Will a Little Drinking Help Your Heart? Maybe Not
MONDAY, March 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- If you believe an occasional tipple is good for your heart, a new study may make you reconsider the notion.Some previous research has suggested that light drinking may benefit the heart, but this large study concluded that any amount of drinking is associated with a higher risk of heart disease, and that any supposed benefits of alcohol may actually be due to healthy lifestyle habits practiced among light and moderate drinkers."The findings affirm that alcohol intake should not be recommended to improve cardiovascular health; rather, that reducing alcohol intake will likely reduce cardiovascular risk in all individuals, albeit to different extents based on one’s current level of consumption," study senior author Dr. Krishna Aragam said in a...
Stakes Are High Ahead of FDA Panel Vote on ALS Drug
28 March 2022
MONDAY, March 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Advocacy groups are pressing U.S. federal regulators to fast-track approval of an experimental drug treatment for the deadly neurological disease ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), with a decision expected this week.The push to approve the drug, so far just called AMX0035, is based on partial data from clinical trials and follows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's controversial approval last year of the Alzheimer's drug Aduhelm. Many of the FDA's own advisors said the costly Alzheimer's drug was unlikely to help patients.But advocacy groups for patients with ALS are pushing hard for approval of AMX0035. They say the need is urgent. Most people with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, die of respiratory failure within three to five...
Owners Can Play Big Role in Dogs' Problem Behaviors
28 March 2022
MONDAY, March 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Chasing light shimmers reflected onto a wall. Obsessive licking or chewing. Compulsive barking and whining. Pacing or tail chasing.Nearly one in three pet dogs suffer from these ADHD-like repetitive behaviors — and researchers now suspect that an animal's home life could be the cause.A study involving thousands of Finnish pet dogs found that certain factors make a canine more likely to develop repetitive behaviors, including:Belonging to a first-time dog owner.Living in a larger family.Being the only dog in a family.Getting little exercise."Environmental factors that potentially increase stress in a dog's life, such as a low amount of exercise or larger family size, may increase the probability of repetitive behavior," said lead researcher...
Had COVID or Gotten Vaccine? Hospitalization Is...
28 March 2022
MONDAY, March 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Been vaccinated? Already had COVID? New research shows that your chances of winding up in the hospital if you get a breakthrough infection are practically nil.In the study, scientists looked at more than 106,000 hospitalized primary care patients, aged 18 and older, at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., who had tested positive for COVID-19 and/or were vaccinated against the disease.Of those patients, only 69 were hospitalized because of a breakthrough COVID infection.Hospitalization rates for COVID-19 were: six in 10,000 for vaccinated patients; three in 10,000 for previously infected but unvaccinated people; and one in 10,000 for vaccinated people who had previously been infected.The differences between the groups was not statistically...
HIV Meds May Also Shield Against COVID Infection
28 March 2022
MONDAY, March 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Certain antiviral drugs used to treat HIV may also guard against COVID-19 infection, a new study suggests. The researchers found that people with HIV who are on antiretroviral treatment (ART) with protease inhibitors may have a lower risk of COVID-19 infection. Protease inhibitors are antiviral drugs that block a critical enzyme (protease) that viruses need to replicate and infect more cells. The study included hundreds of HIV patients at six hospitals in France, including 169 who were taking ART with protease inhibitors and 338 who were taking ART without protease inhibitors. None of the patients (average age 50) had previously been diagnosed with COVID-19. Men accounted for 52% of the patients and women for 48%. Among the patients being...
Deer Can Shed Coronavirus for 5 Days After Infection
28 March 2022
MONDAY, March 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- White-tailed deer can shed and transmit the COVID-19 virus for up to five days after they're infected, according to a study that also identified where the virus develops and replicates in deer.Five days is "a relatively short window of time in which the infected animals are shedding and are able to transmit the virus," said co-author Dr. Diego Diel, director of the Cornell University Virology Laboratory in Ithaca, N.Y.For the study, Diel and his team analyzed data from 2021 surveys of five U.S. states. Their findings were recently published in the journal PLOS Pathogens.The researchers also found that the virus develops and replicates in the deer's respiratory tract, lymphoid tissues (including tonsils and several lymph nodes) and in the...
Out-of-Network Costs Raise Medical Bills for Special Needs Kids
28 March 2022
MONDAY, March 28, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Special needs children often require out-of-network care from specialists, which means more out-of-pocket costs and extra stress for families, a new study finds."In the U.S., the reality is that the more health care needs you have, especially from specialists, the greater chance you will find your needs won't be met, even if you have private insurance coverage," said lead author Wendy Xu, an associate professor of health services management and policy at Ohio State University."Inadequate provider networks can really constrain their access to care and it's an ongoing struggle," she said in a university news release. "These are conditions that will never go away and are pretty severe, and these patients very often face additional care needs...
Head Bump? Here's Signs You Need ER Care
27 March 2022
SUNDAY, March 27, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Knowing the signs of brain injury and when to seek emergency care could save a life, an expert says."The brain is the body's command center," said Dr. Gillian Schmitz, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. "One of the smartest ways to protect it is to be able to spot the signs of a brain injury and to go to the closest emergency department when you need medical attention."A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury that disrupts brain function. The most common type is a concussion, which can be caused by a fall, sports injury, traffic accident or an incident at home.While some symptoms of a concussion can take hours or days to appear, ignoring the signs of a brain injury can put a person at risk of complications. Signs of...
