AHA News: At 5, She Had Near Total Heart Block. Now, a 'Generator' Powers Her Heart.
MONDAY, April 4, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Kindergartener Sophia Schilpp came home from school gripping her temples. Her head was pounding, and the pain made her throw up. She snuggled on the couch with her favorite pineapple blanket, an ice pack on her head.Her mother, Shannon, thought it was a migraine, like the ones she often got. The next day, she took her "Sophie-Bear" to the doctor. He noticed Sophia's low heart rate and that her chart showed it had been well below average during her last few visits."I'll never forget seeing her next to me happy as she could be, and trying not to show her how scared I was," Shannon said. Sophia had been born healthy and rarely got sick. Though she often got tired after playing, Shannon and her husband, Jeff, of Redmond, Oregon,...
Parents' Expectations Driving College Kids to Dangerous...
4 April 2022
MONDAY, April 4, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Kids today feel more pressured by their parents' high expectations, and that may be feeding a rise in perfectionism, a new study suggests.Some people claim the title "perfectionist" with pride, but in psychology the term means something very different.It does not refer to having high standards or striving to achieve goals, explained lead researcher Thomas Curran."It's a neurosis -- a fear of revealing what's irredeemably flawed about us," said Curran, an assistant professor of psychological and behavioral science at the London School of Economics and Political Science."If we thought about perfectionism like this," he added, "few would consider it to be positive."Unfortunately, research shows it's on the rise among college students. In a 2019...
Heart Groups Endorse New Class of Meds for Some Heart...
4 April 2022
MONDAY, April 4, 2022 (HealthDay News) – People who live heart failure with reduced ejection fraction can now turn to a diabetes drug to help them feel better, stay out of the hospital and potentially live longer. Three leading heart organizations -- the American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association and the Heart Failure Society of America -- released new guidelines on Friday that added sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors to the list of heart failure treatments. These medications cause the kidneys to remove sugar from the body through urine. They have also been found to lower the risk of death in heart failure patients."When I discuss it with my patients, I explain that the evidence behind these recommendations is very solid. If you took 100 clinicians who...
Body & Mind: Rehab Psychologists Help When Illness,...
4 April 2022
MONDAY, April 4, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- If you're recovering from a significant injury or illness, a rehabilitation therapist could be a big help in getting back to your normal daily life, according to experts."You don't get a manual that comes with your injury that tells you how to navigate returning to your usual pattern of functioning," said Brigid Waldron-Perrine, a rehabilitation psychologist at Michigan Medicine-University of Michigan. "In many cases, there are cognitive, behavioral or emotional barriers to progress that patients may not understand or know how to manage," she said in a university news release. "As experts in human functioning, that's where we can be useful guides."About 25% of Americans -- more than 60 million -- have some type of disability, and millions are...
Want a Healthier Neighborhood? Plant a Tree
4 April 2022
MONDAY, April 4, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- It turns out that trees might be good medicine.How so? New research shows that having lots of trees in your neighborhood could improve your health and lower your medical costs.“It’s time to stop looking at trees simply as an amenity and start recognizing the essential services they provide," said study author Ming Kuo, director of the Landscape and Human Health Lab the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana.Her team analyzed 13 years of data from Kaiser Permanente Northern California on 5 million people. The aim: to compare levels of tree cover in the five blocks around people's homes with their medical care and costs.After accounting for income and other factors, researchers found that people with the fewest trees in their neighborhood...
Follow-Up Care Can Prevent Repeat ER Visits for Child's Asthma
4 April 2022
MONDAY, April 4, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- After a child shows up in the emergency room in the throes of an asthma attack, follow-up care is the best way to avoid another visit to the hospital down the road.But when researchers analyzed claims data on more than 90,000 asthma-related emergency department (ED) visits by children ages 3 to 21 in California, Massachusetts and Vermont, they found that only 23% actually received follow-up care, even though guidelines recommend all patients be referred for follow-up within a month of an ED visit for asthma."An urgent ED visit for asthma may suggest the child needs daily asthma medications to better control their asthma, or that they are having difficulty avoiding asthma triggers or recognizing symptoms," said study lead author Dr. Naomi...
Managing a Baby's Low Blood Sugar Is Key to Health
4 April 2022
MONDAY, April 4, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Correcting low blood sugar in infants reduces their risk of brain development problems later in life, new studies show.Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is common in babies, affecting more than 1 in 6. Glucose (sugar) is the main source of energy for the brain, and untreated hypoglycemia in infancy can affect a child's brain development up to 4.5 years of age, the researchers explained.One of their studies included 480 children who were born at risk of hypoglycemia. Their brain development was assessed at 2 and 4.5 years of age, and their academic achievement and other measures of brain function were checked at ages 9 and 10.Researchers found no difference in academic performance between children who had hypoglycemia as newborns and those who did...
When Diabetes Strikes, Eye Exams Can Save Your Sight
3 April 2022
SUNDAY, April 3, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Could an annual eye exam save your sight if you have diabetes? Most definitely, one vision expert says."Diabetes is known to alter the health of the blood vessels in the retina and these vascular changes do not cause symptoms in the early stages," explained Dr. Jeffrey Sundstrom, an ophthalmologist and retina specialist at Penn State Health Eye Center in Hershey, Pa."It's extremely important to detect any changes early so we can take steps to prevent vision loss -- and the way to do that is with an annual dilated eye exam," he said in a Penn State news release.With diabetes, the blood vessels in the retina often become leaky, and this can trigger a swelling of the macula -- the part of the retina at the back of the eye that is responsible for...
