FDA Gives Full Approval to Alzheimer’s Drug Leqembi
THURSDAY, July 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday gave full approval to the Alzheimer's drug Leqembi, clearing the way for insurance coverage of the pricey drug.“The full FDA approval will open the floodgates for people with early Alzheimer’s to get this drug. It’s a big deal because it’s very expensive at $26,500 per year," Robert Vassar, director of Northwestern Medicine’s Mesulam Center for Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease in Chicago, said in a statement released Thursday. "Now, Medicaid and Medicare will cover it as long as patients enroll in a registry to track their progress," he added.“It’s a big breakthrough because it’s the first disease-modifying drug for Alzheimer’s. This has been the holy grail since...
Brushing, Flossing Could Help Shield Your Brain From...
6 July 2023
THURSDAY, July 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Add risk of developing memory problems later in life to the list of consequences linked to poor oral health.Not taking care of your mouth and teeth has already been associated with heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers and preterm birth. Now, a new study finds that folks with gum disease or tooth loss have evidence of shrinkage within the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory.“Retaining more healthy teeth without periodontal disease may help to protect brain health," said study author Dr. Satoshi Yamaguchi, an associate professor at Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry in Sendai, Japan.The new study was not designed to say how, or even if, the number of healthy teeth or gum disease status causes dementia or memory...
Heat: How Much Can the Human Body Stand?
6 July 2023
THURSDAY, July 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Record-breaking heat waves are pummeling the United States and the world, causing many to wonder how much of this a body can take and still survive.The limit is somewhere between 104 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit if you’re sitting perfectly still, according to a small study conducted in the United Kingdom.Researchers say they are starting to hone in on the high temperatures that begin to overwhelm the human body’s defenses against heat, or what they call the upper critical temperature.“We find that some individuals, but not others, exhibit an increase in metabolic rate at rest when ambient temperature gets high,†said senior researcher Lewis Halsey, a professor at the University of Roehampton School of Life and Health Sciences in...
Loneliness Can Really Break a Heart in People With Diabetes
6 July 2023
THURSDAY, July 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Loneliness might be a true heartbreaker for people with diabetes — raising their odds of a heart attack even more than unhealthy lifestyle habits do.That's according to a new study of over 18,000 adults with the blood sugar disease. Researchers found that people who reported feeling lonely were up to 26% more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke in the next decade, compared to those who felt more socially connected.Loneliness, in fact, was more strongly linked to cardiovascular trouble than well-known risk factors like smoking, lack of exercise and unhealthy eating habits.Still, the study, published recently in the European Heart Journal, does not prove that loneliness directly harms physical health.But it's not the first to link...
AHA News: When This Therapist Recommends Self-Care, It's Not Self-Indulgence
6 July 2023
THURSDAY, July 6, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- As a psychotherapist and wellness consultant with clients from New York to New Zealand, Aishia Grevenberg is happy to recommend self-care. But don't expect it to end in a day at the spa."I think 'self-care' is a truly watered-down term, in the sense that it has almost become like 'bubble baths and manicures,'" Grevenberg said. It's much more intense than that, she said, "and it's not always pretty or easy or fun."For Grevenberg, self-care is about being aware of your feelings and addressing them honestly. "If a client tells me, 'I felt rejected' or 'I felt upset,' I'm always looking for the underlying meaning." She works to get to the root of that emotion.Looked at this way, self-care can feel heavy or uncomfortable, she said,...
Keeping Cholesterol Levels Stable May Help Shield You From Dementia
6 July 2023
THURSDAY, July 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Could swings in your blood fat levels increase your chances of being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease?Yes, suggests a new study that found fluctuating cholesterol levels among older adults may increase the risk for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.Those who had the most fluctuations in cholesterol had a 19% higher risk of developing Alzheimer's or dementia, and those with the most fluctuations in triglyceride levels had a 23% increased risk, the researchers found. Still, Dr. Marc Lawrence Gordon, chief of neurology at Northwell Health's Zucker Hillside Hospital in Great Neck, N.Y., stressed this study can't prove these variations actually cause Alzheimer's disease or dementia. "You don't know whether the fluctuation is what's driving...
Taking ADHD Meds Won't Raise a Kid's Odds for Drug Abuse Later: Study
6 July 2023
THURSDAY, July 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Stimulant medications like Ritalin are commonly prescribed to help treat the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, but there have been concerns the drugs may lay the groundwork for later substance abuse.New research may now set those worries at ease. Children who take prescription stimulants for ADHD do not have more substance use disorders as teens or young adults than children who didn’t take stimulants, according to researchers.“The concern was whether or not that would, for multiple reasons, train the brains, train the behaviors of the children to use substances to deal with their problems,†said Brooke Molina, a professor of psychiatry, psychology and pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine....
Sleep a Key Defense for Black Americans at Genetic Risk for Alzheimer's
6 July 2023
THURSDAY, July 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A lot of experts advise getting a good night’s sleep. For Black Americans who have a gene variant linked to Alzheimer’s disease, that rest could be protective, a new study says. “This new finding suggests that someone with a high-risk variant might be able to overcome their genetic inheritance by improving their sleep habits,†said lead author Bernadette Fausto, a member of the research faculty at Rutgers University-Newark in New Jersey.“The findings were striking,†she said in a Rutgers news release.Black Americans are both at greater risk of Alzheimer’s disease and get less sleep on average, Fausto said. Some of the contributors are city dwelling with population density and more night-time noise and light pollution, which can...
