COVID Vaccine Reaction Can Mimic Breast Cancer Symptoms, But Doctors Say 'Don't Panic'
THURSDAY, Feb. 11, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- One side effect of COVID-19 vaccination is creating undue fear among women, causing them to worry that they might have breast cancer.Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines can cause lymph nodes to swell, particularly those in the armpit on the side where the shot was received, experts say.Some women are feeling these armpit lymph nodes and mistaking them for breast lumps, according to a recent report.Further, these swollen lymph nodes can show up in a mammogram even if women can't feel them. That prompted the Society of Breast Imaging to recommend that women postpone any mammography scheduled within four weeks after their final COVID-19 shot.Post-vaccine lymph node swelling is common and harmless, but doctors are concerned it could cause undue...
Antibiotics in Pregnancy Tied to Higher Odds for Asthma...
11 February 2021
THURSDAY, Feb. 11, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Children whose mothers used antibiotics in pregnancy may have a slightly heightened risk of asthma, a new study suggests.Experts were quick to point out the finding does not prove cause and effect, and the reasons for the antibiotic use -- rather than the drug -- might explain the link, said lead researcher Cecilie Skaarup Uldbjerg, of Aarhus University in Denmark."Previous studies have found associations between maternal infections in pregnancy and childhood asthma," Uldbjerg said. Dr. Anthony Scialli, an expert in the reproductive effects of medications, went further.He said it's likely that something else explains the small increase in asthma risk.Maternal infections are one possibility, agreed Scialli, a clinical professor of obstetrics...
AHA News: Here's What Heart Patients Need to Know About...
11 February 2021
THURSDAY, Feb. 11, 2021 (American Heart Association News) -- When COVID-19 was first seen in the United States, now more than a year ago, doctors considered it a respiratory ailment. But that didn't last long.Researchers have linked the disease caused by the coronavirus directly to multiple heart-related issues. And it has contributed indirectly to deaths among people who had cardiac problems but delayed getting treatment.Even as vaccines are being rolled out at varying levels across the country, doctors and scientists continue to learn more about COVID-19 and cardiovascular health, but here's what people with heart conditions should know now.Conditions such as heart failure (where the heart does not pump blood effectively), coronary artery disease (blocked arteries) and...
Prior Exposure to Common Cold Won't Shield You From...
11 February 2021
THURSDAY, Feb. 11, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- It would be nice if it were true, but a bout of the common cold won't protect you against the new coronavirus infection, researchers report.Colds are caused by seasonal coronaviruses (CoVs) and previous studies have suggested that exposure to cold coronaviruses may safeguard against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes COVID-19.To find out if that was true, researchers analyzed blood samples collected from hundreds of people before the COVID-19 pandemic.More than 20% of the samples had CoV antibodies that could theoretically bind to both cold-causing CoVs and to key sites on SARS-CoV-2.However, these antibodies didn't reduce SARS-CoV-2 infectivity, and weren't associated with better outcomes in people who later got COVID-19, according to...
Genes Could Raise COVID Risks for People With Down Syndrome
11 February 2021
THURSDAY, Feb. 11, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Certain genetic factors in people with Down syndrome may increase their COVID-19 risks.Previous studies have found that people with Down syndrome are 10 times more likely to die from COVID-19, and experts have said they should be among those given priority for vaccination.In this new study, Spanish researchers examined genetic differences in people with Down syndrome that might affect their risk of infection and severe illness from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.While each cell expresses, or turns on, only a fraction of its genes, researchers found that people with Down syndrome have 60% higher expression of a gene called TMPRSS2. It turns on an enzyme that plays a key role in helping SARS-CoV-2 enter human cells.The gene is...
Abnormal Stool Test Result? Don't Delay Your Colonoscopy
11 February 2021
THURSDAY, Feb. 11, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Getting a colonoscopy as soon as possible after an abnormal stool test could reduce your risk of colon cancer and death from the disease, researchers say.In a new study, investigators analyzed data from more than 200,000 U.S. veterans, aged 50 to 75, who had an abnormal fecal immunochemical test (FIT) or fecal occult blood test (FOBT). Both are common stool blood screening tests. Abnormal results (blood in the stool) on the tests should be followed by a colonoscopy to check for precancerous and cancerous colon growths called polyps. Patients who had a colonoscopy more than 13 months after an abnormal stool blood test were up to 1.3 times more likely to develop colon cancer than those who had colonoscopy up to three months after the stool...
Prescription Opioids, Antibiotics in Pregnancy Won't Raise Birth Defect Risk: Studies
11 February 2021
THURSDAY, Feb. 11, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Taking prescription opioid painkillers or a common class of antibiotics during pregnancy doesn't increase the risk of major birth defects, according to two new studies.Both are often prescribed to pregnant women. Some studies have linked them with certain birth defects, but findings have been inconsistent.These new studies -- published Feb. 10 in the BMJ -- sought to clarify the issue.In the first study, researchers led by Dr. Brian Bateman, an associate professor of medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, analyzed 2000-2015 data for more than 82,000 U.S. women who received two or more opioid prescriptions during the first trimester of pregnancy.After accounting for other potential risk factors, there was no clinically meaningful...
Implant May Improve Lives of Those With Serious Balance Disorder
10 February 2021
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 10, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- An inner-ear implant may help people with a debilitating balance disorder get steady on their feet again, an early study suggests.The study involved eight patients with bilateral vestibular hypofunction (BVH). The disorder arises from a problem in the balance system of both inner ears, leading to chronic dizziness and instability when standing or walking. Researchers found that surgically implanting a device that stimulates the vestibular nerve in the inner ear improved those symptoms -- to the extent that patients could get back to exercising and gardening.The implant borrows from the principle behind cochlear implants, which are commonly used to treat hearing loss. However, the BVH procedure is still experimental."Right now, we can only...
