AHA News: Instead of a Tie, Think About Healthy Gifts and Gratitude for Father's Day
WEDNESDAY, June 10, 2020 (American Heart Association News) -- In this year of social distancing and economic uncertainty, dad probably doesn't need a new tie for Father's Day. Instead, it might be time to mark the occasion with creativity – and a little push in a healthy direction. "A lot of old guys like us need a gentle push from time to time," said Dr. Elliot Davidson, medical director of the Cleveland Clinic Akron General Center for Family Medicine in Ohio. "Sometimes a gift can do that." Adam Busuttil, founder and host of The Dad Experience podcast and father of two young daughters, is more inclined toward events and experiences than the suggestions he sees on TV. "Most of the stuff marketed towards dad is about beer drinking and barbecuing," he said. "It's OK to break the...
Smoking a Big Stroke Risk for Blacks
10 June 2020
WEDNESDAY, June 10, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Smoking carries a host of health risks, and now a new study shows the habit significantly increases black Americans' risk of stroke. The research included more than 5,300 participants, aged 21 to 84, from the tri-county area around Jackson, Miss. In the final analysis, 546 were current smokers, 781 were past smokers, and 3,083 never smoked. The participants were part of the Jackson Heart Study, a large study of heart disease risk factors among black Americans. They underwent initial assessments between 2000 and 2004 and were followed until 2013. During the follow-up period, 183 participants suffered strokes. Stroke risk was 2.5 times higher among current smokers than in those who never smoked. There was no significant difference between...
Pandemic Is Changing Your Next Doc Appointment
10 June 2020
WEDNESDAY, June 10, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- In response to the coronavirus pandemic, many doctors' offices and clinics have made changes to protect patients, care providers and staff. As an example, here's what's being done at Penn State Health. "When our patients first call to schedule an appointment at any of our offices, outpatient clinics or centers, they'll be screened for COVID-19," said Dr. Matthew Silvis. He's vice chair of clinical operations in the family and community medicine department at the Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Penn. "This means being asked questions about their possible risk factors of having the coronavirus," and possibly being asked for additional information over the phone to reduce the amount of paperwork needed at the time of the visit, Silvis...
Nine U.S. States Seeing Spikes in COVID-19 Hospitalizations
10 June 2020
WEDNESDAY, June 10, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- In another troubling sign that the spread of coronavirus might be accelerating, new U.S. data shows hospitalizations in at least nine states have been on the rise since Memorial Day. In Texas, North and South Carolina, California, Oregon, Arkansas, Mississippi, Utah and Arizona, increasing numbers of COVID-19 patients are showing up at hospitals, the Washington Post reported Wednesday. For example, Texas has reported two consecutive days of record-breaking coronavirus hospitalizations. The state, which was one of the first to reopen, has seen a 36 percent increase in new cases since the end of May, with a record 2,056 hospitalizations recorded by Tuesday afternoon, the Post reported. The hospitalization data challenges the notion that the...
Women Still Left Out of Much Medical Research
9 June 2020
TUESDAY, June 9, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Your sex matters when it comes to your health, yet women may still be an afterthought in research studies. Despite policies and grant requirements to include females in research studies, many researchers still don't analyze their data by sex, a new study found. If researchers don't look at their results by sex, it's impossible to know if diseases, drugs or vaccines might impact each sex differently. "Sex influences health and disease in multiple organ systems. It's not just related to the reproductive tract. By not considering by sex in research, it's a harm to women's health," said study author Nicole Woitowich. "We need this information. Right now, we're trying to put a puzzle together and we don't have all the pieces. By including both...
Black Melanoma Patients Face Treatment Delays: Study
9 June 2020
TUESDAY, June 9, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Black Americans with melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, wait longer for surgery than white patients, a new study finds. "We already knew that black patients with melanoma have a worse prognosis and that longer time to treatment is associated with worse survival, but we didn't fully understand the relationship between race and time to treatment after controlling for various other factors," said study first author Raghav Tripathi, from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland. He and his colleagues analyzed data gathered from nearly 234,000 U.S. melanoma patients between 2004 and 2015. Of those, just over 1,200 (0.52%) were black. The rate of melanoma is relatively low in blacks. The time from diagnosis to...
Navy Ship Outbreak Shows Most Young Aren't Spared COVID Symptoms
9 June 2020
TUESDAY, June 9, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- When COVID-19 strikes the young, the lion's share of patients still show symptoms, a new report on a coronavirus outbreak aboard a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier suggests. In late March, the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt arrived in Guam after numerous sailors on the ship developed COVID-19. In April, the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigated the outbreak by checking the lab findings for 382 service members on the carrier. In the outbreak, there was widespread transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) among young, healthy adults living in close quarters who mostly showed mild symptoms, the researchers reported June 9 in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a CDC publication. Social...
Worried About Catching Coronavirus From Surfaces? The City You Live in May Matter
9 June 2020
TUESDAY, June 9, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- When someone infected with the new coronavirus talks, coughs or sneezes, tiny droplets containing virus land on surfaces nearby. If touched by someone else, those contaminated surfaces are a means of COVID-19 transmission. But new research shows that surface-based infections are far more likely in some cities than others. Climate is the key, according to researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, in Mumbai, India. They discovered that in cities with cooler but more humid weather, viral-laden droplets on surfaces linger longer before drying out, greatly upping the odds that the virus within them stays alive and contagious. "The likelihood of the survival of the virus increases roughly by 5 times in a humid ambient as compared...
