More Evidence COVID Vaccine Offers Good Protection for Most Cancer Patients
WEDNESDAY, April 6, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Vaccines did a good job protecting most cancer patients against COVID-19, but those with blood cancers remain at risk for breakthrough infections, new research suggests.The study analyzed nationwide data on more than 64,000 U.S. cancer patients who were vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2. The researchers looked at types of cancer, key treatments and other risk factors, including age, sex, race, whether patients had other diseases and where they lived."This type of analysis is only possible because we have a huge COVID cohort and control cohort," said study leader Jing Su, an assistant professor at Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis.The U.S. National Institutes of Health COVID database — one of the world's largest — includes...
EPA Proposes to Ban Last Form of Asbestos Used in U.S.
6 April 2022
WEDNESDAY, April 6, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A proposed rule to ban ongoing uses of the only known form of asbestos imported into the United States has been introduced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).The ban would apply to chrysotile asbestos, which is known to cause cancer and is found in products like asbestos diaphragms, sheet gaskets, brake blocks, aftermarket automotive brakes/linings, other vehicle friction products, and other gaskets imported into the United StatesThe proposed rule would rectify a 1991 court decision that largely overturned the EPA's 1989 ban on asbestos and significantly weakened the agency's authority to reduce risks to human health from asbestos or other existing chemicals, the EPA said."Today, we're taking an important step forward to...
Hospital Work During Pandemic Was Like a War Zone: Study
5 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 5, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Health care workers battling the pandemic may be suffering moral traumas at a rate similar to soldiers in a war zone, a new study suggests.The pandemic has brought a stream of stories about overtaxed health care workers, facing repeated COVID surges, resource shortages and public resistance to the vaccines that can keep people out of the hospital. Workers' distress is often called burnout.But the new study looked at a different concept called "moral injury." It refers to the damage done when people cause, witness or fail to prevent acts that violate their moral beliefs.Moral injury was first defined a little over a decade ago, in military veterans who were scarred by their combat experience -- but in a way that was distinct from the anxiety,...
FDA Warns of U.S. Norovirus Cases Linked to Canadian Oysters
5 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 5, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The United States and Canada are investigating a multistate outbreak of norovirus illnesses linked to raw oysters from Canada.Restaurants and retailers should not serve or sell these potentially contaminated raw oysters, which were harvested in the south and central parts of Baynes Sound, British Columbia, Canada, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.The oysters were distributed in 13 states, but others may also have received them through further distribution within the United States, the FDA said.States confirmed to have received the tainted oysters are California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Oregon, Texas and Washington. The FDA and the states conducted what is known as...
Gun Violence Wreaks Havoc on Lives of Survivors, Their Families
5 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 5, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Gun violence can cause significant, long-lasting mental harm to survivors and their families, according to a new study.In the year after their injury, survivors are at increased risk for pain, mental health and substance use disorders. Their family members also have higher likelihood for mental health issues. Both victim and loved ones have the added burden of higher health care costs, researchers found.About 40,000 people in the United States are killed by guns each year, while an estimated 85,000 survive gun injuries."Understanding how firearm injuries reverberate across peoples' lives and families provides insights that we can use to provide better care for patients," said lead author Dr. Zirui Song, an associate professor of health care...
Does Cutting Back on Salt Help Folks Battling Heart Failure?
5 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 5, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- If you have heart failure, there's good news and bad news on how much it would help you to cut back on salt.New research finds that while it doesn't prevent death or hospitalization among patients, it does appear to improve their quality of life.Patients with heart failure have been told for years to reduce the salt in their diet as a way to help prolong life, but among more than 800 patients from six countries, reducing salt intake didn't prevent deaths, visits to the emergency room or hospitalizations, the researchers found. Still, "we do think that there is a small amount to be gained by reducing the amount of sodium in the diet," said researcher Dr. Justin Ezekowitz, a professor in the division of cardiology at the University of Alberta in...
AHA News: The Pandemic's Ripple Effects on Health Have Begun. What Can We Do Now?
5 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 5, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- For more than two years, COVID-19's direct harm has been visible in overflowing intensive care wards and grim statistics. Now, some of its indirect effects are coming into focus.Studies are linking the pandemic to higher rates of fatal heart disease and stroke, deaths from addiction-related problems and more. The exact causes of these connections are still being determined, experts say, but the effects may be long-lasting.With heart health, part of the problem is that people often avoided or delayed treatment because of COVID-19 fears, said Dr. Donald Lloyd-Jones, a cardiologist, epidemiologist and chair of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago."People lost touch with their usual...
AHA News: She Wasn't Having a Heart Attack – It Was 'Broken Heart Syndrome'
5 April 2022
TUESDAY, April 5, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Life has not slowed for Patricia Harden of Oakland, California, since she sold her public relations company in 2020 or since retiring from her remaining consulting work the following year. Now 73, she's serving on the board of nonprofits, taking part in a writing group and doing Pilates."At first, I was sort of overwhelmed with all the choices," she said. "But it's been exciting."On an August afternoon in 2021, Harden was pumping iron at her gym when she felt fatigued. She just wanted the workout to be finished, which was very unlike her. She attributed the feeling to the fact she hadn't been lifting weights regularly and to the afternoon heat.Finishing, however, provided little relief. She felt a tightness across her chest...
