THURSDAY, Dec. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Cancer cases among U.S. teens and young adults have shot up 30% since the 1970s, new research reveals.Kidney cancer has risen at the greatest rate, increasing more than threefold among young men and women, according to the researchers. Breast cancers were the most common cancers among women and testicular cancer was the most common among men.Using data collected by the U.S. National Cancer Institute, the investigators looked at half a million cancer cases diagnosed between 1973 and 2015 among people aged 15 to 39.What explains the dramatic rise in this age group?

Americans With Asthma Get First Updated Guidelines in...
3 December 2020
THURSDAY, Dec. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. National Institutes of Health has updated guidelines for treating asthma.The update is the first in 13 years and takes into account new medications and other advances in asthma care. It focuses on treatment tailored for different age groups and severity of disease.But better asthma care won't come from new guidelines alone, according to the American Lung Association's chief medical officer."Patients need to realize that open communication with their physician is the key to controlling asthma," said Dr. Albert Rizzo, who was not involved in creating the guidelines.Depending on the severity of disease, there are many options for treating asthma. There are ways of increasing -- or decreasing -- therapy if needed, but Rizzo said doctors...
Pandemic Is Driving U.S. Surge in Cardiac Arrests Tied...
3 December 2020
JAMAODCOVID.pdfTHURSDAY, Dec. 3 (HealthDay News) -- Blame it on the pandemic: For people struggling with drug addiction, 2020 has triggered a big rise in emergency room visits for cardiac arrest tied to drug overdoses, new research shows.The finding was based on data involving 80% of emergency medical services (EMS) "activations" across the United States. It showed "a large-magnitude, national surge in overdose-related cardiac arrest during the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic," according to a team led by Joseph Friedman of the Medical Science Training Program at the University of California, Los Angeles. Analyzing data on nearly 26 million EMS calls in 2020, they found that OD-linked cardiac arrests reached a peak in May, when lockdowns began to really take hold across the...
Youth Vaping Rates Have Plunged During Lockdown: Study
3 December 2020
THURSDAY, Dec. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Vaping among teens and young adults has decreased dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic, with two-thirds of e-cigarette users reporting that they've either cut back or quit, a new study says.About 32% of e-cigarette users said they quit this year and another 35% reported cutting back, according to survey results published Dec. 3 in JAMA Network Online.Concerns about lung health were a major factor in their decision, the results indicate. One in 4 respondents who cut back or quit said they were motivated by concern that vaping could weaken their lungs.Research has shown that smokers have a higher risk of severe COVID-19 infection, noted senior researcher Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, a developmental psychologist and professor of pediatrics at...
Years Before Diagnosis, People With Alzheimer's Lose Financial Acumen
3 December 2020
THURSDAY, Dec. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Even before signs of Alzheimer's disease or dementia appear, people are prone to make poor financial decisions, a new study finds.Older people diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's were more likely to miss credit card payments as early as six years before their diagnosis, compared with similar people without dementia (about 8% versus 7%), the researchers found.Patients with dementia were also likely to have lower credit scores in the three years before diagnosis than those without dementia (about 9% versus 8%). These financial problems were more common among patients with less education, the findings showed."Missed bill payments can have catastrophic consequences, like losing a home, car or business. By the time dementia is detected, it may...

AHA News: Heart Disease, Stroke More Deadly in 'Socially Vulnerable' Counties
3 December 2020
THURSDAY, Dec. 3, 2020 (American Heart Association News) -- Your chances of dying from heart disease or stroke are higher if you live in a county considered socially vulnerable due to factors such as poverty, crowded housing and poor access to transportation, new research shows."The findings confirm what we might have imagined – that social and place-based factors play a key role in cardiovascular mortality," said lead investigator Dr. Quentin R. Youmans, a cardiology fellow at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago. "Moving forward, we have to focus on those social determinants of health just as much as we have to focus on therapeutics and other prevention measures."Researchers looked at death rates from heart disease and stroke from 1999-2018 for 2,766 counties, representing 95% of...

"Most children with COVID-19 are either asymptomatic or have mild symptoms, but our case shows the...
