Triple-Digit Heat Wave a Danger to Those With Dementia
TUESDAY, July 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- As extreme heat continues to blanket numerous parts of the United States, Americans with dementia may be particularly challenged.“Triple-digit temperatures and heat indexes are especially dangerous for someone with a dementia-related illness such as Alzheimer’s disease, because the effects of dementia can impair their ability to notice if they are developing heat stroke or dehydration,†said Jennifer Reeder, director of educational and social services for the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. “Taking a few simple steps will go a long way to help caregivers keep their loved one with dementia safe during the heat wave,†Reeder said in a foundation news release.Watch out for wandering, a common behavior in individuals with dementia....
Memory Issues Could Be Another Struggle for Kids With Autism
11 July 2023
TUESDAY, July 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Children with autism have well-known difficulties with social interactions, but a new study is highlighting another area where they can struggle: memory.Researchers found that compared with their peers, school-age kids with autism showed more difficulty managing memory tasks. They often had a hard time remembering faces — something seen in past studies — but also in recalling words and other types of information.What's more, the researchers were able to trace the memory deficits to particular brain circuitry that was "hyperconnected."The findings suggest that memory challenges may be a bigger issue for kids with autism than generally recognized. And that should be taken into consideration at school and in services for those children, the...
Risk of Suicidal Thoughts With Popular Weight-Loss Drugs...
11 July 2023
TUESDAY, July 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The European Medicines Agency is investigating concerns that popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Saxenda may be linked to suicidal thoughts and thoughts of self-harm.Three case reports from Iceland spurred the agency's safety committee to conduct a medication review, CNN reported Monday. The EMA is Europe's equivalent of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Icelandic Medicines Agency reported two cases of suicidal thoughts. One happened after use of Ozempic (semaglutide) and the other after taking Saxenda (liraglutide). The third report was about Saxenda and thoughts of self-injury.Both drugs are made by Novo Nordisk. The company said, “patient safety is a top priority,†adding it takes “all reports about adverse events...
AI Tool 'Reads' Brain Tumors During Surgery to Help...
11 July 2023
TUESDAY, July 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool capable of deciphering a brain tumor's genetic code in real time, during surgery — an advance they say could speed diagnosis and personalize patients' treatment.The researchers trained the AI tool to recognize the different genetic features of gliomas, a group of tumors that constitute the most common form of brain cancer among adults.Not all gliomas are the same, however. Most people are diagnosed with one of three subtypes that each have different genetic features — and, critically, different degrees of aggressiveness and treatment options.Right now, doctors called pathologists can analyze gliomas for those genetic markers, in what's known as molecular diagnosis. But the...
Testing Entire Genome Twice as Good at Spotting Genetic Disorders as Targeted Tests Are
11 July 2023
TUESDAY, July 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Identifying genetic disorders in newborns and infants can help them get the care they need, but one approach -- whole genome sequencing -- appears far superior to another.In a new study, researchers compared whole genome sequencing with targeted gene-sequencing. They found that whole genome sequencing (WGS) was nearly twice as effective at finding the abnormalities that lead to disorders, although it took longer to obtain test results.“More than half of the babies in our study had a genetic disorder that would have remained undetected at most hospitals across the country if not for genome sequencing technologies,†said study co-author Dr. Jonathan Davis, chief of newborn medicine at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. “Successfully...
Strong Marijuana Habit Could Raise Odds for Complications During Surgery
11 July 2023
TUESDAY, July 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Using marijuana regularly might increase the risk for complications during and after surgery, and doctors should address this when planning operations, a new study suggests. People with a cannabis use disorder are 20% more likely to have serious complications, such as stroke or blood clots, after a major operation than patients who aren't dependent on marijuana, researchers say. "It turned out to be not a huge effect but significant enough to where patients need to pay attention to their cannabis use," said lead researcher Dr. Paul Potnuru. He is an assistant professor in the department of anesthesiology, critical care and pain medicine at the University of Texas McGovern Medical School, in Houston.Doctors need to know how much cannabis...
AHA News: Few People With Heart Failure May Get a Critical Type of Care
11 July 2023
TUESDAY, July 11, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Medicare coverage for cardiac rehabilitation for some people with heart failure was expanded almost a decade ago, and medical guidelines recommend it. Yet those who could benefit often don't get it, a new study finds.Only 1 in 4 people in a nationwide registry received cardiac rehabilitation referrals after being hospitalized for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, in which the heart doesn't contract effectively. Among them, about 1 in 25 actually participated in a rehab program. The findings were published Tuesday in the journal Circulation: Heart Failure.The good news, researchers said, is that referrals increased over time – from 8% in 2010 to 32% by 2018. But disparities persisted for certain groups. People not...
Quality Care for People With Parkinson's Is Lacking Across the U.S.
11 July 2023
TUESDAY, July 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- People with Parkinson’s disease often aren’t getting the care they need for the debilitating movement disorder, a new study reports.Three in 10 are relying on primary care doctors to treat their disorder, and 1 in 10 aren’t seeing a doc at all, analysis of Medicare data reveals.And fewer than 1 in 10 are seeing a neurologist specifically trained in treating Parkinson’s, researchers said.“That's a real concern because while I think every clinician wants to do the best for their patient, not every clinician really has that experience that they can bring to bear to help a person with Parkinson's, especially as their disease progresses,†said senior researcher James Beck, chief scientific officer for the Parkinson’s Foundation.For...
