AHA News: Born in China With a Heart Defect, She's Now 14 and Calls Her New Heart 'Thor'
MONDAY, Feb. 21, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Four years after Jamie Jennings started the adoption process to be a single mom, she got the call at 3 a.m. A 1-year-old girl in China with a congenital heart defect needed a home. Jamie had 48 hours to decide whether this girl would become her daughter.Jamie looked first at the medical file. Before falling in love with the girl's picture, Jamie wanted to make sure she could handle the heart issue. To help her decide, she consulted a pediatrician and a cardiologist.The baby had a hole in her heart that would need to be fixed. She also had a small right ventricle and pulmonary stenosis, a condition in which the valve between the heart's right ventricle and pulmonary artery is too narrow, obstructing blood flow. But doctors were...
Dog Years: New Research Will Track Canine Aging
21 February 2022
MONDAY, Feb. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Joshua Akey admits he didn't care much for dogs in his youth."My wife, who grew up with dogs, convinced me that we should get a dog our first year in graduate school. I very begrudgingly agreed, and have been a dog person ever since," said Akey, a professor with Princeton University's Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics.Akey's turnaround as a dog lover is impressive because he's now part of a nationwide research effort called the Dog Aging Project, which aims to help dogs live longer.What's more, he's even enrolled his own 1-year-old purebred Labrador, Zoey, as one of the participants.With 32,000 dogs already signed up to the program's "pack," the Dog Aging Project intends to figure out why canines tend to age at vastly different...

Study Finds No Heart Benefit From Veggies. Nutritionists...
21 February 2022
MONDAY, Feb. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Eating vegetables may not help protect you against heart disease, according to a new study that's triggered strong reactions from critics.The analysis of the diets of nearly 400,000 British adults found that raw vegetables could benefit the heart, but not cooked vegetables. However, the researchers said any heart-related benefit from vegetables vanished altogether when they accounted for lifestyle factors such as physical activity, smoking, drinking, fruit consumption, red and processed meat consumption, and use of vitamin and mineral supplements."Our large study did not find evidence for a protective effect of vegetable intake on the occurrence of CVD [cardiovascular disease]," researcher Qi Feng, an epidemiologist in the University of...
Use Antibiotics Sparingly After Birth to Preserve Newborn's 'Microbiome'
21 February 2022
MONDAY, Feb. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- New research suggests that doctors should be cautious about giving newborns antibiotics because they can upset a baby's gut microbiome -- the balance of bacteria in their digestive systems."We were surprised with the magnitude and duration of the effects of broad spectrum antibiotics on the infants' microbiome when compared to effects of those same antibiotics on adults' microbiota," said study leader Dr. Debby Bogaert, chair of pediatric medicine at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. "This is likely because the antibiotic treatment is given at a time that infants have just received their first microbes from their mother and have not yet developed a resilient microbiome," Bogaert said in a university news release.Broad-spectrum...
Science Reveals Acne's Secrets, Moving Closer to Better Treatments
21 February 2022
MONDAY, Feb. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A type of skin cell that plays a significant role in fighting acne has been identified -- a finding researchers say could lead to new ways to treat the common skin ailmentHair follicles have been known to be major factors in acne development, but this study suggests that other skin cells may have a larger impact."These findings may transform the way we treat acne," said study author Dr. Richard Gallo, professor and chairman of dermatology at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. "Previously, it was thought that hair follicles were most important for acne to develop," Gallo said in a university news release. "In this study, we looked at the cells outside of the hair follicle and found they had a major effect on controlling...
Signs of Autism Differ in Brains of Boys, Girls
21 February 2022
MONDAY, Feb. 21, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers have discovered differences between the brains of girls and boys with autism that they say may improve diagnosis of the developmental disorder in girls."We detected significant differences between the brains of boys and girls with autism, and obtained individualized predictions of clinical symptoms in girls," said study senior author Vinod Menon, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at Stanford University. "We know that camouflaging of symptoms is a major challenge in the diagnosis of autism in girls, resulting in diagnostic and treatment delays," Menon said in a university news release.In the study, he and his university colleagues used artificial intelligence to analyze MRI brain scans from 637 boys and 136 girls with...
Got Hives? Here's How to Relieve Them at Home
20 February 2022
SUNDAY, Feb. 20, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When you break out in hives, you want relief fast. This common skin reaction is characterized by itchy bumps or raised, swollen patches. Fortunately, hives are usually harmless and short-lived, a Chicago dermatologist says."A single hive tends to last for a few minutes to a few hours. Most hives clear within 24 hours," Dr. Danilo Del Campo said in an American Academy of Dermatology news release.Several factors, including sunlight, stress and an allergic reaction to food or medicine, can cause hives, also known as urticaria.While anyone can get hives, Black women, people who have eczema, and smokers are at increased risk.If you have darker skin, hives are often the same color or slightly darker or lighter. If you have lighter skin, hives will...
