America Sees Daily COVID Cases Pass 60,000 Once Again
FRIDAY, Oct. 16, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The number of new U.S. coronavirus cases topped 60,000 on Thursday, a tally not reported since early August, as health experts worried the coming winter might push the toll even higher. The latest numbers have also sent the country's total COVID-19 case count past 8 million, the The New York Times reported. The surge is nationwide, with cases multiplying across the country: Forty-four states and the District of Columbia have higher caseloads now than in mid-September, and the new coronavirus is spreading across rural communities in the Midwest, the Upper Midwest and the Great Plains, the Washington Post reported. On Thursday, Wisconsin set a record with more than 4,000 new cases reported, the newspaper said. Illinois also reported more than...
COVID Scored Big at 'Superspreader' Hockey Game
15 October 2020
THURSDAY, Oct. 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- A single pick-up hockey game in Tampa Bay in June wound up becoming a COVID-19 superspreader event, with one player infecting as many as 15 other people on the ice, Florida public health officials report. The June 16 hockey game involved 22 men between the ages of 19 and 53, according to a report published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Players did not wear cloth face masks during the game or in the locker room afterward, according to the report. Within five days, 14 of the 22 players, as well as an ice rink staffer, fell ill with symptoms related to COVID-19, health officials said. Eventually, 13 of the 15 tested positive for COVID-19, including the man who brought the SARS-CoV-2 virus to the hockey rink, the...
An Expert's Guide to Safe Sleeping for Your Baby
15 October 2020
THURSDAY, Oct. 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- To keep your baby safe while sleeping, experts recommend practicing the "ABCs" of sleep. Babies should sleep alone, on their back and in a crib. That's the best way to prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). SIDS is the unexplained death of a child under 1 year of age that usually occurs during sleep. The United States has about 3,500 sleep-related deaths a year among babies, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Some causes of SIDS include overheating, strangulation and suffocation. Sharing a bed with someone, even a mother or twin, can increase the risk of these problems," said Dr. Eustratia Hubbard, medical director of newborn services at University of California, San Diego Health. "Placing babies on...
Bogus 'Cure' Claims Have U.S. Consumers Snapping Up CBD...
15 October 2020
THURSDAY, Oct. 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- CBD has been widely marketed as a cure-all for whatever ails you, and a new study finds many Americans are buying the sales pitch. Researchers tracking a Reddit forum on CBD found many folks discussing use of cannabidiol to treat conditions for which there are proven, safe and effective medicines and therapies. Forum participants said they were using CBD for mental and emotional problems, joint pain, sleep disturbances, neurological conditions, gastrointestinal issues and a host of other illnesses, researchers report Oct. 15 in JAMA Network Open. The problem is, there's no evidence that CBD is an effective treatment for these ailments. "The [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] has only approved CBD for one rare childhood condition for...
AHA News: Belly Fat May Signal Early Heart Issues for Mexican Americans
15 October 2020
THURSDAY, Oct. 15, 2020 (American Heart Association News) -- Among Mexican Americans, too much abdominal fat predicts the beginning of a buildup of plaque in the arteries called atherosclerosis – an early indication of heart disease. But new research shows this is only true for those who were born in the United States. "From a clinical perspective, this suggests we should probably be targeting second- or higher-generation Hispanics with public health initiatives to improve their cardiometabolic risk," said lead author Dr. Susan T. Laing, a professor of medicine at McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. In the study published Thursday in the Journal of the American Heart Association, researchers used ultrasound to measure the wall thickness...
Many Male Breast Cancers Diagnosed Late, and Delays Can Be Lethal
15 October 2020
THURSDAY, Oct. 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Breast cancer in men is rare. But because it's not often suspected in men, diagnosis often comes only after a tumor has begun to spread throughout the body, new research shows. "Approximately one-half of males with breast cancer received a diagnosis after it had already spread," either to nearby or distant tissues, said a team of researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Late diagnosis can be lethal: Overall, five-year survival with male breast cancer diagnosed early was nearly 99%, but it dropped to about 26% for men whose tumors had already spread to "distant" sites upon diagnosis. Nearly one in every 10 cases of male breast cancer (8.7%) were diagnosed at a late stage, the CDC team found. "Men tend to get...
Women at Higher Risk When Heart Attack Strikes the Young
15 October 2020
THURSDAY, Oct. 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Younger women who suffer a heart attack are more likely than men to die in the decade after surgery, a new study finds. It included more than 400 women and nearly 1,700 men, average age 45, who had a first heart attack between 2000 and 2016. During an average follow-up of more than 11 years, there were no statistically significant differences between men and women for deaths while in the hospital, or for heart-related deaths. However, women had a 1.6-fold increased risk of dying from other causes during the follow-up, according to the study published Oct. 14 in the European Heart Journal. "Cardiovascular deaths occurred in 73 men and 21 women, 4.4% versus 5.3% respectively, over a median follow-up time of 11.2 years," said study leader...
Bringing the Forest to Kids' Daycare May Boost Young Immune Systems
15 October 2020
THURSDAY, Oct. 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Want to give your kids an immune system boost? Try letting them play in the dirt more often, a new study suggests. Researchers in Finland found that when they brought nature into daycare playgrounds -- including forest soil and vegetation -- preschoolers' immune function showed a change for the better. In simple terms, it shifted to a less inflammatory state. That immune system redirect was also accompanied by some changes in the children's microbiome -- the vast collection of bacteria and other microbes that naturally live on and in the body. Research has revealed those bugs to be vital in normal body processes -- from metabolism to brain function to immune system regulation. It's too early to know whether bringing the forest to urban...
