Biden Using CPAP Machine at Night to Help Ease Sleep Apnea
THURSDAY, June 29, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- President Joe Biden Has started using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine at night in recent weeks to help ease sleep apnea, the White House announced Wednesday.As reported by the Associated Press, Biden first mentioned his history of sleep apnea in 2008, but the announcement came as indents were noted on his face when he departed the White House on Wednesday for a meeting in Chicago.Sleep apnea is a very common condition in which nighttime breathing stops and starts throughout sleep. A CPAP machine involves the use of a mask worn during sleep; the CPAP machine pushes air through the mask into a person’s airway. According to the AP, about 30 million Americans thought to suffer from sleep apnea, but only about 6 million have...
Mixed Results on Vitamin D's Benefit for Aging Hearts
29 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 29, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Vitamin D supplements might lower the risk of heart attack and other cardiac ills for people over 60 -- especially if they're already taking heart meds, a new study suggests. "Our results suggest that further exploration of the possible benefit of vitamin D on cardiovascular events, particularly in those at higher risk of having an event, might be warranted," said senior researcher Rachel Neale.Evidence of benefit was strongest for folks taking cholesterol-lowering statins or other heart medications, said Neale, deputy coordinator of the population health program at the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Queensland, Australia.The large trial found "some evidence of benefit for people who were taking drugs to treat cardiovascular...
California Cases Show Home-Grown Leprosy Is Still a Threat
29 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 29, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Leprosy is an ancient infectious disease, but it has not been banished to the past, or from the United States.That's the key takeaway from a new report describing six cases of leprosy among California residents. All were diagnosed between 2017 and 2022, and all were U.S.-born -- that is, not hailing from a country where leprosy remains relatively common.It's not clear where or how the patients contracted leprosy -- a disease that, without treatment, can cause complications like paralysis, blindness and disfigurement.But the disease remains rare in the United States, and experts stressed that the average person should not add it to their list of things to worry about."There's no reason to be alarmed," said Dr. Brandon Adler, a clinical...
Exercise + Weight Loss Perfect Combo to Fight Diabetes
29 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 29, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Pairing exercise with a 10% weight loss can make a major health improvement in people living with obesity and prediabetes, a new study says.Building in regular exercise more than doubled sensitivity to insulin compared to just weight loss alone. This has the potential to prevent or delay prediabetes from progressing into type 2 diabetes while also decreasing the risk of heart disease, researchers said.“Insulin resistance is a major factor that causes type 2 diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and abnormal blood lipids in people with obesity," said senior investigator Dr. Samuel Klein, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis."We’ve shown that combining exercise with weight...
Protect Your Kids in Blistering Summer Heat
29 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 29, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Enjoy that summer sun, but keep some safety tips in mind, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advises parents.“It’s great to see children enjoying nature and reaping the benefits of outdoor activities,†Atlanta-based pediatrician Dr. Rebecca Philipsborn said in an AAP news release. “As we encounter more intense weather events, including severe heat, there are some layers of protection that families can use to help their kids stay healthy.â€Among the issues to consider are air quality and pollution. Sun and heat can worsen local air pollution. You can check your local Air Quality Index, the AAP suggests. This will help you to know when air pollution, wildfires and heat raise the risk of asthma and other health issues.For sun...
'Like She Was Not Even There': Children With Disabilities Face Discrimination in Health Care
29 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 29, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Children with disabilities are discriminated against in health care settings -- to the detriment of their health, according to their parents.Thirty in-depth interviews with parents of children with disabilities revealed a disturbingly common thread. “They mistreated her and treated her like a robot. Every single time a nurse walked in the room, they treated her like she was not even there,†said one mother who was asked about her child’s health care encounters.Researchers at University of Utah Health, who led the study, said the attitudes described by parents could result in substandard medical treatment and poor health outcomes.The parents and other family caregivers who were interviewed were from 15 U.S. states and looked after...
New Ways to Spot Risk for CTE in Boxers, MMA Fighters
29 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 29, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Autopsy is currently the only way to definitively diagnose chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease often seen in athletes who've suffered repeated blows to the head.But there may be a way to predict which athletes are likely to develop CTE, researchers report June 28 in the journal Neurology.They outline criteria for a condition called traumatic encephalopathy syndrome, where CTE is suspected based on cognitive impairment, behavior changes and other factors. “These findings suggest that this new diagnosis of traumatic encephalopathy syndrome may be useful in professional sports such as boxing and mixed martial arts and may be helpful in predicting who may experience cognitive decline,†study co-author Brooke...
After Battling Mental Health Issues, Star Gymnast Simone Biles Plans Return to Competition
28 June 2023
WEDNESDAY, June 28, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- After a focus on her own mental health and that of other athletes, U.S. gymnast Simone Biles will return to elite competition. Biles will begin with the Aug. 5 U.S. Classic outside of Chicago, the Associated Press reported. She has not competed since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, held in 2021, where she removed herself from several events because of a mental health struggle.Biles, 26, is a seven-time Olympic medalist and the 2016 Olympic champion. She has taken most of the past two years off while advocating for athletes to be able to protect their mental health, the AP reported. In the interim, she also got married to NFL player Jonathan Owens, a defensive back for the Green Bay Packers, this spring. In Tokyo, after withdrawing from events,...
