Antibiotics in Infancy May Weaken Response to Childhood Vaccines
WEDNESDAY, April 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Babies and toddlers who've been given antibiotics might have a less vigorous immune response to routine childhood vaccinations, new research warns.The study is the first to suggest that antibiotics might dampen youngsters' ability to generate infection-fighting antibodies in response to vaccination.Experts cautioned that more research is necessary, and it's not clear whether antibiotic use is linked to higher rates of breakthrough infections.But the study builds on earlier work, in lab animals and one study of adults, hinting at a way that antibiotics could hinder antibody production: The drugs temporarily kill off some of the beneficial bacteria that live in the gut, and those bugs play a key role in immune function.Routine childhood...
Prescription Steroids Can Pose Dangers for Sickle Cell...
27 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- People with sickle cell disease who take corticosteroids to treat asthma or inflammation may suffer severe pain and even need to be hospitalized, researchers report.This reaction to corticosteroids can be particularly severe among older people, women and patients not taking the drug hydroxyurea to treat their sickle cell symptoms. These were the most likely to be hospitalized, the study found."Individuals with sickle cell should try to seek care with somebody who has some experience with sickle cell or knows about guidelines," said Dr. Lewis Hsu, chief medical officer of the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, who reviewed the findings.Current sickle cell guidelines advise against the use of oral corticosteroids, said Hsu, a...
Smoking Rates Drop for Americans Battling Depression,...
27 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Folks who struggle with depression and substance use disorders often tend to be smokers, but a new study finds that smoking rates among these vulnerable Americans have fallen significantly."This study shows us that at a population-level, reductions in tobacco use are achievable for people with psychiatric conditions, and smoking cessation should be prioritized along with treatments for substance use, depression and other mental health disorders for people who experience them," said study co-author Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the U.S. National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA)."Therapies to help people stop smoking are safe, effective and may even enhance the long-term success of concurrent treatments for more severe mental health symptoms in...
Kids Who Witness Domestic Violence May Suffer Mentally...
27 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Witnessing violence between your parents is traumatic when it happens, but a new study finds that trauma can raise your risk of depression and other mental health problems.The study included more than 17,700 Canadian adults who took part in a national survey on mental health. Of those respondents, 326 said they witnessed parental domestic violence more than 10 times before age 16, which was defined as chronic.Among those who were exposed to chronic parental domestic violence during childhood, 22.5% had major depression at some point in their life, 15% had an anxiety disorder and nearly 27% had a substance abuse disorder. In comparison, the rates among people with no history of violence between their parents were 9%, 7% and 19%,...
Tough COVID Measures Were Tough on Mental Health
27 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As the pandemic unfolded, nations adopted diverse methods to contain COVID-19. Some sought to eliminate the virus, targeting zero community transmission. Others tried to slow transmission through a mix of intermittent lockdowns, workplace, business and school closings, social distancing, the wearing of face masks, and the cancellation of public gatherings and public transport.Efforts to slow transmission, rather than eliminate the virus, were associated with poorer mental health, according to two new studies published in The Lancet Public Health. "At first sight, it may seem that eliminator countries implemented much harsher strategies than other countries because of their widely reported international travel bans," Lara Aknin, co-author...
Pandemic Medicaid Rules Allowed More Women to Stay Insured After Childbirth
27 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Far fewer U.S. women lost health insurance coverage after giving birth during the COVID-19 pandemic than in previous years, likely due to a federal law that prevented Medicaid from dropping people, researchers say. But they noted that the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which was signed into law in March 2020, is set to expire in July 2022."The Coronavirus Response Act was a boon for families in that it allowed postpartum people on Medicaid to hold on to their health insurance," said study co-author Erica Eliason, a postdoctoral researcher at Brown University's School of Public Health."Many people will lose postpartum Medicaid coverage when the public health emergency ends unless states decide to extend Medicaid for a full year...
High Medical Bills Tied to Worse Outcomes for Younger Cancer Survivors
27 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. cancer survivors under age 65 with medical-related financial struggles have an increased risk of early death, a new study finds."Our findings show the need to address financial hardship to ensure that cancer survivors do not delay or forgo necessary care because they cannot afford it," said lead author Dr. Robin Yabroff. She is scientific vice president of health services research for the American Cancer Society (ACS).For the study, Yabroff and her colleagues analyzed data from more than 25,000 cancer survivors who took part in a nationwide health survey between 1997 and 2014, as well as survey-linked death data through 2015.Nearly all respondents aged 65 and older had health insurance through Medicare, while younger adults were more...
3 in 5 Americans Have Already Been Infected With COVID
26 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Thanks to the Omicron surge this past winter, 3 in every 5 Americans have now been infected with COVID-19, a new government report shows.Once Omicron surfaced as the predominant variant in this country, the highest infection rates were seen among children and teens, and the upward shift was steep: Only 1 in 3 Americans had been infected with COVID-19 by the time the variant took hold last December, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data found.Since traditional disease surveillance methods do not capture all COVID cases because some people are asymptomatic, not diagnosed or not reported, the scientists analyzed tests that measured antibodies that are produced in response to COVID infection but not in response to COVID...
