In Long Run, Antidepressants Don't Improve Quality of Life: Study
WEDNESDAY, April 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Millions of Americans take antidepressants to combat low moods. But a large, new study suggests that these medications over time may do little to improve overall quality of life."We found the change in health-related quality of life to be comparable or similar between patients that used antidepressant medications and those who did not use them," said study lead author Omar Almohammed, an assistant professor of clinical pharmacy at King Saud University in Saudi Arabia.The researchers were "surprised by the results," he admitted.However, "we are not saying that [antidepressants] are not helpful at all," Almohammed noted. Quality of life, he emphasized, is only one of many measures intended to assess health outcomes.The research suggests...
FDA Warns 12 Companies About Skin Lightening Products
20 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Twelve companies have been issued warning letters about selling over-the-counter skin lightening products containing hydroquinone, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday.The products are unapproved drugs that are not recognized as safe and effective, according to the FDA, which has received reports of serious side effects including rashes, facial swelling and skin discoloration that may be permanent.The FDA said consumers should not use these products due to the potential risks. Instead, they should talk to their health care provider about treatment options for certain skin conditions, including dark or age spots.There are no FDA-approved or otherwise legally marketed over-the-counter (OTC) skin lightening products. Some...
AHA News: Don't Go Bananas – But Maybe Eat One
20 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 20, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- On the screen, bananas are a menace. Just ask Charlie Chaplin, Bugs Bunny or anyone who's played Mario Kart.In your diet, though, bananas can be a boon. Experts have a bunch of reasons to like them and see only a few ways the elongated yellow fruit could cause your health to slip."They're rich in nutrients and fiber," said Colleen Spees, associate professor of medical dietetics at Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus. "They're delicious. They're inexpensive. They're all the right things."They're the world's most popular fruit and have been cultivated for perhaps 10,000 years. Some scholars think the tempting fruit in the Biblical Garden of Eden sounds more like a banana than an apple. Bananas turn up in...
AHA News: The Challenges of Studying Marijuana's Effects...
20 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 20, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Over the past decade, marijuana use, both recreational and medicinal, has grown as state governments across the U.S. have legalized its use. But while it might be legal for adults to light up, the question of whether it is harmful or helpful in many cases remains unanswered.Researchers say the truth is complicated.Though it has been studied for decades, much remains unknown about how marijuana, or cannabis, affects heart and brain health. And there are significant challenges to finding clear answers."The evidence that has been emerging from animal models show ramifications in the brain and in the heart, but the data for humans is more murky," said Dr. Fernando Daniel Testai, a neurologist at the University of Chicago...
Unvaccinated Kids Were Twice as Likely to End up in Hospital During Omicron Surge
20 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Nearly 9 in 10 children ages 5-11 who were hospitalized for COVID-19 from mid-December to late February were unvaccinated, a rate that was two times higher than for vaccinated children, a new government study shows.Researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also found that about one-third of hospitalized children in that age group had no underlying medical conditions and one-fifth were admitted to intensive care.The study included about 400 children, ages 5-11, admitted to hospitals in 14 states during the winter Omicron variant surge. The hospitals serve about 10% of the nation's population.Among the children who tested positive for the virus before or during their hospitalization, three-quarters were admitted...
If CDC Finds Mask Mandate on Planes Still Needed, Appeal of Ruling Striking It Down Is Likely
20 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Department of Justice said Tuesday that it will appeal a Florida judge's ruling that struck down a federal mask mandate on airplanes and other forms of public transportation only if the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determines such a mandate is still needed."The Department of Justice [DOJ] and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention disagree with the district court’s decision and will appeal, subject to CDC’s conclusion that the order remains necessary for public health," DOJ spokesman Anthony Coley said in a statement. "The Department continues to believe that the order requiring masking in the transportation corridor is a valid exercise of the authority Congress has given CDC to protect the public...
Mesh Plug a New Option for Treating Tricky Aneurysms
20 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A mesh plug normally used to treat one type of brain aneurysm is also effective when dealing with another type, a new study says.Aneurysms are bulges in blood vessels that can cause a life-threatening rupture. They typically occur where a blood vessel forks into two branches (bifurcates), but can also occur on the side of a blood vessel.The study found that a device called a Woven EndoBridge (WEB) is equally effective for both types of aneurysms.A common treatment is the placement of tiny platinum coils into the aneurysm, but that has limitations, according to the authors of the study. The report was published April 19 in the journal Radiology."If the aneurysm has a wide neck, the coil might fall into the blood vessel and lead to clot...
When Pot Is Legal, Prescriptions for Pain, Depression, Anxiety and Sleep Drop: Study
20 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When people have legal access to marijuana, they're less likely to take certain prescription drugs, new research suggests.U.S. states where recreational marijuana is legal have seen large drops in the use of prescription drugs for pain, depression, anxiety, sleep, psychosis and seizures, the researchers found. "These results have important implications," said study co-author Shyam Raman. He is a doctoral student in the School of Public Policy at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. "The reductions in drug utilization that we find could lead to significant cost savings for state Medicaid programs. The results also indicate an opportunity to reduce the harm that can come with the dangerous side effects associated with some prescription...
