How Too Much Drinking Harms the Liver
SATURDAY, April 16, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As Americans stepped up their drinking during the COVID-19 pandemic, liver disease and transplants surged.Between March 2020 and January 2021, the number of U.S. patients with alcohol-associated liver disease who received a new liver or were wait-listed for a transplant was 50% higher than pre-pandemic projections, researchers say.Alcohol-associated liver disease is now the leading reason for liver transplants in the United States."The general rule is more than two drinks a day for men, more than one drink a day for women puts you at risk," said Dr. Karen Krok. She is a gastroenterologist and hepatologist at the Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pa.Alcohol creates fatty deposits in the liver that eventually cause...
Threatening Eye Condition Rare After COVID Infection
15 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- As doctors learn more about COVID-19 infection, they are finding that in rare cases, it appears tied to a disturbing eye condition.Retinal vein occlusion is a blockage of the small veins that carry blood away from the retina, which causes blurred vision. It usually occurs in people suffering from diabetes, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, or eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular edema or vitreous hemorrhage. And COVID-19 might just trigger retinal vein occlusion in people with these maladies, researchers suggest."There have been many case reports looking at vascular damage to the retina following COVID-19 infection," said lead researcher Dr. Bobeck Modjtahedi, an eye surgeon at Southern California Permanente Medical Group in...
AHA News: Future of COVID-19 Vaccines Brings High Hopes,...
15 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 15, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Looking back on a year since most people in the United States became eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine, medical experts can celebrate a technological triumph while acknowledging unresolved challenges.Looking ahead, they see the same: Exciting technological potential, with obstacles that will require work beyond the lab.From a scientific standpoint, vaccines are poised to keep winning the fight against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, said Dr. John Cooke, professor and chair of the department of cardiovascular sciences at Houston Methodist Research Institute. "I think that we have got it on the run."The Food and Drug Administration authorized the first vaccine for emergency use in the U.S. for people 16 and up on Dec....
FDA Approves First Breath Test for COVID
15 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- People who suspect they may have COVID-19 could soon find out with a simple breath test that delivers results in three minutes.On Thursday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted an emergency use authorization for a device called the InspectIR Covid-19 Breathalyzer. The test, which must be administered by a trained operator, demonstrates a high degree of accuracy while taking up no more space than a piece of carry-on luggage."Today's authorization is yet another example of the rapid innovation occurring with diagnostic tests for COVID-19," Dr. Jeff Shuren, director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in an agency news release announcing the approval. "The FDA continues to support the development of novel...
New Law Allows FDA to Police E-Cigs Made With Synthetic Nicotine
15 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A new law will ensure that vaping companies making electronic cigarettes using synthetic nicotine, in fruit flavors that appeal to teenagers, can be regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. When the law took effect Thursday, it closed a loophole that allowed the products to avoid oversight. Now, they must follow the same federal sales restrictions and age requirements as tobacco products, the Associated Press reported.The new law "allows FDA to protect the public health from the harms of tobacco products, regardless of the source of nicotine," the FDA said in a statement Wednesday. These vaping companies must register with the FDA and submit their products for review within 30 days, the AP reported. The change doesn't ban these...
Avoiding Diabetes May Include Avoiding Meat
15 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Eating a healthy plant-based diet may help you head off type 2 diabetes, a new study suggests.Healthy plant-based foods include fruits, vegetables, nuts, coffee/tea, vegetable oils and legumes. Unhealthy plant-based foods include refined grains, fruit juices, potatoes, sugar-sweetened beverages, and sweets/desserts."Our findings support the beneficial role of healthy plant-based diets in diabetes prevention and provide new insights for future investigation," the researchers wrote in the April 8 issue of the journal Diabetologia.For the study, the investigators analyzed data from more than 10,600 participants in three long-term U.S. studies. Most were white and middle-aged (average age: 54 years). On average, they had a body mass index (BMI) of...
1 in 4 Adults Has Liver Disorder That Ups Heart Risks
15 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Alcohol abuse is a known cause of liver disease. But one in four adults worldwide has a liver condition not connected to drinking that ups the risk of heart disease, according to an American Heart Association scientific statement.Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occurs when abnormally high amounts of fat are deposited in the liver, sometimes resulting in inflammation and scarring. The condition often goes undiagnosed.This "is a common condition that is often hidden or missed in routine medical care. It is important to know about the condition and treat it early because it is a risk factor for chronic liver damage and cardiovascular disease," said Dr. P. Barton Duell, chair of the statement writing committee and a professor of medicine...
Blood Type May Predict Which Cancer Patients Are Prone to Clots
15 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 15, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Cancer patients' blood type may play a role in their risk for dangerous blood clots, researchers say.Cancer and its treatments increase the risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). That includes deep-vein thrombosis (DVT, a blood clot that typically forms in the deep veins of the leg) and pulmonary embolism (PE, a life-threatening condition that occurs when a blood clot breaks free and travels to the lungs' arteries).VTE is the leading cause of preventable hospital deaths in the United States.Factors such as tumor or cancer type are now used to identify cancer patients at high risk of VTE, but many go unidentified. This study concluded that cancer patients with non-O blood types, such as types A, B and AB, are at increased risk for VTE."We've...
