CDC Lifts Warning on Cruise Ship Travel
THURSDAY, March 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A two-year advisory that warned Americans against going on cruises has been dropped by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.The agency first warned Americans against cruise ship travel in 2020 at the height of the pandemic, and last year said there was an increased risk of getting infected when on the crowded vessels, CBS News reported."While cruising will always pose some risk of COVID-19 transmission, travelers will make their own risk assessment when choosing to travel on a cruise ship, much like they do in all other travel settings," according to a CDC statement issued Wednesday.The agency still advises passengers to get up-to-date vaccinations before boarding a cruise ship, and it suggests travelers consult with a doctor...
Lung Cancer CT Scans Have Already Saved More Than 10,000...
31 March 2022
THURSDAY, March 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- More than 10,000 American lives have been saved since lung cancer screening was introduced for high-risk people who are over 55 and have a history of smoking, a new study shows.But many poor people and those in ethnic/racial minority groups are still missing out on the benefits of screening for the world's leading cause of cancer death, researchers noted.To assess the impacts of the 2013 introduction of low-dose CT scans for high-risk people in the United States, the researchers analyzed data from two large cancer registries.They found a 3.9% per year increase in early (stage 1) detection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and an average 11.9% per year increase in median all-cause survival from 2014 to 2018.Those increases in the early...
Police Records Show Use of Illegal Fentanyl-Laced Pills...
31 March 2022
THURSDAY, March 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Dovetailing with a surge in overdose deaths, the United States has seen a sharp rise in seizures of illicit fentanyl, according to a new report.Law enforcement seizures of pills containing illicit fentanyl rose nearly 50-fold, according to a comparison of data from the first quarter of 2018 with the last quarter of 2021 — with pills accounting for more than one-quarter of seizures by the end of last year.Seizures of fentanyl-containing powder also rose during the study period."An increase in illicit pills containing fentanyl points to a new and increasingly dangerous period in the United States," said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).Volkow noted that pills are often taken or snorted by...
Does Your City Park Make the '25 Happiest' List?
31 March 2022
THURSDAY, March 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Taking a stroll through a city park can give your mood a significant boost, but parks in some cities provide a bigger benefit than those in others, researchers say.In a new study, investigators measured the happiness effect of city parks in the 25 most populous U.S. cities and found that it was roughly equal to the mood boost experienced on holidays like Thanksgiving or New Year's Day."These new findings underscore just how essential nature is for our mental and physical health," said Taylor Ricketts. He is director of the Gund Institute for Environment at the University of Vermont (UVM), in Burlington. "These results are especially timely given our increased reliance on urban natural areas during the COVID pandemic."For the study, the...
'Love Hormone' Turns Lions Into Placid Pussycats
31 March 2022
THURSDAY, March 31, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The "love hormone" oxytocin may be able to turn highly territorial lions into social sweethearts, researchers say. Lions typically guard their turf fiercely, which can be a problem when they're on reserves or in captivity and have less space to share than they do in the wild. The authors of a study published online March 30 in the journal iScience tested whether oxytocin could reduce potentially deadly territorial disputes between lions. The researchers used hunks of raw meat to lure 23 lions at a wildlife reserve in South Africa to a fence so they could spray oxytocin up the lions' noses with a special device. "By spraying the oxytocin directly up the nose, we know it can travel up the trigeminal nerve and the olfactory nerve straight up...
Bruce Willis Stepping Down From Acting After Brain Disorder Diagnosis
30 March 2022
WEDNESDAY, March 30, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- "Die Hard" star Bruce Willis is stepping away from acting following a recent diagnosis of aphasia, a disorder affecting the part of the brain responsible for language.Willis' ex-wife Demi Moore, current wife Emma Heming Willis and daughters announced his decision in an Instagram post Wednesday, noting that "he has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities."About 1 million people in the United States have aphasia, and there are nearly 180,000 new diagnoses every year, according to the National Aphasia Association.Aphasia affects each person differently, depending on the cause and severity. People might not be able to speak or understand what's being said to...
Nap at Preschool May Boost Tots' Learning
30 March 2022
WEDNESDAY, March 30, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Many parents of preschoolers insist that naps are essential to recharge their little ones during the day and improve their mood.Turns out that daytime shut-eye may also boost early literacy skills. New research by scholars in Australia and England suggests that naps help preschoolers map letters to sounds, a key to reading success later on."I think we provided some initial evidence, but also combining with the literature and other studies looking at similar things, we can say that nap does seem to help with learning," said study author Hua-Chen Wang, a lecturer at the Macquarie University Center for Reading in Sydney.The new study included 32 children ages 3 to 5 from two Sydney day care centers. Though the tots napped regularly, they...
Computer Helps 'Locked-In' ALS Patients Communicate, Shop Online
30 March 2022
WEDNESDAY, March 30, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A handful of "locked-in" amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients can now work a laptop computer using their brain waves, thanks to an implant lodged in a major vein inside their skull.The implant — a stent lined with 16 miniscule electrodes — is nestled in a vein located near the motor cortex of completely paralyzed patients, the authors of a new study on the procedure explained."This device senses the electrical activity that occurs in the motor cortex when someone thinks about moving their limbs," said co-researcher Douglas Weber, a professor of mechanical engineering and neuroscience at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh. "These movement signals are then transmitted to an external device where they are decoded from...
