AHA News: COVID-19 Led to Heart Problem That Put Teen in a Wheelchair For 3 Months
TUESDAY, April 26, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Olivia Lopez came home from school one day, walked into her mom's office and announced: "I can't smell."It was November 2020, so then-13-year-old Olivia and her mom knew what this likely meant. A test confirmed she had COVID-19.In addition to a loss of smell and taste, Olivia dealt with shortness of breath and fatigue.Weeks later, the virus was gone but the symptoms remained."I was sleeping 16 hours a day," she said. "I was always out of breath it seemed like."In January, she tried to return to her Catholic school. On the way home from volleyball practice, Olivia told her mother, "My chest hurts so bad.""It's not normal for that to happen to a healthy kid that's been an athlete their entire life and eats healthy and does all...
White House Moves to Make COVID Antiviral Pills More...
26 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Plans to nearly double the number of pharmacies and other locations that carry the antiviral pill Paxlovid for COVID-19 were announced Tuesday by the Biden administration.Demand for the drug has risen in recent weeks along with coronavirus cases, but many Americans have said they can't find a doctor to prescribe the drug, or a pharmacy that has it, when they get COVID-19, the Washington Post reported.The White House said it plans to increase the number of pharmacies, hospitals, community health clinics and urgent care centers that carry Paxlovid from 20,000 to 40,000 in the coming weeks.Another Biden administration move to increase availability of the Pfizer pill is more "test-to-treat" programs in pharmacies and clinics, where people will be...
Calcium Supplements Could Spell Trouble for Older Heart...
26 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Seniors are often advised to take calcium supplements, but new research says the pills might significantly increase an aging person's risk of heart valve problems that contribute to heart failure.People taking either calcium supplements alone or calcium with vitamin D had a higher risk of heart-related death or death from any cause compared with people not taking supplements, the researchers reported. These folks also were more likely to need surgery to replace their aortic valve.For example, results showed that people taking calcium plus vitamin D had a doubled risk of heart-related death, while those taking calcium alone were nearly three times as likely to need surgery to replace their heart valve."Taking additional calcium cannot be...
Who's Least Likely to Get a 'Breakthrough' Case of COVID?
26 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Are you vaccinated and wonder what your chances are of a breakthrough COVID-19 infection?A new study answers that question: Breakthrough COVID infections in fully vaccinated people are least likely to occur in those who've received an mRNA vaccine and who were infected with the coronavirus before vaccination.The study included more than 8 million adults in Belgium, aged 18 and older, who were fully vaccinated between Feb. 1 and Dec. 5, 2021. From 14 days after their second dose, they were followed for up to an average of 150 days.The incidence rate of breakthrough infections was 11.2 per 100 person-years, meaning that if 100 participants were followed up for one year, 11.2 would be expected to have a breakthrough infection.People who received...
Six in 10 COVID Patients Have a Symptom Persisting Over 1 Year
26 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- If you've had COVID-19, there's a good chance that at least one symptom will still be haunting you a year later, new research suggests.The researchers found that six in 10 people who've had COVID-19 still have at least one symptom after one year, and symptoms that don't resolve after 15 weeks are likely to last at least a year.The study "shows that long COVID can still have a large impact on quality of life, even a year after the acute infection. In general, the more severe the acute illness is, the more likely someone is to have ongoing symptoms; however, those with an asymptomatic or mild initial infection may also experience a deterioration in their quality of life," said study author Aurelie Fischer, from the Luxembourg Institute of...
Do Dentures Take a Toll on Good Nutrition?
26 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Dentures may take a bite out of your nutrition, a new study warns."They do not provide the same chewing efficiency, which may alter eating habits," said senior author Dr. Thankam Thyvalikakath, director of the Regenstrief Institute and the School of Dentistry Dental Informatics program at Indiana University in Indianapolis. "Dentists need to be aware of this and provide advice or a referral for nutrition counseling."For the study, researchers examined the dental records of more than 10,000 people in Indiana, as well as their results on laboratory tests for markers of malnutrition.A comparison of lab results from two years before a patient received dentures and two years after showed a significant decline in certain nutrition markers.While...
Poor Sleep Linked to More Mood Disorders During Pandemic
26 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Having trouble getting your shut-eye during the COVID-19 pandemic?You may be at increased risk for anxiety, depression and other mental health struggles.That's the key takeaway from an analysis of data collected from nearly 5,000 people who wore a digital sleep device before and during the pandemic. The authors also examined responses to a June 2020 survey on mental health completed by about 15% of those users."In addition to sleep during the pandemic, people's sleep patterns before the start of the pandemic were associated with their odds of mental health symptoms during the pandemic," said study author Mark Czeisler, of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "We don’t know the direction of this relationship -- the degree to which mental...
Women Less Likely Than Men to Return to Work After Severe Stroke
26 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 26, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Women are less likely than men to head back to their jobs after recovering from a severe stroke, but researchers say the reasons for that difference are unclear."Returning to work after a severe stroke is a sign of successful rehabilitation," said lead study author Dr. Marianne Hahn. She is a clinician scientist in the department of neurology at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. "Resuming pre-stroke levels of daily living and activities is highly associated with a better quality of life."For the new study, Hahn and her team analyzed data on more than 600 German workers aged 18 to 64 who survived a severe ischemic stroke between 2015 and 2019. Twenty-eight percent were women.Ischemic strokes are caused by blocked blood flow in...
