As Pickleball's Popularity Rises, So Do Related Injuries
TUESDAY, July 4, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Pickleball has burst onto the scene, inspiring people of all ages to pick up a paddle.But as with any sport, it’s possible to get hurt. Some best practices can help prevent injuries, according to a sports medicine expert.For pickleball players, the most common injury is to the rotator cuff tendon in the shoulder.This can cause shoulder pain, especially with movement and use. Problems range from tendonitis and bursitis to a tear of the tendon itself. Bigger tears can create weakness. Someone might not be able to use their arm.“The unfortunate reality of the rotator cuff is that everyday use can cause tearing and damage,†said Dr. Bruce Moseley, an orthopedic surgeon from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. “You don’t necessarily...
What's in the Water? Maybe Germs That Could Harm You
4 July 2023
TUESDAY, July 4, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Under the surface of your favorite swimming pool, beach and lakes, hazards too small to be seen by the naked eye may await.And these bacteria, viruses and parasites can turn a refreshing plunge into a nasty infection.“There's a variety of microorganisms that can make recreational activities in water less than fun,†said Dr. Stacey Rose, associate professor of infectious diseases at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. “Microorganisms thrive in every type of water, and infections will impact everyone differently.â€Recreational swimming has been linked to outbreaks of Cryptosporidium, Legionella, norovirus and Giardia.Folks who have compromised immune systems or open wounds should not swim in these shared water environments. Those with...
Another Enemy on the Front Lines in Ukraine:...
4 July 2023
TUESDAY, July 4, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Bacteria found in hospital patients in Ukraine is showing extreme antibiotic resistance, making it harder to treat the wounded and ill in this war-torn country, new research warns.“I am quite thick-skinned and have witnessed numerous situations involving patients and bacteria," said study author and bacteriologist Kristian Riesbeck. "However, I must admit that I have never encountered bacteria as resistant as this before.â€Riesbeck is professor of clinical bacteriology at Lund University in Sweden. He and his colleagues are working with microbiologists in Ukraine to investigate this issue.Oleksandr Nazarchuk, a microbiologist in Vinnytsia, Ukraine, reached out to Lund for help in assessing the extent of antibiotic resistance among severely...
Taking Ozempic, Wegovy? Stop Before Surgery,...
3 July 2023
MONDAY, July 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The trendy weight-loss drug Ozempic could be dangerous for a patient undergoing anesthesia for an operation, according to a new warning from the American Society of Anesthesiologists.Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and other drugs of their class known as GLP-1 receptor agonists cause digestion to slow down, which decreases hunger and reduces how much people eat.That food left in the stomach increases the risk you will vomit while under anesthesia, said ASA President Dr. Michael Champeau.“We’ve had reports of people vomiting immediately preoperatively when there shouldn't be any food in their stomach,†Champeau said. “As soon as we started hearing anecdotal reports and case reports, the mind immediately goes to how the drug works and what...
Staying Fit Lowers a Man's Cancer Risk, Study Confirms
3 July 2023
MONDAY, July 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A man’s cardio fitness might influence whether he’ll develop -- or survive -- three of the most common cancers in males, a new Swedish study reports.Higher levels of cardio fitness are associated with a significantly lower risk of developing colon and lung cancers, researchers report.Cardio fitness also plays a role in a man’s likelihood of surviving prostate, colon and lung cancers, results show.“Better cardiorespiratory fitness [CRF] is not only important for reducing cardiovascular disease risk, which is often communicated, but also for reducing cancer risk in men,†said lead researcher Elin Ekblom-Bak, a senior lecturer with the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences in Stockholm.“Current cancer prevention guidelines focus...
Supreme Court Lets Gender Dysphoria Ruling Stand in Win for Transgender Rights
3 July 2023
MONDAY, July 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday let stand a federal appeals court ruling that found people with gender dysphoria should be protected against discrimination under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). “By declining to hear this case, the Supreme Court implicitly acknowledges what those who have seriously examined the issue have concluded: the ADA protects people who experience gender dysphoria, including transgender and nonbinary people, from being discriminated against on that basis,†Olivia Hunt, policy director for the National Center for Transgender Equality, told the Associated Press.Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented. “The Fourth Circuit’s decision makes an important provision of a federal law inoperative...
Hormone Replacement Therapy May Raise a Woman's Risk for Chronic Reflux
3 July 2023
MONDAY, July 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Some women take hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to combat the hot flashes and night sweats that accompany menopause, but a new study review suggests hormone therapy may increase a woman’s risk for developing heartburn.Women who take or have ever taken hormones are at greater risk for developing gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD, which is marked by heartburn, difficulty swallowing and chest pain, the analysis of five previous studies found. It was published June 27 in Menopause, journal of the North American Menopause Society.This isn’t the first time that HRT has been linked to side effects. Long-term use fell from grace in 2002 after the Women's Health Initiative study found hormones increased the risk of strokes, and breast and...
Certain Cancers on the Rise Among Hispanic Americans
3 July 2023
MONDAY, July 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Cancer death rates among Hispanic Americans have declined in general over the past two decades, but for certain cancers the outlook has only gotten worse, a new study finds.First, the good news: Thanks to improvements in screening, diagnosis and treatment -- and a decline in smoking -- the U.S. cancer death rate has been dropping for years. And the new study found that this is true of Hispanic Americans, too.Unfortunately, deaths from certain cancers are ging in the opposite direction: Between 1999 and 2020, the study found, deaths from liver cancer rose among Hispanic-American men and women, while women saw an increase in deaths from pancreatic and uterine cancers.Also worrisome, cancer deaths rose among Hispanic men under 35 -- an age when...
