A Penicillin Allergy Is Bad News If You Get a Dental Implant
THURSDAY, April 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- While the vast majority of dental implant procedures go smoothly, related infections can up the risk for implant failure.Antibiotics can keep that risk at bay, with penicillin the typical go-to choice. But new research warns that when patients are given an alternative antibiotic due to concerns over penicillin allergy, the risk for dental failure appears to double.Tracking more than 800 patients, investigators found that while dental implants fail in 8.4% of patients prescribed penicillin, that figure shoots up to more than 17% among those given a different antibiotic."Dental implants fail at a very low rate," said study lead author Dr. Zahra Bagheri, a clinical assistant professor at New York University College of Dentistry. "But implant...
What Works Best for Ruptured Achilles Tendons?
14 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A ruptured Achilles tendon can reduce a weekend warrior to a limping one. And there's no single right way to treat it.People who've suffered this common injury may fare just as well with physical therapy as with surgery, a new clinical trial shows.The Achilles is the largest tendon in the body, connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. When it ruptures, often during sports or high-impact exercise, fibers in the tendon tear and separate.Studies have suggested that on average, people with Achilles tendon ruptures have similar outcomes whether they have surgery to stitch the tendon back together or go for rehab therapy alone.But those studies have been small, said Dr. Stale Myhrvold, the lead researcher on the new trial.That makes it harder...
AHA News: At 38, She Had Two Strokes in One Day
14 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 14, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Even though her neck was throbbing, Saundra Minge invited her 7-year-old nephew and 3-year-old niece over for a Labor Day swim. She chalked up the pain to sleeping funny and thought it would go away.For five hours, she played with the kids in the pool. Her neck pain was getting worse. That night she woke up with an excruciating headache, reminiscent of the migraines she gets.She took a pain reliever and went downstairs to sleep so she wouldn't bother her husband, Mark. Hours later, when her cellphone alarm sounded, Saundra – who was then 38 – went back upstairs to get dressed for work.When she said goodbye to Mark, he said, "Are shoes optional today?" It was a joke – a reference to the fact she wasn't wearing...
Two New Omicron Subvariants Fueling COVID Infections in...
14 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Rising coronavirus infections in New York state appear to be driven by two new versions of the Omicron BA.2 variant, and may explain why the state has been the national coronavirus hot spot in recent weeks, state health officials said Wednesday.The two subvariants — called BA.2.12 and BA.2.12.1 — accounted for more than 70% of new cases in March, and now account for more than 90%, the New York State Department of Health said in a statement. One in five coronavirus cases in the Finger Lakes region are caused by the two subvariants."We are alerting the public to two Omicron subvariants, newly emerged and rapidly spreading in upstate New York, so New Yorkers can act swiftly," State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett said in the statement....
Live Healthy, Live Longer Without Dementia
14 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Staving off Alzheimer's disease might just take a healthy diet, exercise and an active mind, a new study suggests.Women and men who follow a healthy lifestyle live longer — and longer without Alzheimer's or other dementias, researchers say."Eating a healthy diet rich in vegetables, berries, whole grains, and low in fried or fast foods and red or processed meat, together with engaging in physical and cognitive activities, such as reading books, visiting museums and playing crosswords, might lower the risk of Alzheimer's as older people age," said lead researcher Dr. Klodian Dhana. He is an assistant professor of internal medicine at the Rush Institute of Healthy Aging in Chicago.Although this study can't prove that a healthy lifestyle is...
Biden Administration Extends COVID Public Health Emergency for 90 Days
14 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- America's public health emergency plan for COVID-19 will continue for at least another 90 days, the Biden administration announced Wednesday. Pushing the deadline to mid-July means that vulnerable Americans will keep getting the health care benefits the program offers.The emergency plan has been in effect for over two years, during which time it has made it possible for people who may otherwise have lost health coverage to stay enrolled in Medicaid without the usual paperwork checks that would be required, even if their incomes had risen higher than that allowed, The New York Times reported. The program experienced record levels of enrollment during the pandemic. The emergency declaration "has given us a tremendous sense of security in an...

In U.S., Price Tag for MS Care Tops $85 Billion
14 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 14, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- In 2019 alone, multiple sclerosis (MS) cost Americans an estimated $85.4 billion, a new study finds. That amount included over $63 billion in direct medical costs and $22 billion in indirect non-medical costs."The findings of this study help underscore the burden of MS in the U.S. and our hope is our results will inform decision-making regarding MS-related health resources," said study author Bruce Bebo.

Symptoms can include numbness, tingling, mood changes, memory problems, pain, fatigue, blindness and paralysis, according to...
