COVID-19 May Have Spread Between Humans, Deer
WEDNESDAY, July 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- New research shows that humans and deer passed the coronavirus back and forth in late 2021 and early 2022, raising concerns that this animal reservoir could become a source of new variants.Humans passed the virus to deer more than 100 times during that period, according to the study, which was led by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).Deer passed the virus back to humans at least three times, the study found.In addition to providing new opportunities for the virus to mutate, which could cause new variants that later infect people, this animal reservoir could keep variants going that have slowed their spread to humans.Scientists saw this happening as COVID variants known as Alpha and Gamma...
Fibromyalgia Tied to Higher Risk of Death From Many Causes
12 July 2023
WEDNESDAY, July 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- For years, people with the widespread pain disorder fibromyalgia were told their symptoms were all in their heads, but now the illness is being taken much more seriously with good reason.Folks with fibromyalgia are more likely to die early from accidents, infections and by suicide, new research suggests.“Fibromyalgia is often called an ‘imaginary condition,’ with ongoing debates on the legitimacy and clinical usefulness of this diagnosis," concluded researchers led by Yulia Treister-Goltzman of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in Beer-Sheva, Israel. “Our review provides further proof that fibromyalgia patients should be taken seriously, with particular focus on screening for suicidal ideation, prevention of accidents, and...
Stressed? Depressed? Mindfulness Training Could Offer...
12 July 2023
WEDNESDAY, July 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The centuries-old practice of mindfulness is having a moment in present times, and a new study finds the therapy can improve mental health for at least six months.Analyzing the results of 13 prior studies, U.K. researchers concluded that in-person, teacher-led mindfulness courses were tied to reduced stress and anxiety. Mindfulness "was the seventh step of the Noble Eightfold Path in Buddhism many thousands of years ago. And lots of different cultures have used different variations of this,†said Dr. Yvette Sheline, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral research at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia.There are many cited benefits of mindfulness, which is defined by UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center as...
AHA News: Summer Break Weight Gain Is Real, With Latino...
12 July 2023
WEDNESDAY, July 12, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- School's out for the summer, and millions of children are home relaxing, working or frolicking in the sun. But, summer's also a time when many kids can gain weight quickly – and at unhealthy levels.The obesity rate for children in the United States has nearly quadrupled in recent decades, from about 5% in the 1970s to 19.8% – about 14.5 million kids – by 2020, American Heart Association statistics show. Obesity rates are disproportionately higher among Hispanic children, affecting about 30% of Hispanic boys and 23% of Hispanic girls. And research suggests Hispanic children may be more susceptible to summer weight gain than most of their peers."Childhood obesity has really tremendous implications for adult health," said...
Water Fasting: Is It Safe? Is It for You?
12 July 2023
WEDNESDAY, July 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Water fasting has become one of the trendiest new weight-loss sensations, touted by former athletes and wellness gurus.But whatever weight is lost during a water fast can come back quickly, while other health benefits fade fast, according to a new review of the available scientific evidence.“I personally wouldn’t really recommend this diet,†said senior researcher Krista Varady, a professor of nutrition at the University of Illinois at Chicago. “I know it’s become popular for some reason, kind of out of nowhere, over the past year or so. But even if people maintain the weight loss, all the health benefits go away.â€Water fasting involves taking in nothing but water for at least five to 20 days, and sometimes even longer,...

12 July 2023
WEDNESDAY, July 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Pickleball is a hot trend and it's getting folks exercising who haven’t been so active in a long time.It’s also racking up injuries — both overuse type and acute traumas — often in those aged 50 and up.A new poll suggests these players are forgoing care when they hurt their knees, wrists and rotator cuffs. Sports medicine experts are urging them not to ignore their nagging pain.Dr. Luis Gandara, a specialist in sports medicine at Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute in Florida, sees a few types of pickleball injuries, including those that are acute from a fall and those in which someone has aggravated chronic pain issues, such as existing arthritis in a hip or other joint.“Then [there are] the other ones who enjoy it so much...
Got Arthritis Pain? What State You Live In May Matter
12 July 2023
WEDNESDAY, July 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- If you live in West Virginia you’re more likely to experience joint pain due to arthritis, according to a new study that looked at the differences in pain across states.“The risk of joint pain is over three times higher in some states compared to others, with states in the South, especially the lower Mississippi Valley and southern Appalachia, having particularly high prevalence of joint pain,†said first author Rui Huang, a doctoral student in sociology at the University at Buffalo in upstate New York. “We also observed educational disparities in joint pain in all states that vary substantially in magnitude, even after adjusting for demographic characteristics," she said in a university news release.The study examined moderate or...
Melanoma an Even More Deadly Disease in Black Men
12 July 2023
WEDNESDAY, July 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Black men are more likely to die of melanoma, new research shows, and one reason why may be the unusual places where the deadly skin cancer is likely to show up on their bodies.Even though the disease is more common in white men, the new report shows that Black men are 26% more likely to die from it, the Washington Post reported.“The purpose of our study was to dive deeper into why we are seeing these differences in survival rates and the factors that may be driving this,†study co-author Ashley Wysong, chair of dermatology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, told the Post.The researchers analyzed more than 205,000 cases and discovered that melanoma in Black men is often found in areas that have not had a lot of sun exposure,...
