Mental Health Issues Linked to Higher Risk of Breakthrough COVID Infections
MONDAY, April 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- People with substance abuse disorders, depression and other mental health conditions may be at higher risk for COVID-19 -- even when they are fully vaccinated, new research suggests."Individuals with psychiatric disorders, and especially older adults with psychiatric disorders, may be particularly vulnerable to breakthrough infections," said study author Kristen Nishimi, a postdoctoral fellow at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the University of California, San Francisco. "Mental health should be recognized as another important factor to consider when thinking about COVID-19 infection risk."While the new study only found an association and wasn’t designed to say why breakthrough infections may be more likely in people...
AHA News: Decades-Long Heart Study Shows Longer Lives,...
18 April 2022
MONDAY, April 18, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- People taking part in the historic Framingham Heart Study are living longer and with less risk of having a heart attack, stroke or dying from coronary heart disease, according to a new analysis that underscores the power of prevention, screening and treatment efforts.Scientists have known for decades about the risks posed by plaque buildup in the arteries. Coronary heart disease, for example, caused 360,900 deaths in the U.S. in 2019, according to statistics from the American Heart Association.But researchers wanted to learn more about how the risk has changed over the years. To do that, they focused on "remaining lifetime risk," or the probability that a person, at any given age, will experience cardiovascular disease during...
Coronavirus Found in Human Feces Up to 7 Months After...
18 April 2022
MONDAY, April 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- COVID-19 is mainly known as a respiratory ailment, but a new study suggests the coronavirus can infect your intestinal tract for weeks and months after you've cleared the bug from your lungs.In the study about 1 out of 7 COVID patients continued to shed the virus' genetic remnants in their feces at least four months after their initial diagnosis, long after they've stopped shedding the virus from their respiratory tract, researchers found.This could explain why some COVID patients develop GI symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, said senior researcher Dr. Ami Bhatt, an associate professor of medicine and genetics at Stanford University."We found that people who had cleared their respiratory infection -- meaning they were...
Brain Scans Spot When Psychosis, Depression Might Worsen
18 April 2022
MONDAY, April 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The future of diagnosing and targeting treatments for serious mental health disorders may include MRI brain scans.Researchers in the United Kingdom found that brain scans enabled them to identify which patients with major depression or psychosis were most likely to have poor outcomes.That could help doctors decide who might need more intensive treatment from the outset and help them avoid trial-and-error in choosing medications.While diagnosing conditions like depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder is now done by using a patient's symptoms, medical history and clinical observations, MRI scans would provide biological insights, according to the study."We feel that the results of this study can get us a step closer toward using brain...
Health Officials Investigate Mysterious Hepatitis Cases Among Children in U.S., U.K.
18 April 2022
MONDAY, April 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) – The World Health Organization (WHO) is investigating an unexplained increase in severe liver infection in children around the world including in the United States and the United Kingdom.The severe acute hepatitis cases have led to hospitalizations and even some liver transplants, but not deaths, CBS News reported. In Alabama, the state has reported nine cases of hepatitis in children aged 1 to 6 since October 2021, according to the state's Department of Public Health.On April 5, the WHO was notified of 10 severe acute hepatitis cases in children younger than 10 in Central Scotland. Within three days, the number of cases in children in the United Kingdom grew to 74. The WHO also has received reports of fewer than five cases in Ireland and...
Does the Moderna Vaccine Best the Pfizer Shot?
18 April 2022
MONDAY, April 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine may have some slight advantages over the Pfizer shot, new research suggests.For the study, researchers tracked antibody levels in 234 people for 10 months after they received either the two-dose Pfizer (114 people) or Moderna (114 people) mRNA vaccines, or the single-dose Johnson & Johnson (6 people) shot, which uses a different mechanism to protect against infection.A week to 20 days after their second dose, antibody levels in those who received the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were about 50 times higher than those in the J&J recipients. Antibodies in both the Pfizer and Moderna groups then began to drop, but the decline was greater in Pfizer recipients, the study found.After six months, antibody levels in the Pfizer...
Health Care Workers Were At Highest COVID Risk in Workplace
18 April 2022
MONDAY, April 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. health care workers were most likely to be infected with COVID-19 at work during the pandemic's first year, according to a new study that challenges previous research suggesting their risk was highest off the job.Researchers said their findings could help guide efforts to better protect health care workers during future infectious disease outbreaks."This study provides important insights to guide infection prevention and control practices in health care settings so that we can better protect HCPs [health care professionals] and their patients," said Linda Dickey, president of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), which published the findings in its journal.For the study, researchers analyzed data...
Lead Exposure Harms Kids in Many Ways
18 April 2022
MONDAY, April 18, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- New studies add to the extensive body of research showing the many risks that lead poses to youngsters. The association between lead exposure and children's IQ is well-documented, but these University of Pennsylvania studies revealed how lead affects children's stress responses and behavior. One study found a significant association between lead exposure in early childhood and poorly regulated heart rate variability during a stress-triggering task in early adolescence. This suggests an abnormal ("dysregulated") stress response. The findings have implications for heart health and overall growth and development, according to the study authors. "The biological mechanisms underpinning the relationship between lead and physiological stress...
