'Overgrowth' of Brain Area in Infancy Could Play Role in Autism
WEDNESDAY, March 30, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers report that overgrowth of a part of the brain that's associated with autism occurs during infancy, a finding that may make it possible to diagnose the disorder at an earlier age. The amygdala is a small structure in the brain that's crucial in interpreting social and emotional clues, such as understanding facial expressions or recognizing potential threats in our surroundings. It's long been known that the amygdala is abnormally large in school-age children with autism, and it's been suggested that the amygdala plays a major role in the social difficulties common in people with autism. The researchers said this study is the first to find that the overgrowth of the amygdala in people with autism occurs in the first year of life,...
IV Anemia Meds Can Sometimes Trigger Severe Allergy
30 March 2022
WEDNESDAY, March 30, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The chances of a severe allergic reaction being triggered by intravenous (IV) iron formulations for anemia are higher with some than others, but all pose a low risk, a new study says.Researchers compared five IV formulations commonly used to treat iron deficiencies among older patients who can't swallow or tolerate iron pills.They analyzed the medical records of about 167,000 older Medicare patients who received IV iron formulations between 2013 and 2018. The formulations included iron dextran, ferumoxytol, ferric gluconate, iron sucrose and ferric carboxymaltose.All five carried a very low risk of a life-threatening allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), but the highest rates were for iron dextran (10 patients per 10,000) and ferumoxytol (4...
Combo of COVID & Flu Even More Lethal for Hospitalized...
30 March 2022
WEDNESDAY, March 30, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Hospitalized COVID-19 patients who also have the flu have a double whammy that brings a much higher risk of severe illness and death than COVID alone, according to a new study. The findings highlight the need to test COVID-19 patients for the flu and underscore the importance of vaccination against both COVID-19 and influenza, U.K. researchers said.“We found that the combination of COVID-19 and flu viruses is particularly dangerous. This will be important as many countries decrease the use of social distancing and containment measures," said study co-author Kenneth Baillie, a professor of experimental medicine at the University of Edinburgh."We expect that COVID-19 will circulate with flu, increasing the chance of co-infections. That is...
Rash Decisions: Many Triggers for Children's Skin Outbreaks
30 March 2022
WEDNESDAY, March 30, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A sudden rash can be a puzzling and alarming symptom in a child. But as one expert explains, rashes are common in kids and often caused by eczema or an allergic reaction."Eczema is a disease that causes patches of dry skin, which is often accompanied by intense itching. Scratching can damage the skin, make the rash worse, and increase the risk for an infection," said Dr. JiaDe (Jeff) Yu, an assistant professor of adult and pediatric dermatology at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.The most common form of eczema in children is atopic dermatitis, which usually starts very early in life.Eczema goes away with time in many kids, but about half will still have it when they're adults. There's no way to know whether childhood eczema will...
'Motivational' Talks Won't Help Dieters Lose Weight: Study
29 March 2022
TUESDAY, March 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- It takes a lot of will to successfully lose weight, but a new research review suggests that "motivational" conversations with a health provider may make little difference.The review looked at studies that tested the effects of motivational interviewing, where a health care provider asks questions to encourage patients to talk about what they'd like to change and why.The technique is commonly used in health care, to help address issues such as smoking and problem drinking. It has also been incorporated into weight-loss programs that focus on lifestyle changes.But the new review -- published March 29 in the Annals of Internal Medicine -- discovered little benefit.Researchers found that when motivational interviewing was folded into weight-loss...
Out-of-State Residents Can Now Seek Medical Aid in Dying in Oregon
29 March 2022
TUESDAY, March 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Oregon will no longer require terminally ill patients to be residents of the state to use its law allowing physician aid in dying.A lawsuit that challenged the residency requirement as unconstitutional was settled Monday, with the Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon Medical Board agreeing to stop enforcing the requirement and to ask the Legislature to remove it from the law that was first enacted in 1997, the Associated Press reported."This requirement was both discriminatory and profoundly unfair to dying patients at the most critical time of their life," Kevin Diaz, an attorney with Compassion & Choices, the national advocacy group that sued over Oregon's requirement, told the AP.Compassion & Choices sued on behalf of Dr. Nicholas...
Does Social Media Harm Kids? It Might Depend on Their Age
29 March 2022
TUESDAY, March 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Your child's risk of harm from social media is higher at certain ages and it's different for girls and boys, researchers report.To figure out how social media use affected "life satisfaction" among 10- to 21-year-olds, the investigators analyzed long-term data on 17,400 young people in the United Kingdom. The new study found key periods when heavy social media use was associated with lower life satisfaction calculated a year later. For girls, that period was between 11 and 13 years of age. For boys, it was 14 and 15."With our findings, rather than debating whether or not the link exists, we can now focus on the periods of our adolescence where we now know we might be most at risk and use this as a springboard to explore some of the really...
AHA News: Rounding Up Healthy Rice Choices
29 March 2022
TUESDAY, March 29, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Believe it or not, there are thousands of varieties of rice, with colors ranging from black to purple to red and more.Of course, the type of rice most of us know best is white rice. You may have heard some people say rice isn't nutritious or it will lead you to gain weight. But is this inexpensive food that's a staple for more than half the globe's population all that bad?To get a closer look at the rice health debate, let's start with varieties and colors. The texture, flavor and nutrition of each type of rice is a little different.Rice is classified as short, medium or long grain. Short-grain rice is the type used in sushi and has a chewy texture. Medium-grain rice like arborio and valencia tends to be more tender and will...
