Very Early-Stage Breast Cancer Ups Long-Term Odds for Invasive Tumors: Study
FRIDAY, May 29, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Women with cancerous cells in their milk ducts -- also known as DCIS -- are at a high risk for developing fatal breast cancer, British researchers report. DCIS is short for ductal carcinoma in situ, an early form of breast cancer. With stepped-up breast screening, it has become an increasingly common diagnosis. Though it's not immediately life-threatening, DCIS more than doubles a woman's risk of developing an invasive breast cancer and dying from it, according to a large study of tens of thousands of women in the United Kingdom. And the increased risk can persist 20 years or more -- longer than previously thought. But surveillance of women after a DCIS diagnosis typically focuses on the first few years, according to lead author Gurdeep...
High-Potency Pot Tied to Big Rise in Psychiatric Issues
29 May 2020
FRIDAY, May 29, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Marijuana has long been linked to a host of mental health risks, but the potent strains sold today may amplify those dangers, new research suggests. "We know that people who use cannabis are more likely to report mental health problems than those who don't use cannabis, but we don't fully understand how recent increases in the strength and potency of cannabis affects this," explained study author Lindsey Hines, a senior research associate from the University of Bristol Medical School in England. For the study, researchers examined data from a large, ongoing British study and focused on more than 1,000 people who were born in the early 1990s and reported recent pot use when they were 24. The scientists were also able to track which participants...
Prostate Cancer Drug Could Be 'Game Changing,'...
29 May 2020
FRIDAY, May 29, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- For men with advanced prostate cancer, a new hormone therapy pill works better than standard injections -- and carries a much lower risk of heart attack or stroke, a clinical trial has found. The drug, called relugolix, is not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. If it gets the green light, however, it would be "game-changing," said Dr. Neal Shore, lead researcher on the trial. Hormone therapy has long been a standard treatment for advanced prostate cancer -- including cases where the tumor has spread beyond the prostate gland or recurred after treatment with surgery or radiation. The goal is to suppress androgen hormones, including testosterone, because they fuel the growth of prostate tumors. Right now, that's usually...
AHA News: Inherited High Cholesterol May Be Common in...
29 May 2020
FRIDAY, May 29, 2020 (American Heart Association News) -- An inherited disorder that causes high cholesterol early in life appears to affect about 25 million people worldwide, but it is especially common among people with cardiovascular disease, new research suggests. The findings, published Friday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, "make a strong case" for screening programs to identify familial hypercholesterolemia early, said the study's senior author Dr. Antonio J. Vallejo-Vaz, a clinical research fellow at the Imperial College London. The global analysis of dozens of studies that included millions from Europe, the United States and elsewhere revealed 1 in 311 people in the general population have FH. "This paper really verifies the number of people who have...
DVT Clots Strike Many Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients: Study
29 May 2020
FRIDAY, May 29, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- In a small French study, three-quarters of all COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care went on to experience a dangerous blood clot in the leg that can travel to the lungs and potentially cause death. Known as a DVT, the condition first gained notoriety as so-called "economy class syndrome," when passengers on long-haul flights developed them after sitting still for too long. But the clots can be life-threatening, and the frequency at which they are showing up in COVID-19 patients is cause for alarm, experts say. The new findings "were quite astonishing," said Dr. Maja Zaric, a U.S. cardiologist who wasn't connected to the French study. "Sixty-five percent of all admitted patients had evidence of lower extremity DVT upon admission, and...
Your Eyewear and COVID-19 Safety
29 May 2020
FRIDAY, May 29, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Coronavirus-related safety is crucial if you wear contact lenses, eyeglasses or safety glasses/goggles, experts say. While the American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends limiting use of contact lenses and switching to eyeglasses during the pandemic, the American Optometric Association says there's no evidence that wearing contacts increases COVID-19 risk. "With proper hand-washing prior to inserting and removing lenses, proper cleaning of lenses, and making sure you are never touching your eyes throughout the day, it is reasonable to wear contact lenses safely," said Danielle Natale, an optometrist at LifeBridge Health Krieger Eye Institute in Baltimore. If you develop cold- or flu-like symptoms, however, stop wearing contact lenses,...
Pandemic Having More Impact on U.S. Hospitals Than Thought: Study
29 May 2020
FRIDAY, May 29, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the United States spend more time in the hospital and are more likely to require intensive care than patients in China, a new study says. The findings suggest that the coronavirus pandemic may be putting greater strain on U.S. hospitals than previously assumed, according to researchers. "The hospital resources needed to meet the needs of severely ill patients are substantial," said lead author Joseph Lewnard, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of California, Berkeley. "We found that observations from China may not provide a sufficient basis for anticipating the U.S. health care demand," he said in a university news release. Lewnard and his colleagues analyzed the medical records of...
Big Need for Blood Donations as Postponed Surgeries Resume
29 May 2020
FRIDAY, May 29, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- As U.S. hospitals resume procedures put on hold by the coronavirus outbreak, there's an urgent need for blood and platelet donations, the American Red Cross says. Following a sharp decline in demand for blood products that began in early April, hospitals' needs have recently spiked 30%. "Blood donors are essential to ensuring the continued health of their community by making sure hospitals have a readily available supply of blood products for patients," said Chris Hrouda, president of the American Red Cross Biomedical Services. "Blood cannot be stockpiled like other medical supplies and must be constantly replenished." Hrouda said the Red Cross is grateful to the tens of thousands of donors who rolled up a sleeve to help early on. Though...
