Families With Multiple Cases Give Clues to Autism's Origins
TUESDAY, Aug. 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- In a study of families that have multiple children with autism, researchers have unearthed new insights into genes that might drive the disorder.“Study design is critical, and not enough attention has been paid to studying families with more than one affected child,†said lead author Dr. Daniel Geschwind, a professor of human genetics, neurology and psychiatry at UCLA in Los Angeles.While past research has mostly focused on families with one child who has autism, few have examined the role of rare inherited variations or their interaction with the combined effect of multiple common genetic variations that contribute to the risk of developing autism, according to this study.At least 50% of genetic risk is predicted by common genetic...
One Drug Clear Winner in Treating Acne: Review
31 July 2023
MONDAY, July 31, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Millions of people live with acne, and it can take a dramatic toll on their quality of life, but is any one treatment better than the rest?Yes, suggests a new review of more than 200 studies. When researchers compared acne treatments, a clear winner emerged: oral isotretinoin, best known as Accutane.Isotretinoin is a high-dose vitamin A that targets the main causes of acne by shrinking oil-producing sebaceous glands, killing bacteria that can cause breakouts, preventing clogged pores and cooling inflammation.The study results are in line with what acne experts see every day in their practices. “Isotretinoin is the most predictably effective drug we have for the treatment of acne,†said Birmingham, Ala.-based dermatologist Dr. Julie Harper....
Paperwork Causing Many Americans to Lose Medicaid...
31 July 2023
MONDAY, July 31, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Large numbers of Americans who were dropped from Medicaid this spring lost their coverage because of paperwork problems, and not because they weren’t still eligible for the public health insurance program.“I am deeply concerned about high rates of procedural terminations due to ‘red tape’ and other paperwork issues,†Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra wrote in a letter sent Friday to all governors, the Associated Press reported.The changes are happening now because a prohibition on removing Medicaid coverage during the pandemic has now been lifted. States have now begun doing annual eligibility redeterminations.Among 18 states that began this review in April, about 1 million people continued to receive their health...
In Mice, a Preventive Vaccine Clears Brain Plaques Tied...
31 July 2023
MONDAY, July 31, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists have struggled for decades to come up with something that can successfully treat Alzheimer's disease, with new drugs now showing their ability to clear the amyloid plaques that are a hallmark of the memory-robbing disease.But what if a vaccine could do the same job, or better? A new Japanese study suggests it may be possible.Working with mice, researchers report they have been testing a vaccine that takes direct aim at the onset and development of Alzheimer’s. They say that the results so far have proven encouraging, with indications that, at least among mice, the vaccine appears to effectively lower the inflammation that is typical of Alzheimer’s, resulting in notable improvements in overall behavior.Still, the research is...
Regular Drinking Can Raise Blood Pressure in the Otherwise Healthy
31 July 2023
MONDAY, July 31, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Whether knocking back a little alcohol or a lot, daily drinking is tied to higher blood pressure, a new research review warns.Compared with not drinking, just one alcoholic drink a drink a day is associated with higher blood pressure over time, even in people who previously had normal blood pressure levels, according to researchers who analyzed the results of seven prior studies. The upshot: Drinking and blood pressure control don’t mix, said study lead author Dr. Marco Vinceti. As blood pressure, or hypertension, rises, so do the odds for heart disease and stroke.How much is too much? “Clearly, the lower the better, and no consumption even better," said Vinceti, a professor of epidemiology and public health in the Medical School of the...
Alcohol Kills Men More Often, but Women's Death Rates Are Catching Up
31 July 2023
MONDAY, July 31, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Women are catching up to men when it comes to dying from alcohol abuse, a new study finds.Although men are nearly three times more likely to die from alcohol abuse than women, such deaths among women are rising at a faster rate. Between 2018 and 2020, alcohol-related deaths rose 12.5% among men, but jumped nearly 15% among women. "It's really concerning," said lead researcher Dr. Ibraheem Karaye, an assistant professor of population health at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y.For the study, he and his colleagues examined data on nearly 606,000 alcohol-related deaths between 1999 and 2020. Karaye said he can't say with certainty why this trend is happening. However, he thinks that the obesity epidemic among women may be tied to...
AHA News: Dallas Radio Personality Gets a New Heart After Cardiac Problems Take a Toll
31 July 2023
MONDAY, July 31, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Hal Harbuck was walking from the dock to his family's lake cabin when he felt a severe pain in his chest. Having recently been water skiing, he wondered if he'd pulled a muscle. Then again, it also felt like the worst heartburn he'd ever felt.He eventually realized he might be having a heart attack.He sat on the sofa and chewed on an aspirin while his adult son, Josh, called the nearest hospital, which was more than a half-hour drive away. An ambulance was sent; to save time, they met it midway there.Doctors asked Harbuck about his lifestyle. He told them that he'd recently stopped smoking. How recently?"About 30 minutes ago," he said.The line drew laughter, as Harbuck expected. After all, under the name Hal Jay, his quick wit...
As a Summer Surge of COVID Takes Hold, Don't Mistake It for a Cold
31 July 2023
MONDAY, July 31, 2023 (HealthDay News) – For the fourth summer in a row, Americans are experiencing a COVID-19 surge, this one marked by a rise in hospital admissions, emergency room visits, test positivity rates and wastewater data.The good news: It’s unlikely that most cases will be severe or that the surge will be long-lasting, experts say. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is reporting a rise in testing, though lab testing is not at the levels it was before the public health emergency ended in May. “I do see some early signs that we are heading into another wave. Of course, we don’t know what lies ahead. So, it may yet peter out,†Caitlin Rivers, an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering at the John Hopkins...
