Everyday Household Noise Is Stressing Out Your Dog: Study
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 15, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- If your pooch often seems anxious, it could be due to common household noises such as from a vacuum or microwave oven, researchers say.It's well known that a sudden loud racket such as fireworks or thunderstorms can spark anxiety in dogs, but this new study shows that even day-to-day sounds may upset them, and that owners may not realize it."We feed them, house them, love them and we have a caretaker obligation to respond better to their anxiety," said lead author Emma Grigg, a research associate and lecturer at the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis.Her team surveyed 386 dog owners about their dogs' responses to household sounds and also assessed dog behaviors and human reactions from 62 online...
Too Often, Fatal Heart Attack or Stroke Is First Sign of...
17 November 2021
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 17, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- A fatal heart attack or stroke is often the first indication of heart disease in middle-aged smokers, according to a new study.It also found that heart disease is the leading complication among smokers when compared with deaths from other causes -- including lung cancer. In addition, smoking is associated with developing heart disease at a younger age and shortening a person's life by as much as four to five years."These results offer a very compelling message that people who smoke need to hear -- smoking can kill you before you even know you have cardiovascular disease," said Dr. Esa Davis, a member of the American Heart Association's Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health. "It can, indeed, be a silent killer," noted Davis, who was...
Grandmother's Brain In Sync With Her Grandkids': Study
17 November 2021
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 17, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Grandmothers can have a strong bond with the little children in their families — and the connection even shows up on brain scans, researchers say. The investigators embarked on a unique study, looking at the brains of older women — not for signs of dysfunction, as with dementia, but to study their connections with their grandchildren."What really jumps out in the data is the activation in areas of the brain associated with emotional empathy," said study author James Rilling, a professor of anthropology at Emory University, in Atlanta. "That suggests that grandmothers are geared toward feeling what their grandchildren are feeling when they interact with them. If their grandchild is smiling, they're feeling the child's joy. And if their...
HPV Vaccination Rises in States That Don't Require...
17 November 2021
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 17, 2021 (HealthDay News) – When young people are allowed to give their own consent for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines, vaccination rates are higher, new research shows.The new study suggests that allowing teens to consent without parental involvement could be an important strategy for boosting HPV vaccination rates. This consent is already a policy in several U.S. states.While researchers can't say definitively if these laws drive higher vaccination rates, it's worth considering what impact they might have if widely adopted, said senior study author Dr. Sangini Sheth. She is associate professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at Yale University in New Haven, Conn."It's certainly food for thought," Sheth said in a university news release. "I...
Pfizer Asks FDA for Emergency Approval of Its COVID Antiviral Pill
16 November 2021
TUESDAY, Nov. 16, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Pfizer announced Tuesday that it has asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to approve the emergency use of its new antiviral pill in people at high risk for severe COVID-19."With more than 5 million deaths and countless lives impacted by this devastating disease globally, there is an urgent need for life-saving treatment options. The overwhelming efficacy achieved in our recent clinical study of Paxlovid, and its potential to help save lives and keep people out of the hospital if authorized, underscores the critical role that oral antiviral therapies could play in the battle against COVID-19," Pfizer chairman and CEO Albert Bourla, said in a company statement. "We are moving as quickly as possible in our effort to get this potential...
Lung Cancer Survival Continues to Improve, But Not for All
16 November 2021
TUESDAY, Nov. 16, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Lung cancer survival rates in the United States continue to rise, but certain racial groups are still hit hard by the disease, the American Lung Association reports.Its fourth annual "State of Lung Cancer" report shows that the average five-year survival rate increased from 14.5% to nearly 24%, but it remains at 20% for people of color overall, and 18% for Black Americans."The report highlights important news — more people are surviving lung cancer; however, it also underscores the fact that, sadly, health disparities persist for communities of color," said Harold Wimmer, national president and CEO for the lung association."Everyone deserves the opportunity to lead a full and healthy life, so more must be done to address these health...
Stem Cell Therapy Boosts Outcomes for Some Heart Failure Patients
16 November 2021
TUESDAY, Nov. 16, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Heart failure patients who fit a specific profile can benefit from injection of stem cells delivered directly into their heart muscle, a new study finds.Patients with mild or moderate heart failure who have high levels of inflammation responded well to the stem cell injections, and experienced a decline in their risk of heart attacks, strokes and heart-related death, clinical trial results show.Stem cells injected into targeted areas of a failing heart become activated by inflammation and start pumping out beneficial biochemicals, explained lead researcher Dr. Emerson Perin, medical director of the Texas Heart Institute in Houston."These cells are little factories of different proteins, cytokines and other products that then have an effect...
Pfizer COVID Pill to Be Made, Sold Cheaply in 95 Poor Countries
16 November 2021
TUESDAY, Nov. 16, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Pfizer Inc. announced Tuesday that it has reached an agreement for its promising COVID-19 antiviral pill to be made and sold cheaply in 95 developing nations.The countries included in the licensing deal are mostly in Africa and Asia, and they account for more than half of the world's population, the company said in a statement. Pfizer is partnering on the agreement with Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), a United Nations-backed public health organization working to increase access to lifesaving drugs for low- and middle-income countries.Under the terms of the deal, Pfizer will grant a royalty-free license for the pill to MPP and manufacturers can then take out a sublicense. They will receive Pfizer's formula for the drug, and be able to sell it for...
