. Heart Deaths Linked to Obesity Have Tripled in 20 Years
6 September 2023
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Obesity taxes many parts of the body, but new research suggests the heart might take the hardest hit of all.Between 1999 and 2020, deaths from heart disease linked to obesity tripled in the United States, and some groups were more vulnerable than others.Specifically, Black adults had some of the highest rates of obesity-related heart disease deaths, with the highest percentage of deaths seen in Black women.The new study was published Sept. 6 in the Journal of the American Heart Association.“Our study is the first to demonstrate that this increasing burden of obesity is translating into rising heart disease deaths,†study author Dr. Zahra Raisi-Estabragh, a cardiologist and clinical lecturer at the William Harvey Research Institute in...
CDC Warns of Rise in RSV Cases Among Young Children, Infants
6 September 2023
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Doctors are seeing a spike in severe cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) among young children in Florida and Georgia, U.S. health officials warned Tuesday.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent an advisory to doctors, noting that regional increases usually predict the beginning of RSV season, "with increased RSV activity spreading north and west over the following 2–3 months."RSV infections can be quite serious in young children, leading to as many as 300 deaths in those under 5 each year, according to the CDC. About 2 million doctor visits and 80,000 hospitalizations are also attributed to RSV in young kids.RSV-related hospitalizations in Georgia rose from 2 in 100,000 children ages 4 and younger to 7 per 100,000...
Did the Pandemic Change Babies' Microbiomes?
6 September 2023
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Infants whose first year of life unfolded during the pandemic appear to have fewer types of bacteria in their gut than infants born before COVID-19 raced across the planet, a new study suggests. Specifically, these pandemic babies had lower amounts of Pasteurellaceae and Haemophilus -- bacteria that can cause various infections -- and significantly different bacteria diversity, the researchers said.The differences may have been caused by the social changes of the pandemic, with infants spending more time at home and less time in day care interacting with other children. Also, increased hygiene measures, dietary changes, breastfeeding practices and increased caregiver stress may have played a role, the authors speculated. "The COVID-19...
Many Strains of a Dangerous Foodborne Bacteria Are Now Antibiotic-Resistant
6 September 2023
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- New research on a leading cause of foodborne illness has linked a large share of Michigan infections to antibiotic-resistant bacteria strains.More than 100 strains of Campylobacter jejuni circulating in Michigan are resistant to at least one antibiotic, according to researchers from Michigan State University (MSU) and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. More than half of C. jejuni isolated from patients was genetically protected against at least one antibiotic used to fight bacterial infections, they said.Their study identified a high frequency of antibiotic resistance genes within the C. jejuni genome. Most were linked to chicken or cattle.Researchers called the high prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes concerning...
Warm Waters Raise Risk for Flesh-Eating Bacteria. Here's Tips to Stay Safe
6 September 2023
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- As waters warm across the United States and hurricanes and flooding season begins, the odds of being infected by flesh-eating bacteria are also rising, U.S. health officials warn. According to a Sept. 1 health alert from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a dozen types of the bacteria called Vibrio cause an estimated 80,000 such illnesses each year. One particular type of bacteria, Vibrio vulnificus, can cause life-threatening "flesh eating" infections. About 150 to 200 of these infections are reported each year and about one in five of those infected die; sometimes within a day or two after becoming ill, the CDC noted in a news release.Vibrio bacteria thrive in warmer water, especially during the summer months and when...
Cancers Among the Young Are Rising Worldwide
6 September 2023
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Cancer is surging among people under 50, a new global study reveals.Over the past 30 years, new cases have increased 79% worldwide in that age bracket, according to a report published Sept. 5 in BMJ Oncology. The fastest rising cancers are in the windpipe and prostate, and most deaths have been from breast, windpipe, lung, bowel and stomach cancer, the researchers found.Cancer tends to be more common in older people, but cases in those under 50 have been rising in many parts of the world since the 1990s, the researchers noted. They drew on the Global Burden of Disease database, which includes data for 29 cancers in 204 countries and regions.A team led by Xue Li, a research associate at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, conducted the...
Fitter Folks Need Fewer Psychiatric Meds, Study Finds
6 September 2023
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Being fit doesn’t just help your body -- it also helps your mind, a new study reports.People in better physical condition appear to have less need for drugs to treat mood disorders, Norwegian researchers have found.“We find that people who are in better shape fill fewer prescriptions for anxiety and depression medications,†said senior author Linda Ernstsen, an associate professor of public health and nursing at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim.For the study, researchers analyzed data from the Trøndelag Health Study, which has gathered health data since 1984 for more than 250,000 residents of that Norwegian county.The research group compared that data with information from the Norwegian Prescribed Drug...
