As Colleges Battle COVID Outbreaks, Fauci Warns Them Not to Send Students Home
THURSDAY, Sept. 3, 2020 (Healthday News) -- Colleges across America struggled to control coronavirus outbreaks on campus, even as Dr. Anthony Fauci warned on Wednesday that sending students home after an outbreak is "the worst thing you could do." Universities continue to be hit with alarming infection rates, and many have already switched to online learning, the Washington Post reported. In some instances, students have been told to move out of their dorms and return home, the newspaper said. But Fauci, the nation's top infectious diseases expert, told NBC's "Today" show that it was important to ensure that infected students are placed in isolation, "but don't have them go home, because they could be spreading it in their home state." Along with shutting down in-person...
Workplace Sexual Harassment Might Raise Suicide Risk: Study
2 September 2020
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 2, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- In the midst of the 'Me Too' movement, a new study finds that people sexually harassed at work may be at increased risk for attempted suicide and suicide. The findings out of Sweden show that workplace sexual harassment may "represent an important risk factor for suicidal behavior," said study author Linda Magnusson Hanson, an associate professor in the psychology department at Stockholm University, and colleagues. The research included more than 85,000 male and female workers in Sweden who completed a questionnaire between 1995 and 2013. It asked if they'd been sexually harassed at work in the past 12 months by either fellow workers, superiors or by what they termed "others," such as clients, passengers, students or patients. Overall,...
Experimental Drug Shows Promise Against ALS
2 September 2020
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 2, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental treatment may help slow the progression of the deadly brain disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a new study finds. Researchers called the results a promising step in the fight against a devastating and invariably fatal disease. And two advocacy groups are calling for swift action to make the drug available to patients. ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease in memory of the baseball legend who died from the disease. It's a progressive condition that kills nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Eventually, all muscles controlling voluntary movement become impaired, so that people lose their ability to move, talk, eat and breathe. Most people with ALS die of respiratory failure within three to five years of...
New Weight-Loss Program Shows Promise Among Low-Income...
2 September 2020
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 2, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Lifestyle interventions can help people lose weight, but experts have worried whether such programs can work in low-income communities where obesity rates can be high and access to health care can be limited. Until now. A new study found that when these programs are made accessible, meaningful weight loss can be achieved. The research team, led by Peter Katzmarzyk, from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, studied around 800 patients with obesity across Louisiana who were racially diverse and mostly low-income. Since most Americans have access to a clinic or physician for primary care, the researchers looked at whether primary care facilities that treat low-income patients could implement an effective weight-loss...
CDC Alerts Nation to Prepare for Coronavirus Vaccine by Early November
2 September 2020
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 2, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is telling the nation to prepare for distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine this fall. The CDC has notified public health officials across all 50 states that limited vaccine doses might be available by late October, and that they should prepare now as to how the vaccine will be routed to health care workers and other high-risk groups, according to documents obtained by The New York Times. The documents outline detailed scenarios for distributing two unnamed vaccines -- "Vaccine A" and "Vaccine B" -- if either or both candidates demonstrate sufficient effectiveness and safety to warrant an emergency use authorization (EUA) from the CDC before clinical trials are fully completed. Infectious...
Each Day Sober Slowly Helps Alcoholics' Brains Recover
2 September 2020
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 2, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- A new brain scan study shows why the "one day at a time" approach works for recovering alcoholics. "For people with AUD [alcohol use disorder], the brain takes a long time to normalize, and each day is going to be a struggle," explained senior study author Rajita Sinha, a professor of psychiatry and neuroscience at Yale University's Child Study Center. "For these people, it really is 'one day at a time.'" For the study, Sinha's team looked at people diagnosed with alcohol use disorder who had imaging scans of their brains taken one day to two weeks after their last drink. The more recently they'd had their last drink, the greater the disruption in activity between the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and striatum, a brain network associated...
Gun Violence Costs U.S. Health Care System $170 Billion Annually
2 September 2020
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 2, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- A rise in gun violence and a resulting increase in severe injury demand urgent action to curb these trends and lower the high cost of saving victims' lives, researchers say. "We hope that our findings are able to better inform policy in terms of violence prevention as well as reimbursement to hospitals, which are often in underserved regions, that care for these patients," said Dr. Peyman Benharash, an associate professor-in-residence of surgery and bioengineering at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles. Gun violence has an annual cost to the U.S. health care system of $170 billion -- $16 billion for operations alone. For the study, researchers used nationwide data on hospital admissions for...
Hot Asphalt Releases a Lot of Pollution Into the Air
2 September 2020
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 2, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Asphalt baking in the summer sunshine is no fun for tender feet, but a new study suggests it's not doing your lungs any favors either. As it heats up, asphalt releases chemical compounds that contribute to air pollution. And its emissions double as its temperature increases from 104 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, researchers found. Sunlight plays a key role in these asphalt emissions, with even moderate levels of sunshine tripling the release of air pollutants, according to the study published Sept. 2 in the journal Science Advances. The problem is likely to only grow worse as global warming increases, said lead researcher Drew Gentner, an associate professor of chemical and environmental engineering at the Yale School of Engineering and...
