Will the Pandemic Surge in Gun Purchases Raise Suicide Rates?
TUESDAY, Nov. 2, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Suicidal thoughts are more common among Americans who bought guns when firearm sales spiked during the pandemic, compared to those among other gun owners or folks who don't own guns, a new study shows.About 6% of U.S. residents bought a gun between March and mid-July of last year. Of these, 34% were first-timers — a higher-than-normal rate."The fact that suicidal thoughts were particularly common among surge purchasers who became first-time firearm owners is an important consideration, given data demonstrating an elevated suicide rate in the months following the first acquisition of a firearm," said lead author Michael Anestis, executive director of New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center at Rutgers University in New Jersey, where he is also...
A New Way to Spot Pregnancy Risks?
2 November 2021
TUESDAY, Nov. 2, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Two placenta-related markers could reveal older women's risk of serious pregnancy problems such as stillbirth and premature or very small babies, British researchers say.They analyzed blood samples and medical data from 527 pregnant U.K. women, including 158 in their 20s; 212 in their 30s; and 157 in their 40s.The study found that levels of placental growth factor and antioxidant capacity could help predict pregnancy risks in women 35 and older. Having a baby later in life has long been associated with increased risk."We already know the changes in oxidative stress and inflammation we saw in this study are associated with many pregnancy complications -- but for the first time here, we found they were also present in older mothers, which could...
Purrfect Pal: Robotic Cats May Help People With Dementia
1 November 2021
MONDAY, Nov. 1, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- If you have a pet, you know that the excited wag of your dog's tail or the satisfied purr of your cat curling up on your lap can be a mood booster.But what if that pet is a robot? And what if its owner has dementia?In a small study, researchers at Florida Atlantic University found that engaging with a robotic pet might help people with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia, reducing their stress and dementia-related behaviors without the more complex responsibilities of pet ownership."You wouldn't think that a furry little movable cat or dog would really make a difference, but it evokes emotional responses in persons with cognitive impairment who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience something as delightful as just playing...
Financial Stress Burdens More Than Half of New U.S....
1 November 2021
MONDAY, Nov. 1, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- The joys of motherhood may be overshadowed in the United States since as many as 50% of new or expectant moms can't pay their bills, including health care bills, new research suggests."Financial hardship is highly prevalent among pregnant and postpartum women," said study co-author Dr. Michelle Moniz. She is an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor, and its Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation.For the study, the researchers reviewed data from the U.S. National Health Interview Survey from 2013 to 2018, looking at pregnant or recently pregnant women. This was a time when the Affordable Care Act had been signed into law and the economy was robust. The Affordable Care Act aimed to...
AHA News: Could the Path to Better Brain Health Involve Better Mouth Care?
1 November 2021
MONDAY, Nov. 1, 2021 (American Heart Association News) -- Fresh breath, a pretty smile and healthy teeth and gums – they're the reasons you brush your teeth each day and see a dentist twice a year.But what if brushing and flossing also helped to keep your brain – and the rest of your body – healthy, too?Experts say it might.There are at least 700 different kinds of bacteria living in the mouth, some of which cause gum disease and other infections. A growing body of evidence links those infections to chronic illnesses in other parts of the body, including the brain and heart. While researchers have long known about the link, it's been unclear which came first or why. But recent research reveals problems in the mouth exist decades before chronic illnesses surface elsewhere,...
Guard Dogs, Panic Buttons: Nurses Under Threat From Rising Violence
1 November 2021
MONDAY, Nov. 1, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Emergency room nurse Grace Politis was catching up on paperwork during her shift when she suddenly realized her head hurt badly. Then she blacked out."Later on, I found out I was hit in the head twice with a fire extinguisher by a patient," said Politis, who works at Lowell General Hospital in Lowell, Mass.A disturbed man awaiting psychiatric evaluation had fractured Politis' skull, causing her head to bleed in two places and crushing one of her fingers.Workplace violence in health care facilities has been shockingly high for years. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says that a health care worker is five times more likely to suffer violence and injury on the job than workers overall.Now, the stress of the pandemic has made an already dangerous...
A Faster, Cheaper Test to Gauge the Risk of Premature Delivery?
1 November 2021
MONDAY, Nov. 1, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- A two-minute test can accurately detect vaginal bacteria associated with preterm birth, researchers have found, pointing to a possible way to identify pregnant women at increased risk of early delivery.In the United States, about one in 10 babies are born preterm, according to the nonprofit March of Dimes. Babies born preterm (before the 37th week of pregnancy) are at increased risk of health problems affecting the lungs, heart, brain and eyes — particularly if they are born very early.Often, the reason for preterm labor is unknown. But certain factors put pregnant women at greater risk.The new test focuses on one factor: the vaginal microbiome. The microbiome refers to the collection of trillions of bacteria and other microbes that normally...
COVID Death Toll Tops 5 Million Worldwide
1 November 2021
MONDAY, Nov. 1, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- The worldwide death toll from COVID-19 surpassed 5 million on Monday, and the more than 740,000 lives lost in the United States is the most of any nation, Johns Hopkins University data show."This is a defining moment in our lifetime," Dr. Albert Ko, an infectious disease specialist at the Yale School of Public Health, told the Associated Press. "What do we have to do to protect ourselves so we don't get to another 5 million?"Being a wealthy country provided little protection: The United States, Britain, Brazil and European Union account for one-eighth of the world's population, but nearly half of all reported COVID-19 deaths since the pandemic began 22 months ago, the AP reported."What's uniquely different about this pandemic is it hit hardest...
