Fracking Tied to Lymphomas, Asthma in New Study
WEDNESAY, Aug. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Research into a possible link between childhood health problems and natural gas wells in western Pennsylvania is wrapping up with some answers.Children who lived near these wells were more likely to develop rare lymphoma, the research found.In addition, residents of all ages near the wells had increased risk of severe asthma reactions, the Associated Press reported.The AP reported that researchers said their look at preterm births and birth weights among families living near gas wells yielded mixed results similar to those in other studies. There is a possibility that gas production might reduce birth weights by less than an ounce on average. Raina Rippel, former director of the Southwest Pennsylvania Environmental Health Project, called the...
Cancers, Especially Gastro Tumors, Are Rising Among...
16 August 2023
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Breast, colon and pancreatic cancer rates are increasing at concerning rates among America's young adults, a new study finds.Breast cancer accounted for the most cases in adults under 50 between 2010 and 2019, but gastrointestinal cancer rates grew fastest among the early-onset cancers studied. Senior researcher Dr. Daniel Huang said the data suggest the need to reexamine cancer screening strategies, including the age to begin. "Increased efforts are required to combat the risk factors for early-onset cancer, such as obesity, heavy alcohol consumption and smoking," said Huang, an assistant professor of medicine at the National University of Singapore.Looking at data for 562,000 U.S. patients, his team found that overall early-onset cancer...
AHA News: His Heart Stopped While Watching TV. His Wife...
16 August 2023
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 16, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- After a seven-hour drive back home with his family to Woodbury, Minnesota, Dave Ogle planned to do what he always did: haul his suitcases upstairs to unpack and do laundry."Dave, please, let's just relax and leave it for tomorrow," said his wife, Kris Patrow.He reluctantly agreed and joined her on the couch to watch their favorite new series, "Yellowstone."A few minutes into the show, Ogle made a raspy sound. The noise was so startling that Patrow jerked her head around to check on him.Ogle's eyes and mouth were open, but he wasn't moving. His head had flopped onto the back of the couch.She shook him and shouted his name. Nothing.He wasn't breathing.Ogle, 53, had gone into cardiac arrest. His heart wasn't beating.Less than a...
ERs Are Flooded With Kids in Mental Health Crisis, U.S....
16 August 2023
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- America’s emergency rooms are being flooded by children suffering from psychiatric emergencies like anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts or attempts, a new joint report from three leading medical associations warns. This surge in pediatric mental health emergencies has overwhelmed ERs in the United States, says the joint paper from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and Emergency Nurses Association (ENA).Unfortunately, the kids coming to the ER are less likely to receive the ongoing mental health care they truly need, said lead author Dr. Mohsen Saidinejad, director of pediatric emergency medicine at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.“The ER has become a de facto referral...
U.S. COVID Hospitalizations Rise for Fourth Straight Week
16 August 2023
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- New hospitalizations for Americans with severe COVID are climbing once again.The number of patients being admitted to hospitals has grown for each of the past four weeks, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data shows. Southeastern states have been hit the hardest.In the week ending Aug. 5, the United States had 10,320 newly hospitalized patients. That’s a 14.3% increase, but it's still much lower than last summer’s peak of more than 42,800 in a week.The Southeastern region that includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee had nearly 4.6 new patients hospitalized with COVID-19 per 100,000 residents. Overall, the country saw just over 3 new patients per 100,000...
Fit When Young? You May Have a Lower Risk of 9 Cancers as You Age
16 August 2023
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Having good fitness while young can really pay off when it comes to cancer risk later in life. New research found that cardiorespiratory fitness -- the ability to do aerobic exercise -- was associated with up to 42% lower risk of nine cancers, including head and neck, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, colon, kidney and lung.Researchers used Swedish registry data up to the end of 2019, covering background information, medical diagnoses and deaths for male conscripts who started their military service between 1968 and 2005.The conscripts were age 16 to 25 when they started their service and had a battery of assessments at that time, including height, weight (body mass index), blood pressure, muscular strength and cardiorespiratory...
Pain After Heart Attack May Predict Long-Term Survival
16 August 2023
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Whether a patient experiences pain a year after a heart attack -- and not necessarily heart pain -- may predict a person’s long-term survival. New research suggests it is linked with higher likelihood of death within the next eight years. “Pain causes significant loss of function and may lead to disability, all of which contribute to major, global public health issues. Research indicates that pain is linked to higher risk of cardiovascular disease and overall death; however, the impact of pain on death after a heart attack has not yet been examined in large studies,†said study author Linda Vixner, an associate professor of medical science at the School of Health and Welfare at Dalarna University in Falun, Sweden.In the study,...
Uncovering Hidden Consciousness in Comatose Brains
16 August 2023
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Some patients with acute brain injuries can’t respond to verbal commands, making them appear to be unconscious though they still have some level of awareness.Researchers recently studied this hidden consciousness to better understand this puzzling phenomenon.“Our study suggests that patients with hidden consciousness can hear and comprehend verbal commands, but they cannot carry out those commands because of injuries in brain circuits that relay instructions from the brain to the muscles,†said study leader Dr. Jan Claassen. He's associate professor of neurology at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City.Findings from this study could help doctors more quickly identify the brain-injured patients...
