Philadelphia Becomes First U.S. City to Bring Back Indoor Mask Mandate
TUESDAY, April 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Faced with rising COVID-19 case counts, Philadelphia has announced that it will reinstate an indoor mask mandate next week.City officials announced the change on Monday, as COVID-19 cases have climbed across the country due to the highly transmissible Omicron subvariant known as BA.2. Philadelphia has an automatic indoor mask mandate that kicks in whenever cases in the city rise to a "Level 2." That happens when daily case counts and hospitalizations are still low, but "cases have increased by more than 50% in the previous 10 days."That's what happened in the past week and a half, when the average number of cases rose 70%. "This is our chance to get ahead of the pandemic," City Health Commissioner Dr. Cheryl Bettigole said during a media...
New Drug Halves Death Rate in Those With Severe COVID,...
12 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental medication for critically ill COVID-19 patients appears to work so well that the drug's maker announced Monday it has stopped its clinical trial early and will apply for emergency use authorization.The medication, sabizabulin, halved the death rate in COVID-19 patients who were receiving supplemental oxygen and were at high risk of serious lung disease and death; the trial was halted last Friday upon the advice of independent safety monitors because it worked so well, Veru Inc. officials said."This study represents a significant milestone in the global fight against COVID-19 as sabizabulin is the first drug to demonstrate a clinically and statistically meaningful reduction in deaths in hospitalized patients with moderate to...
Could Some Rheumatoid Arthritis Meds Help Lower...
12 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- In their search for a drug to prevent Alzheimer's disease, scientists are taking a look at certain rheumatoid arthritis drugs.Preliminary findings suggest that a type of rheumatoid arthritis drug known as TNF inhibitors may lower dementia risk in rheumatoid arthritis patients who also suffer from heart disease. But no one is suggesting these drugs be prescribed broadly to stave off Alzheimer's disease. The study results "should be merely considered hypothesis-generating," stressed study lead author Rishi Desai. He's an assistant professor of medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston.Instead, Desai said his team recommends "additional studies in diverse populations to investigate this observation...
Study Finds Just One Dose of HPV Vaccine May Be Enough
12 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A single dose of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine provides as much protection against cervical cancer as the standard three-dose regimen, a new study finds."These findings are a game-changer that may substantially reduce the incidence of HPV-attributable cervical cancer, and positions single-dose HPV vaccination as a high-value and high-impact public health intervention that is within reach for us," said Sam Kariuki, acting director general at the Kenya Medical Research Institute, where the study was conducted.The findings may boost the odds that the World Health Organization will reach its goal of having 90% of 15-year-old girls vaccinated against HPV by 2030, according to study leader Ruanne Barnabas, chief of infectious diseases at...
Half of World's People Suffer From Headaches
12 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- If you suffer from headaches, you have plenty of company. Headaches afflict half of the world's population, and women are more likely to get them than men, a new paper says."We found that the prevalence of headache disorders remains high worldwide and the burden of different types may impact many. We should endeavor to reduce this burden through prevention and better treatment," said study lead author Lars Jacob Stovner, of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.The researchers reviewed 357 studies published between 1961 and the end of 2020. They found that 52% of people have a headache within a given year, including 14% with migraine, 26% with a tension-type headache and about 5% with a headache for 15 or more days a month.On...
For Smokers With Heart Trouble, Quitting Equals the Benefit of 3 Meds: Study
12 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Quitting smoking can give heart disease patients nearly five additional years of life without heart problems, according to a new study."Kicking the habit appears to be as effective as taking three medications for preventing heart attacks and strokes in those with a prior heart attack or procedure to open blocked arteries," said study author Dr. Tinka van Trier, of Amsterdam University Medical Centre in the Netherlands.The new study included nearly 1,000 patients 45 and older who were still smoking at least six months after having a heart attack and/or undergoing stent implantation or bypass surgery. They were generally treated with standard heart medications such as antiplatelets, statins and blood pressure-lowering drugs.Researchers used...
AHA News: How to Keep Your Dog's Heart Healthy
11 April 2022
MONDAY, April 11, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Anyone who has been on the receiving end of a dog's love and devotion knows these furry friends are nothing if not good for our hearts.There's plenty of research to show that's more than a warm, fuzzy feeling. Studies show dog ownership benefits heart health by reducing social isolation, helping people stay physically active and reducing blood pressure – major risk factors for heart disease and stroke. They may even help people live longer.But a pooch's heart needs attention, too. And there are steps humans can take to make sure they get it. They just aren't the same steps people take to protect their own heart health."Diet and exercise do not matter the same for a dog's heart health as they do for people," said Amanda...
Hints That Breakthrough CAR-T Therapy May Fight Solid Tumor Cancers
11 April 2022
MONDAY, April 11, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- An immune system-based therapy that's proven effective against blood cancers also might prove useful in battling solid tumor cancers, early clinical trial data show.A small group of patients with testicular and ovarian cancer appeared to respond well to "CAR-T" treatment with immune system cells that were genetically reengineered to target their tumors, researchers said Sunday during a presentation at an American Association for Cancer Research meeting, in New Orleans.About 86% of patients with recurring or persistent cancer had their tumor stop growing or start to shrink, and 43% had a significant decline in their tumors, said lead researcher Dr. John Haanen, a medical oncologist at the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam."The nice...
