Newer Mesh Slings for Stress Incontinence a Safe, Effective Option for Women: Study
THURSDAY, March 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- For women with frequent urine leakage, a newer and simpler "sling" surgery works as well as the standard version, according to a new clinical trial.The study involved women with stress urinary incontinence, where movement that puts pressure on the abdomen — such as running, lifting, coughing or laughing — causes urine leakage. When the condition is severe, surgery may be recommended.In the United States, that most often means a "sling" procedure, where surgical mesh is implanted under the urethra (the duct through which urine exits the body). The mesh lifts and supports the urethra and the neck of the bladder like a hammock, and can prevent leakage.The new trial, done at 21 hospitals in the United Kingdom, pitted two approaches against...
Many U.S. High School Kids Report Sadness, Stress, Abuse...
31 March 2022
THURSDAY, March 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- If there's any doubt that America's teens have suffered mightily during the pandemic, a new government survey offers fresh proof of the pain restrictions from the coronavirus has inflicted on this vulnerable group.Many high schoolers have experienced physical and emotional abuse, poor mental health and chronic sadness and hopelessness as COVID-19 raged across the country for the past two years, researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report."Our data make it clear that young people experienced significant disruption and adversity during the pandemic and are experiencing a mental health crisis," report author Kathleen Ethier, director of the CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health, said during a Thursday...
Job Done: Scientists Fill in Missing Gaps to Complete...
31 March 2022
THURSDAY, March 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The Human Genome Project produced the most complete map of human genetics ever assembled in 2003 — but that map still held many uncharted territories.It did not contain about 8% of the human genome, representing crucial regions and large gaps that have remained hidden from scientists.Now, an ambitious team of researchers has gone back and filled those empty spaces, assembling the first fully complete and gapless sequence of a human genome.The Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium, a team of around 100 scientists across the United States, announced Thursday that it has made publicly available a truly comprehensive set of genetic instructions for the human body."Talk about perfectionists. These scientists saw this amazingly important puzzle...
New White House Website Speeds Access to Free COVID Care
31 March 2022
THURSDAY, March 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The Biden administration announced Wednesday that it has launched a new website that includes help for people trying to find free COVID prevention and treatment quickly. COVID.gov will bring into one place several types of critical COVID-19 information, from finding high-quality masks to testing requirements for international travel."We could not have done this six or eight months ago, because we didn't have all the tools we have now," Jeff Zients, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, told NPR.This new tool will also provide information on community risk levels, as well as vaccination sites and forms for ordering eight free at-home tests per household."Today, I'm announcing the launch of COVID.gov... a one-stop shop where anyone...
Bong Use at Home Quickly Fills Air With Toxins
31 March 2022
THURSDAY, March 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Smoking pot through a bong doesn't protect the nonsmokers in the room from the dangers of secondhand smoke, a new study warns.Bongs have been touted as a safe way to protect nonsmokers from secondhand marijuana smoke. But it can expose them to extremely high concentrations of fine particulate matter — five to 10 times greater than levels from wildfires in the San Francisco Bay Area in September 2020, according to senior researcher Katharine Hammond. She is a professor of environmental health sciences at the University of California, Berkeley."Cannabis bong smoking in the home generated several times greater particulate matter than tobacco cigarettes and hookah," Hammond said.Even 12 hours after pot smoking stopped, concentrations of fine...
AHA News: After COVID-19, Experts Say Watch For These Potential Heart and Brain Problems
31 March 2022
THURSDAY, March 31, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- COVID-19 was full of surprises early on, causing mild problems in the short term for some people and serious complications for others.Long term, it may be just as capricious.Studies are spotting potential heart and brain problems up to a year after infection with SARS-CoV-2, even in people who had mild COVID-19.The possible long-term effects include "a myriad of symptoms affecting different organs," said Dr. José Biller, director of the COVID-19 neurology clinic at Loyola Medicine in Maywood, Illinois. "So, it could be the lungs, it could be cardiovascular, it could be the nervous system, it could be mental health or behavioral problems."Estimates vary widely on how many people may be affected. Research suggests about 10%...
New Drug May Ease Tourette Tics in Kids, Teens
31 March 2022
THURSDAY, March 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental drug shows promise in reducing tics in young people with Tourette syndrome.Ecopipam, which failed as a weight loss medication, may reduce tics by 30% in kids and teens with Tourette without the unpleasant side effects of current treatments, researchers say."This drug significantly reduced tics, compared to placebo, and did not have side effects associated with other approved medications that cause weight gain and neuropsychiatric side effects like mood changes and unwanted movements," said lead researcher Dr. Donald Gilbert, a pediatric movement disorders and Tourette syndrome specialist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder that causes motor and verbal tics. These are repetitive...
FDA Advisory Panel Narrowly Votes Against New ALS Drug
31 March 2022
THURSDAY, March 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- In a close vote, an advisory panel for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration decided not to recommend the approval of an experimental drug for the deadly neurological disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).The panel's decision had been closely watched, with patient advocacy groups lobbying hard for fast-track approval.However, on Wednesday the panel ruled 6-4 that data from a single, mid-stage study sponsored by Amylyx Pharmaceuticals was not enough to prove the company's drug makes a meaningful difference in patients' lives.“I think it would be a disservice to the patients and their families to approve a treatment that is of uncertain benefit,†Dr. Kenneth Fischbeck, of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), said during the...
