Putting Hospitalized COVID Patients on Their Belly May Not Be a Good Idea After All
TUESDAY, April 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Placing hospitalized COVID-19 patients on their stomach is helpful if they're on a mechanical ventilator, but a new study suggests it's not a good idea for patients who are not intubated."Awake" COVID patients — as opposed to ventilated patients who are kept sedated — did not benefit from lying on their stomach while struggling for breath, according to clinical trial results published online April 18 in JAMA Internal Medicine.In fact, awake COVID-19 patients asked to prone did somewhat worse short-term than those left on their backs, said lead researcher Dr. Todd Rice, an associate professor of allergy, pulmonology and critical care medicine at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn.Their blood oxygen levels were lower, and they tended...
Moderna Says Its Combo Vaccine Effective Against Omicron
19 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Moderna Inc. announced Tuesday that an updated COVID booster shot that combines Moderna's original vaccine with protection against the Beta variant appears more effective than current booster shots against Omicron and a number of other variants.Before the highly transmissible Omicron variant surfaced, Moderna was tweaking its original vaccine to provide added protection against the earlier Beta variant.But Moderna said the combination vaccine triggered antibodies capable of fighting several variants -- including Omicron -- than regular booster shots now available to people. Moderna is now testing a second combination shot that includes its original vaccine and one that targets Omicron by including 32 of that variant’s mutations. Studies of...
Can Wearables Track the Severity of COVID Symptoms?
19 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Fitness trackers can tell you how well you're sleeping, how fast you're walking and, of course, how many steps you've taken.But during the pandemic, researchers have also investigated the ability of smart watches to help detect COVID-19 or provide data on recovery.The latest study uses several measures of heart rate data to help track the progression of symptoms in someone who has the coronavirus and to show how sick that person becomes while ill.In the study, fitness trackers detected that COVID-19 dampened biological timekeeping signals, said co-author Daniel Forger, a mathematics professor at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. The researchers also found signs of changes in how a person's heart rate responds to activity, altered...
AHA News: For 27 Years, Organ Donation Has Been Boosted...
19 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 19, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Nicholas Green should've turned 35 this year.Instead, a random act of violence claimed his life while he was on vacation with his family in Italy more than 27 years ago. The story captivated a worldwide audience. So did what happened next.Nicholas' organs and corneas were donated to seven people. His heart went to a 15-year-old boy and one of his corneas to a mother who'd struggled to see her baby.Recognizing the opportunity to turn his family's tragedy into a blessing for others, Reg Green, Nicholas' father, began a quest that has changed countless lives. It's been the source of a TV movie, the inspiration for a bell tower in California and the impetus for a campaign in Italy that could help connect more recipients with the...
Men With Heart Disease Can Safely Mix Their Nitrates with ED Drugs
19 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Doctors have long thought it dangerous to prescribe erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra alongside chest pain pills containing nitrates."It's always been a big red line," said Dr. John Osborne, director of State of the Heart Cardiology in Grapevine, Texas. "You do not mix. Don't go there."But sex remains important among men with heart problems -- so much so that co-prescription of ED drugs and nitrate pills increased 20-fold between 2000 and 2018 in Denmark, said Dr. Anders Holt of the cardiology department at the University of Copenhagen.Now, a new study indicates there might be little to no potential risk in co-prescribing the two types of drugs.Men are not more likely to suffer a heart attack, stroke or cardiac arrest if they've been...
Estrogen, Testosterone Deficiencies May Raise Risk of Rotator Cuff Tears
19 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Lower levels of sex hormones might be tied to tears of the shoulder's rotator cuff in men and women, a new study suggests.Among women with low levels of estrogen, researchers found the odds of a rotator cuff tear were 48% higher, compared with women with normal estrogen levels. Among men, the odds of a rotator cuff tear were 89% higher among those with low levels of testosterone."It's been known for a long time that when you have low estrogen and testosterone levels, that leads to osteoporosis or weak bones. And as the bones get weaker, it compromises tendon-bone attachments, and that's basically what rotator cuff tears are," said study co-author Dr. Peter Chalmers. He is an orthopedic surgeon and clinical instructor at the University of...
Cases of Coronavirus Moving From Mink to People Confirmed by CDC
19 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- At least four people in Michigan infected with a version of the coronavirus found mostly in mink are the first known cases of possible animal-to-human transmission of the virus in the United States.The cases occurred in the first year of the pandemic and were confirmed Monday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The New York Times reported.Two of the infected people worked at a Michigan mink farm where a coronavirus outbreak had occurred, while the other two had no known connection to the farm. The first three cases were reported last year.In early October 2020, Michigan officials announced that the virus had been detected in mink on a local farm and that several of the animals had died. Upon the state's request, the CDC...
Some Pot Edibles Mimic Candy, Raising Dangers for Kids
19 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Marijuana edibles that mimic the packaging of popular snack foods pose a risk to children, a new study warns.Researchers looked at the packaging of more than 200 types of edible marijuana products and found that nearly one in 10 resembled commercial snack foods, including candies and chips. "At first glance, most of the packages look almost exactly like familiar snacks. If these copycat cannabis products are not stored safely, there is the potential for accidental ingestion by children or adults," said lead author Danielle Ompad. She is an associate professor of epidemiology in the School of Global Public Health at New York University."Policies to prevent cannabis packaging from appealing to children haven't stopped copycat products from...
