Long-Acting, Injected HIV Meds Can Help Tough-to-Treat Patients
WEDNESDAY, July 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- For nearly three decades, daily antiretroviral pills have offered patients living with HIV a highly effective way to keep their infection under control.But some patients, particularly those beset by homelessness, drug addiction and/or mental illness, find it very difficult to follow a daily pill routine due to the “competing priorities in their life, like getting food and shelter, or if there are conditions such as depression, anxiety or substance use,†explained study author Dr. Monica Gandhi, director of the USCF-Bay Area Center for AIDS Research (CFAR).Now, there is hope: Gandhi's team just published a new study that found nearly all these patients can get full protection with long-acting injections of antiretroviral...
Access to Medical Marijuana Won't Lower Use of Opioid...
5 July 2023
WEDNESDAY, July 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Medical marijuana is touted as a pain reliever, but in U.S. states where it's legal, prescriptions for opioid or non-opioid painkillers haven't decreased, a new study finds.According to researchers, this means that people aren't switching to cannabis for pain relief in huge numbers even when it's legally available, so it's unlikely to ease the nation's opioid overdose epidemic."Medical cannabis laws had no effects on pain treatment writ large," said lead researcher Beth McGinty, a health policy expert at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. "Medical cannabis laws have been touted by some proponents as a potential solution to the opioid crisis or part of a potential solution to the opioid crisis," she said."If we make cannabis accessible,...
AHA News: Trim, Fit and 53, His Heart Attack Took Him by...
5 July 2023
WEDNESDAY, July 5, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Ed Frauenheim frequently walked the hilly streets around his San Francisco neighborhood. One summer day, he took long strides to his favorite park. As always, he huffed and puffed a bit up the steep ascent.Walking back down the hill was another story.Suddenly, he felt his chest tighten. A wave of nausea surged through him. He felt dizzy and lightheaded. Afraid he might pass out, Frauenheim eased onto the sidewalk. After a few minutes of rest, the sensations vanished. He headed home.When he told his wife, Rowena Richie, what had happened, she figured it was something minor."Maybe you didn't eat enough at breakfast," she told him. "Or you need to drink more water."He thought she could be right. He made a work call, but the...
Sick? You'll Need Multiple Tests to Rule Out COVID
5 July 2023
WEDNESDAY, July 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- For much of the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors have told patients who get a negative result after taking a rapid antigen test at home to test again 48 hours later.A new study confirms that’s the right advice. Whether you have symptoms or not, repeat testing after 48 hours may be required to rule out COVID infection, researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical School found. In the meantime, if you think you may be infected or have been exposed to the virus, you should take precautions to not expose others to the virus until getting a second negative test result, researchers said. That means wearing a mask and social distancing.“What we see is that when people test once, there are a good amount of people where their infection may...
More Than Three-Quarters of Americans 16 and Older Have Been Infected With COVID: CDC
5 July 2023
WEDNESDAY, July 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) – While a little more than half of American adults think they’ve had COVID-19, the reality is about 77.5% have been infected at least once, new government data shows.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released final estimates for people ages 16 and up for 2022.About 96.7% of adults had antibodies to the virus either from infection, vaccination or a combination of the two, the CDC reported. But U.S. Census data shows that only 54.9% of Americans think they have had COVID.Estimates for children were previously released, using data from commercial testing laboratories, in which nine of 10 people under age 18 had been infected, CBS News reported. While young adults and teens had the highest percentage of prior infection at...
Depression Rates Rise for Minority Youth in States With Anti-LGBT Legislation
5 July 2023
WEDNESDAY, July 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Youth who are both LGBTQ+ and either Black or Hispanic and live in U.S. states that have discriminatory policies are more likely to have depression than their counterparts in states that are more affirming to gender and sexual identity, new research finds. “This study provides scientific evidence to what many queer and trans people of color in the U.S. are experiencing day to day,†said study co-author Tyler Harvey, program administrator of the Yale School of Medicine’s SEICHE Center for Health and Justice. “Queer and trans youth living in states such as Florida that are passing anti-LGBTQ+ legislation know this to be true: Their surroundings are influencing their mental health," Harvey said in a school news release.When controlling...
Hotter Climate Could Mean Worsening Eyesight for Americans
5 July 2023
WEDNESDAY, July 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Older American adults who live in warmer regions are more likely to have serious vision impairment than those who live in cooler places, new research finds.Living with average temperatures of 60 degrees Fahrenheit or above -- think South Florida, for example -- created much higher odds of blindness or trouble seeing even with glasses, according to a new study of 1.7 million people. “This link between vision impairment and average county temperature is very worrying if future research determines that the association is causal," said co-author Esme Fuller-Thomson, director of the University of Toronto’s Institute of Life Course and Aging. “With climate change, we are expecting a rise in global temperatures. It will be important to...
Spinal Cord Injury Could Harm Immune System
5 July 2023
WEDNESDAY, July 5, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A severe spinal cord injury is traumatic enough, but new research now shows that trauma can trigger an immune deficiency that puts patients at risk for developing life-threatening infections. A new study from a team of international researchers sheds light on spinal cord injury-induced immune deficiency syndrome, which was initially discovered in experimental models.“Infections and subsequent sepsis are the main cause of death after spinal-cord injury,†said study co-author Dr. Jan Schwab, a professor of neurology and neurosciences at the Ohio State College of Medicine.“Our study provides evidence for an immune deficiency that sets spinal cord-injured patients up to develop infections," Schwab said in a university news release. He is...
