AHA News: Despite Hopes, Vitamin K2 Supplements Fail to Slow Calcium Buildup in Heart Valve
MONDAY, April 25, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- The progressive narrowing of the aortic heart valve in a group of older men could not be slowed during a recent clinical trial using vitamin K2 supplements, dampening hopes of finding a medical treatment for this common but serious condition.The research, published Monday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, built upon earlier studies suggesting vitamin K2 supplements could slow the progression of aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the valve that controls blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. But this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial – considered the gold standard of epidemiological studies – found vitamin K2 and vitamin D supplements did not slow the progression of calcium...
Worsening Allergy Seasons: Is Climate Change to Blame?
25 April 2022
MONDAY, April 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists have long known that as the Earth warms due to climate change, plants produce more pollen, making allergy season longer and more pronounced.Now, a new survey finds that hay fever sufferers are increasingly taking notice.In a poll of more than 2,000 U.S. adults conducted by the Harris Poll in partnership with HealthDay, only 1 in 3 reported receiving an official hay fever diagnosis from a doctor, but 3 in 4 said they have experienced seasonal allergy symptoms.For most of these individuals, seasonal sneezing is no walk in the park -- 74% said their symptoms negatively impact their overall quality of life. And according to Kathy Steinberg, vice president at the Harris Poll, "Other points in the survey suggest that the situation is only...
Hair of the Dog: A Quick, Painless Stress Test for Pooches
25 April 2022
MONDAY, April 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The strange smells and sounds at an animal shelter can stress out even the most placid pup, and invasive tests to see if they need medicine to calm down only add to the anxiety.So there's some good news for Fido in new research out of the Netherlands.The study found that analyzing a single sample of a dog's hair gives an accurate measure of the stress hormone cortisol — a simple, pain-free alternative to collecting multiple samples of saliva, urine, feces or blood. "[A shelter] really is a change in environment for most dogs, so often you do see a stress response," said lead researcher Janneke van der Laan. She is a doctoral candidate in the animal behavior group at Utrecht University. Suddenly, van der Laan said, shelter dogs find...
WHO Says Acute Hepatitis Cases in Children Now Reported...
25 April 2022
MONDAY, April 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) – The World Health Organization said it is investigating an outbreak of acute hepatitis among children that now involves 11 countries, including the United States. Among the 169 reported cases, at least one child has died from this inflammation of the liver and 17 children needed liver transplants, the WHO said Saturday in a statement."It is not yet clear if there has been an increase in hepatitis cases, or an increase in awareness of hepatitis cases that occur at the expected rate but go undetected," the WHO said. "While adenovirus is a possible hypothesis, investigations are ongoing for the causative agent."The symptoms "among identified cases is acute hepatitis with markedly elevated liver enzymes," the statement added.Hepatitis is typically...
Only 1 in 4 Long COVID Sufferers Fully Recovered One Year Later
25 April 2022
MONDAY, April 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A year after being hospitalized with COVID-19, only about 25% of people felt fully recovered, a new study shows, and the risk of long COVID was highest among women, obese people and those who were on a ventilator.There are no specific treatments for long COVID, and researchers said these findings highlight the urgent need to find effective therapies for the condition."The limited recovery from five months to one year after hospitalization in our study across symptoms, mental health, exercise capacity, organ impairment and quality-of-life is striking," said study co-leader Rachael Evans of the National Institute for Health Research Leicester Biomedical Research Centre in the United Kingdom.The new study included more than 2,300 British COVID...
Heart Risk Factors Can Be Recipe for Dementia
25 April 2022
MONDAY, April 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The faster you pile up heart disease risk factors, the greater your odds of developing dementia, a new study suggests.Previous research has linked heart health threats such as high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity with mental decline and dementia.Amassing those risk factors at a faster pace boosts your risk for Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia, according to findings published online April 20 in the journal Neurology."Our study suggests that having an accelerated risk of cardiovascular disease, quickly accumulating more risk factors like high blood pressure and obesity, is predictive of dementia risk and associated with the emergence of memory decline," said study author Bryn Farnsworth von Cederwald, of Umeå University in Sweden....
Fewer Adults With ADHD Have 'Excellent' Mental Health
25 April 2022
MONDAY, April 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Two in five adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder say their mental health is excellent, which is significantly lower than people without the disorder, but still an encouraging finding, according to the authors of a new study.Their analysis of a Canadian government mental health survey found that 42% of 480 respondents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) termed their mental health as excellent. That compared to 74% of more than 21,000 people without ADHD."This finding provides a very hopeful message for both individuals struggling with ADHD and their loved ones," said lead study author Esme Fuller-Thomson. She is director of the University of Toronto Institute for Life Course and Aging."This research marks a...
As Pandemic Continues, Advice for Parents on How to Manage Anxiety in Kids
24 April 2022
SUNDAY, April 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Anxiety over the COVID-19 pandemic is common among young children, and parents may wonder how to quell those concerns.An expert from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston has some advice."Parents should have a clear idea of what their thoughts are about the virus and get on the same page as their partner," said Laurel Williams, a professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences. "When parents are not sure what they think and feel, it can cause anxiety and confusion for the child. That goes for double if partners don't agree," Williams said in a college news release.Parents should ask children how they feel and what they think about the COVID pandemic, but avoid questions such as, "Are you worried you're going to get sick?"...
