FDA Warns of Dangers of Compounded Ketamine for Psychiatric Use
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers about risks of using compounded versions of the drug ketamine, often taken for psychiatric disorders.Compounded products are not evaluated by the FDA for safety and effectiveness. They’re also not regulated like approved drugs, so they present a greater risk.“Although compounded drugs can serve an important medical need for certain patients when an FDA-approved drug is not medically appropriate, they also present a risk to patients and should only be used under the care of a health care provider," the FDA said in a news release.It offered an example of a concerning case reported about a patient in April.That person had taken compounded oral ketamine outside of a health care...
As Menthol Ban Nears, Big Tobacco Is Adding Synthetic...
11 October 2023
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Cigarette makers are using synthetic menthol substitutes in what appears to be an effort to skirt a looming federal menthol ban, researchers say.The menthol flavor appeals to younger and newer smokers, according to investigators at Duke Health in Durham, N.C., and Yale University in New Haven, Conn.These new “non-menthol†cigarettes are being introduced in states that have already banned actual menthol in advance of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration ban later this year.In studying these “non-menthol†products, researchers identified new compounds that achieve cooling sensations similar to menthol.“We found that tobacco companies are adding a synthetic cooling agent called WS-3 to these new ‘non-menthol’ cigarettes,†said...
Local Rates of Flu, RSV Show Up in a City's Wastewater
11 October 2023
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 11, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Toilet bowls reveal much about the health of a community, alerting scientists to coming outbreaks of flu and other seasonal viruses, researchers say.“Just one flush can hold a lot of information," said Kristine Du, co-author of a new Canadian study."Wastewater surveillance equips public health experts, clinicians, policymakers and the public with community-based, objective data to inform health and safety decisions against the flu and RSV,†said Du, a lab technician at the University of Calgary School of Medicine. “Knowing what viruses are coming down the pike can help prepare individuals and communities appropriately,†she added in a university news release. Du and her colleagues found that the clinical cases of influenza A and B,...
Treatment Strategy Helps People With Advanced Bladder...
10 October 2023
TUESDAY, Oct. 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- “Listen, I’m not a Pollyanna,†New Yorker David Cabelis makes clear. “I’m a cab driver.â€â€œBut I was diagnosed with this cancer,†the 72-year old said. “Bladder cancer, that’s what I had, and then I had this treatment, and it was the most amazing experience. And thank God, now I’m clean, I’m cancer-free. So, if you’re asking me about this treatment, I’ll tell you one thing: I’m not objective -- it’s great!â€Cabelis’ self-declared bias has to do with his years-long involvement in testing a first-of-its kind treatment for bladder cancer. The experimental treatment is now the subject of ongoing studies at multiple U.S. medical centers.It aims to address a key downside of the current standard of care -- the...
COVID Might Raise Odds for Immune Disorders Like Crohn's, Alopecia
10 October 2023
TUESDAY, Oct. 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- In rare cases, some patients may develop an autoimmune disease following a bout of COVID, Korean researchers report. Conditions such as alopecia (hair loss), psoriasis, vitiligo (white skin patches), vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels), Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, adult-onset Still's disease (painful skin rash), Sjogren's syndrome (autoimmune disease), ankylosing spondylitis (spinal arthritis) and sarcoidosis (enlarged lymph nodes) can all be triggered by COVID-19 infection, according to the new report.COVID-19 patients faced 12% to 74% higher odds for various types of alopecia, a tripled risk for vasculitis, 68% higher odds for Crohn's and 59% higher odds for sarcoidosis, the study found."Our findings...
Runaway Global Warming Will Make Some Areas Too Hot for Human Life
10 October 2023
TUESDAY, Oct. 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The signs of climate change are everywhere, from raging wildfires to flash flooding to soaring temperatures. Now, a new study warns that things could get worse, with scientists reporting that even small increases in global temperatures will make some parts of the Earth too hot for humans to endure.“As long as we continue to put greenhouse gases emissions into the atmosphere, we're going to continue warming,†said study author Daniel Vecellio, a postdoctoral research scholar at the George Mason University’s Virginia Climate Center.“The take-home message is that we want to keep global warming to as much of a minimum as we can,†said Vecellio, who conducted the research while at Penn State University. "The easiest thing to say, but I...
Experimental Drug Could Rein in Epilepsy Seizures
10 October 2023
TUESDAY, Oct. 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- For people with tough-to-treat epilepsy, seizures can be both frightening and dangerous, but a new experimental pill may bring significant relief to over one-third of them.Dubbed XEN1101, the new drug reduced the frequency of seizures by more than 50%, or even eliminated them, in some patients with focal epilepsy who did not respond to an average of six other drugs."I am predicting that with this drug there are going to be far fewer people with epilepsy who are going to be walking around and have no chance of getting their seizures controlled," said lead researcher Dr. Jacqueline French, a professor of neurology at NYU Langone Health in New York City. Focal epilepsy is the most common type of epilepsy, French noted. "Two-thirds of people with...
Contrary to Popular Belief, 1918 Flu Did Not Target the Healthy Young
10 October 2023
TUESDAY, Oct. 10, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- It has long been believed that the 1918 flu pandemic disproportionately affected healthy young adults, but a study of human remains tells a different story.Together, Canadian and American researchers found that preexisting medical conditions like asthma and lower income increased the likelihood of death, just as in other pandemics, including COVID-19.“Our circumstances -- social, cultural and immunological -- are all intertwined and have always shaped the life and death of people, even in the distant past,†said lead study author Amanda Wissler, an assistant professor of anthropology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.“We saw this during COVID-19, where our social backgrounds and our cultural backgrounds influenced who was more...
