First Murder Conviction for Fentanyl Dealer Delivered in California
TUESDAY, July 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A fentanyl dealer has been found guilty of second-degree murder in what authorities believe is the first-ever murder conviction for dealing the dangerous drug.The conviction happened in Placer County, Calif., in a case involving the fatal overdose last summer of a 15-year-old girl in Roseville, about 20 miles northeast of Sacramento, ABC News reported."This conviction could be a watershed moment in the war on fentanyl," said Steven Clark, legal analyst and former Santa Clara County District Attorney."The fact that there was a conviction sends a message to the people dealing fentanyl you could pay for being in jail for the rest of your life," he said, noting that the key to these cases is proving the dealer knew they were selling deadly...
Want a Healthier, Happier Old Age? Get Moving
10 July 2023
MONDAY, July 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The couch potato life may not be a happy one.When older adults become more sedentary, their overall quality of life takes a hit, new research cautions.Sitting still is your enemy, the study suggests. Even slow walking can help improve your mental and physical health, say the British researchers who tracked more than 1,400 adults age 60 and up. “We set off to look at whether people who reduced their physical activity levels or increased their sitting time in their older years had poorer quality of life later on,†said study lead author Dr. Dharani Yerrakalva.The answer to both questions was yes, said Yerrakalva, a doctoral fellow with the Department of Public Health and Primary Care at the University of Cambridge.This really matters, she and...
Biden Moves to Lower Health Care Costs, Limit Insurance...
10 July 2023
MONDAY, July 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When they need health care, Americans can be slapped with surprise medical costs because of loopholes in the law and “junk fees,†according to the White House.The Biden administration is taking action on several fronts to deal with these unexpected costs.“Evading the law and playing games to charge crazy, outrageous prices has to end,†President Joe Biden said in remarks on Friday.The efforts are part of a bigger economic vision dubbed "Bidenomics," the White House said. It's focused on “restoring the American dream,†which the White House said has been limited “to those at the top."Proposed rules include closing loopholes in which companies offer "misleading insurance products that can discriminate based on pre-existing...
EMS Crews May Not Always Follow Guidelines When Dosing...
10 July 2023
MONDAY, July 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Less than half of all children treated by emergency medical services receive the right amount of medication during out-of-hospital emergencies, a new study found.In some cases, these incorrect doses can have serious consequences.“If you don't give the appropriate dose of the anti-seizure medication for a patient with an ongoing seizure, the seizure will not stop,†said study co-author Dr. Sriram Ramgopal, an attending physician in emergency medicine at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. “The longer a patient is seizing, the higher risk they are of having complications from that seizure," he said. They might aspirate into their lungs and get pneumonia from that, or they might have respiratory depression. And of course,...
Depression That Hits After Brain Injury May Be Distinct Disease
10 July 2023
MONDAY, July 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Depression that arises after a head injury may be its own distinct condition — one that differs from traditional major depressive disorder, a new study suggests.Researchers found that people with post-concussion depression showed a unique pattern of activity in the brain circuitry involved in depression. This "picture" was different from depression unrelated to a head injury, and different from people who'd suffered a concussion but had no depression symptoms.Experts said the findings shed light on the brain basis for post-concussion depression, and underscore an important take-away for patients: Your mental health symptoms are not just "in your head."While most people recover from concussion, some have lingering symptoms, which can include...
AHA News: Flu-Related Myocarditis Is Rare But Can Be Fatal, as Ohio Family Learned
10 July 2023
MONDAY, July 10, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Last December, during the week before winter break, Abbie Hauler caught the flu. She had a deep cough and began complaining of chest pain. Her mother, Angie Hauler, told her to stay home and rest. But the eighth grader had tests to take before vacation started. And she didn't want to miss a weekend trip to celebrate the holidays with her father's family."Teens can be stubborn," Angie said. "But on the way home that night, she called me and said, 'Mom, I really don't feel good.'"The next morning, Abbie complained that it hurt to breathe. Her mother took her to an urgent care clinic in suburban Columbus, Ohio, where she tested negative for COVID-19, but positive for influenza A. The doctor said her heart and lungs sounded fine...
In Study, Almost Half of Obese Teens Were No Longer So After Taking Wegovy/Ozempic
10 July 2023
MONDAY, July 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The drugs Wegovy and Ozempic are all the rage for weight loss these days, and now a new study shows these injections may be game-changers for obese teenagers, too.This trial, funded by drug maker Novo Nordisk, found that nearly half of all adolescents on semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic) were able to achieve a healthy weight in about 17 months.Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which slows digestion, decreases hunger, reduces how much people eat and prompts weight loss. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Wegovy for treating obesity in kids and adults aged 12 years and older, while Ozempic has been approved at a lower dose to treat type 2 diabetes. “Semaglutide appears to be highly effective in helping teens reduce their body...

10 July 2023
MONDAY, July 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers can now detect the COVID-19 virus in any animal using a new all-species test.It’s an advance that they say will help track COVID-19 variants in wild and domesticated animals.“Highly sensitive and specific diagnostic reagents and assays are urgently needed for rapid detection and implementation of strategies for prevention and control of the infection in animals,†the researchers wrote July 6 in the journal mSphere.Ying Fang, a virologist and pathobiology professor at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, led the research.SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has been detected in cats, dogs, rodents, deer, apes and a variety of farm and zoo animals. It can also mutate in these animal hosts, leading to new...
