Hot Stuff: Spicy Foods Can't Harm You, Can They?
FRIDAY, July 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Spicy food challenges are all the rage these days, but can munching red hot peppers and sizzling hot sauces harm you? One nutrition expert from University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center in Ohio suggests that while it may burn your tongue at the dinner table and trigger some gastrointestinal distress as it travels through your body, it could actually help improve your lifelong health.Capsaicin, the ingredient found in peppers that causes that characteristic heat, is an oil-like chemical compound that binds to pain receptors on the tongue and throughout the digestive tract. It's the capsaicin that causes your brains to feel like you're on fire when you bite into a jalapeno pepper."But capsaicin does not actually burn you," explained Jayna...
Good Outcomes From First 5 Years of Uterus Transplants,...
7 July 2022
THURSDAY, July 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- For women who can't get pregnant because they don't have a uterus or the one they have no longer works properly, uterine transplants can indeed help these women become mothers, new research shows.Of 33 women who received a uterus transplant in the United States between 2016 and 2021, 19 delivered a total of 21 babies, the researchers reported."Based on the experience of the first five years of uterus transplantation in the U.S., this procedure should be considered a clinical reality in the U.S. and presented as an option for the many women with infertility due to a uterine factor [who are] interested in parenthood," said study first author Dr. Liza Johannesson. She is medical director of uterus transplant at the Annette C. and Harold C....
Feeling 'Hangry'? It's Natural, New Study Finds
7 July 2022
THURSDAY, July 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The concept of "hangry" helps sell candy bars, and it's a convenient excuse to snap at someone when you're in a foul mood.But is hangry -- being angry when you're hungry -- a real thing? Do people really become more irritable when they want food?"My wife sometimes used to tell me, 'you're being hangry.' And I kind of always thought that's not a real thing -- it's not a real psychological condition to be hangry," said Viren Swami, a professor of social psychology at Anglia Ruskin University in East Anglia, England.Now, Swami admits he's proven himself wrong, releasing study results that suggest hangry is indeed real.Greater self-reported levels of hunger among dozens of central European study participants were associated with stronger feelings...
AHA News: Substance Use Appears Higher in Recent Decades...
7 July 2022
THURSDAY, July 7, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Documented cocaine and marijuana use among young adults who had strokes rose substantially in recent decades, especially among white men and women, new research suggests.Overall, however, documented substance use among stroke patients was highest among young Black men. The authors of the study, published Thursday in the American Heart Association journal Stroke, suggested that bias in who gets a drug test following a stroke may be skewing the data, and they recommend developing more standardized guidelines for toxicology screening of stroke patients."We don't know if it's because of a bias in who is screened or if there are actual differences in substance use," said Dr. Tracy Madsen, one of the lead authors. Madsen is an...
Could ADHD Meds Help Treat Alzheimer's?
7 July 2022
THURSDAY, July 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Could ADHD drugs also treat degenerative brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease?British researchers say there is good evidence that some medications used for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) — known as noradrenergic drugs — might also help treat key aspects of Alzheimer's. "Repurposing of established noradrenergic drugs is most likely to offer effective treatment in Alzheimer's disease for general cognition [thinking skills] and apathy," the study authors reported. "There is a strong rationale for further, targeted clinical trials of noradrenergic treatments in Alzheimer's disease."Led by Dr. Michael David of the UK Dementia Research Institute in London, the study team reviewed results of 19 clinical trials conducted...
An Aggressive Leukemia Is Much More Lethal for Black Patients Than Whites - Why?
7 July 2022
THURSDAY, July 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Getting a blood cancer diagnosis is devastating for young people, but it is also far more deadly if the patient is Black, new research shows.The new study, which looked at outcomes for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), highlights an urgent need to understand racial and ethnic differences, as well as the inequities in diagnosis, treatment and care between Black and white patients. It was published July 5 in Blood Advances."We found that among young Black and white patients who received similar intensive therapy on clinical trials, outcomes were dramatically inferior for Black patients compared with white patients -- and this disparity occurred predominantly among patients aged 18 to 29 years," said lead author Dr. Karilyn Larkin, a...
Why COVID Spread So Fast in California's Prisons
7 July 2022
THURSDAY, July 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- An array of problems, including overcrowding, led to a surge of COVID-19 cases in California prisons in 2020-2021, a new report details. Preventing outbreaks in the future will require a comprehensive list of fixes, from reducing overcrowding in the state’s 34 adult prisons to improving old buildings. Vaccination drives and methods for rapid detection are also necessary, researchers said."We found that many California prison officials and staff did heroic work under incredibly difficult circumstances," said study co-author Dr. Brie Williams, a professor of medicine at University of California, San Francisco. "But in many cases, it still wasn’t enough," Williams said.When the U.S. national COVID-19 emergency was declared in March 2020, the...
Grief Can Be Heartbreaking for People Battling Heart Failure
6 July 2022
WEDNESDAY, July 6, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Can someone really die of a broken heart?If that person has serious heart disease, new Swedish research suggests the answer may well be yes.After analyzing almost three decades worth of data on nearly half a million heart failure patients, investigators concluded that those who had been struck by the grief that comes with losing a loved one faced a 5% to 20% spike in their risk of dying from heart failure over the following four years.The findings may call for increased attention from family members, friends and doctors for bereaved heart failure patients, especially right after the loss, said study author Krisztina László. She is an associate professor in the department of global public health with the Karolinska Institute in...
