AHA News: Overworked Single Mom Collapsed at Work and Wound Up With a New Heart
THURSDAY, April 21, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- In her late 40s, Alicia Wilson had a hectic schedule. She had a full-time job administering contracts, was a single mom of a busy high schooler, and had decided to take on the challenge of going back to school for a master's degree.So when Alicia, who was overweight, felt out of breath after climbing stairs, she hardly had time to think twice about it.Then came the day at work when she was rushing to a meeting and fell, hitting her head. In the emergency room, doctors said she had a concussion. A few days later, she came home from her usual morning walk with her dog and thought she was going to faint.She didn't, but was scared enough to stay home from work. While she thought the concussion was to blame, she saw her doctor...
U.S. Justice Department Appeals Ruling Striking Down...
21 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The Biden administration on Wednesday appealed a Florida ruling that struck down a federal mask mandate for planes, trains and other forms of public transportation.The announcement, made by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, came after the agency deemed the mandate was still needed to protect Americans from the spread of COVID-19."It is CDC's continuing assessment that at this time an order requiring masking in the indoor transportation corridor remains necessary for the public health," the statement read. "CDC will continue to monitor public health conditions to determine whether such an order remains necessary. CDC believes this is a lawful order, well within CDC's legal authority to protect public health."This latest...
Intermittent Fasting: Is It Better Than Typical...
21 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- "Time-restricted" eating has become a popular weight-loss tactic, but a new clinical trial finds no benefits in adding it to old-fashioned calorie-cutting.Time-restricted eating is a form of intermittent fasting, in which people limit themselves to eating within a certain time window each day. Outside that window, they swear off everything other than water or other calorie-free drinks.Time restriction has become a popular weight-loss strategy, largely because it's simple. Instead of laboriously counting calories, people only have to watch the clock. And small studies have shown that limited eating windows -- six hours being a popular one -- can help people shed some pounds.In the new trial, researchers tested whether adding time restriction...
Sharp Spike Seen in Air Pollution Levels in Recent Years
21 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- After 23 years of decreases in overall air pollution levels, a new report shows that the United States recorded the highest ever number of "very unhealthy" and "hazardous" air quality days between 2018 and 2020.In its State of the Air 2022 report, the American Lung Association said more than 137 million Americans reside in counties with unhealthy air, and the number of people who faced increases in daily spikes of deadly particulate air pollution was nearly 9 million higher than in last year's report. People of color were disproportionately affected by polluted air, the association added in a statement on the key findings of its report.Compared to white people, people of color were 61% more likely to live in a county with a failing grade for...
Fully Vaccinated Woman Infected With Omicron Just 21 Days After Delta Infection
21 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A fully vaccinated health care worker got COVID-19 twice in less than a month — the shortest known time between infections, Spanish researchers report.The 31-year-old was infected with the Omicron variant just 21 days after catching the Delta variant."This case highlights the potential of the Omicron variant to evade the previous immunity acquired either from a natural infection with other variants or from vaccines," said study author Gemma Recio, a researcher at Catalan Institute of Health in Tarragona, Spain.The woman first tested positive for COVID-19 on Dec. 20, 2021, during a staff screening at her workplace. She had received a booster shot 12 days earlier. She self-isolated for 10 days before returning to work and did not develop any...
Western Wildfires Fueling Air Pollution During Summer Months
21 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Larger and more intense wildfires in the U.S. Pacific Northwest are causing a spike in air pollution across North America that endangers millions of people, a new study warns.Wildfire smoke has been linked to significant respiratory problems, and may also cause heart and pregnancy complications."Wildfire emissions have increased so substantially that they're changing the annual pattern of air quality across North America," said lead author Rebecca Buchholz, a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo. "It's quite clear that there is a new peak of air pollution in August that didn't used to exist."For the study, her team analyzed wildfire emissions from 2002 to 2018 and found a sharp increase in carbon...
COVID Infection as Protective as Vaccines, Study Finds
21 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A prior COVID-19 infection may provide unvaccinated adults with as much immunity against reinfection as the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna mRNA vaccines, new research suggests.However, the study was conducted before the surge of the highly transmissible Omicron variant. "We found that, before the emergence of the Omicron variant, natural immunity provided a similar degree of protection against COVID-19 infection as mRNA vaccination," said study author Dr. Ari Robicsek. He is chief medical analytics officer for the Providence health system, which operates in the western United States."That said, vaccination is a considerably safer way to acquire that immunity," Robicsek added in a health system news release.For the study, the investigators...
Extra Pounds Double Women's Risk of Endometrial Cancer
21 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Obesity is tied to many types of cancer, and new research finds that over the long term it nearly doubles a woman's risk of endometrial cancer."This study is an interesting first step into how genetic analyses could be used to uncover exactly how obesity causes cancer, and what can be done to tackle it," said study lead author Emma Hazelwood, of the University of Bristol in England."Links between obesity and womb [endometrial] cancer are well-known, but this is one of the largest studies which has looked into exactly why that is on a molecular level. We look forward to further research exploring how we can now use this information to help reduce the risk of cancer in people struggling with obesity," Hazelwood said in a Cancer Research UK...
