Michigan Officials Puzzled by Mysterious Deaths of 30 Dogs
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Health authorities are investigating a parvovirus-like illness that has killed more than 30 dogs in northern Michigan, most within three days.The dogs died in Otsego County after showing symptoms such as vomiting and bloody stool, signs of canine parvovirus, but tests were negative for the virus, according to a Facebook posting by the Otsego County Animal Shelter. Parvovirus in dogs is highly contagious and attacks the gastrointestinal tract, with unvaccinated dogs and puppies younger than 4 months old at highest risk.The disease was first seen in Europe around 1976 but became less frequent after a vaccine was developed. It can spread by direct dog-to-dog contact or contact with contaminated feces or environments.The first cases in the...
AHA News: People With Dementia May Be Less Likely to...
24 August 2022
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 24, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Among people having the most common type of stroke – one caused by a blood vessel blockage – those with dementia appear less likely than others to receive an advanced clot removal treatment, a large new study reports.The treatment, called mechanical thrombectomy, uses a device to remove a clot from a large vessel to restore blood flow to the brain. Mechanical thrombectomy has a "significant absolute benefit" for stroke patients with a large vessel blockage, especially when used within six hours of symptom onset, research has shown.In the new study, acute ischemic strokes – those caused by a blockage of blood flow to the brain – tended to be more disabling in the group with dementia. Yet just 3.4% of those patients...
COVID Boosters Targeted to Latest Variants Could Be...
24 August 2022
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The Biden Administration plans to roll out updated booster shots that target Omicron variants shortly after Labor Day, in an effort to protect Americans against a possible winter surge in COVID-19 cases.Dr. Peter Marks, the top vaccine regulator for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, told the New York Times on Tuesday that his team was close to approving the updated doses for emergency use.Although these newest boosters have only been tested in mice so far, Marks said the agency has “extremely good†data showing that the shots are safe and will be effective. “How confident am I?†he said. “I’m extremely confident.â€Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden's chief medical adviser, told the Times Tuesday that using animal data was...
America's Love Affair With Sleeping Pills May Be Waning
24 August 2022
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Fewer Americans are turning to sleep medications to fight insomnia.After a dramatic rise in prescriptions for drugs like Ambien, the trend has ebbed, according to a new study, and fewer doctors are prescribing sleep medications. Use of these sleep aids dropped 31% between 2013 and 2018, researchers found."There are several possible reasons for this decline; for example, there's a greater awareness of the potential dangers in the use of these medications," said lead researcher Christopher Kaufmann. He's an assistant professor in the Department of Health Outcomes and Biomedical Informatics at the University of Florida."Also, there's been a recent upsurge in behavioral treatments for improving sleep that don't have the potential adverse...
Pfizer COVID Shots 73% Protective in Kids Under 5
24 August 2022
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Pfizer's modified COVID-19 vaccine for use in children under 5 was 73% effective in shielding them from infection during the Omicron surge this spring, company data released Tuesday shows.The specially formulated doses for America's youngest children were approved for distribution in June, although the American Academy of Pediatrics says uptake has been low. Just 6% of children under 5 had gotten immunized by mid-August, the group said.At the time of approval, the only studies supporting their use in small children were based on levels of antibodies triggered by the shots. The new data shows that the Pfizer vaccine does appear to protect young kids well against symptomatic COVID-19.In the new study -- conducted between March and June of this...
Certain Painkillers Raise Heart Failure Risk in People With Type 2 Diabetes
24 August 2022
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- People with type 2 diabetes might face a substantially increased risk of heart failure if they take ibuprofen or some other type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), a new Danish study indicates.Short-term NSAID use increased risk of hospitalization for heart failure by 43% among over 331,000 people in Denmark who had type 2 diabetes but no previous heart problems, according to research presented Tuesday at the European Society of Cardiology's annual meeting, in Barcelona. Such research is considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.NSAIDs increased the risk of heart failure even more in type 2 diabetics who were 80 or older (78%) or who had high blood sugar levels (68%), the results showed. Those who'd never...
Poor Sleep Can Make Folks Selfish, Study Finds
24 August 2022
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The health risks of losing sleep are well known, ranging from heart disease to depression, but who knew that too little sleep can also make you selfish?That's the takeaway of new research from the University of California, Berkeley."This new work demonstrates that a lack of sleep not only damages the health of an individual, but degrades social interactions between individuals and, furthermore, degrades the very fabric of human society itself," said Matthew Walker, director of the university's Center for Human Sleep Science. "How we operate as a social species — and we are a social species — seems profoundly dependent on how much sleep we are getting.â€Walker and co-author Eti Ben Simon, a postdoctoral fellow in psychology, noted that a...
As Pandemic Eases, It's Boom Times for Cosmetic Surgeons
24 August 2022
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Even after dropping 25 pounds, Megan Gilbert still had some insecurities when she looked in the mirror."After breastfeeding two kids and losing weight, my breasts no longer looked how I wanted them to," she said. "And I thought, 'Why be unhappy with this one part of my body after working so hard to make all these other improvements in my life?'"So Gilbert, 35, did something about it, joining a fast-growing group of American women under 45 who are getting cosmetic surgery. Nearly 30% of practices that specialize in cosmetic plastic surgery have seen demand for their services double since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a survey by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).“With COVID, we prepared for the worst. But...
