Older Kids More Vulnerable to MIS-C: Study
MONDAY, April 11, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Older children and teens are the most vulnerable to severe cases of a rare inflammatory disorder that can occur in youngsters who've had COVID-19, a new study finds. It included 232 children aged 18 and younger who were admitted to 15 hospitals in Canada, Costa Rica and Iran with suspected multi-system inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) between March 1, 2020, and March 7, 2021. The World Health Organization's definition for MIS-C includes: fever that lasts for at least three days; elevated C-reactive protein, which indicates inflammation; illness involving two or more systems with no obvious microbial cause of inflammation, and a positive COVID test or suspected contact with a positive case. Most of the patients in the study (89%) had...
Black Cancer Patients Frailer Than Their Peers
11 April 2022
MONDAY, April 11, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Older Black American cancer patients have higher rates of frailty and disability than their white peers, which may help explain why Black patients also have higher cancer death rates, new research suggests.The researchers noted that Black patients are more likely to die from cancer than most other groups, despite efforts to reduce cancer-related racial disparities.The new study included 553 older adults who had recently been diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancer and were listed in a registry at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.The researchers found that 50% of Black patients and nearly 33% of white patients were frail, with symptoms such as weakness and fatigue.The study also found that Black patients were twice as likely as white...
Some Sick Patients Get Cosmetic Surgery to Boost Appearance
11 April 2022
MONDAY, April 11, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Some patients with serious illnesses get cosmetic surgery to look healthier and be more comfortable in social situations or at work, a small study finds.Researchers interviewed 12 patients who had cosmetic surgery at the start or during treatment for conditions such as stroke, advanced melanoma, prostate cancer, advanced cervical or thyroid cancer and Hodgkin’s lymphoma."Patients dealing with serious illnesses have visible signs of their health problems, which make them feel unhappy about themselves," said senior author Dr. Murad Alam, vice chair of dermatology and chief of cutaneous and aesthetic surgery at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. "Cosmetic procedures that improve appearance make these patients feel...
Sitting Tai Chi Helps Stroke Survivors Recover
11 April 2022
MONDAY, April 11, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Sitting tai chi provides stroke survivors with recovery benefits similar to those achieved with standard rehabilitation, a new study finds.Tai chi involves a series of slow movements of the hands, arms, neck, legs and core combined with deep breathing. Researchers developed a tai chi routine that stroke survivors can do while sitting."Tai chi has a long history as a form of exercise in China," said lead author Jie Zhao, a lecturer at Yunnan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, in China. "We revised the tai chi movements for people who have weakness or partial limb paralysis. It is tailored so that participants can move one arm with the help of the healthy arm."The new study included 160 adults (average age: 63) in China who had suffered...
Walking: Your Best Step to a Healthier Heart
10 April 2022
SUNDAY, April 10, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When the world gets you down, go for a walk and make your heart happy.Physical activity is one of the best ways to manage stress and boost your mood, while reducing your risk for heart disease and stroke, according to the American Heart Association (AHA).The AHA recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week – or about 30 minutes a day, five days a week. And the minutes don't have to be consecutive to bring benefits."Walking is a great way to improve your health and your mental outlook, and it doesn't take a lot of expensive sporting equipment to do it. Put on a good pair of shoes and grab a water bottle and you're ready to go," said Donna Arnett, a past president of the AHA and a dean at the University of...
Devices That Can Help You Get a Restful Night's Sleep
9 April 2022
SATURDAY, April 9, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- If you're thinking about getting a device to help you sleep better, an expert offers some advice.Sleep-tracking devices range from those that record how much you sleep to those that monitor your sleep stages, but it can be difficult to know if they'll provide good results and useful information. "Because these devices record wake and sleep based on movement, if you are generally someone who doesn’t move around very much during sleep and moves around a lot during wake time, then you're more likely to get an accurate recording of your sleep amounts wearing one of these devices," said Dr. Philip Alapat. He is an assistant professor of sleep medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.Other sleep devices that have been shown to benefit...
Battling Mom-to-Be's Preexisting High Blood Pressure Brings No Harm to Baby
8 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When women go into pregnancy with mild high blood pressure, treating the condition can cut the risk of health threats to themselves and their babies, a new clinical trial has shown.Experts said the findings could change the way many women have their blood pressure managed during pregnancy.Until now, the value of treating pregnant women for milder chronic high blood pressure had been unclear. And there have been concerns that it might reduce blood flow to the fetus, potentially impairing growth.In the new trial's findings, published April 2 in the New England Journal of Medicine, those fears were not realized. Instead, treating women reduced the risk they would develop severe preeclampsia -- a dangerous pregnancy complication -- and helped...
Do You Really Need That Nose Job? Selfies Distort Facial Features, Study Shows
8 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- With the advent of smartphones came the rise of selfies, shared daily by "like"-seeking millions across social media.But a small new study suggests that, unlike photos taken with regular cameras, smartphone selfies distort facial features in a not-so-flattering way. And those unappealing — if inaccurate — results may be fueling a hankering for plastic surgery."Social media has led to an increase in requests for plastic surgery from patients due to increased awareness of their looks," explained study author Dr. Bardia Amirlak.It's a trend that's has been underway since 2014, added Amirlak, an associate professor of plastic surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.That finding was based on work with 23 women...
