Losing Your Hair Because of Pandemic Stress?
FRIDAY, Nov. 20, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Add stress-related hair loss to the many problems caused by the coronavirus pandemic."I've had patients coming in recently with stress-related hair loss, who tell me they were so worried about dying earlier this year or even that they had COVID-19. But they don't see the effects until three months later," said dermatologist Dr. Ohara Aivaz of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles."It throws the patient off because the stress has resolved, and yet, the physical manifestation is happening now," Aivaz said in a hospital news release.Stress-related hair loss typically occurs three months or more after a stressful event. Why it takes that long isn't clear, but the body may prematurely force hair into the dormant phase of its growth cycle, which...
Add Kids to COVID Vaccine Trials, Pediatricians' Group Says
20 November 2020
FRIDAY, Nov. 20, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Children should be included in COVID-19 vaccine trials at the earliest possible stage, a leading group of U.S. pediatricians says. If that's not done, youngsters' lives could be at risk, according to the 67,000-member American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)."If we do not add children to these research trials very soon, there will be a significant delay in when children are able to access potentially life-saving vaccines. This is unconscionable," said Dr. Sally Goza, president of the AAP. Over a million children have been infected with the new coronavirus since the pandemic began. In addition, children have experienced disruptions to their education and critical medical services, as well as harms to their mental and emotional health, she added. "It...
Disasters Leave a Rise in Suicides in Their Wake: Study
20 November 2020
FRIDAY, Nov. 20, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Hurricanes, tornadoes and other major disasters can cause more damage than devastation to property, a new study suggests.Researchers found that the severe emotional distress and anxiety for those who have lived through major disasters can also lead to suicide.The authors examined 281 natural disasters during a 12-year period and their impact on suicide rates in those communities.They looked at disaster declaration data and found suicide rates increased by 23% when compared to rates before and after the disaster. Suicide rates increased for all types of disasters, with the largest overall increase occurring two years after a disaster."That finding is important, I think, because those could be preventable deaths with better disaster preparedness...
Election Outcome Hasn't Lowered Americans' Stress...
19 November 2020
THURSDAY, Nov. 19, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. presidential election may be over, but many Americans remain stressed about it, as well as a number of other worries, a new poll finds.The online Harris Poll survey from the American Psychological Association (APA) -- which included more than 2,000 adults aged 18 and older -- was conducted Nov. 12-16. It found that 27% of respondents said their stress has actually increased since Election Day, while just 17% said it has decreased.Specific sources of stress cited by the majority of respondents include the election outcome, the current political climate, the future of the nation and the coronavirus pandemic."There is no doubt that we continue to face significant challenges in 2020, from the election to the pandemic. These findings...
Stay Home This Holiday, CDC and Medical Groups Urge
19 November 2020
THURSDAY, Nov. 19, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Americans should stay home and avoid big Thanksgiving gatherings, leading public health agencies and medical societies warn, as COVID-19 cases surge across the country.At a press conference held Thursday, officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advised people to limit celebrations to only those who've been living in the household for the previous two weeks. Groups representing the nation's doctors, nurses and hospitals also issued a joint recommendation to curb travel and mingling this holiday season."With Thanksgiving approaching, our hearts and minds turn to seeing family and friends, as part of one of our nation's great traditions, and we all need to consider the safest way to celebrate this holiday," said Dr....
Are Statin Side Effects 'All in Your Head'?
19 November 2020
THURSDAY, Nov. 19, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Most of the side effects commonly blamed on cholesterol-lowering statins may actually be the product of patients' imaginations, new British research claims.The finding follows a study of 60 patients who had been taking statins but stopped because of reported muscle aches, fatigue and/or joint pain. But after giving the patients an unmarked eight-month supply of statins and dummy pills (four bottles of each), the investigators found that 90% of the symptoms reported when taking the real drug endured, even when patients were taking a dummy (placebo) pill."Cardiovascular disease is the biggest killer worldwide, and statins are one of the best drugs we have at reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke," explained study author James Howard....
COVID in Pregnancy Won't Affect Obstetric Outcomes: Study
19 November 2020
THURSDAY, Nov. 19, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Pregnant women with COVID-19 have little risk of developing severe symptoms, as do their newborns, a new study finds.In fact, 95% of these women have good outcomes, and just 3% of their babies test positive for COVID-19, researchers say."For 5% of COVID-19-positive pregnant women, however -- those who get very sick -- the risks to both mother and baby are significant," said study lead author Dr. Emily Adhikari, medical director of perinatal infectious diseases at Parkland Hospital in Dallas.Pregnancy itself, however, does not appear to increase the odds for COVID complications, she said."Most women with asymptomatic or mild infection will be relieved to know that their babies are unlikely to be affected by the virus," Adhikari said."When...
AHA News: Mother Brought Back to Life the Day She Gave Birth
19 November 2020
THURSDAY, Nov. 19, 2020 (American Heart Association News) -- Jessica Grib noticed being a lot more tired with her second pregnancy. She felt winded easily and couldn't catch her breath when lying down. Near her delivery date, she started having issues with high blood pressure. At 36 weeks, her blood pressure remained high enough – even with medicine – that doctors ordered her on bed rest.Her daughter, Amelia, was born a week later. It almost cost Jessica her life.Because Amelia was breech, not in the head-down position, doctors ordered a caesarean section. Everything was OK until Jessica reached the recovery room."Her oxygen levels plummeted, and her heart rate was all over the place. They couldn't stabilize it," said her husband, Kevin. "That's really the first indication that...
