U.S. Surgeons' Group Is Working to Save Trauma Victims in Ukraine
FRIDAY, April 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Images of Ukrainians being carried on stretchers from bombed-out buildings, wounded and bleeding, are heartbreaking, but one American surgeons' group is doing its part to help teach the war-torn country's citizens how to halt life-threatening bleeds.When serious injury strikes, time is of the essence, experts from the American College of Surgeons (ACS) warn. But many of those who care for the injured on the spot aren't health care professionals and lack adequate medical training.However, the good news is that those skills "are easily learned and very doable" by pretty much anyone, said Dr. Roxi Horbowyj.A Philadelphia-based critical care surgeon, Horbowyj is an educator and trainer with an ACS-sponsored campaign called STOP THE BLEED.The...
Early Promise From Experimental Drug to Treat Alzheimer's
1 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers are working on a pill that might safely help people with early Alzheimer’s disease improve their thinking and memory skills and possibly even live independently longer.The new study was only designed to gather data on the experimental drug's safety, but when 26 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease took SAGE-718 daily for two weeks, they showed marked improvements in tests measuring thinking function as quickly as one week. Not only that, these improvements lasted for at least a month."We are seeing an improvement in symptoms that will be meaningful to patients, and being able to see improvements so early on is a really exciting thing," said study author Dr. Aaron Koenig, vice president of early clinical development...
First Human Challenge Trial Shows How COVID-19 Strikes
1 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) – A group of 36 volunteers have completed the first human challenge study of COVID-19, after being given the virus and then monitored to examine what happened to them after infection.Researchers from the Imperial College of London learned a great deal about the virus during the initial study period in March 2021 and in follow-up assessments, including the fact that a tiny 10-micron droplet from a cough or sneeze can make someone sick, according to the findings, which were published Thursday in the journal Nature Medicine. Other findings include that it only takes two days after a person is infected to start shedding virus, and that people shed a lot of virus before they show symptoms. Challenge studies are controversial because they carry some...
House Passes Bill To Limit Insulin Costs to $35 a Month
1 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) – Americans who use insulin to control their diabetes could soon save hundreds of dollars every year on the medicine, after the House passed a $35-a-month cap on insulin costs Thursday. The bill was passed by a 232-193 vote. It now has to pass the Senate with at least 10 Republican votes, though Democrats have said they weren’t sure how that might happen, the Associated Press reported. The Affordable Insulin Now Act would limit cost-sharing under private health insurance and Medicare for a month’s supply of certain insulin products to $35, or 25 percent of a plan’s negotiated price, whichever is less. It would take effect in 2023.Depending on a patient’s condition and treatments, costs can now range from roughly $200 to over $1,000 a...
Had COVID? Getting Vaccine Boosts Resilience Even More, Studies Show
1 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- If you've had COVID-19 but not your COVID shot, you may wonder if getting a vaccine now will really help you.It will, two new studies say.Researchers in Brazil and Sweden confirmed that COVID-19 vaccines provided significant additional protection for people who had already been infected with SARS-CoV-2. The vaccines were especially effective in preventing severe disease."Further research on the need for vaccination for those with a previous COVID-19 infection is a vital step to pandemic policy intervention including guidance on single dose or two dose vaccine protection," said Dr. Julio Croda, a professor at Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul and Fundação in Brazil.He's among the authors of a Brazilian study that looked at the...

1 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) – Check your cupboards for any SKIPPY peanut butter, since you may need to throw the jar out.Skippy Foods LLC has announced a recall of a limited number of jars of certain lines of its peanut butter products because they may contain a small fragment of stainless steel from a piece of manufacturing equipment.What products are affected? Just over 9,300 cases of SKIPPY Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter Spread, SKIPPY Reduced Fat Chunky Peanut Butter Spread and SKIPPY Creamy Peanut Butter Blended With Plant Protein. The 161,692 pounds of peanut butter being recalled are from a limited number of code dates, which can be found on top of the lid.

Good Sense of Direction? Where You Grew Up Is Key
1 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Your ability to find your way around may be influenced by your childhood surroundings.Researchers in the United Kingdom and France have discovered that people raised in the country or suburbs are better navigators than those who grew up in cities, particularly those with grid-pattern streets.The study included nearly 400,000 people in 38 countries who played a mobile game called Sea Hero Quest that was created for Alzheimer's research. Participants had to navigate a boat through a virtual environment to find checkpoints shown on a map."Growing up outside of cities appears to be good for the development of navigational abilities, and this seems to be influenced by the lack of complexity of many street networks in cities," said lead researcher...
Firefighters, Police Can Be Lifesavers If You're Hit by Cardiac Arrest
1 April 2022
FRIDAY, April 1, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- You have a much better chance of surviving a cardiac arrest if non-medical first responders immediately begin CPR or use an automated external defibrillator (AED), according to a new study.Researchers also found that firefighters and police who are first to the scene are often underused when someone suffers a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital.Time is crucial in these cases: Research shows that for every minute of delay in CPR or AED use, chances of survival fall by 7% to 10%."When these agencies see their role as not just preventing crime or stopping fires, but also saving lives, it improves the overall chain of survival for cardiac events," said senior author Dr. Mahshid Abir, an emergency physician at Michigan Medicine-University of...
