Vaccines Have Slashed Rates of HPV Infection in Young American Women
MONDAY, Aug. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Back in 2006, doctors began recommending the first vaccine for the common sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV), with the shots carrying the potential to lower the risk of certain cancers.Now, a new study shows the vaccine has been wildly effective, nearly eliminating the prevalence of the two most dangerous strains of the virus among young women by 2016.Importantly, it didn’t just benefit the young women who received the HPV vaccine: It also provided herd immunity, with prevalence rates lower even among those who weren’t vaccinated as the virus was stymied from circulating as widely. “Before vaccine introduction, the predicted probability of prevalence was quite high, 15%,†said study author Ashish Deshmukh, associate...
Are You Among the 'Diet-Resistant'? Workouts May Be Key...
22 August 2022
MONDAY, Aug. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- "You can't run from the fork."It's an old weight-loss saying, reminding folks that diet is more important than exercise when it comes to shedding excess pounds.But is that true for everyone? New research suggests there's a category of "diet-resistant" people who need to work out and watch what they eat if they want to shed pounds.In fact, these folks should prioritize exercise, because it decreases their fat mass and boosts their muscles' ability to burn calories, the Canadian study concluded.“We found that the slow losers responded much better to exercise than the fast losers did," said senior study author Mary-Ellen Harper. She is research chair of mitochondrial bioenergetics at the University of Ottawa. "We hope these findings will allow a...
Wendy's Pulls Lettuce From Sandwiches Over Possible Link...
22 August 2022
MONDAY, Aug 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) - - Amid an E. coli outbreak that has sickened at least 37 people in four states, the Wendy's fast food chain has removed romaine lettuce from its sandwiches in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania."A specific food has not yet been confirmed as the source of this outbreak, but many sick people reported eating sandwiches with romaine lettuce at Wendy’s restaurants in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania before getting sick," the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement issued Friday on the outbreak."Based on this information, Wendy’s is taking the precautionary measure of removing the romaine lettuce being used in sandwiches from restaurants in that region." the agency added. "Investigators are working to confirm whether romaine...
First Lady Jill Biden Leaves Isolation After Testing...
22 August 2022
MONDAY, Aug. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- After testing positive for COVID-19 last week, First Lady Jill Biden left isolation on Sunday following two negative test results.She had been isolating on Kiawah Island, S.C., where she had tested positive while vacationing there with her husband, President Joe Biden, and their family, the Associated Press reported. He contracted COVID last month and suffered a rebound case after taking the antiviral pill Paxlovid in early August. Jill Biden was fully vaccinated and boosted, and she was also prescribed Paxlovid and isolated for five days. She rejoined her husband in their Rehobeth Beach, Del., home on Sunday.Jill Biden first tested positive for COVID-19 last Tuesday."After testing negative for COVID-19 on Monday during her regular testing...
Many Who Need Opioid OD Antidote the Most Can't Afford It
22 August 2022
MONDAY, Aug. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Naloxone is a lifesaving antidote to an opioid overdose, but it may be priced too high for those most vulnerable to opioid-related death, a new study finds.Between 2014 and 2018, naloxone costs rose 500% for those without insurance, while out-of-pocket costs for the medication dropped 26% for people with insurance, the researchers reported.The insured were paying an average cost of $27 in 2014, but that dropped to $18 by 2018. For the uninsured, prices rose from $35 to $250, the investigators found. “Federal and state policies have regularly targeted legal barriers to accessing naloxone, with less emphasis on financial barriers,†said study author Evan Peet, an economist at RAND Corp., a nonprofit research organization. “These results...
Want to Maintain Muscle? Frequency of Workouts Is Key
22 August 2022
MONDAY, Aug. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Whether the goal is bulging biceps or just a bit more strength and mass, a relatively light workout several times a week beats a more intense one done just once a week.That’s the conclusion of a small Australian study in which researchers spent a month tracking muscle-building progress among 36 college students.“We have shown that a very small amount of exercise is still effective to increase muscle strength,†as long as it's done frequently, said study author Ken Kazunori Nosaka, lead professor of exercise and sports science at Edith Cowan University in Joondalup, Australia.“So we hope,†he added, “that this would encourage people to start a daily exercise from a small amount. It is not difficult to find a time for daily...
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Cleanup Put Workers at Risk for Asthma
22 August 2022
MONDAY, Aug. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Workers who cleaned up the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico were more likely than others to have developed asthma or related symptoms, a long-term follow-up shows."This is the first study to ever look at specific chemicals from oil spills and link them to respiratory diseases," said study co-author Dale Sandler, of the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). "If you were an oil spill cleanup worker in the gulf experiencing wheezing or other asthma-like symptoms, it would be good to let your health care provider know you worked on the oil spill," Sandler said in an agency news release.BP's Deepwater Horizon spill was the largest marine oil spill in U.S. history. The Gulf Long-Term Follow-up Study,...
Why Coffee & Cigarette Is a Morning Ritual for Millions
22 August 2022
MONDAY, Aug. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Smokers in the throes of nicotine withdrawal when they wake up in the morning may crave not just a cigarette but a cup of coffee along with it.Science can explain that.Researchers have identified two compounds in coffee that directly affect certain nicotine receptors in the brain.Study author Roger Papke, a pharmacology professor in the University of Florida College of Medicine, said he wondered why the two habits seemed to go hand in hand, similar to the way people enjoy both alcohol and tobacco in the evening."Many people look for coffee in the morning because of the caffeine. But was the coffee doing anything else to smokers? We wanted to know if there were other things in coffee that were affecting the brain's nicotine receptors," Papke...
