Feds Urge States to Slow Down on Dropping Folks From Medicaid as Pandemic Relief Ends
TUESDAY, June 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) – Large numbers of people are losing their Medicaid health coverage as pandemic relief measures end, and the federal government is asking states to slow down the purging of rolls.Some people losing coverage could still be eligible and are being cut only for administrative reasons, such as not responding in time with their forms or not understanding the renewal process, the Biden Administration contended.“I am deeply concerned with the number of people unnecessarily losing coverage, especially those who appear to have lost coverage for avoidable reasons that state Medicaid offices have the power to prevent or mitigate,†Health and Human Services Secretary Secretary Xavier Becerra wrote in a letter Monday to governors.Nobody “should lose...
Millions Still Haven't Recovered Full Sense of Smell...
13 June 2023
TUESDAY, June 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- COVID caused more than 20 million Americans to lose their ability to smell and taste, and at least 25% haven't regained those vital senses, a new study says.Survey responses from nearly 29,700 adults also show a correlation between more severe COVID infection and taste and smell loss, researchers reported recently in the journal The Laryngoscope.“The value of this study is that we are highlighting a group of people who have been a bit neglected,†said study co-author Dr. Neil Bhattacharyya, a professor of otolaryngology at Massachusetts Eye and Ear. “Losing your sense of smell or taste isn’t as benign as you may think. It can lead to decreased eating for pleasure and, in more extreme cases, it can lead to depression and weight...
Working With AI Might Make for Lonely Workers
13 June 2023
TUESDAY, June 13, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new study finds that people working with artificial intelligence (AI) systems can be lonely, suffer from insomnia and drink more heavily after work. In the study, published online June 12 in the Journal of Applied Psychology, the researchers noted these findings don't prove that working with AI systems causes loneliness or other responses, just that they are associated. The research involved four experiments in the United States, Taiwan, Indonesia and Malaysia."The rapid advancement in AI systems is sparking a new industrial revolution that is reshaping the workplace with many benefits but also some uncharted dangers, including potentially damaging mental and physical impacts for employees," said lead researcher Pok Man Tang, an assistant...
What Are the Symptoms of Hepatitis C?
12 June 2023
MONDAY, June 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Hepatitis C is often missed in the early stages of infection, so you need to know what symptoms might spell trouble.According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hepatitis C infections, which attack the liver, are increasing at a faster rate than a decade ago. While there’s no need for alarm, it’s important to arm yourself with accurate information for protection from infection.What is hepatitis C?The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an infection passed through blood and body fluids. If left untreated, it causes severe liver damage like scarring and liver cancer.“We call hepatitis C the silent killer because it’s usually discovered only years and years later, without proactive screening, when a person gets symptoms that...
Obesity Might Permanently Blunt Brain's Responses to Sugary, Fatty Foods
12 June 2023
MONDAY, June 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Obesity seems to alter the normal way the brain responds to sugar and fat -- a problem that may not be corrected by weight loss, a new study suggests."It could help explain why weight loss and weight-loss maintenance are so hard," said senior researcher Dr. Mireille Serlie, a professor at Yale School of Medicine.She and her colleagues found that compared with lean adults, those with obesity did not have the same brain responses to infusions of dietary fat or sugar into the stomach. Their brain activity was blunted, and they did not have the normal release of dopamine -- a chemical involved in feelings of "reward" from food."Our interpretation is, there's a generally reduced nutrient-sensing in people with obesity," said Serlie.In essence, she...
There's No Hepatitis C Vaccine, But You Can Still Prevent Infection
12 June 2023
MONDAY, June 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Hepatitis C can ruin your liver, and there's no vaccine to prevent it, but you can take steps to lower your chances of infection.According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 2 million U.S. adults are infected with hepatitis C. The virus strikes the liver and is one of the leading causes of liver transplantation in the United States. When first exposed to the virus, it can remain undetected and cause harm without the individual knowing they are infected. Hepatitis C can result in liver scarring, cancer and death. While there are vaccines for hepatitis A and hepatitis B, viruses that also affect the liver, there is no vaccine for hepatitis C. Here, you will find information about how you can protect yourself against this...
Is There a Cure for Hepatitis C Infection?
12 June 2023
MONDAY, June 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Hepatitis C is a serious viral infection that can damage your liver over time, but is there a cure for this insidious disease?Over 2 million adults in the United States are infected with hepatitis C, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This virus attacks the liver, often silently, in the early stages of the disease. Untreated, hepatitis C can lead to liver scarring, liver cancer and death. It is one of the leading causes of liver transplants in the United States. Fortunately, this potentially deadly disease is curable.How is hepatitis C curable?There have been significant advances in the treatment of hepatitis C. According to the Mayo Clinic, “direct-acting†antiviral medications successfully treat the virus....
Men's Mental Health: Warning Signs & Where to Go for Help
12 June 2023
MONDAY, June 12, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Men typically don't want to discuss mental health issues, much less get treatment for one.That's a problem, given how many males struggle with mental health problems: Six million American men suffer from depression every year, while 3 million struggle with anxiety disorder, according to Mental Health America. Beyond that, 90% of those diagnosed with schizophrenia by age 30 are men, and 25% of those with binge eating disorder are males. Unfortunately, men are less likely to seek professional help for their problems.When it comes to suicide, the picture is also troubling. While women are more likely to attempt suicide, it is the 7th leading cause of death among males, and white men over the age of 85 are the most likely to die by suicide.Here,...
