Cheap, Same-Day Test Could Help Spot Miscarriage Risk
THURSDAY, Aug. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A new and inexpensive same-day test could help pregnant women learn if their developing fetus has genetic problems that increase their risk of miscarriage.The Short-read Transpore Rapid Karyotyping (STORK) test can detect extra or missing chromosomes using samples collected from standard prenatal tests like amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling, a new study found.The test also can be used to assess embryos produced using in vitro fertilization, prior to their implantation.A team led by Brynn Levy and Dr. Zev Williams of Columbia University Irving Medical Center compared STORK against standard methods of genetic analysis. They tested 218 samples and found that STORK had an accuracy rate of 98% to 100%.In another set of 60 samples, STORK...
Taking a Shot at Pain Relief After Knee Replacement
18 August 2022
THURSDAY, Aug. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers may have found a new way to help ease the pain of knee replacement surgery: infusing morphine directly into the shin bone.The findings come from a recent study of 48 patients undergoing total knee replacement. The investigators found that giving a morphine injection into the shin bone during the operation controlled patients' post-surgery pain better than standard treatment alone.It also lessened their reliance on potentially addictive opioid pain medications.For now, the tactic is only being done at a limited number of medical centers. So people having their knees replaced in the near future are unlikely to have it as an option.But there is no reason the approach could not be widely adopted, according to senior researcher Dr....
Hispanic Americans' Suicide Rates Are Rising
18 August 2022
THURSDAY, Aug. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Suicide is a major public health issue for all Americans, but new research suggests it is a particularly pressing problem for Hispanics.Between 2010 and 2020, the suicide rate among Hispanic adults increased by more than 70%, while the Hispanic population in the United States only grew by about 25%, the researchers reported.Study author Dr. Jagdish Khubchandani, a professor of public health sciences at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, called that a disproportionate escalation. “I think that, for me, the biggest surprise is that there have not been a few years where we saw a decline. It has been a constant increase, number one,†Khubchandani said. “Number two, I think this study is showing how prejudice and bias affects...
CDC Investigating E. Coli Outbreak in Michigan, Ohio
18 August 2022
THURSDAY, Aug. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. health officials said Wednesday that they are investigating an outbreak of E. coli that has infected 29 people in Michigan and Ohio.The outbreak has led to nine hospitalizations but no deaths, and investigators have not yet found a food source responsible for sickening people. They did note that the numbers are likely higher than cases reported so far. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement that it is using the PulseNet system to identify and confirm illnesses that are part of this outbreak. The system manages a national database of DNA fingerprints of bacteria that cause food-borne illnesses.These DNA fingerprints have shown health officials that the bacteria that is making people sick is closely related...
AHA News: New Report Details What to Know About Cardiovascular Disease Symptoms
18 August 2022
THURSDAY, Aug. 18, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Symptoms of cardiovascular problems run the gamut. Some – like chest pain during a heart attack or a droopy face during a stroke – are sudden and severe, while others last years with varying intensity. Factors such as sex, cognitive function and depression can complicate the recognition or diagnosis of symptoms.In a new report, experts detail the latest knowledge on cardiovascular disease symptoms with the goal to improve patient care and identify where more research is needed."Symptoms are a big part of how we assess a patient when they come to see us in clinic and how we make decisions about what the best treatment is for an individual," said Megan Streur, a nurse practitioner at the Heart Institute at UW Medical Center...
Change to Diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes Helped Women
18 August 2022
THURSDAY, Aug. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Using a lower threshold to diagnose pregnancy-related diabetes does not seem to reduce the risk of having a big baby, on average — but some women do benefit, a new clinical trial suggests.Gestational diabetes is diagnosed when a pregnant woman's blood sugar levels are abnormally high. The condition can have consequences for moms and babies, a main one being fetal overgrowth. That results in a big baby and a difficult delivery that can injure the newborn or mother, and raise the odds of a Cesarean section delivery. In addition, some infants are born with low blood sugar or breathing problems that require treatment.For women, meanwhile, gestational diabetes raises the risk of preeclampsia — a potentially dangerous condition where blood...
3 Big Pharmacy Chains Must Pay $650 Million to Ohio Counties for Role in Opioid Crisis
18 August 2022
THURSDAY, Aug. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Three of the country's largest pharmacy chains will have to pay $650.5 million over the next 15 years to two Ohio counties for their role in the opioid epidemic, a U.S. federal judge has ordered.The decision follows a November jury verdict that found CVS, Walgreens and Walmart pharmacies continued to dispense significant quantities of the drugs even though there were obvious signs of abuse, the New York Times reported. U.S. District Court Judge Dan Polster ruled that the pharmacies were responsible for one third of the cost the counties will need to deal with the damage the opioid crisis has wrought. Drug manufacturers and distributors are responsible for the other damages, he said. Polster has been the judge in more than 3,000 cases that...
Countries With Universal Health Care Had Better Child Vaccination Rates During Pandemic
18 August 2022
THURSDAY, Aug. 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Countries that are closer to achieving universal health coverage saw smaller declines in routine childhood vaccinations during the pandemic, a new study reveals.The World Health Organization describes universal health coverage as "all individuals and communities receive the health services they need without suffering financial hardship."Researchers were able to use the pandemic as a "natural experiment" to compare differences in childhood immunization coverage based on countries' progress toward universal health coverage. "Our findings strongly suggest that policymakers should continue to advocate for policies aimed at achieving universal health coverage in coming years," said the study authors, who included Yesim Tozan, an assistant...
