Why Anti-Vaxxers Often Win Out on Facebook
WEDNESDAY, May 13, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Groups that spread vaccine misinformation on social media have more impact than government health agencies and other expert organizations on undecided people, a new study finds. The spread of false information could have significant public health consequences if an effective COVID-19 vaccine is developed, the researchers noted. For the study, investigators developed an innovative tool to map vaccine conversations among 100 million Facebook users during the height of the 2019 measles outbreak. "There is a new world war online surrounding trust in health expertise and science, particularly with misinformation about COVID-19, but also distrust in big pharmaceuticals and governments," said lead author Neil Johnson, a professor who heads a new...
Can Fruits, Tea Help Fend Off Alzheimer's Disease?
13 May 2020
WEDNESDAY, May 13, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- If you're worried about developing Alzheimer's disease, new research suggests that eating more fruits or drinking more tea or red wine might help protect your brain. People who had the lowest amounts of fruits -- like apples and berries -- and red wine and tea in their diets were two to four times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease or another related dementia, the study found. "Diet matters. And the good news is you don't have to make dramatic changes. Modest changes like going from not eating any berries to eating a cup or two a week can make a difference," explained the study's senior author, Paul Jacques. He's a senior scientist and director of nutritional epidemiology at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at...
AHA News: Is Your Child's Blood Pressure Something to...
13 May 2020
WEDNESDAY, May 13, 2020 (American Heart Association News) -- The term "high blood pressure" rarely conjures images of young, playful children. But the condition doesn't just affect adults. In children, it can be caused by obesity, kidney disease, heart abnormalities or other factors. Hypertension at such a young age puts kids at risk for heart disease and stroke later in life. "With obesity on the rise, we do see quite a few kids with high blood pressure," said Dr. Geetha Raghuveer, pediatric cardiologist at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. "It's underrecognized. It's not often flagged in the pediatrician office because it is not always checked." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 781,000 children ages 12 to 17 have high blood pressure based on...
Could Survivors' Blood Help Patients Battling COVID-19?...
13 May 2020
WEDNESDAY, May 13, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Could blood plasma drawn from people who've recovered from COVID-19 help prevent new coronavirus infections or ease symptoms in those already infected? Two groups of researchers aim to find out. One clinical trial, from doctors at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Montefiore Health System and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, will try to determine whether "convalescent plasma" injected into hospitalized COVID-19 patients can protect them from developing severe disease or requiring a ventilator. Meanwhile, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore are poised to launch a pair of new studies looking at the use of plasma in health care workers and those who are sick at home with...
More Evidence Sugary Drinks Harm Women's Hearts
13 May 2020
WEDNESDAY, May 13, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Women who drink a lot of sodas, sweetened juices and other sugary drinks are at greater risk of developing heart disease, a new study finds. Those who drink one or more a day have nearly a 20% higher risk than women who never do. And it's not just soda that's problematic: Fruit drinks with added sugars are also a culprit, researchers say. Though the study does not prove cause and effect, researchers suspect there are several reasons sugar can increase heart disease risk, according to lead author Cheryl Anderson, interim chair of Family and Public Health at the University of California, San Diego. "It raises glucose levels and insulin concentrations in the blood, which may increase appetite and lead to obesity, a major risk factor for...
Pandemic Is Putting Cutting-Edge Cancer Research on Hold: Survey
13 May 2020
WEDNESDAY, May 13, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- COVID-19 has at least temporarily shut down more than half of cancer research, according to an American Cancer Society (ACS) survey. The survey, conducted in early April, was completed by close to 500 cancer researchers who have received ACS funding. It revealed that: 54% were working from home. 32% were working both at home and in their lab. 8% were working in their lab or in clinics. Asked how their institution was dealing with the pandemic: 91% said only essential personnel were allowed. 59% said labs had been closed. 57% said their research was temporarily halted. 4% said their institution was open. In terms of the effect on research or training: 51% said all research or training was on hold until further notice. 43% said...
Nervous About Returning to Work? Take Precautions Against Coronavirus
13 May 2020
WEDNESDAY, May 13, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- As coronavirus pandemic restrictions are lifted, many Americans will face physical and mental health challenges -- including fear and anxiety -- as they return to work. "Uncertainty and unpredictability can really create an unhealthy amount of fear and stress, especially when it's sustained over such a long period of time," said Dr. K. Luan Phan, head of psychiatry and behavioral health at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center in Columbus. "Challenges will remain as businesses reopen, and the typical workplace will look very different following this pandemic," he said in an OSU news release. Phan said it's essential to find new ways to work as a team while maintaining your distance from colleagues and preventing the spread of...
Top Health Officials Warn Against Reopening as Millions More Americans Go Out
13 May 2020
WEDNESDAY, May 13, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Even as the country's top health officials testified to Congress on Tuesday about the dangers of reopening too quickly, a new report shows millions more Americans are now venturing out in public. About 25 million more people went out on an average day last week than did during the six weeks of the U.S. lockdown, a New York Times analysis shows. From March 20, when states began urging people to stay home, to April 30, when many states started easing those restrictions, 43.8 percent of U.S. residents stayed home, the Times analysis showed. But last week, only 36.1 percent of Americans stayed home. The biggest drop in share of people staying home was in Michigan, where stay-at-home orders are actually still in place, the analysis...
