Repeat Infections With COVID-19 May Become the Norm
MONDAY, May 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- COVID-19 might be easing into a new status as a widely circulating and somewhat harsher version of the common cold, experts say — a virus that folks could contract repeatedly, even if they were recently infected."[SARS-CoV-2] is destined to join four of its family members and become an endemic coronavirus that will repeatedly infect individuals throughout their lifetimes," said Dr. Amesh Adalja, of Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, referring to the four circulating coronaviruses that cause the common cold."It will become one of several respiratory viruses that people contend with, and will become increasingly less disruptive and more manageable with medical countermeasures and the population's risk acclimatization," he added.With the...
Jif Peanut Butter Recalled Due to Possible Salmonella
23 May 2022
MONDAY, May 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Some lots of Jif brand peanut butter are being recalled as health officials investigate a multistate outbreak of Salmonella illness tied to the products.Fourteen illnesses (including two hospitalizations) tied to the Salmonella Senftenberg strain of the bacteria have occurred in Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Ohio, North Carolina, New York, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington, according to a statement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. No one has died from the illness."Five out of five people reported consuming peanut butter and four of the five people specifically reported consuming different varieties of Jif brand peanut butter prior to becoming ill," according to a U.S. Centers for Disease Control...
Poll Finds COVID Low on Parents' Summer Camp Checklist
23 May 2022
MONDAY, May 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When choosing a summer camp for their children, many U.S. parents prioritize location, cost and activities. Only one in 10 said COVID-19 precautions are important, a new survey reveals. Among parents who said COVID-19 precautions would play an important role in their summer camp decision, three-quarters support mask and vaccine requirements. Meanwhile, one-quarter prefer a camp with no such mandates, according to the University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health. "Mandatory vaccination and masking may minimize disruptions to camp activities from a COVID outbreak and also limit the risk that campers pass on COVID to other family members," poll co-director Sarah Clark said in a university news...
U.S. Rate for a Dangerous Pregnancy Complication Doubled...
23 May 2022
MONDAY, May 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Rates of dangerous high blood pressure problems during pregnancy more than doubled in the United States between 2007 and 2019, a new study finds."The increase in pregnancy complications is alarming because these adverse pregnancy outcomes — including hypertension [high blood pressure] in pregnancy, preterm birth and a low birth weight infant — not only adversely influence both mom and child in the short-term, but for years to come," said study author Dr. Sadiya Khan. She is assistant professor of cardiology and epidemiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, in Chicago.For the study, Khan and her colleagues analyzed federal government data on all 51 million live births to 15- to 44-year-old mothers in the United States...
Gout Medicine May Also Help Fight Heart Failure
23 May 2022
MONDAY, May 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The anti-inflammatory benefits of a common gout medicine may help save the lives of heart failure patients, researchers say.The medication, colchicine, could also reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients whose arteries are clogged with cholesterol, according to the study authors. "The signal for benefit with colchicine in these patients was very impressive, and I expect that these findings will have quite a significant impact on clinical care in heart failure and future research for patients with this condition," Dr. Kenneth Bilchick said in a University of Virginia (UVA) news release. He's a professor of cardiovascular medicine there. For the study, Bilchick and his team analyzed the records of more than 1,000 patients admitted...
Liver Transplants From Donors Who Overdosed Rose During Pandemic
23 May 2022
MONDAY, May 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Organs from donors who died of drug overdoses helped keep the number of U.S. liver transplants steady during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new study finds."When the pandemic began, we saw no decline in liver transplants, which seemed surprising since many surgeries were canceled or postponed," said lead author Peter Lymberopoulos, a fourth-year medical student at St. George’s University in Grenada."Sadly, a key reason seems to be a surge of organ donors who died from drug overdose," he said in an American Gastroenterological Association news release.Drug overdoses represent a public health crisis in the United States. Last year, more than 107,600 Americans died from drug overdoses, a record number, the U.S. Centers for Disease...
The High Cost of Living With Sickle Cell Disease
23 May 2022
MONDAY, May 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Americans with sickle cell disease who have private insurance face average out-of-pocket costs of $1,300 a year and a lifetime total of $44,000, new research reveals.That means that their out-of-pocket expenses are nearly four times higher compared to people without the inherited blood disorder, the new study found."Identifying ways to reduce the burden many people living with [sickle cell disease] face is a critical part of coordinated research," said study author Kate Johnson, who completed the analysis while at the University of Washington, in Seattle. "We hope this analysis complements the larger scientific quest to identify cures for sickle cell disease."For the study, Johnson and her team analyzed private health insurance claims filed...
C-Sections Won't Raise Baby's Odds for Food Allergies
23 May 2022
MONDAY, May 23, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Babies delivered by cesarean section are no more likely to have food allergies during their first year of life than other infants, according to an Australian study.The association between type of delivery and food allergy risk had been unclear, so researchers decided to take a closer look.For the study, they analyzed data on more than 2,000 infants in Australia; 30% were delivered by C-section. The rate of food allergy at 12 months of age among babies born by C-section was 12.7%, compared with 13.2% among those delivered vaginally."Additionally, there was no difference in likelihood of food allergy if the cesarean was performed before or after the onset of labor, or whether it was an emergency or elective cesarean," said study co-author Rachel...
