What Is Gastritis and How Is It Treated?
19 June 2023
MONDAY, June 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- You're feeling bloated, nauseous and in pain. What is wrong?It may be gastritis, an inflammation of the stomach lining that can come on suddenly or gradually. It can also lead to other problems, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Here, experts explore gastritis, its causes, risk factors, symptoms, types and treatments, including dietary changes that may be helpful.Gastritis causesGastritis occurs when something causes a weakness or damage to the mucous-lined barrier that protects the stomach wall. According to the Mayo Clinic, this allows digestive juices to damage and inflame the stomach lining. There are several diseases and conditions that can increase your risk for gastritis, including inflammatory conditions such as Crohn’s...

Almost 10 Million Americans Have Diabetes-Linked Eye Disease
19 June 2023
MONDAY, June 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Nearly 10 million Americans are at risk for blindness from diabetic retinopathy, a new study finds.In 2021, an estimated 9.6 million people in the United States — 26% of those with diabetes — had the eye illness and nearly 2 million had the most severe form, "vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy" (VTDR), researchers say. That's 5% of those with diabetes."This finding illustrates the burden of this potentially vision-threatening complication of diabetes," said researcher David Rein, a senior fellow and director of the Public Health Analytics Program at NORC at the University of Chicago."This finding is driven primarily by the large increase in diabetes in the United States that has occurred over the last 20 years, and underscores the...
Study of Former NFL Players Shows Race Differences in Chronic Pain
19 June 2023
MONDAY, June 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A pro football career can mean chronic pain after retirement, but Black players are especially hard-hit, a new study finds.The study, of nearly 4,000 former National Football League (NFL) players, found that Black men reported more intense, more debilitating pain than their white counterparts. They were also more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety or fatigue -- and those problems were often related to their pain levels.Researchers said the findings speak to a larger, well-documented issue: Black Americans are more affected by chronic pain, and less likely to have it effectively treated, than white people.And it appears those disparities are not erased by the status and resources that can come with being a professional athlete."I do think...
Using 'Grey's Anatomy' to Warn Teens Away From Vaping
19 June 2023
MONDAY, June 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Could popular TV medical dramas jump-start a discussion about vaping among teens and almost teens?A recent experiment using clips from "Grey’s Anatomy,†“New Amsterdam†and “Chicago Med†suggests the answer is yes. Watching the clips appeared to help kids open up and talk about the health impacts of using electronic cigarettes.Along the way, researchers learned more about the terminology kids do and don’t understand when it comes to e-cigarettes, and how they feel about being targets of marketing.“I'm not necessarily surprised that students found TV clips more engaging than having an adult stand in front of the room and talk to them about the dangers of substance use,†said study leader Beth Hoffman, a postdoctoral associate...
This Summer, Know Your Risk for Insect Sting Allergy
19 June 2023
MONDAY, June 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- If you're dreaming of the perfect summer vacation, one element certain to be excluded from that scenario would be an allergic reaction to a stinging insect. Whether you’re planning to travel within the United States or to a foreign locale, you’ll need to take precautions against stinging insects, especially if you’ve had an allergic reaction to a sting in the past.According to a recent article in Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the scientific journal of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, between 56% and 94% of people are stung in their lifetime. Of those, about 3% involve an allergic reaction. The article examines types of stinging insects, circumstances under which a sting is likely to take place,...
Is Child's Tummy Pain a Serious Concern? Poll Finds Many Parents Unsure
19 June 2023
MONDAY, June 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Kids get a lot of tummy aches. How a parent responds to it can vary, just as the causes can, according to the University of Michigan Health's C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health, which looked more closely at the issue. About 1 in 6 parents said their child has tummy pain at least monthly, according to the poll, but many don’t call the doctor. One-third of the parents said that they were very confident they could identify whether the belly pain was serious. “Tummy complaints are common among children. This type of pain may be a symptom for a range of health issues, but it can be difficult to know if it’s transient or a cause for concern,†said poll co-director and pediatrician Dr. Susan Woolford. “Our...
