Americans Divided on Biden's Vaccine Mandate, Poll Finds
THURSDAY, Sept. 30, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Americans are of two minds about President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate, with political party affiliation playing a pivotal role in their opinions, a new poll finds.Most Democrats are for it and most Republicans are against it, the survey from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research revealed. Overall, the poll found that 51% of Americans approve of the mandate, 34% disapprove and 14% have no opinion, the AP reported.But politics tended to determine positions on the mandate: Among Democrats, more than three-quarters approve of it, but only about one-quarter of Republicans did, the findings showed."I don't believe the federal government should have a say in me having to get the vaccine or lose my job or get tested,"...
Smoking, Drinking Gateway to Pot, Study Finds
30 September 2021
THURSDAY, Sept. 30, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- For those who smoke or drink, it's only a small step to marijuana, researchers report. "Legal consumption of alcohol and tobacco may directly increase the level of illicit drug use. However, the relationships are complex," said researcher Dr. Zoe Reed. She is a senior research associate in the Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.The findings of a "gateway effect" were reported online Sept. 29 in the journal Addiction, with use of multiple substances also tied to smoking initiation.Conversely, using marijuana may lead to smoking cigarettes. And opioid addiction may lead to drinking, the researchers said.It is possible that a bidirectional relationship exists between tobacco and marijuana,...
AHA News: Severe Mental Health Disorders May Increase...
30 September 2021
THURSDAY, Sept. 30, 2021 (American Heart Association News) -- Men with heart failure have worse long-term survival rates if they have severe depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, according to a new study that urges doctors to change the way they treat people with mental disorders.Previous research shows people with these conditions have an earlier onset of high blood pressure, diabetes and heart attack. But little was known about how heart failure, in which the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, figures into the equation. The new study was published Sept. 30 in the American Heart Association journal Circulation: Heart Failure.Researchers looked at more than 20,000 people with heart failure in the Duke University Health System from 2002 to 2017. During a...
CDC Pushes Hard on Vaccination for Pregnant Women in New...
30 September 2021
THURSDAY, Sept. 30, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- The country's leading health agency on Wednesday implored all Americans who are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant to get a coronavirus vaccine.COVID-19 poses a serious risk to women who are expecting, since they are vulnerable because of pregnancy's dampening effect on their immune system, experts say.But less than one-third of pregnant women have received coronavirus vaccines before or during their pregnancies, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's even lower for Black women, of whom only 15% are vaccinated. "Pregnancy can be both a special time and also a stressful time, and pregnancy during a pandemic is an added concern for family," CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said in the...
Second Report on Toxins in Baby Foods Finds Continuing Problems
30 September 2021
THURSDAY, Sept. 30, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Despite the troubling findings of a congressional report released earlier this year on toxins in baby foods, a new report finds even more manufacturers are selling baby foods that contain potentially unsafe levels of heavy metals.The toxins in question include dangerous levels of arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury, among others."No level of toxic heavy metals and exposure to them is safe for a baby," said Illinois Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, which authored the latest report.Named in the findings are some high-profile companies, including Gerber, Plum Organics and Beech-Nut.In citing Gerber, congressional investigators said the company's infant rice cereal contained inorganic...
SmartWatches Detect Viral Infection Before Symptoms Surface in Study
30 September 2021
THURSDAY, Sept. 30, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Someday, your smartwatch might be able to tell you if you're coming down with a virus and how sick you'll be — even before symptoms start.In a small study, researchers showed that a wearable device, like a Fitbit or Apple Watch, could detect which patients had the H1N1 flu and which had a common cold. "One of our goals was to be able to detect that infection before a person feels symptoms, because they may be spreading pathogens without even knowing that they're sick," explained senior researcher Jessilyn Dunn, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Duke University in Durham, N.C.The wristband does this by reading biological signs, including resting heart rate, heart rate variability and skin temperature, she said."The device...
LGBQ Teens More Likely to Contemplate Suicide at Younger Age
30 September 2021
THURSDAY, Sept. 30, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Kids who are gay, bisexual or questioning their sexuality may be vulnerable to contemplating suicide at a tender age, a new U.S. government study finds.It has long been known that teenagers who are part of sexual minorities have a higher risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, compared to their heterosexual peers. That includes kids who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning.Experts said the new findings -- published online Sept. 27 in the journal Pediatrics -- add another layer: Those kids also start to grapple with suicidal thoughts at a younger age -- with an increased risk appearing as early as age 10.What's more, they typically progressed more quickly from the "thinking" stage to actually planning for...
AI Model Predicts Which Animal Viruses Are Likely to Jump to Humans
30 September 2021
THURSDAY, Sept. 30, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Artificial intelligence (AI) might be able to spot the next virus to jump from animals to humans, Scottish researchers report.Identifying diseases before they become a threat to humans is challenging, because only a few of the nearly 2 million animal viruses can infect humans. By developing machine learning models, researchers can analyze genetic patterns of viruses that might infect people."Our findings show that the zoonotic potential of viruses can be inferred to a surprisingly large extent from their genome sequence," the researchers at the University of Glasgow reported. "By highlighting viruses with the greatest potential to become zoonotic, genome-based ranking allows further ecological and virological characterization to be targeted...
