Fewer U.S. Cancer Patients Are Dying From Suicide, Study Finds
TUESDAY, Jan. 19, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- New research reveals an encouraging trend: Despite the rate of suicide rising overall for Americans, U.S. cancer patients are actually less likely now to take their own life than in the past.Researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) tracked national data on causes of death among Americans for the years 1999 through 2018. They found "a decreasing trend of cancer-related suicide during the past two decades," with suicides among cancer patients dropping an average 2.8% per year. That's compared to an annual 1.7% rise for suicides among the population as a whole, according to a team led by ACS researcher Xuesong Han.It's not clear why suicide rates are dropping for cancer patients, but one expert has a theory. The decline "suggests that...
Promising Steps Toward Retinal Cell Transplants to Fight...
19 January 2021
TUESDAY, Jan. 19, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- A promising step toward using retinal cell transplants to treat blindness is reported in a new study.Adult retinal stem cells from deceased human donors survived when they were transplanted into the eyes of non-human primates, according to the researchers.The cells were taken from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). It is a layer of cells that supports and nourishes the retina, the light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye. It helps maintain normal vision.RPE dysfunction can result in disorders such as macular degeneration and can cause blindness, which affects about 200 million people worldwide."The results of this study suggest human adult donor RPE is safe to transplant, strengthening the argument for human clinical trials for...
Strict Low-Carb Diets Could Push Type 2 Diabetes Into...
19 January 2021
TUESDAY, Jan. 19, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Tough limits on carbohydrates in your meals can help get type 2 diabetes under control -- but the benefits typically wane over time, a new research review shows.The analysis of 23 small trials found that low-carb diets worked better than other eating plans in helping people lose weight and send their type 2 diabetes into remission. That was true, at least, in the first six months.By the one-year mark, most of the advantages of the low-carb lifestyle had vanished.It's not clear why, according to Grant Brinkworth, one of the researchers on the review. But it's possible people had a tough time sticking with the diets.Diet changes, in general, are often hard to sustain, said Brinkworth, a senior researcher with the Commonwealth Scientific and...
Fried Food a Big Factor in Heart Disease, Stroke
19 January 2021
TUESDAY, Jan. 19, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Delicious but deadly: Eating fried food is tied to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke, a new study suggests. The risk rises with each additional 4-ounce serving per week, a research team in China found.For the study, the investigators analyzed 19 previously published studies. They combined data from 17 studies, involving more than 560,000 people with nearly 37,000 major cardiovascular events, such as heart attack or stroke.The researchers also used data from six studies, involving more than 750,000 participants and nearly 86,000 deaths over an average of 10 years.The study findings showed that compared with those who ate the lowest amount of fried food per week, those who ate the most had a 28% greater risk of major cardiovascular...
The Family Cat Could Be Good Medicine for Kids With Autism
19 January 2021
TUESDAY, Jan. 19, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Cats have a long history of boosting people's moods and brightening their days. And that's probably true for kids on the autism spectrum as well, new research shows.The small study suggests that adopting a shelter cat may help reduce separation anxiety and improve empathy in kids with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD)."Cats, and companion animals in general, offer unconditional acceptance and someone to talk to that listens, and caring for an animal can help with learning responsibility," said study author Gretchen Carlisle. She's a research scientist at the Research Center for Human-Animal Interaction at the University of Missouri, in Columbia.ASD is a brain disorder that affects social skills, communication and impulse control. In the United...
A Promising New Therapy Against OCD?
19 January 2021
TUESDAY, Jan. 19, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Noninvasive electrical stimulation of the brain, fine-tuned to specific "circuitry" gone awry, might help ease obsessive-compulsive behaviors, an early study hints.Researchers found that the brain stimulation, delivered over five days, reduced obsessive-compulsive tendencies for three months, though in people who did not have full-blown obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).It's too early to say whether the approach can be translated into an OCD therapy, said researcher Shrey Grover, a PhD student in psychological and brain sciences at Boston University. "We need more research to replicate these findings. It will take time before this is widely available."But the work, described online Jan. 18 in Nature Medicine, builds on a body of research...
Many Parents Support 'Teens Helping Teens' Mental Health Programs at Schools: Poll
19 January 2021
TUESDAY, Jan. 19, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- It may take a village to support teens' mental health, whether it's during the pandemic or later. One option is having school-based mental health programs that offer peer support leaders.A new C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health at Michigan Medicine found that one in three parents are strongly in favor of a peer support program. The poll also asked questions that got at the heart of pros and cons of this type of program. "Peers may provide valuable support for fellow teens struggling with emotional issues because they can relate to each other," said Mott Poll co-director Sarah Clark. "Some teens may worry that their parents will overreact or not understand what they're going through. Teachers and school counselors...
AHA News: This Energetic 8-Year-Old Boy Was Born With a Serious Heart Defect
19 January 2021
TUESDAY, Jan. 19, 2021 (American Heart Association News) -- The wind howled and thunder boomed as an ambulance raced Spencer Timmel and his newborn son, Charlie, to a hospital better able to care for infants with heart problems."The weather was very reflective of what was going on in our lives," Spencer said. "The perfect storm."Spencer and his wife, Erin, had tried for years to conceive before she became pregnant with Charlie. Nine drama-free months later, doctors delivered Charlie. Then, like the weather outside, "Things started to spiral out of control," Spencer said.Ordinarily, a newborn baby's skin turns pink shortly after birth, as the heart pumps oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. Charlie's skin, however, had a blueish tint – a sign that something was wrong with his heart....
