Hormonal Therapies Boost Mental Health of Transgender People, and Few Stop Treatment
TUESDAY, June 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- In the face of an ongoing and widespread legal assault on transgender rights — one that threatens to cut off access to critical aspects of trans health care — a pair of new studies suggest that gender-affirming medical care is a lifesaving treatment for those who need it.One study finds that when trans men get immediate access to hormone/testosterone therapy as part of a gender-affirming treatment plan, their mental health improves markedly. Another finds that when trans teens embark on hormone therapy they rarely, if ever, regret their decision.“Gender-affirming hormone therapy is hormone treatment to align physical characteristics — such as facial hair, changes to muscle mass or body fat — with an individual’s gender identity,â€...
AHA News: Beat the Heat With Hydrating Foods This Summer
20 June 2023
TUESDAY, June 20, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Staying hydrated can help you live a longer, healthier life. But drinking multiple glasses of water throughout the day isn't for everyone.Health experts say that's OK. While fluids are important, hydration doesn't just come in a bottle or from the tap. In fact, at least 19% of a U.S. adult's water intake typically comes from water-rich foods. And they're not hard to find."A lot of foods are high in water content, especially fruits and vegetables," said Penny Kris-Etherton, Evan Pugh University Professor of Nutritional Sciences at Penn State University in University Park, Pennsylvania. "Eating these foods is a way of helping to maintain good hydration status."Though it has no calories, water plays a vital role in keeping people...
New High-Tech CT Might Expand Heart Imaging
20 June 2023
TUESDAY, June 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The benefits of noninvasive imaging may soon be available to patients at high risk of coronary artery disease, according to researchers studying a newer technology.That technology is called ultra-high-resolution coronary CT angiography.Currently, patients have coronary CT angiography (CCTA), which is highly effective for ruling out coronary artery disease when it’s used in patients who are at low or intermediate risk for the disease.But those at high risk tend to have a high prevalence of coronary calcifications and stents. These coronary calcifications can “bloom†on CCTA, appearing more extensive than they are. That leads to overestimating blockages and plaque and too many false-positive results, researchers reported in the June 20...
What Causes Alzheimer's? Genes, Environment & Lifestyle...
20 June 2023
TUESDAY, June 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Learning that your loved one has Alzheimer’s disease can be frightening and leave you feeling lost and unsure.To help you better understand the condition and what you can do to manage it, experts detail what causes Alzheimer’s disease. In this guide, you’ll learn about the genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that scientists think may interact to contribute to the development of this memory-robbing disease.What causes Alzheimer’s? According to the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and Cleveland Clinic, Alzheimer’s disease involves brain changes that include:The buildup of protein plaques called amyloids in brain cellsThe development of tangled fibers called tau (or neurofibrillary tangles)The slow death of nerve cells due to...
Tick Talk: Know Your Risks This Summer
20 June 2023
TUESDAY, June 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Ticks can be a problem for people who love to spend the summer outdoors, especially in certain regions of the United States. Ticks are responsible for the well-known Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses, said Dr. David Ingram, an infectious diseases physician and researcher at Penn State Health Medical Center.He's also a father of young children who calls himself the tick police. Here, he shares some helpful information:To pass the harmful bacteria that causes Lyme disease, a blacklegged tick must be attached to the victim for about 24 to 48 hours. For another tickborne disease called anaplasmosis, it’s around 24 to 36 hours. For babesiosis, it’s about 48 to 72 hours. Anyone who knows they’ve had a tick attached for 36 hours or...
Cutbacks on Opioids Around Surgery May Do More Harm Than Good
20 June 2023
TUESDAY, June 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Many doctors have stopped giving opioids for pain, even during surgery, because of the opioid addiction crisis in the United States. But a new study questions the wisdom of this approach.Restricting the drugs during surgery may do more harm than good, researchers report.“The opioid crisis is a major motivator for mitigating the risks of opioid usage,†said study co-author Dr. Laura Santa Cruz Mercado, who was a research fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) at the time of the study. “But appropriate opioid administration in the operating room may reduce total opioid usage after surgery," she added in a hospital news release.She and her colleagues analyzed information on more than 61,000 adults who had surgery at MGH between 2016...
Know Your Blood Pressure Numbers and What They Mean
20 June 2023
TUESDAY, June 20, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- You could have high blood pressure and not realize it. The only way to know for sure is to have your blood pressure tested. It’s an important step, according to the American Heart Association (AHA), and so is understanding your results so you can keep your blood pressure under control.A diagnosis of high blood pressure -- and any unusually low blood pressure readings - must be made by a health care professional.Blood pressure readings have two numbers. Systolic blood pressure is the upper number and tells you how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls when the heart contracts. The diastolic blood pressure is the lower number and it reveals the pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls while the heart...
