Steady Rise in Vape Product Poisonings Among Kids Under 5
THURSDAY, June 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The number of cases of vape product-related poisonings reported to America’s poison control centers doubled between 2018 and early 2023, a new report finds. The bulk of those cases were in kids under the age of 5.“The public should be aware that e-cigarettes have the potential to cause poisoning exposure and are a continuing public health concern,†warned a team of researchers led by Nicole Tashakkori, from the Center for Tobacco Products at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.To prevent these tragedies, “adult e-cigarette users should store their e-cigarettes and e-liquids safely to prevent access by young children,†they wrote.According to the National Capital Poison Center, the nicotine found in e-cigarettes can prove...
Vape Sales Soared in 2022, Especially Flavors Appealing...
22 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Despite a federal ban that has removed many flavored vapes from the U.S. market, monthly e-cigarette sales jumped 47% in the first two years of the pandemic, a new government study shows."The surge in total e-cigarette sales during 2020-2022 was driven by non-tobacco flavored e-cigarette sales, such as menthol, which dominates the prefilled cartridge market, and fruit and candy flavors, which lead the disposable e-cigarette market," said lead study author Fatma Romeh Ali, a health economist at the CDC Foundation.Sales of menthol-flavored electronic cigarettes remained stable, while other flavored products — which include fruit, clove/spice, candy/sweets and chocolate — increased from 29% to 41%, the researchers from the U.S. Centers for...
AHA News: Family History Can Help Identify Health Risks,...
22 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 22, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- At the doctor's office, questions about a person's family health history often can help health care professionals determine the risk of developing chronic conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.But among many Latino people, especially immigrants, talking about and recording family health history is rare. The reasons are not well understood, but studies suggest that cultural influences – family dynamics, stigma, fear and secrecy – can create barriers."It's common that when Hispanic/Latino patients come to the clinic and you ask them, 'What is your past medical history,' or if there's any family history of any type of malignancy or cancer, they do not know," said Dr. Olga Garcia-Bedoya,...
Danger Afoot: U.S. Pedestrian Deaths at Highest Level in...
22 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- More than 7,500 people were killed last year after being struck by vehicles while walking along or across U.S. roadways — the most pedestrian deaths in more than four decades, according to a new report.This sobering trend was not surprising to experts who track the numbers. But they were dismayed by the consistent increase — up 77% since 2010.“This is unacceptable. It's really mind-boggling. It hard to wrap your head around, at least it's hard for me to wrap my head, 20 deaths every single day,†said Adam Snider, a spokesman for the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), which reported state-by-state numbers this week.“And then when you think about how many people each single death affects: family members, neighbors, friends,...
Tough-to-Diagnose Hip Condition Caused Her 'Excruciating Pain' Until She Got a New Type of Surgery
22 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- New York-based physical therapist Brittany Garrett, now 33, was sidelined by excruciating hip pain for close to eight years before she got an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.She tried physical therapy to improve her flexibility, among other treatments, but nothing seemed to help. The former volleyball player’s pain was so intense that it was getting in the way of her career and her active lifestyle. “I have to be able to demonstrate exercises, do lunges, be on my feet, get on and off the floor and lift heavy things, and I couldn’t,†Garrett recalled.She eventually underwent imaging exams, including an MRI that showed she had femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), an underdiagnosed condition that occurs when abnormal growths at...
Census Shows America's Population Is Older Than Ever
22 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The median age of Americans hit a record high of nearly 39 in 2022, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.In 2000, the median age was 35, and in 1980 it was 30 -- meaning half of Americans were older, half younger. These findings add to the evidence that like many European and Asian countries, the United States is graying, reducing the workforce, and stressing economic and social programs.Low birth rates are the primary reason for the rising median age. "It’s simple arithmetic," Andrew Beveridge, president of Social Explorer, a demographic data firm, told the New York Times. "Fewer kids are being born."The trend is also affecting countries with stronger social programs than the United States, such as Norway, Sweden and Finland, which...

AHA News: Young Girl Who Endured Heart Defect and Stroke Is Now a Healthy Adult
22 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 22, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Seeing Shelby Lombardo's white blood cell counts periodically spike, her pediatrician thought the then-4-year-old had leukemia. But a test for the disease came back negative.Other doctors didn't know what was wrong with Lombardo. So, they sent her home with antibiotics without a definitive diagnosis.Lombardo's mother, Misty McDougal, knew something was at the root of the problems. Something was making Lombardo sick far too often. She took her daughter to another pediatrician in their Chattanooga, Tennessee, area.Listening to Lombardo's heart, the doctor said he heard a possible murmur. Thinking the child was just nervous, he told McDougal to bring her back in two weeks.The doctor detected the heart abnormality again at the...
