Cases of Advanced Cervical Cancer Keep Rising Among U.S. Women
FRIDAY, Aug. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- New research points to a conundrum with cervical cancer: While rates of early-stage disease have been dropping in the United States ever since the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine was introduced, advanced cases have been on the rise.Which women are being hit the hardest? The steepest uptick in advanced cervical cancer is occurring in white women who didn’t get the HPV shot and who weren’t up-to-date with their screening tests, a finding that suggests vaccination works but more women need to get the shots.Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2006, the HPV shot protects against certain strains of HPV, the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. HPV has been linked to several cancers, including...
Major Gene Study Spots DNA Tied to Autism, Other Disorders
19 August 2022
FRIDAY, Aug. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- More than 70 genes are very strongly associated with autism and more than 250 are linked to the condition, a major new genetic analysis has revealed.The analysis is the largest of its kind to date, involving more than 150,000 participants, including 20,000 diagnosed with autism.The researchers found that genes linked predominantly to developmental delay tend to be active in early development of neurons (nerve cells), while autism-related genes tend to play a role in more mature neurons.The investigators also found that, among individuals with schizophrenia, genes strongly associated with autism were more likely to be associated with genes that increase a person’s risk of schizophrenia.“These analyses indicate that there are shared genetic...
AHA News: How You Feel About Aging Could Affect Health....
19 August 2022
FRIDAY, Aug. 19, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Is age really just a state of mind?Perhaps not the number, but how we age might be. A growing body of research suggests a person's mindset – how they feel about growing old – may predict how much longer and how well they live as the years go by.Several studies over the past 20 years suggest people with more positive attitudes about aging live longer, healthier lives than those with negative perceptions of the aging process. Recently, a large nationwide study of nearly 14,000 adults over age 50 took an even deeper look into the ways in which positive thinking about aging could impact a person's physical health, health behaviors and psychological well-being.Published in JAMA Network Open, the study found those with the...
Breakthrough Might Break Down PFAS 'Forever Chemicals'
19 August 2022
FRIDAY, Aug. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- PFAS compounds are known as “forever chemicals†because they degrade slowly in the environment and accumulate in the body, potentially harming human and animal health.Bacteria can’t eat them. Fire can’t incinerate them. Water can’t dilute them.Instead, these per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances break down on their own schedule, posing a potential health hazard for generations to come.Until now.A team of researchers say they’ve figured out a cheap, easy and effective way to break down two of the major classes of PFAS compounds, leaving behind harmless end products.The new process uses two readily available chemicals — lye and dimethyl sulfoxide — to break down PFAS compounds that are capped with carbon dioxide, according to the...
Brain-Eating Amoeba May Have Caused Nebraska Child's Death
19 August 2022
FRIDAY, Aug. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) – The death of a child in Nebraska was likely caused by an infection with a “brain-eating amoeba†that occurred after the child swam in a local river, state health officials announced this week.In a news release, officials said it was the first such death ever reported in the state's history. Known as Naegleria fowleri, the amoeba can cause primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a brain infection that is extremely rare, but nearly always fatal."Millions of recreational water exposures occur each year, while only 0 to 8 Naegleria fowleri infections are identified each year," state epidemiologist Dr. Matthew Donahue noted in the news release. "Infections typically occur later in the summer, in warmer water with slower flow, in July,...
FDA Issues Warning to Maker of Illegal Nicotine Gummies
19 August 2022
FRIDAY, Aug. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday warned a maker of nicotine gummies to stop marketing what is an illegal product.In what is a first-of-its-kind warning, the agency said it considers these gummies particularly concerning because they resemble candy and can cause severe nicotine toxicity or death if young children eat them. "Nicotine gummies are a public health crisis just waiting to happen among our nation's youth, particularly as we head into a new school year," FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said in an agency news release on the warning. "We want parents to be aware of these products and the potential for health consequences for children of all ages – including toxicity to young children and appeal of these addictive...
Moving Away From Opioids to Treat Dental Pain
19 August 2022
FRIDAY, Aug. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Many opioid abusers cite short-term, legitimate use of an opioid for relief of joint or dental pain as their "gateway" into addiction.Now, research done at one New York State clinic finds that dentists can cut their use of opioids down to zero, using other painkillers for patients instead. The end result: "No opioids were prescribed for dental pain from March 2021 to February 2022," reported a team of dentists at the University of Rochester Medical Center. "Considering that 1,800 patients received more than 20,000 opioid pills annually in our clinic before implementation of the opioid reduction strategy, eliminating opioid prescriptions may mean that approximately 105 individuals annually will not develop new and persistent opioid use...
Pious Parasites: Medieval Monks Battled Nasty Gut Germs
19 August 2022
FRIDAY, Aug. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Medieval monks were much more wormy than average folks, a new archaeological analysis has revealed.Those living in medieval Cambridge were nearly twice as likely to be infected by intestinal parasites as city dwellers, researchers found.Even though Augustinian friars had access to advanced sanitation for the time, nearly 60% were infested with worms, compared to about 30% of ordinary working people, according to the new report.“The friars of medieval Cambridge appear to have been riddled with parasites,†said study author Piers Mitchell, of the University of Cambridge’s department of archaeology. “This is the first time anyone has attempted to work out how common parasites were in people following different lifestyles in the same...
