Helmets Protect Young Lacrosse Players, Study Finds
THURSDAY, Aug. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A rule requiring high school girls who play lacrosse to wear protective headgear is paying big dividends in Florida.Their risk of concussion is lower than that of players in states without such a mandate, a new study reports. Most states let players decide whether or not to wear protective helmets.The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) announced in June that it would take a greater role in the rules-writing process with USA Lacrosse. The announcement fueled speculation about a possible helmet mandate.Girls’ lacrosse is the nation's fastest-growing high school sport. Before the pandemic, participation had jumped nearly 54% over a decade, according to a team led by Dr. Daniel Herman, director of sports medicine...
Pill to Counter Lupus Shows Promise in Mouse Study
25 August 2022
THURSDAY, Aug. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental new pill could boost treatment of the autoimmune disease lupus, researchers reported at the American Chemical Society's annual meeting.The pill has been shown in mouse studies to inhibit lupus symptoms, reverse signs of organ damage, and prevent death, researchers said.Phase 2 human clinical trials are underway for the oral compound, which has been named afimetoran. Results of human trials often differ from studies in animals.Lupus occurs when the immune system turns on the body, and is estimated to affect 5 million people around the world. Symptoms include rashes, extreme fatigue, pain and severe organ damage.The disorder is suspected to be caused by a malfunction of receptor proteins that normally activate the immune system...
There's More MS in Northern Countries. Now, Researchers...
25 August 2022
THURSDAY, Aug. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Vitamin D exposure, or lack of it, has long been thought to influence the risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) because the disease is diagnosed more often in people in northern countries. However, new research suggests there might be an additional reason why there are fewer cases of MS in southern countries: There are more undiagnosed cases there because of lower health care spending. With lower levels of health care spending, people may have less access to neurologists who have the expertise to diagnose MS and the MRI scans that are needed to make the diagnosis, said study author Dr. Deanna Saylor. She's from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore and a member of the American Academy of Neurology.Saylor and her...
Steps to Long Life: Short Walk Each Day Helps Folks Over 85
25 August 2022
THURSDAY, Aug. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- It’s never too late to benefit from regular walks.A new study suggests that a 10-minute daily stroll can prolong life in folks well into their 80s and beyond.“Adults are less likely to meet activity recommendations as they get older,†said study author Dr. Moo-Nyun Jin of Inje University Sanggye Paik Hospital in Seoul, South Korea. “Our study suggests that walking at least one hour every week is beneficial for people aged 85 years and older.â€Though people tend to be more inactive as they age, the U.S. government says all adults should get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous activity.For this new study, Jin's team looked at links between walking and the risks of death from...

24 August 2022
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- After testing negative for COVID-19 and leaving isolation last Sunday, First Lady Jill Biden again tested positive for the virus on Wednesday."After testing negative on Tuesday, just now, the First Lady has tested positive for COVID-19 by antigen testing," the First Lady's Deputy Communications Director Kelsey Donohue said in a statement. "This represents a “rebound†positivity.""The First Lady has experienced no reemergence of symptoms, and will remain in Delaware where she has reinitiated isolation procedures," Donohue added. "The White House Medical Unit has conducted contact tracing and close contacts have been notified."Biden had returned to public life on Sunday, after isolating on Kiawah Island, S.C., where she first tested...
Magic Mushroom Hallucinogen May Treat Problem Drinking
24 August 2022
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Jon Kostas, a lifelong resident of New York City, started bar-hopping at age 13. At the height of his alcoholism, he was consuming as many as 30 drinks a night.Desperate for a way out, Kostas, 32, turned to a new therapy: psilocybin -- the psychedelic compound found in so-called "magic mushrooms.""It definitely affected my life, and I like to say it saved my life," said Kostas, who had his first psilocybin treatment session in March 2015.He's not the only one being helped. A new study suggests that psilocybin might be better at helping alcoholics give up booze than any current treatments, researchers say.The study reported that two doses of the drug reduced drinking by 83% on average among heavy drinkers when combined with...
People Underestimate Impact of Random Acts of Kindness
24 August 2022
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Buying someone a cup of coffee might seem like no big deal, but a new study shows that small acts of kindness have a bigger impact than people believe.In a series of experiments, researchers found that those on the receiving end of a kind gesture typically appreciated it more than the giver anticipated. One reason, the findings suggest, may be that recipients feel the warmth behind the gesture, while the giver often overlooks that.The implication, experts said, is fairly straightforward: If you have an opportunity to be kind, take it."You might think it's a small thing," said researcher Amit Kumar. "But for the recipient, its meaning goes beyond the thing you're giving."Being kind does take a bit of awareness and effort; it's more than...
Vaginal or C-Section, Method of Childbirth Won't Affect a Couple's Sex Life Later
24 August 2022
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Childbirth shouldn’t put any dent in your future lovin’, regardless of the way your baby was delivered, new research assures.Sexual enjoyment isn’t affected at all by method of delivery in the years following childbirth, according to a study involving the mothers of more than 14,000 babies born in the United Kingdom between April 1991 and December 1992.The study was prompted by suggestions that Cesarean section births might maintain sexual well-being better than vaginal delivery, due to the reduced risk of tearing and preservation of vaginal tone, the researchers said.Prior research has found little difference in how the two types of delivery affect a couple's sex life, but these studies usually covered only the six months following...
