Can Heavy Drinkers Really 'Hold their Liquor'? Study Shows Maybe Not
MONDAY, June 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Heavy drinkers might think they can “hold their liquor†better, but science doesn't back them up.A new University of Chicago study found that people with alcohol use disorder were still impaired after heavy drinking, even if they thought they had greater tolerance.Although they may be able to tolerate a certain amount of alcohol better than light or moderate drinkers, the reality is more nuanced, researchers found.“There's a lot of thinking that when experienced drinkers consume alcohol, they are tolerant to its impairing effects,†said senior study author Andrea King, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience. “We supported that a bit, but with a lot of nuances. When they drank alcohol in our study at a dose similar to...

17 June 2023
SATURDAY, June 17, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Heat illness can be deadly, so it’s essential to recognize the warning signs and know what to do as the summer season gets into gear.“Heat illness tends to happen when the body is unable to regulate its temperature due to overexertion or extended periods of time in high temperatures,†said Dr. Maria Carmenza Mejia, an associate professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. “Conditions can range from mild discomfort to life threatening," she said in a college news release.Meija offered some information about heat illness and tips for avoiding or treating it.The first sign of heat illness tends to be cramps and spasms due to dehydration or an electrolyte imbalance.

Gas Stove Chemical Tied to Higher Risk of Leukemia
16 June 2023
FRIDAY, June 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Using gas stoves can increase indoor air levels of benzene, a chemical linked to higher risk of leukemia and other blood cell cancers, a new study reports.Analysis of dozens of stoves revealed that a single gas cooktop burner on high or a gas oven set to 350 degrees Fahrenheit can raise indoor levels of benzene above those typically released by secondhand tobacco smoke, the researchers reported.Benzene emitted by gas stoves also can drift throughout a home and linger for hours, according to the study published June 15 in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.More than one-third of U.S. households, some 47 million homes, cook with gas, researchers said in background notes.“Benzene forms in flames and other high-temperature...

Testosterone Therapy Safe for Low-T Men at Risk of Heart Trouble
16 June 2023
FRIDAY, June 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Testosterone replacement therapy is safe for most men with heart problems who also have been diagnosed with a low testosterone disorder, a new clinical trial has concluded.The trial found that testosterone replacement did not raise these patients' incidence of heart attack, stroke or heart-related death in a group of men with both heart problems and hypogonadism -- a condition in which low testosterone levels have led to specific health problems.“For men with heart disease or at risk for heart disease, taking testosterone -- when given in appropriate doses and carefully monitored -- did not increase the risk of heart-related events like heart attack, stroke or death from heart-related causes,†said senior researcher Dr. Steve Nissen, chair...
