Medicare Limits Coverage of Alzheimer’s Drug Aduhelm to People in Clinical Trials

Main

Medicare will no longer provide coverage of the new Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm (aducanumab) except for people who are enrolled in clinical trials of the drug, according to a statement issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The decision finalizes a policy proposal first announced by CMS in January.This is an unusual move by the U.S. government health plan, as it’s the first time the agency has limited Medicare beneficiaries’ access to a drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), at least for the approved medical conditions, according to a New York Times report.Alzheimer’s disease affects about six million Americans, according to the National Institute on Aging, and most of them are age 65 or older, the age when people are eligible for the government insurance plan. It’s estimated…

Gene Mapping May Help Detect Heart Disease Risk in People With Type 2 Diabetes

Main

Assigning risk scores based on a gene map of more than 1,000 common genetic variants that are known to affect blood pressure helped researchers identify people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who are at increased risk for heart attack or stroke. The findings were published in the May 2022 issue of Hypertension, from the American Heart Association (AHA).The genetic risk-assessment tool could help implement more targeted intervention efforts, said lead author Pankaj Arora, MD, associate professor of cardiology at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, in a release.“In the current era of precision medicine, we want to find the individualized approach of understanding the risk of heart disease in a person newly diagnosed with diabetes,” he says. This personalized approach based on genetic risk could allow doctors to focus clinical efforts…

A Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist’s Take on That Viral Blue Smoothie

Main

Would you pay $17 for a smoothie? Most people wouldn’t! But that’s just what thousands of people did recently to try TikTok’s hottest smoothie, a recipe that, via the hashtag #bluesmoothie, has racked up 17.5 million views and counting.Erewhon is the upscale grocery store in Los Angeles that’s selling the drink, which is called “Marianna’s Coconut Cloud Smoothie.” Created with influencer Marianna Hewitt, it features her brand of almond milk as a main ingredient — but that’s not what made this social media’s most famous smoothie. This stunningly beautiful bright-blue smoothie gets its hue naturally from blue spirulina, a type of algae.The idea of consuming algae may sound odd, but past research suggests it could have anti-inflammatory effects in the body and decrease the risk of developing chronic conditions such as…

Few Sexually Active Teens Are Getting Tested for Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Main

Untreated sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can have long-term health effects, including pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and cervical cancer, as well as an increased likelihood of contracting other STDs, including HIV. But in a study published April 11 in Pediatrics, only one in five sexually active high school students reported getting tested for STDs in the previous year.“The prevalence of sexually active high school students getting tested for an STI in the past year is relatively low, despite national guidelines,” says a coauthor of the study, Nicole Liddon, PhD, a senior health scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These findings are important, as they provide the first national estimates of annual STI testing among a representative sample of U.S. high school students, she adds.Adolescents and Young Adults Account for…

Childhood Trauma Linked to Increased Risk of MS

Main

Childhood trauma, including sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, may be linked to an increased risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) in later life among women. The link was strongest for those who suffered sexual abuse and those who reported more than one type of abuse, according to the findings, published online April 4 in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry.The findings from this study fit with what we know about trauma and MS, says Dina Jacobs, MD, the clinical director of the multiple sclerosis and related disorders center at Penn Medicine in Philadelphia, who was not involved in the research.“The release of stress hormones chronically may impact the immune system, and it is certainly plausible that chronic stress may have an impact here,” says Dr. Jacobs, adding that although the…

Mediterranean Diet Tied to Lower Preeclampsia Risk

Main

Following a Mediterranean-style diet may help pregnant women avoid preeclampsia, a serious complication that can prove fatal for mothers and their babies, a new study suggests.For the study, researchers examined data on 8,507 pregnant women who were interviewed after delivery about their typical eating habits. Almost half of the women in the study were Black, 28 percent were Hispanic, 12 percent were white, and another 12 percent identified as other racial or ethnic groups.One in 10 women developed preeclampsia during pregnancy. Compared with women whose eating habits looked very little like a Mediterranean diet, those who most closely hewed to this way of eating were 22 percent less likely to develop preeclampsia, researchers report in the Journal of the American Heart Association.The protective effect of a Mediterranean-style diet appeared most…

Obesity Increases Heart Failure Risk Associated With Late Menopause

Main

Obesity has long been linked to a wide range of health problems, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and an increased risk of premature death. Now a new study suggests that obesity is also associated with an increased risk of heart failure in women who go through menopause later than usual.Women go through menopause when they stop menstruating, a process that normally begins between ages 45 and 55. Earlier menopause has previously been linked to an increased risk of heart failure, which is diagnosed when the heart can no longer pump enough oxygen-rich blood out to the rest of the body.“We had expected that the effect of obesity on heart failure risk would be greatest among women who had experienced early menopause. This was not so,” said the study's lead…

Do Antidepressants Improve Quality of Life?

Main

Depression Has Worsened During the PandemicSymptoms of depression can include a depressed mood, a loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities, and symptoms that include problems with sleep, eating, energy, concentration, or self-worth.Before the pandemic, about 1 in 12 U.S. adults reported depressive symptoms each year. According to research published in October 2021 in the journal Lancet Regional Health Americas, that number has now tripled; nearly 1 in 3 U.S. adults — 32.8 percent — experienced elevated depressive symptoms in 2021.Findings Suggest Antidepressants Did Little to Improve Health-Related Quality of Life To examine the impact of antidepressants on quality of life measures in people with depression, the researchers used data from the 2005–2015 United States Medical Expenditures Panel Survey (MEPS), a large longitudinal study that tracks use of health…
