Heart Disease & Sleepless Nights Often Go Together
FRIDAY, April 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Insomnia is widespread in heart disease patients and significantly boosts the risk of heart attack, stroke or other major heart event, a new study says.The findings show the need to check for and treat sleep problems in heart disease patients, according to researchers.“Our study indicates that insomnia is common in heart disease patients and is linked with subsequent cardiovascular problems regardless of risk factors, coexisting health conditions and symptoms of mental health," said lead author Lars Frojd, a medical student at the University of Oslo in Norway.The new study included more than 1,000 heart disease patients (average age: 62). They participated for an average 16 months after a heart attack and/or a procedure to open blocked...
Few People Get Infected Heart Devices Removed, Despite...
8 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When implanted heart devices get infected, doctors recommend surgery to remove them, but many patients ignore that advice, a new study reveals.More than eight in 10 patients with an infected implant (such as a defibrillator or pacemaker) choose antibiotic treatment instead, though it puts their life at risk. Having the devices removed carries a 43% lower risk of death, according to a new study led by the Duke Clinical Research Institute in Durham, N.C."This is an important message about a persistent gap in care: These devices should be removed when an infection occurs, and their removal saves lives," said lead study author Dr. Sean Pokorney. He is an electrophysiologist and cardiologist at Duke University School of Medicine and an institute...
New Insights Into Why Alzheimer's Can Bring Drowsiness
8 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Alzheimer’s patients are often drowsy during the day, but it might not be because of poor sleep at night.Instead, a clinical trial that monitored patients' sleep and then studied their brains after death discovered an entirely different reason for such sleepiness -- they suffer a loss of neurons that help keep a person awake."You can think of this system as a switch with wake-promoting neurons and sleep-promoting neurons, each tied to neurons controlling circadian rhythms," said study co-lead author Joseph Oh, a medical student at the University of California, San Francisco. "Finally, with this post-mortem tissue, we’ve been able to confirm that this switch, which is known to exist in model animals, also exists in humans and governs our...
Could HIV Meds Help Slow Advanced Cancers?
7 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The introduction of HAART (highly active anti-retroviral therapy) in the mid-1990s revolutionized the treatment of HIV/AIDS, halting disease progression and dramatically extending lives.Now, a small new study suggests another potential use for one of the standard HAART medications: It halted disease progression in about a quarter of patients who were battling advanced colon cancer."What is most surprising is that this is a class of drugs we have used effectively for viruses for many years," said study author Dr. David Ting. "And now this study opens the opportunity to develop this class of drugs for cancer."We are still trying to understand why some patients might benefit more than others," said Ting, who serves as director of the Tumor...
Hundreds of Overseas Flights Canceled After Mask Rules Dropped
7 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Just weeks after dropping masking rules, some overseas airlines have canceled hundreds of flights as they struggle with staffing shortages related to COVID-19.This comes as the leading U.S. airlines have urged the Biden administration to scrap a mask mandate for passengers.Swiss airline EasyJet removed its mask mandate on March 27, after the United Kingdom removed all travel restrictions earlier in March. But between March 28 and April 3, EasyJet had to cancel 202 of its 3,517 flights scheduled to depart from the U.K., according to data from the aviation analytics company Cirium, CBS News reported.The company did not cancel any flights departing from the U.K. during the same period in 2019, before the pandemic.The recent increase in canceled...
AHA News: Traditional Dances Mix Music, Movement, Heritage and Health
7 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 7, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Anybody who's twisted, hustled, boot-scooted or learned how to do the Dougie knows dancing can be more than just a fun way to spend a Saturday night. But when music and motion link someone to their heritage, it might provide a special kick, boosting pride, social connections and even health.Studies have found health perks from culturally relevant dance programs that used styles as varied as Spanish flamenco, choreography to Black gospel music, and traditional Greek dances.In Honolulu, Keawe Kaholokula has done extensive research on hula, the traditional Hawaiian dance. "We saw huge benefits – clinically, culturally, socially," said Kaholokula, head of the department of Native Hawaiian Health at the University of Hawaii at...
Could Viagra, Cialis Raise Men's Odds for Eye Trouble?
7 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Men, you may be thinking mostly about your performance in the bedroom when you take drugs like Viagra and Cialis, but you might want to be on the lookout for vision problems that can crop up once you start taking them.In a new study, taking erectile dysfunction medications regularly translated into a higher risk for three vision-damaging conditions. However, even though the increased risk was 85%, the absolute risk was still low. While a relatively small percentage of men will develop these conditions because so many men take these medications — 20 million prescriptions are dispensed each month in the United States — that means there are many cases, the researchers noted. The conditions are serious retinal detachment (SRD), retinal...
Is the CDC in Crisis? Former Agency Directors Debate Its Future
7 April 2022
THURSDAY, April 7, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A handful of former directors of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say they support a sweeping review of the agency that's been ordered up by CDC head Dr. Rochelle Walensky.Earlier this week, Walensky announced that she has asked outside experts to conduct a month-long review of the agency's inner workings, as a means of improving the CDC's ability to track and respond to public health threats. The agency has come under heavy fire for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.The five former CDC heads who spoke at a Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health forum on Tuesday all agreed it's a wise move for the embattled agency."I would say it's very healthy to ask for outside help," said Dr. Bill Foege, who served as CDC director...
