Wildfire Smoke Could Cause More Than 9,000 U.S. Deaths Each Year
TUESDAY, June 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Clouds of smoke continue to drift over the Eastern United States and Europe from wildfires in Canada, and experts are predicting a longer and more destructive wildfire season due to rising temperatures and drier conditions.Now, new research puts a number on just how dangerous wildfire smoke can be. Smoke particulates from wildfires could cause 4,000 to 9,200 premature deaths and may cost between $36 billion and $82 billion each year in the United States, according to the new study.Wildfires release fine particulate matter, or PM2.5, into the air, and these very tiny particles can travel deep into the lungs and bloodstream and trigger an asthma attack, heart attack or strokes, among other risks.Symptoms may include coughing, wheezing and...

27 June 2023
TUESDAY, June 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- After appearing to lose his voice at a Saturday appearance, singer Lewis Capaldi is canceling his tour.Capaldi, who has Tourette syndrome, cited the need to adjust to the impact of the condition, the Associated Press reported.“First of all, thank you to Glastonbury for having me, for singing along when I needed it and for all the amazing messages afterwards,†he said in a statement after the appearance at the Glastonbury Festival in southwest England.“The fact that this probably won’t come as a surprise doesn’t make it any easier to write, but I’m very sorry to let you know I’m going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future,†Capaldi added.Capaldi previously said he was happy to have his Tourette symptoms...
The Age When People Seek Help for Gender Dysphoria Is...
27 June 2023
TUESDAY, June 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Growing numbers of young people are expressing a sense of a "mismatch" between the gender on their birth certificate and the one that they "feel" inside, particularly those assigned female at birth.And the age when these people are seeking help and gender-affirming medical care is dropping, according to a new study of more than 66 million people. Those assigned female at birth seek such care at about age 11, on average, while those assigned male at birth reach out at around age 13, the study showed.“Our study demonstrated a climbing prevalence of gender dysphoria especially in those assigned female at birth,†said study author Dr. Ching-Fang Sun, a resident at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine in Roanoke.

New Competitor to Wegovy Shows Promise in Clinical Trials
27 June 2023
TUESDAY, June 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental drug appears to outperform the trendy medications Wegovy and Ozempic for both weight loss and diabetes control, a pair of early clinical trials shows.Retatrutide helped people with obesity drop about one-quarter of their starting weight, on average, during 48 weeks taking the drug, according to phase 2 trial results published online June 26 in the New England Journal of Medicine.“What is clear is that 24% weight loss from a single drug has not been seen before,†said co-researcher Dr. Lee Kaplan, an associate professor with Harvard Medical School. “And the subjects in the trial were still losing weight at the end.â€The best comparable results come from last year's clinical trial results for the diabetes drug Mounjaro...

TUESDAY, June 27, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- At school dismissal one sunny October day in Pineville, Louisiana, then-9-year-old Anniston Fairbanks was headed toward her ride home when she realized she'd left her hoodie in her classroom. She ran back inside to retrieve it.When Anniston returned to the carpool line, she slid into the back seat of a pickup truck between her brothers, Cason, 11, and Garison, 7.

The driver, a physician's assistant, pulled her into the passenger's seat. He gave her several rescue breaths, reviving her. Then they went to the hospital.Blood, neurological and cardiac tests showed no signs...
Fasting Diets vs. Cutting Calories: Which Works Best?
27 June 2023
TUESDAY, June 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A trendy form of intermittent fasting does seem to help people lose some weight — though it may be no better than old-fashioned calorie counting, a new clinical trial suggests.Researchers found that the tactic — called time-restricted eating — helped people with obesity drop around 8 pounds, on average, over one year. That was right on par with a second study group who went the traditional route of calorie counting and portion control.Time-restricted eating is a form of intermittent fasting where people limit themselves to eating within a certain time window each day. Outside that window, they swear off everything other than calorie-free drinks.The main selling point of time-restricted eating is its simplicity: Instead of laboriously...
Malaria Cases in Florida, Texas Are First U.S. Spread in 20 Years
27 June 2023
TUESDAY, June 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Public health officials are warning doctors, especially those in southern states, to be on the lookout for local spread of malaria after five cases have been reported in the United States in the past two months. This is the first time there has been local spread in this country since 2003. Four of the cases were found in Florida and the fifth was in Texas, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a health alert it issued Monday. "Despite these cases, the risk of locally acquired malaria remains extremely low in the United States," the agency added in its alert.A parasite causes malaria, which is spread by a tropical mosquito, and causes fever, chills and a flu-like illness. It can also cause severe complications and...
