Stray Cats Shed Toxoplasmosis Parasites in Cities, Especially in Warm Weather
THURSDAY, June 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Wild and feral cats appear to release more toxoplasmosis parasites in places densely populated with people, new research suggests. These cats also "shed" more when the temperature is warmer, a significant finding given climate change, according to the report published online June 21 in PLOS ONE.Policymakers could help protect humans from this illness by better managing these stray cat populations, the researchers said.“Changes from climate or human activities can affect disease transmission in ways that we don't fully understand yet," said study author Sophie Zhu, of the University of California, Davis, and colleagues. "In our study, we can see how these factors may be associated with changes in Toxoplasma shedding by cats, which in turn...
Diet Heavy in Omega-3s Might Help Slow ALS
22 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Consuming omega-3 fatty acids like flaxseed oil and walnuts may help slow the decline in physical function related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), new research suggests.ALS (formerly known as Lou Gehrig's disease) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. People with ALS lose the ability to initiate and control muscle movement over time. The average life span after diagnosis is two to five years. A slower decline in symptoms may also slightly extend survival for people with ALS, the researchers noted. The new study findings were published online June 21 in the journal Neurology.“The link our study found between diet and ALS is intriguing and suggests, but does not prove, that...
Space Travel Might Weaken Immune System
22 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Space travel appears to weaken astronauts’ immune systems, and researchers believe changes in gene expression are the culprit.These immune deficits aren’t permanent. They disappear when back on Earth, often within weeks, according to new research published June 22 in Frontiers in Immunology. “Here we show that the expression of many genes related to immune functions rapidly decreases when astronauts reach space," said study lead author Dr. Odette Laneuville, an associate professor of biology at the University of Ottawa in Canada."The opposite happens when they return to Earth after six months aboard the ISS [International Space Station],†Laneuville added in a journal news release.Astronauts seem more susceptible to infections in...
Social Lives Can Thrive in Walk-Friendly Neighborhoods
22 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Living in a walkable neighborhood fosters socialization and helps create a strong sense of community, new research shows. Among the active behaviors these walkable neighborhoods promote are walking for leisure or as transportation to school, work shopping or home.“Our built environments create or deny long-lasting opportunities for socialization, physical activity, contact with nature and other experiences that affect public health,†said senior study author James Sallis, a professor at the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health at the University of California, San Diego.“Transportation and land use policies across the U.S. have strongly prioritized car travel and suburban development, so millions of Americans live in neighborhoods...
Screening Newborns for 'Bubble Boy' Immune Disease Saves Lives
22 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Screening newborns for severe combined immunodeficiency -- SCID, sometimes referred to as "bubble boy disease" -- significantly increases survival rates, researchers say.Infants with SCID appear healthy at birth, but have no immune defenses, making them highly susceptible to severe and often fatal infections. The 1976 TV movie “The Boy in the Plastic Bubble" promoted awareness of the rare disorder.Identifying and treating SCID before the infections can occur can be lifesaving, according to the new study.Researchers found that widespread screening increased the five-year survival rate of children with the disorder from 73% to 87%. Among children who had SCID diagnosed early because of the screening, and not because of illness or family...
What Are Back Spasms, and Can They Be Treated?
21 June 2023
WEDNESDAY, June 21, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- "Oh, my aching back!" Everyone has uttered these words at some point, in response to the sharp, sudden pain that comes with back spasms.This article will explore the causes of back spasms, their symptoms and, most importantly, effective treatments. Whether you're experiencing your first spasm or seeking ways to prevent future episodes, understanding the triggers and what to do is key.What is a back spasm?According to the Cleveland Clinic, back spasms can range from tiny twinges to crippling contractions that leave you unable to move. They occur when the muscles in your back contract involuntarily and intensely. The sensation can vary widely from person to person. For some, it may come on as a mild, dull ache or an occasional twitch; for...
Is Alzheimer's Disease Genetic?
21 June 2023
WEDNESDAY, June 21, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Alzheimer's disease is a devastating diagnosis, and if a close relative has had it you may worry whether you will be next.According to the National Institutes of Health, it is estimated that over 6 million Americans over 65 suffer from Alzheimer’s. Since this is primarily a disease that comes with age, those numbers are expected to go up as the population ages.For those who have family members with this disease, there is the ultimate question, “Is Alzheimer’s disease hereditary?†But there are others: How does Alzheimer’s develop? Are there things I can do to lower my risk? Here, experts address these questions.Is Alzheimer’s genetic?Since Alzheimer’s disease is most common in those in their late 70s and 80s, age is the...
Could Loss of the Y Chromosome Help Speed Cancers in Men?
21 June 2023
WEDNESDAY, June 21, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It’s common knowledge that loss is a part of male aging — loss of hair, loss of muscle tone, loss of vision or hearing.But men growing older also start losing the very thing that makes them biological males, their Y chromosome, and that can leave them more vulnerable to cancer, a new study says.The loss of the Y chromosome can help cancer cells evade detection by the body’s immune system, according to researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, in Los Angeles.Specifically, it results in more aggressive bladder cancer among men, the study authors reported June 21 in the journal Nature.“This study for the first time makes a connection that has never been made before between loss of the Y chromosome and the immune system’s response...
