AHA News: Persistent Depression Might Increase Heart Disease Risk for Women With HIV
MONDAY, June 22, 2020 (American Heart Association News) -- Women with HIV who experience persistently high levels of stress or depression have a significantly greater risk of plaque building up in their arteries than those who rarely or never report these symptoms, a new study finds. The study, published Monday in the Journal of the American Heart Association, analyzed previously collected data for 700 women with and without HIV who did not have coronary heart disease. The data, collected from 2004-2012, came from a sub-study of the Women's Interagency HIV study. The new analysis found that more than twice as many women with HIV who reported high levels of stress and depression had plaque in the arteries, compared to those who reported lower levels. New plaque continued to build up as...
Inhaled Remdesivir May Allow COVID-19 Patients to Be...
22 June 2020
MONDAY, June 22, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- An inhaled version of the antiviral drug remdesivir will soon be tested outside a hospital setting, Gilead Sciences announced Monday. Remdesivir, which is made by Gilead, is now being used to treat COVID-19 patients worldwide. Currently, the drug has to be given intravenously through daily infusions in the hospital. "An inhaled formulation would be given through a nebulizer, which could potentially allow for easier administration outside the hospital, at earlier stages of disease," Gilead chairman and CEO Daniel O'Day said in a company news release. "That could have significant implications in helping to stem the tide of the pandemic," he added. Screening will start this week for healthy volunteers to take part in Phase 1 trials of inhaled...
Heart Surgery Leads to Long-Term Opioid Use for Some
22 June 2020
MONDAY, June 22, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- About one in 10 heart surgery patients who is prescribed an opioid painkiller after the procedure still uses the drugs more than 90 days later, a new study finds. And those prescribed the highest doses are most likely to be long-term users of opioids, researchers say. "Our findings support a much-needed shift toward decreasing opioid dosages at discharge and using alternative approaches to reduce the risk for persistent opioid use," study lead author Dr. Chase Brown said in a University of Pennsylvania news release. He's a cardiovascular surgery resident and research fellow at the university's Perelman School of Medicine. Overprescribing of opioids -- including oxycodone, codeine, tramadol and morphine -- can increase the risk of opioid...
Another COVID Plague: Big Surprise Medical Bills for...
22 June 2020
MONDAY, June 22, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Seattle resident Michael Flor's heart nearly stopped when he received a $1.1 million dollar hospital bill for months of COVID-19 treatment. The 181-page bill listed nearly 3,000 itemized charges -- and didn't include other items likely to make Flor's bill even higher, the 70-year-old told Time. But one fact provided Flor some solace: Kaiser Permanente, the health care company through which he receives his Medicare and Medicare Advantage coverage, has announced it will wave most out-of-pocket costs related to COVID treatment. That's not going to be the case for a lot of folks who receive similarly high bills, a new study warns. More than 250,000 people have been hospitalized for COVID infection in the United States, according to background...
Citing Lack of Benefit, NIH Halts Trial of Hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19
22 June 2020
MONDAY, June 22, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. National Institutes of Heath announced Saturday that it was stopping a clinical trial of hydroxychloroquine, a drug long supported by President Donald Trump as a possible panacea for COVID-19. "A data and safety monitoring board met late Friday and determined that while there was no harm, the study drug was very unlikely to be beneficial to hospitalized patients with COVID-19," the NIH said in a news release. As the agency noted, hydroxychloroquine is a malaria drug that does have antiviral activity. Early in the novel coronavirus pandemic, Trump hailed the drug as a "game-changer" in preventing or treating COVID-19, but large trials quickly began to dispel any hopes it might do so. Still, Trump told reporters that he actually took...
Brazil, United States Fuel Biggest One-Day Jump in Coronavirus Cases Worldwide
22 June 2020
MONDAY, June 22, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The World Health Organization recorded the largest single-day worldwide increase in coronavirus cases on Sunday, with Brazil and the United States logging the biggest jumps in infections. More than 183,000 new cases were reported around the globe in the past 24 hours, with Brazil's daily tally hitting 54,771 and the United States following closely behind with 36,617 new cases, CBS News reported. More than two-thirds of new COVID-19 deaths were reported in the Americas, the network reported. Experts say rising case counts reflect both more testing, as well as the spread of new infections. In the United States, the resurgence in infections isn't a "second wave," but instead a continuation of the first wave of outbreaks, they noted. "When you...
Asthma More Likely in Kids With Disabilities, Delays
19 June 2020
FRIDAY, June 19, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Children with developmental disabilities or delays have an increased risk of asthma, a new study finds. "This research has shown that it's not just clinicians or pediatricians that should be aware that children with disabilities and delays may also have other health problems. It's also schools, after-school programs and other community-wide programs," said study senior author Sarah Messiah. She's a professor of epidemiology, human genetics and environmental sciences at UTHealth School of Public Health in Dallas. "It's equally important to understand these children may not always be able to communicate their discomfort, especially when it comes to asthma," Messiah added in a university news release. For the study, the researchers analyzed...
Coronavirus Doesn't Favor Crowded Cities, Study Shows
19 June 2020
FRIDAY, June 19, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Densely populated areas of the United States don't have higher rates of COVID-19 infection and death than less-congested areas, according to a new study. The findings counter the conventional wisdom that the new coronavirus spreads more easily in cities and other densely populated areas. "The fact that density is unrelated to confirmed virus infection rates and inversely related to confirmed COVID-19 death rates is important, unexpected, and profound," said lead author Shima Hamidi. She's an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. For the study, Hamidi and her team analyzed COVID-19 infection and death rates in 913 metropolitan counties nationwide. While density was not significantly...
