AHA News: Air Pollution Exposure May Cause Heart Attack Within an Hour
FRIDAY, April 22, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Exposure to air pollutants – even at levels below World Health Organization air quality guidelines – may trigger a heart attack within the hour, according to a new study from China that found the risks were highest among older people and when the weather was colder.The study found exposure to any level of four common air pollutants could quickly trigger the onset of acute coronary syndrome. ACS is an umbrella term describing any situation in which blood supplied to the heart muscle is blocked, such as in a heart attack or unstable angina, chest pain caused by blood clots that temporarily block an artery. The strongest risk occurred within the first hour of exposure and diminished over the course of the day."The adverse...
Experts Weigh in on CDC's New Forecasting Center for...
22 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Back in December, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention held a detailed briefing to warn public health officials about an emerging COVID variant dubbed Omicron.Officials were incredibly specific, said Lori Tremmel Freeman, CEO of the National Association of County and City Health Officials, predicting that Omicron would enter the United States in four weeks and grow in intensity within six weeks.And it all pretty much rolled out as forecast."It was impressive, and it really made sense that this is the kind of surveillance that needs to happen so that we can begin to understand how future outbreaks are going to impact us," Freeman said.The Omicron outlook is considered the first real success of the CDC's new Center for Forecasting...
New Combo Immunotherapy Prolongs Survival in Patients...
22 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The use of immunotherapy and/or targeted drugs revolutionized the treatment of many cancers, but some people grow resistant to immunotherapy drugs and relapse as a result.For cases of advanced kidney cancer, a new drug in combination with an existing therapy appears to extend survival, according to a new study.People with advanced kidney cancer were less likely to relapse when they received nivolumab (Opdivo), a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor already approved to treat this cancer, and an investigational pill called sitravatinib, early research indicates.Sitravatinib is part of a class of targeted therapies called tyrosine kinase inhibitors or TKIs."This phase 1-2 trial established that the new drug sitravatinib can be safely and efficiently...
Childhood Vaccination Rates Slipped During Pandemic: CDC
22 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Many kindergartners fell behind on their childhood vaccinations during the pandemic, U.S. health officials warned Thursday.The drop has not been precipitous: About 94% of kindergarteners had their required vaccines during the 2020-2021 school year, a drop of about one percentage point and just below the 95% vaccination target, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a new report. "This means there are 35,000 more children in the United States during this time period without documentation of complete vaccination against common diseases," Dr. Georgina Peacock, acting director of the CDC's immunization services division, said during a media briefing on Thursday, The New York Times reported. "This is further evidence of how...
Firearms Now the Leading Cause of Death Among U.S. Kids, Teens
22 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Guns have surpassed road crashes as the leading cause of death among U.S. children and teens.Gun-related deaths rose 29% among 1- to 19-year-olds from 2019 to 2020, according to a new University of Michigan study. In all, there were more than 4,300 gun-related deaths — including suicides, homicides and accidents — in that age group in 2020.The rising rates demonstrate that the United States is failing to protect its youngest population from a preventable cause of death, said study co-author Jason Goldstick. He is a research associate professor of emergency medicine at Michigan Medicine in Ann Arbor."Recent investments in firearm injury prevention research by the [U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] and National Institutes of...
Tongue Stimulator Shows Promise as Sleep Apnea Treatment in Kids With Down Syndrome
22 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Children with Down syndrome are more likely than other kids to have sleep apnea, and existing treatments often fail to work. Now, an implanted device that stimulates tongue nerves shows promise in reducing their sleep disruptions, a new study finds.A device called a hypoglossal nerve stimulator is already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for adults with sleep apnea who can't use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy.The device is surgically implanted in an outpatient setting. When it senses that the user is trying to take a breath, it sends an electrical pulse to the hypoglossal nerve that controls the tongue. That causes the tongue to move forward in the mouth, opening the person's airway.This new work tested the...
Inappropriate Antibiotic Prescribing in U.S. Seniors, Black Patients Reaches Alarming Levels
22 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The majority of antibiotic prescriptions for U.S. seniors and Black and Hispanic Americans are inappropriate, a new report reveals.For the study, researchers analyzed federal government data on more than 7 billion outpatient visits to doctors' offices, hospital clinics and emergency departments nationwide between 2009 and 2016.Nearly 8 million visits (11%) led to antibiotic prescriptions, the researchers reported Thursday at a meeting of the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases in Lisbon, Portugal. Research presented at meetings should be considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal."Our results suggest that Black and Hispanic patients may not be properly treated and are receiving antibiotic...
More DNA Errors Seen in Brain Cells of Alzheimer's Patients
22 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Genetic mutations build up faster in the brain cells of Alzheimer's disease patients than in other people, new research reveals.The discovery could point the way to new Alzheimer's treatments.DNA errors called somatic mutations can occur in brain cells as people age. The authors of this study compared somatic mutations in hippocampal and prefrontal cortex neurons of people with advanced Alzheimer's and people with no neurological conditions.The Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients had a larger number of mutations — likely due to increased DNA oxidation, according to findings published April 20 in the journal Nature."As we age, neurons are known to accumulate somatic mutations. In AD neurons, however, we see more mutations and DNA alterations,"...
