Worries May Raise Men's Heart Risks, Even When Young
MONDAY, Jan. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Worrying can take a toll on your psyche, but new research suggests that when middle-aged men fret too much, they face a higher risk for developing diabetes, heart disease or stroke down the road.And this increase in risk is on par with the health risks linked to heavy drinking, the findings showed."Our findings suggest that anxiety is linked to unhealthy biological processes that pave the way to developing heart disease and diabetes in men," said study author Lewina Lee. She is an assistant professor of psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine and a clinical research psychologist at the National Center for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder of the VA Boston Healthcare System. Taking steps to improve mental health may help lower risks for...
Depression Might Predispose You to Believe COVID Vaccine...
24 January 2022
MONDAY, Jan. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines abounds, and people with depression are more likely than others to fall for it, a new study finds."One of the notable things about depression is that it can cause people to see the world differently — sort of the opposite of rose-colored glasses. That is, for some depressed people, the world appears as a particularly dark and dangerous place," said lead author Dr. Roy Perlis. He's associate chief of research in the psychiatry department at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. "We wondered whether people seeing the world this way might also be more susceptible to believing misinformation about vaccines. If you already think the world is a dangerous place, you might be more inclined to believe that...
AHA News: Faith-Based Nonprofit Gives Teen Moms a Path...
24 January 2022
MONDAY, Jan. 24, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- At age 16, Barbara Palmer became a single mom. Suddenly, she felt trapped in a community where she had felt so free.As the middle-class daughter of two police officers, she did not expect to be profiled as poor and criminal."At the doctor's office, they assumed I didn't have insurance," she said. Similarly, while at a store, the clerk asked if she'd stolen her bank card. "Until that point, I didn't understand poverty."Her experiences influence the faith-based services of Kingdom Kare Inc., her nonprofit in Odenton, Maryland, which nurtures teenage moms to achieve their educational and career goals. In the next year, Kingdom Kare will support 20 young moms as they get high school diplomas and jobs; in three years, they hope the...
U.S. Teens Were Already in Mental Health Crisis Before...
24 January 2022
MONDAY, Jan. 24, 2022 (HealthDay Now) -- Alaina Stanisci has grappled with an eating disorder since she was 10, and the disruptions of the pandemic only made things worse for the high school senior."I actually experienced a relapse at the beginning of the pandemic because of this lack of structure," Stanisci, 18, of Mountain Lakes, N.J., said during a HealthDay Now interview. "During the pandemic, we really saw especially among teens a craze about exercise and eating healthy. Across the whole country, we really saw a rise in eating disorders, which impacted me as well."Stanisci and the rest of her generation are facing what amounts to a mental health crisis in the United States, experts say. These kids and teens already faced significant challenges, and the pandemic has only made them...
Some Patients With Macular Degeneration Could Stop Monthly Eye Injections
24 January 2022
MONDAY, Jan. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Injection medications can save the vision of older people with macular degeneration, but the ongoing regimen is taxing. Now a preliminary study raises the possibility that some patients can safely be "weaned off" the treatment.Researchers found that of just over 100 patients they treated with the eye injections, nearly one-third were able to "pause" the therapy within the first year. And of those followed for at least two years, most did not need to restart.Experts stressed that the findings are early and do not identify which patients might safely take a treatment break, or possibly even stop."Weaning is an interesting concept," said Dr. Emily Chew of the National Eye Institute (NEI) in Bethesda, Md., which helped fund the research.But at the...
Opioid Overdose Antidote Urged for Schools After Student's Fentanyl Death
24 January 2022
MONDAY, Jan. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Schools should stock the opioid overdose antidote naloxone and train staff and students how to respond to an overdose, experts say after the apparent fentanyl overdose death of seventh grader at a school in Hartford, Conn.“Naloxone should be available in all schools, and there should be education on signs and symptoms of overdose and how to use this,†Dr. Craig Allen, vice president of addiction services for Hartford HealthCare’s Behavioral Health Network, told the Associated Press. “Unfortunately, a horrible incident like this happens and suddenly everyone’s vision is 20/20.â€The 13-year-old student was hospitalized Jan. 13 after falling ill at a Hartford school where no naloxone was available. Since the student was so young, an...
Are Pins or a Cast Better for a Broken Wrist?
24 January 2022
MONDAY, Jan. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A cast is as good as metal pins for treating a broken wrist, researchers report.A broken wrist in which bone fragments move out of their normal alignment is called a displaced wrist fracture. After the bones are put back in place, they're typically held in position by a molded plaster cast or by pins/plates.Surgery to place pins -- also called K-wires -- is costly and poses some risk. A cast is cheaper, but there's debate about whether it's as effective.“Surgical fixation with K-wires did not provide better wrist function at 12 months compared with a molded cast, indicating that a cast is an acceptable first-line treatment," the authors wrote in the Jan. 19 issue of The BMJ. Matthew Costa, a professor of orthopedic trauma at Oxford University...
Many Kids Aren't Wearing Helmets While Sledding, Poll Finds
24 January 2022
MONDAY, Jan. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When American kids do downhill skiing or snowboarding, they almost always wear a helmet, their parents say, but they're far less likely to do so when cruising down a neighborhood hill on a sled. That puts them at risk for serious head injuries, experts warn.“Because sledding is so common, parents may overlook important safety concerns,†said Sarah Clark, co-director of the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health. “However, to avoid injuries, parents should ensure the sledding area is free of trees or other objects and has a flat runoff area at the bottom of the hill. Parents should also make sure children understand strategies to avoid collisions with other sledders.â€The safety warning...
