Normal Conversation Spreads Virus-Laden Droplets Beyond 6 Feet
FRIDAY, Oct. 2, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Ordinary conversation releases airborne droplets that can spread widely through indoor spaces, a finding with big implications for transmission of the new coronavirus, researchers say. Their experiments showed that everyday talk can expel droplets farther than the typical "social distancing" limit of 6 feet. "People should recognize that they have an effect around them," said Howard Stone, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Princeton University in New Jersey. "It's not just around your head, it is at the scale of meters." One meter equals just over 3 feet. How COVID-19 spreads is not fully understood, but it's believed that people without symptoms could infect others through tiny droplets created when they speak, sing or...
President Trump, First Lady Test Positive for Coronavirus
2 October 2020
FRIDAY, Oct. 2, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- President Donald Trump announced early Friday morning that he and his wife, Melania Trump, have tested positive for the coronavirus. In a tweet sent out at 1 a.m., Trump said they will both quarantine in the White House for an unspecified period of time, The New York Times reported. The diagnosis forces him to temporarily withdraw from the campaign trail just 32 days before the election on Nov. 3. The White House did not say whether the 74-year-old or his wife were experiencing symptoms. The president's physician, Dr. Sean Conley, said Trump could carry out his duties "without disruption" from the Executive Mansion, the Times reported. On Friday, Vice President Mike Pence and wife Karen, along with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, all...
Genetics Might Explain Some Cases of Cerebral Palsy
1 October 2020
THURSDAY, Oct. 1, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Genetic problems cause about 14% of cerebral palsy cases, and many of the implicated genes control the wiring of brain circuits during early fetal development, new research shows. The largest genetic study of cerebral palsy supports previous findings and provides "the strongest evidence to date that a significant portion of cerebral palsy cases can be linked to rare genetic mutations, and in doing so identified several key genetic pathways involved," said study co-senior author Dr. Michael Kruer. He's a neurogeneticist at Phoenix Children's Hospital and the University of Arizona College of Medicine. The study was largely funded by the U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, part of the National Institutes of Health...
Tough Menopause May Signal Future Heart Woes
1 October 2020
THURSDAY, Oct. 1, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- As if the misery of hot flashes, night sweats and sleep troubles weren't enough, now new research suggests that women who routinely experience moderate to severe menopausal symptoms have a higher risk of stroke and heart disease. "This analysis assessed various menopausal symptoms and their association with health outcomes. Women with two or more moderate to severe menopausal symptoms had an increased risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease," said study author Dr. Matthew Nudy, a cardiology fellow at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. This study didn't prove a cause-and-effect relationship, it only showed an association between menopausal symptoms and stroke and other heart and blood vessel diseases. It's possible that menopause symptoms...
With 'Twindemic' Looming, 2 out of 5 Americans Plan to Skip Flu Shot
1 October 2020
THURSDAY, Oct. 1, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Despite a potential looming "twindemic" of influenza and COVID-19, about 2 in 5 U.S. adults do not plan to get a flu shot, a new survey shows. Only 59% of adults surveyed said they will get the influenza vaccine during the 2020-2021 flu season, according to results released Thursday by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. That's up slightly from the 52% who planned to get a flu shot in 2019, but nowhere near enough to stave off the potential for overlapping flu and COVID-19 epidemics, said Dr. William Schaffner, the NFID's medical director. "We in the infectious disease community have been talking about a potentially 'double-barreled' respiratory virus season, when flu and COVID-19 converge," Schaffner said. "There's a real risk...
In Rare Case, COVID-19 Test Caused Spinal Fluid Leak
1 October 2020
THURSDAY, Oct. 1, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Doctors stress that it's a very rare occurrence, but one woman's pre-surgery COVID-19 nasal swab test appears to have triggered a release of cerebrospinal fluid into her upper nasal cavities. The incident was tied to a tiny gap in the bones of the woman's skull -- an encephalocele. "The [COVID-19 test] swab itself did not result in a violation of the bony skull base, but rather the invasive test caused trauma to the patient's preexisting encephalocele," reported a team led by Dr. Jarrett Walsh. He's with the department of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, in Iowa City. As the researchers explained, millions of people worldwide are enduring the discomfort of nasal swab tests for SARS-CoV-2...
Immunotherapy Drug Boosts Survival for Lung Cancer Patients
1 October 2020
THURSDAY, Oct. 1, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- A newly approved drug for the leading form of the number one cancer killer, lung cancer, does improve patient survival, a new study confirms. The immunotherapy drug Tecentriq (atezolizumab) was approved earlier this year by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat patients with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC), which comprise up to 85% of all lung tumors. Tecentriq targets a protein known as PD-L1 that lies on the surface of tumor cells. Normally, this protein signals the body's immune system T cells not to attack. However, by targeting PD-L1, Tecentriq unleashes the body's natural T cells to target and destroy these cancer cells, researchers at Yale Cancer Center explained. Tecentriq "has already shown excellent...
A Bit of Mom's Poop Might Boost Health of C-Section Babies: Study
1 October 2020
THURSDAY, Oct. 1, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Delivering by cesarean section deprives babies from receiving mom's beneficial bacteria during the journey through the birth canal. Now researchers are studying an innovative way to counter that: Feeding newborns breast milk fortified with their mother's poop. There is, indeed, a yuck factor, the scientists acknowledge. But they also stress that the tactic, still under study, is done through a carefully controlled, hygienic process. And mothers seem to be all for it. The research, described in the Oct. 1 issue of Cell, is part of a growing interest in the microbiome -- the vast collection of bacteria and other microbes that naturally dwell in and on the body. Studies in recent years have been revealing just how important those bugs are to...
