Orgasm's Key Role in Women's Sexual Satisfaction
WEDNESDAY, April 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The more orgasms you have, the more you come to expect.And the reverse is also true, according to a new study of the so-called orgasm gap -- in which men climax far more often than their female partners."Our expectations are shaped by our experiences, so when women orgasm less, they will desire and expect to orgasm less," said study author Grace Wetzel, a doctoral student in social psychology at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J. "If women do lower their expectations in this way, the more orgasm inequality may perpetuate in relationship," she said in a Rutgers news release.The study included 104 sexually active heterosexual couples who were asked how often they climax, how often they’d like to and how often they expect people...
Why Do Some Smokers Never Get Lung Cancer?
13 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Strong natural protection against cancer-causing mutations may explain why some longtime smokers don't develop lung cancer, according to a new study.Researchers compared mutations in cells lining the lungs from 14 never-smokers, ages 11 to 86, and 19 smokers, ages 44 to 81. The smokers had used tobacco up to 116 pack years. One pack year equals 1 pack of cigarettes smoked every day for a year.The lung cells were collected from patients who were undergoing tests unrelated to cancer."These lung cells survive for years, even decades, and thus can accumulate mutations with both age and smoking," said study co-senior author Dr. Simon Spivack, a professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and pulmonologist at the affiliated Montefiore...
More Than Half of Cancer Survivors Fear a Recurrence
13 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- You've battled and beaten back a bout of cancer, so now you can take comfort in your victory, right?Wrong, claims new research that found most cancer patients and survivors fear their disease will return once treatment ends, a new analysis shows.Researchers reviewed 46 studies from 13 countries and found that 59% of cancer survivors and patients had at least a moderate level of fear of cancer recurrence, while 19% have a high level of fear.On average, women and younger people had a greater fear of cancer recurrence. Cancer patients and survivors had similar rates of fear of cancer recurrence, according to the findings published April 6 in the journal Psycho-Oncology."Knowing the prevalence and severity of fear of cancer recurrence for the...
Black Patients Less Likely to Get Into Pancreatic Cancer...
13 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Black Americans are far less likely to be included in clinical trials of pancreatic cancer drugs than white Americans, and eligibility criteria are a significant factor in that gap, according to a new study."The standard of care in cancer treatment is informed by studies conducted with predominantly non-Hispanic white patients," said study author Dr. Jose Trevino, chairman of surgical oncology at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine. "Revising the standard criteria for clinical trial enrollment could have a profound effect on increasing eligibility of underserved populations, reducing disparities in trial participation and creating results that are more reflective of the patients that we serve," he said in a university news...
With COVID, Inflammation May Be Triggering Loss of Smell
12 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Immune system-triggered inflammation is the likely reason for the loss of smell reported by many COVID-19 patients, a new study finds."As a neuropathologist, I wondered why smell loss is a very common symptom with COVID-19 but not with other respiratory diseases," said lead study author Dr. Cheng-Ying Ho. She is an associate professor of pathology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. "So, we decided to dig deeply into the mechanics of smell to see what actually occurs at the cellular level when SARS-CoV-2 invades the body," Ho said.For the study, her team analyzed tissue from the olfactory bulb in 37 people who died of various causes. Located at the base of the brain, the olfactory bulb transmits nerve impulses...
U.S. STD Cases Spiked During Pandemic
12 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Even as the COVID-19 pandemic kept people isolated at home, sexually transmitted disease (STDs) cases increased across the United States.Although cases fell in the pandemic's early months, infections rose again by the end of 2020, with gonorrhea, syphilis and congenital syphilis surpassing 2019 levels, according to a new U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. "STDs have been increasing now for maybe seven years in a row," said Dr. Leandro Mena, director of the CDC's Division of STD Prevention."These increases have roots in a decrease in funding public health, which has affected health departments' ability to provide screening, treatment, prevention and partner services," he added.Increased substance use, which is linked to...
Pandemic Brought Surge in Fatal Drug Overdoses in U.S. Teens
12 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Drug overdose deaths among America's teens have skyrocketed during the pandemic, and not because drug use is more common, researchers report.In 2020, overdose deaths among adolescents nearly doubled, compared with 10 years before the pandemic. They rose another 20% in the first six months of 2021, a new study finds."Teen drug use rates are at historic lows, so this is really because drug use is becoming more dangerous," said lead researcher Joseph Friedman, an addiction researcher at University of California, Los Angeles. "There's really been a spread of counterfeit pills that look like prescription pills, but, in fact, they're made in underground labs and sold on the illicit market, and they contain illicit fentanyl," he said.The majority of...
Your Personality May Safeguard Your Aging Brain
12 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Certain personality traits may make older adults more or less vulnerable to waning memory and thinking skills, a new study suggests.The study, of nearly 2,000 older adults, found that those high on the "conscientious" scale — organized, self-disciplined and productive — were less likely to develop mild cognitive impairment. That refers to subtler problems with memory and other mental skills that sometimes precede dementia.On the other end of the spectrum were older folks high in neuroticism — a tendency to be anxious, moody and vulnerable to stress. They had an increased risk of developing mild cognitive impairment, versus people low on the neuroticism scale.The findings, published April 11 in the Journal of Personality and Social...
