Is Supplement Berberine Really 'Nature's Ozempic'? Experts Weigh Pros & Cons
FRIDAY, June 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The herbal supplement berberine has become the latest social-media obsession for weight-loss, with some on TikTok calling it “nature’s Ozempic.â€Experts don't agree.“I would say it’s a big exaggeration to call it ‘nature’s Ozempic,’†said Dr. Melinda Ring, executive director of the Osher Center for Integrative Health at Northwestern University, in Chicago.But berberine has been associated with a variety of health benefits, including modest weight loss, lower cholesterol and improved blood sugar levels, she said.Ring said she “wouldn’t swap one for the other†if someone is already prescribed a medication for any of these conditions.Berberine also has its drawbacks. It can cause potentially dangerous interactions if used...
Pfizer Warns of Looming Shortage of Long-Acting...
16 June 2023
FRIDAY, June 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Pfizer Inc. warned doctors this week of an impending shortage of Bicillin, its long-acting, injectable form of penicillin.The medication is not commonly used for children because alternatives such as amoxicillin are preferred over the Bicillin shot, the company explained in a statement. So, while production issues are ongoing, Pfizer plans to prioritize the medication for adults, for whom Bicillin is recommended for treating syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease.Syphilis rates have been increasing, up by more than 30% in 2021, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.All of this means that although Bicillin for adults may be in short supply, it’s not expected to be unavailable. However, the pediatric version of the...
Why Exercise Is Often a Challenge for Folks With Type 1...
16 June 2023
FRIDAY, June 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It can be challenging for people with type 1 diabetes to exercise safely while controlling their blood sugar.People with the condition often struggle with this balance, according to a new study based on a survey conducted through social media groups restricted to adults with type 1 diabetes who run, jog or walk for exercise. The survey findings were presented Thursday at a meeting of the Endocrine Society, in Chicago. “Managing high and low blood sugar levels before, during and after aerobic exercise remains one of the greatest challenges for people living with type 1 diabetes,†said lead researcher Dr. Joseph Henske, an endocrinologist at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock. “This study provides a number of key...
Dog Bites More Common on Hot, Hazy Days
16 June 2023
FRIDAY, June 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Just like their humans, dogs get cranky when temperatures and air pollution levels surge.Heat and air pollution have previously been linked to human aggression. Now, researchers say it also appears that there are more dog bites on hot, polluted days.More research is needed to confirm these findings, according to study author Tanujit Dey, of the department of surgery at the Center for Surgery and Public Health at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in Boston, and colleagues.For the new study, the investigators used dog bite data from 2009 to 2018 in eight U.S. cities: Dallas, Houston, Baltimore, Baton Rouge, Chicago, Louisville, Los Angeles and New York City.The data included more than 69,000 reported dog bites, an average of three per day over 10...
Black Patients Face Greater Risks From Leg Artery Blockages
16 June 2023
FRIDAY, June 16, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new study has unearthed significant racial disparities in both treatment and outcomes for peripheral artery disease (PAD). Black patients with this condition, where plaque builds up in the arteries of the legs, were more likely to have a stroke, heart attack or amputation than white patients, according to researchers from Keck Medicine at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Black patients were also 50% less likely than white patients to get vascular interventions that could make a big difference in outcomes.“We discovered that Black patients are nearly 50% less likely to receive vascular interventions to potentially restore the blood flow than white patients, and consequently are at a disproportionately higher risk of a...
Are You Living in One of America’s Most Depressed States?
15 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- For the first time, researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have broken down statistics on depression among Americans, pinpointing which states the debilitating illness is most likely to strike.Adjusted for age, 18.5% of all American adults included in the new analysis said they’d been diagnosed with depression at least once in their lifetime.But incidence varied widely by state, from a low of 12.7% in Hawaii to more than double that (27.5%) in West Virginia, according to a team led by Benjamin Lee. He's with the CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.The new findings should “help guide state- and local-level efforts to prevent, treat and manage depression,†depending on...
Fasting Later in Day Might Be Key to Controlling Blood Sugar: Study
15 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Intermittent fasting is all the rage due to the lengthy list of health benefits associated with this style of eating. Now, a new, small study suggests that one type of intermittent fasting — early time-restricted eating — may be key for preventing type 2 diabetes in people who are at high risk for the blood sugar disease.The study included 10 people with prediabetes and obesity. Prediabetes refers to when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be defined as diabetes. Obesity is also considered a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes.Folks in the study ate 80% of their daily calories before 1 p.m (early time-restricted feeding) or half of their calories after 4 p.m (usual eating) for one week, and then they...
First Synthetic Human Embryo Models Created in Lab
15 June 2023
THURSDAY, June 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists say they have created the first synthetic human embryo models, not actual human embryos but models meant to simulate and better understand early human development.These embryo-like structures were created from single human embryonic stem cells, without eggs and sperm, by scientists in the United States and United Kingdom, CNN reported. Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, a professor of biology and biological engineering at California Institute of Technology and the University of Cambridge in England, told CNN that the cells were coaxed to develop into three distinct tissue layers. They are the first to have germ cells that would go on to develop into egg and sperm, but they do not have all the features of a human embryo, Zernicka-Goetz...
