Pandemic Puts 'Outdated' Infection Control Practices Under Scrutiny
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 10, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- The COVID-19 pandemic has offered some lessons on respiratory disease transmission, and now a new review suggests that hospitals could use those insights to create even smarter infection-control policies.The review, published Nov. 9 in the Annals of Internal Medicine, suggests that some longstanding infection-control tactics at hospitals are "outdated."And certain changes, like greater use of N95 masks, might be in order.Current infection-control measures are based, in part, on a "false simplification" of respiratory virus transmission, said lead review author Dr. Michael Klompas.The traditional teaching was that most respiratory viruses, like the flu and common cold, are mainly transmitted by respiratory "droplets" -- relatively heavy...
Jog on: Exercise Won't Raise Your Odds for Arthritic Knees
10 November 2021
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 10, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Dr. Kim Huffman, an avid runner, gets a fair amount of guff from friends about the impact that her favorite exercise has on her body."People all the time tell me, 'Oh, you wait until you're 60. Your knees are going to hate you for it'," Huffman said. "And I'm like, 'That's ridiculous'."Next time the topic comes up, Huffman is well-armed: An extensive British analysis of prior study data has found no link between a person's amount of exercise and their risk for knee arthritis.The research team combined the results of six clinical trials conducted at different places around the globe, creating a pool of more than 5,000 people who were followed for 5 to 12 years for signs of knee arthritis.In each clinical trial, researchers tracked...
Mindfulness Can Boost Your Mindset After Cardiac Arrest
10 November 2021
WEDNESDAY, Nov 10, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Shining a light on the powerful link between the mind and body, a new study suggests that cardiac arrest survivors who learn to focus their thoughts on the here and now during recovery are less likely to become depressed or anxious.The finding centers on a mental health practice known as "mindfulness," which amounts to a sort of stop-and-smell-the-roses approach to life. "Mindfulness can be defined as non-judgmental awareness of the present moment" through techniques such as meditation or yoga, explained study lead author Alex Presciutti, a PhD candidate in clinical psychology at the University of Colorado Denver.That, he said, essentially means leaving behind regrets about the past or fears about the future, in favor of a moment-by-moment...
Oklahoma Supreme Courts Overturns $465 Million J & J...
10 November 2021
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 10, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- A previous court ruling that ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay Oklahoma $465 million for the company's role in the opioid epidemic was tossed out by the state's highest court on Tuesday.In a 5-1 vote, the Oklahoma Supreme Court rejected the state's argument that Johnson & Johnson violated "public nuisance" laws by overstating the benefits of its prescription opioid painkillers and minimizing the dangers, The New York Times reported."Oklahoma public nuisance law does not extend to the manufacturing, marketing and selling of prescription opioids," the judges wrote in Tuesday's majority opinion, the Times reported. The judges also gave weight to the company's response that it had not promoted its products in recent years and had sold off one of...
Could Estrogen Help Shield Women's Brains From Alzheimer's?
10 November 2021
WEDNESDAY, Nov.10, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- A key to reduced Alzheimer's disease risk in women could be how much of the hormone estrogen they're able to stockpile over the years, new research suggests.Certain lifetime choices — such as having more children, taking hormonal birth control or taking hormone therapy during menopause — mean that a woman has greater cumulative exposure to estrogen during her lifetime. A longer number of years between the start of menstruation and the end of it also leads to more cumulative estrogen, according to Weill Cornell Medicine and University of Arizona researchers. And that could be protective against loss of cellular gray matter in the brain regions affected by Alzheimer's, the researchers said."Our findings suggest that while the menopause...
Hip Replacements on the Rise Among the Very Young
10 November 2021
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 10, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- It may look like bad news, but a new study says it's not: The number of people younger than 21 who had total hip replacement surgery in the United States jumped from 347 in 2000 to 551 in 2016.The increase wasn't due to a rise in the number of children with inflammatory arthritis, which often prompts a hip replacement in the very young. That suggests that non-surgical treatments to control that painful condition are effective, said senior study author Dr. Bella Mehta, a rheumatologist at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City.For the study, the researchers analyzed data on total hip replacement in U.S. patients younger than 21 from about 4,200 hospitals in 46 states. The mean age of patients was 17.Osteonecrosis (the death of bone...
Hospitalizations for Spikes in Blood Pressure Are on the Rise
10 November 2021
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 10, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Despite a nationwide effort to control blood pressure, the number of seniors hospitalized for a sudden, sharp rise in blood pressure surged over the last two decades in the United States.The largest increase was among Black Americans, with the highest rates in the South, new research shows.The aim of the study was to "evaluate whether we have made any progress in the last 20 years about preventing hospitalization for acute hypertension. And the answer is no," said lead study author Yuan Lu. She's an assistant professor of cardiovascular medicine at Yale University's Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation (CORE).The analysis of data on Medicare beneficiaries older than 65 found that hospitalizations for these severe jumps in blood...
Black Men Less Likely to Get Follow-Up MRI When Test Suggests Prostate Cancer
10 November 2021
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 10, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Black, Hispanic and Asian men in the United States are less likely than white men to receive a follow-up MRI after a screening suggests prostate cancer, a new study finds."We can't say definitively if the reason Black, Hispanic, and Asian men did not receive this particular test is that physicians did not refer them for it, or if the patients opted themselves out of further testing," said study author Danny Hughes, a professor in the Georgia Tech College of Liberal Arts School of Economics, in Atlanta."Regardless, these disparities do highlight the need to understand what is happening and how to ensure patients of all races and ethnicities receive the best possible care," Hughes said in a university news release.A prostate-specific antigen...
