How the COVID Virus Sneaks Past Immune Defenses
TUESDAY, Dec. 28, 2021 (HealthDay News) – Just how SARS-CoV-2 eludes the human immune system has mystified scientists for close to two years, but now they've uncovered an important clue.Turns out the virus that causes COVID-19 has some stealth moves that allow it to spread from cell to cell, hiding from the immune system, new research reveals. “It’s basically an underground form of transmission,†said study author Shan-Lu Liu, of the Center for Retrovirus Research at Ohio State University in Columbus.And, he added, this cell-to-cell transmission is not sensitive to antibodies from prior COVID infection or vaccination.The new study compares SARS-CoV-2 to an earlier coronavirus (SARS-CoV) that caused the 2003 SARS outbreak, and it sheds light on how viruses spread and resist a...
Exercise Soon After Breast Plastic Surgery Is Safe, Healthy
28 December 2021
TUESDAY, Dec. 28, 2021 (HealthDay News) – While some plastic surgeons recommend no exercise for weeks after breast augmentation, new research suggests the ban may not be necessary.A new clinical trial found that women who resumed exercise after one week off did not have more complications and were more satisfied with results of their surgery."These findings are in line with a broader tendency recently seen in other surgical fields in which early exercise was shown to be safe without increasing complication rates,†said study authors Dr. Filipe Basile and Dr. Thais Oliveira. They are plastic surgeons in private practice in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil.Today, recommendations on resuming exercise after surgery vary, ranging from a few weeks to a few months. The authors noted that urging...
Gun-Related Spinal Cord Injury in Childhood Brings...
28 December 2021
TUESDAY, Dec. 28, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Spinal cord injuries in childhood are devastating no matter how they happen, but new research suggests that kids felled by gunshots are even worse off than those who suffer such an injury nonviolently.About 13% of spinal cord injuries in U.S. children are gun-related."Gunshot-related spinal cord injuries have serious social and economic consequences in adulthood well beyond physical disability and reducing them has not been a research priority, nor an adequately investigated public health concern," said lead author Dr. Jessica Pruente, an assistant professor of pediatric physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Michigan Health's C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. In this study, the researchers interviewed 45 adults with...
When Kidney Transplant Fails, Trying Again Is Best...
28 December 2021
TUESDAY, Dec. 28, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- You were lucky enough to receive a kidney years ago, but now it is failing. Is it better to opt for another transplant or go on dialysis?New research suggests a second transplant may be the better option.Kidney transplants from deceased donors function for a median of 10 to 15 years, which means many don't last for the rest of the recipient's life. It has been unclear whether it's best to get another kidney transplant or be treated with dialysis at that point.To learn more, researchers analyzed data from more than 2,300 adults in Austria whose first transplanted kidney failed and they were put on a waiting list for a second kidney transplant.Over a 10-year follow-up, patients who received a second kidney transplant lived an average of 5.8...
High-Altitude Exercise Could Bring Danger to People With Type 1 Diabetes
28 December 2021
TUESDAY, Dec. 28, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Hiking and skiing in the mountains may wreak havoc on the blood sugar levels of those with type 1 diabetes, new research suggests.Exercise offers many benefits -- such as improved heart health, better insulin sensitivity and quality of life -- for people with diabetes and is often recommended by their doctors. However, it can also trigger hypoglycemia -- low blood sugar -- in people with diabetes during and after a workout. "These findings suggest that exercise performed shortly after exposure to high altitude may increase the risk of exercise-mediated hypoglycemia," said study author Cory Dugan, from the University of Western Australia. A severe drop in blood sugar requires quick action because there's a risk that the person will suffer...
More Flights Canceled as Omicron Continues to Hit Flight Crews
27 December 2021
MONDAY, Dec. 27, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- The Omicron variant continued to keep flights grounded on Monday as airlines canceled at least 2,400 more flights around the world, including 900 in the United States.Several airlines acknowledged that COVID-19 was contributing significantly to the cancellations, not just the usual bad weather and maintenance issues, the New York Times reported.A JetBlue spokesman said that the airline had "seen an increasing number of sick calls from Omicron," the newspaper reported. As people return to air travel, some for the first time in a couple of years, airlines were forced to cancel 2,300 flights in the United States on Saturday and Sunday alone, according to data service FlightAware.To keep it in perspective, these flights are just a small percentage...
'Breakthrough' COVID Infections Can Still Be Deadly for Cancer Patients
27 December 2021
MONDAY, Dec 27, 2021 (HealthDay News)-- When fully vaccinated cancer patients develop a breakthrough case of COVID-19, most will become seriously ill and end up hospitalized, a new study finds.The conclusion stems from the experience of 54 cancer patients who developed COVID-19.Sixty-five percent were hospitalized following infection, while nearly 1 in 5 (19%) were placed on a mechanical ventilator for breathing assistance. In all, 13% died."We hoped that the vaccines would be highly protective — at least that was our theory," said study author Dr. Jeremy Warner. "So yes, we were surprised and disappointed to see that patients were still getting pretty sick and, sometimes, dying."Still, the findings reflect a seven-month stretch beginning in November of last year.That, the study team...
Ketamine May Quickly Ease Tough-to-Treat Depression
27 December 2021
MONDAY, Dec. 27, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Ketamine, once most famous as a "club" drug, can rapidly improve hard-to-treat depression and curb suicidal thoughts, a new review confirms.In recent years, ketamine has emerged as something of a wonder drug for some people who do not get better with standard antidepressants.For those patients, who may have tried multiple conventional medications, ketamine can quickly ease depression symptoms -- even within a day. Experts say that speedy response is especially critical for people at risk of self-harm.The new review, published recently in the British Journal of Psychiatry Open, pulls together all published research on ketamine as a treatment for psychiatric disorders. And it found that for treatment-resistant depression and suicidal thoughts,...
