Weight-Loss Surgery May Cut Pancreatic Cancer Risk in People With Diabetes
MONDAY, Oct. 12, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Weight-loss surgery significantly reduces the risk of pancreatic cancer in obese people with diabetes, a new study finds. For the study, the researchers analyzed 20 years of data from 1.4 million people, including more than 10,000 who'd had weight-loss surgery. About three-quarters of those who had weight-loss surgery were women. People who'd had weight-loss surgery were less likely to develop pancreatic cancer than those who hadn't had the surgery (0.19% versus 0.32%), the investigators found. "Obesity and diabetes are well-known risk factors for pancreatic cancer via chronic inflammation, excess hormones and growth factors released by body fat," said study author Dr. Aslam Syed, of the division of gastroenterology at Allegheny Health...
Study Probes Links in Asthma, Food Sensitivity and...
12 October 2020
MONDAY, Oct. 12, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Teens who had asthma and food hypersensitivity when they were younger are at increased risk of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), researchers report. For the study, the investigators examined the health of 2,770 children from birth to age 16. Kids with IBS at age 16 were more likely to have had asthma at age 12 (about 11% versus 7%). In addition, the researchers found that 16-year-olds with IBS were more likely to have had food hypersensitivity at age 12 (41% versus 29%). Asthma, food hypersensitivity and eczema (a condition that makes your skin red and itchy) were all associated with an increased risk of concurrent IBS at age 16, the findings showed. "The associations found in this large study suggest there's a shared pathophysiology...
Cancer Takes Heavy Toll on Women's Work and Finances: Study
12 October 2020
MONDAY, Oct. 12, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Young women with cancer are at a high risk for employment and financial consequences, a new study finds. "Our study addresses the burden of employment disruption and financial hardship among young women with cancer -- a group who may be at particular risk for poor financial outcomes after cancer given their age and gender," said researcher Clare Meernik, a fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. She and her colleagues surveyed more than 1,300 women in North Carolina and California a median of seven years after diagnosis. Their cancer was diagnosed when they were 15 to 39 years of age and working. Following their diagnosis, 32% of the women had to stop working or cut back on their...
For Many Pregnant Women, COVID-19 Has Prolonged Effect
12 October 2020
MONDAY, Oct. 12, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- COVID-19 symptoms can last a long time in pregnant women, researchers say. The new study included 594 pregnant women (average age 31) across the United States who tested positive for the new coronavirus but were not hospitalized. Nearly one-third were health care workers. On average, the women were about 24 weeks' pregnant when they joined the study. The most common early symptoms were cough (20%), sore throat (16%), body aches (12%) and fever (12%). By comparison, fever occurs in 43% of hospital patients who are not pregnant. For 6%, loss of taste or smell was the first symptom. Other symptoms included shortness of breath, runny nose, sneezing, nausea, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea or dizziness. While six out of 10 women had no...
Don't Overdo the Halloween Candy, or Your Smile May Suffer
11 October 2020
SUNDAY, Oct. 11, 2020 (HealthDay News) - - COVID-19 may change the look of Halloween this year, but dressing up and indulging in some sweets is all part of the fun, even if your kids can't go door to door. And experts say one night of eating candy won't have a big effect on your teeth if it's done in moderation. "It is all about having self-control or parental control," said Dr. Gregory Olson, chair of pediatric dentistry at the University of Texas Health School of Dentistry. "Having a piece of candy here and there won't do too much damage to a healthy mouth, but the type of candy you pick, how many you eat, how long it lasts, and how you care for your teeth afterward could make all the difference," Olson said in a school news release. The worst candies for teeth are hard or...
Trump's Doctor Says He Is No Longer Infectious After COVID-19 Diagnosis
11 October 2020
SUNDAY, Oct. 11, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Hours after President Donald Trump held a rally on the White House lawn for hundreds of supporters, his doctor said he is "no longer considered a transmission risk to others." In a memo released Saturday night, White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said he was sharing information about the status of Trump's coronavirus infection with permission from Trump, The New York Times reported. But the amount of information he provided was limited. Trump was first diagnosed with COVID-19 on Oct. 2. Health experts have repeatedly questioned the severity of Trump's illness, and his health could still deteriorate in the next few days, they added. "I don't think he's out of the woods for certain," Dr. Krutika Kuppalli, an infectious disease physician...
Your Guide to a Safe and Happy Halloween
10 October 2020
SATURDAY, Oct. 10, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The truly scary thing about Halloween this year is that it's occurring during a pandemic, but there are safe ways to celebrate, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says. Suggestions include: virtual costume parties; physically distant, outdoor costume parades; Halloween-themed craft making; movie nights at home; decorating pumpkins; and making favorite treats. "Many kids look forward to Halloween all year, and it's typical to feel some disappointment as we see how the pandemic has affected our milestone events," said pediatrician Dr. Shelly Vaziri Flais, an AAP spokesperson. "But we can be flexible and creative, and model this for our kids, too. Halloween is not always the same," she noted. "If parents model a positive and creative...
Trump to Hold White House Rally as Fauci Says Superspreader Event Occurred There
10 October 2020
SATURDAY, Oct. 10, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Even as the nation's top infectious diseases expert said Friday that the White House experienced a "superspreader" event in the Rose Garden last month, President Donald Trump announced he will hold his first public event at the White House since testing positive for the coronavirus a week ago. The Saturday event, which will have Trump speaking from a balcony to a crowd of supporters on the South Lawn, has already caused concern among some officials in the White House, which has been rocked by an outbreak following Trump's diagnosis, the Washington Post reported. Trump's medical team has not yet released the results of Trump's latest COVID-19 test, so it was unclear whether Trump is still contagious, the Post reported. But Trump has ignored...
