Could Anemia Cause Hearing Loss?

vendredi 30 décembre 2016

THURSDAY, Dec. 29, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Hearing loss may be linked to iron deficiency anemia -- a combination of low levels of iron and red blood cells, new research suggests.

The study found that people with iron deficiency anemia have more than twice the rate of hearing loss as people without the blood disorder.

The association between hearing loss and iron deficiency anemia was particularly strong for two types of hearing loss -- one called sensorineural and combined sensorineural and conductive hearing loss.

Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when the inner ear or the nerve pathway from the inner ear to the brain is damaged, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

Conductive hearing loss is when sounds aren't efficiently conducted from the outer ear to the eardrum or middle ear. Combined hearing loss is a mixture of the two, according to ASHA.

Sensorineural hearing loss is generally considered permanent, ASHA reports. And, that's where this study comes in. If iron deficiency anemia plays a role in hearing loss, it's possible that correcting the condition might lead to improvements in hearing.

But, for now, researchers say it's too soon to tell if that would happen, and they aren't recommending that people with hearing loss get blood tests for anemia.

"There is currently no evidence to confirm that treating iron deficiency anemia will improve hearing health," said study author Kathleen Schieffer. She's a graduate student at the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine in Philadelphia.

The findings only show a possible connection between iron deficiency anemia and hearing loss, she said. They don't prove that one causes the other.

Still, Schieffer said, the study authors want to understand whether treating the blood condition will help improve or prevent hearing loss, particularly since iron deficiency anemia is a common and treatable condition in the United States.

The study authors pointed out that the inner ear is very sensitive to changes in blood supply, so it's possible that the lack of oxygen in the blood of people with iron deficiency anemia might affect the inner ear.

"The part of the inner ear affected by sensorineural hearing loss is supplied by only one artery, which makes it susceptible to damage if low oxygen is present," Schieffer said.

For the new study, the researchers checked diagnoses of hearing loss in more than 300,000 U.S. adults from 2011 to 2015. They were between the ages of 21 and 90, with an average age of 50. Most were women.

"Overall, 1.6 percent of the general population had hearing loss, while 3.4 percent of individuals with iron deficiency anemia had hearing loss," Schieffer said.

When the researchers looked at the type of hearing loss, the overall risk for sensorineural hearing loss in someone with iron deficiency anemia was 82 percent higher than for someone without the blood condition. People with anemia had a 2.4 times greater risk of combined hearing loss than folks without anemia.

Dr. David Haynes, a professor of otolaryngology, neurosurgery and hearing and speech sciences at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, said "these and other studies should put iron deficiency on the radar as one of the factors that may be contributing to hearing loss. Other studies will be needed to confirm the findings, as in all medical research."

As for why iron deficiency anemia might be connected to hearing loss, ear-nose-and-throat specialist Peter Steyger of Oregon Health & Science University's Oregon Hearing Research Center said several factors could be at play.

"Iron is clearly required for normal functioning of the auditory system, as for many other organs, and too little can result in anemia, the loss of hemoglobin in red blood cells to carry oxygen to the tissues in the body," he said.

Too little iron can also disrupt the workings of cells and even kill them, he said, leading to hearing loss if that happens to hair cells in the inner ear. "Unlike other organs," he said, "once the sensory hair cells in the inner ear are damaged and die, they cannot be restored to restore auditory function."

"A healthy well-balanced diet that meets the daily recommended intake of vitamins and other nutrients is crucial for everyone's general physical well-being, as well as for optimal hearing health," he said.

The study was published Dec. 29 in the journal JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery.

For Kids with Kidney Disease, Race May Play Role in Outcomes

THURSDAY, Dec. 29, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Black children are about one-third more likely to die from kidney failure than white children, and access to kidney transplants may be a crucial factor explaining the discrepancy, a new study suggests.

Dr. Elaine Ku, of the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues tracked the health of more than 12,000 black, Hispanic and white children who had chronic kidney failure. All had been treated for kidney disease with either dialysis or transplants between 1995 and 2011.

The investigators followed the kids' health until 2012 for a median of 7 years.

Over the follow-up period, 1,600 of the children died. Black children were 36 percent more likely than white children to die, the findings showed.

The researchers said that they believe this difference mostly has to do with limited access to kidney transplants.

However, Hispanic children were less likely to die than white children even though they also had less access to transplants, the study authors noted.

"We believe it is critically important to understand differences in transplantation and death by race so that changes can be made to either the allocation of donated organs or current practices in the treatment of kidney disease in children to eliminate the differences that we observed," Ku said in a news release from the American Society of Nephrology.

The study was published online Dec. 29 in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.

Researchers Develop Potential Oral Treatment for Hemophilia

THURSDAY, Dec. 29, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- People with hemophilia have to endure painful injections every few days to stay alive, but a newly developed treatment may one day offer a simpler, cheaper and less painful alternative.

University of Texas at Austin researchers created an oral treatment for one type of hemophilia, which is a serious, genetic bleeding disorder. But, the treatment is still in the early stages of development, and it's not yet clear when -- or if -- the encapsulated therapy will be in clinical trials.

About 400,000 people worldwide have either hemophilia A or B, both of which are caused by a missing protein in the blood.

In many parts of the world, access to treatment for hemophilia is limited by cost, the need for trained health workers, and the risk of complications associated with injection drug therapy.

The new capsule has nanoparticles that carry a protein therapy to treat hemophilia B. This type of hemophilia is caused by a missing or defective clotting protein called factor IX, the research team said.

The treatment is encapsulated, allowing it to pass through the stomach without being destroyed by gastric enzymes. It isn't until the capsule reaches the small intestine that it begins to swell and degrade. As the capsule degrades, the treatment is slowly released, the researchers explained.

"While an oral delivery platform will be beneficial to all hemophilia B patients, patients in developing countries will benefit the most," study lead author Sarena Horava said in a university news release.

"In many developing countries, the median life expectancy for hemophilia patients is 11 years due to the lack of access to treatment, but our new oral delivery of factor IX can now overcome these issues and improve the worldwide use of this therapy," Horava said.

The capsule is still in development and further tests are required before clinical trials can be considered.

The researchers described their new treatment recently in the International Journal of Pharmaceutics.

Disabled Children Face Bullying Throughout School Years

jeudi 29 décembre 2016

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 28, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Bullying is a problem that affects almost all students in some ways, but for disabled children it's a problem that seems to last throughout their school years.

Disabled children, including those with learning disabilities, were about 20 percent more likely to report being bullied than other students in surveys taken at a New England school district. And that difference remained steady from third through 12th grades, the researchers found.

"Students with disabilities need to be taught skills to respond appropriately to bullying. They need to know what to do, how to respond and who to tell," said study co-author Chad Rose. He's an assistant professor of special education with the University of Missouri College of Education.

"But they don't have those response skills, and that perpetuates this gap," Rose said.

For the new study, Rose and co-author Nicholas Gage, from the University of Florida, analyzed the results of surveys of more than 6,500 students from grades K-12 during the years 2011-2013.

About two-thirds of those children surveyed received free or low-priced lunches; 43 percent were Latino, 36 percent were white and 14 percent were black. Sixteen percent were identified as having a disability.

The surveys asked the students about bullying, which Rose defined as "pervasive aggression." Students responded to questions about whether they'd been hit or threatened, had their feelings hurt, or had lies and mean rumors spread about them. Online harassment wasn't included in the surveys.

The students also were asked questions about whether they bullied others.

The researchers found that disabled kids reported being bullied more than the other kids did. And this gap didn't change over time.

"Sixty-six percent of disabled students in grade 3 reported some bullying compared to 42 percent of other students, and when the students reached fifth grade, the gap remained similar, 61 percent compared to 41 percent," said Gage, an assistant professor at UF's College of Education. "This 20 percent gap was constant across all grade levels."

Rose noted that many of the disabled children didn't have obvious disabilities. "We didn't primarily focus on those with visual, hearing or orthopedic impairments," he said. "Most of the students had learning and emotional disabilities like ADHD and autism."

So why are disabled kids vulnerable to bullying? Possibly "because they are perceived as looking or acting differently from their peers," said Jennifer Greif Green, an associate professor at Boston University's School of Education.

"Some researchers have speculated that students with disabilities have more trouble than their peers understanding complex communication, such as sarcasm or nonverbal cues, and that makes it more likely they will be involved in bullying," she said.

Green said the study is valuable because it's among the first to look at disabled children as bullying victims. And, she said, it shows that disabled kids can persist through school as both bully victims and bullies themselves.

What should be done? Rose goes back to the importance of training disabled children about how to deal with bullying.

Rose said all schools should be teaching skills "like working with others, knowing how to respond in aversive situations, keeping your temper, making sure you know how to communicate with your peers."

Other skills, he added, include "engaging in a conversation, working with others in a group, participating, knowing how to respond if you don't win a game. Basic skills that most of us have, even though we don't know how we learned them."

What can parents do? "I encourage them to talk to their kids beyond, 'How was your day at school?' Use more direct questions to establish more open lines of communication," Rose recommended.

The study appeared online recently in the journal Exceptional Children.

Men Don't Know about Risks to Fertility, Survey Finds

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 28, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Many men don't know about risk factors that can lead to infertility, a new study reveals.

In a survey, Canadian men could identify only about half of the activities and medical conditions that can harm their sperm count and reduce fertility.

The men were more likely to know about risk factors such as cancer, smoking and steroid use. However, they were less aware of the fertility threat posed by obesity, bicycling and frequent use of a laptop computer on the lap, the researchers said.

The knowledge gap was true across all ages, education and income levels, the investigators found.

"Men aren't as inclined to ask questions about their health, so it stands to reason that they would be less well-informed about their fertility," said study leader Phyllis Zelkowitz. She is an associate professor of psychiatry at McGill University and director of research in the department of psychiatry at Jewish General Hospital, both in Montreal.

About one-third of the men in the survey had concerns about their fertility and nearly 60 percent wanted to learn more.

"Infertility can be devastating for people. When men can't have children, or have to undertake very expensive treatments, it can have a grave psychological impact. It can lead to depression and put severe stress on relationships," Zelkowitz said in a university news release.

Men should be taught about fertility from a young age so they can take steps to protect it, the researchers suggested.

The study findings were published in a recent issue of the journal Human Reproduction.

Welders Showed Increased Risk of Parkinson-Like Symptoms in Study

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 28, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Welders are in danger of developing symptoms similar to those of Parkinson's disease, according to a new study that suggests exposure to fumes containing manganese makes things worse.

Welding has been linked in previous research to a higher risk for parkinsonism. The term refers to a group of disorders that causes movement problems that mimic those seen with Parkinson's disease, such as slow movement and stiffness.

"These welders are developing parkinsonian symptoms even though their exposure to manganese is below the current regulatory limits," study author Dr. Brad Racette said in an American Academy of Neurology news release.

"This study suggests that we need more stringent workplace monitoring of manganese exposure, greater use of protective equipment and monitoring and systematic assessment of workers to prevent this disabling disease," he added.

Racette is a executive vice chairman of the department of neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

For the study, neurologists examined 886 workers at two shipyards and a fabrication shop that makes heavy machinery. They followed almost 400 of the workers for up to a decade, using questionnaires about their job types and length of time on the job to estimate levels of manganese exposure.

Of that group, 135 (15 percent) developed so-called "parkinsonism." Those with more exposure to manganese had slower movement in their arms and hands and more stiffness in their arms and legs. They also had more speech problems and more frozen facial expressions, other hallmarks of Parkinson's, the study found.

The research had limitations, however. Racette noted the study wasn't able to measure workers' cumulative exposure to manganese directly, and it's not clear what role exposure to other metals on the job might have been at play.

Also, the study did not prove that manganese exposure caused parkinsonism symptoms.

The study was published in the Dec. 28 issue of the journal Neurology.

Why Acne Can Strike Women After the Teen Years

mercredi 28 décembre 2016

TUESDAY, Dec. 27, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Why does acne still plague some women into adulthood? A new study offers some hints.

Researchers from Italy who looked at 500 women uncovered some factors related to the risk of acne after the age of 25 -- including a low intake of fruits and vegetables, high stress levels and a family history of adult acne.

The findings do not prove that those things cause acne in some women, but it's plausible that they are involved, dermatologists said.

"We see that people who have a diet of junk food tend to break out more," said Dr. Debra Jaliman, an assistant professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.

Specifically, Jaliman said, research has implicated foods with a high "glycemic index" -- which cause blood sugar to surge. Some high-GI foods include white bread and rice, chips and crackers, and sugary baked goods.

Similarly, Jaliman said, chronic stress takes a toll on overall health, and that could show up on the skin.

Over 80 percent of teenagers have bouts of acne. The good news is, most see their skin clear up after age 20, according to a team led by Dr. Luigi Naldi, of the Study Center of the Italian Group for Epidemiologic Research in Dermatology in Bergamo, Italy.

Still, anywhere from 20 percent to 40 percent of adults continue to have breakouts, the researchers added.

"Women tend to get adult acne more often than men," Jaliman said. "It's often due to changes in hormone levels and or hormonal imbalances."

Women may get acne before their menstrual period, for example, or when they start or stop birth control pills, Jaliman said.

But it's not completely clear why some women continue to have acne, while others don't.

To look into the question, Naldi's team surveyed women seen at dermatology clinics in 12 Italian cities. Overall, 248 were diagnosed with acne and 270 were diagnosed with other conditions to serve as the control group.

The researchers found that certain lifestyle factors were tied to the risk of an acne diagnosis.

Women who ate fruits and vegetables, or fresh fish, on fewer than four days out of the week were more than twice as likely to have acne, compared to women who ate those foods more often.

The findings were published in the December issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

It's not clear, though, whether fruits and veggies specifically ward off acne, according to another dermatologist who reviewed the study.

Women with diets low in those healthful foods may eat a lot of high-GI fare -- which could be the culprit, explained Dr. Bethanee Schlosser, an associate professor of dermatology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.

She also noted that the study found no connection between dairy intake and acne, which conflicts with the researchers' own previous work.

It's possible, Schlosser said, that the diet factors tied to acne might be different for different age groups.

Along with diet, women's stress levels were linked to acne risk: Those who reported "high" or "very high" stress levels had a threefold greater risk of acne, compared with women who were less stressed.

Acne risk was also higher among women whose parents or siblings had adult acne. The same was true of women who'd never been pregnant or had hirsutism -- male-pattern hair growth on the face or body.

According to Jaliman, those latter findings may reflect the effects of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) -- a hormonal disorder that causes fertility problems, hirsutism and acne.

In fact, Schlosser pointed out, the study included women with a diagnosis of PCOS or other disorders that boost testosterone levels. And that limits the potential to extend the findings to the "general population of women" without hormonal disorders, she said.

But even though this study does not prove fish, fruit or stress reduction will clear a woman's acne, it's always wise to be mindful of diet and lifestyle, Jaliman noted.

"I recommend doing something that you find relaxing for yourself daily," she said, pointing to meditation as an example.

Jaliman also advised eating plenty of fruits, vegetables and fish -- which are clearly good for overall health.

Antipsychotic Drugs May Up Risk of Early Death in Alzheimer's Patients

TUESDAY, Dec. 27, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Taking antipsychotic drugs significantly increases the risk of premature death among Alzheimer's patients, a new study indicates.

Researchers analyzed data from almost 58,000 people in Finland diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease between 2005 and 2011.

Slightly more than a quarter of the Alzheimer's patients took antipsychotic drugs. The study found they had a 60 percent higher risk of death than those who didn't take the drugs.

The risk of death was highest when patients first started taking antipsychotics, but the increased risk persisted with long-term use of the drugs.

Patients who took two or more antipsychotic drugs at the same time were nearly twice as likely to die early than those who took one antipsychotic.

Although the study found an association between antipsychotic drug use and a higher risk of dying, it cannot prove a cause-and-effect link.

But, the researchers -- led by Marjaana Koponen, a doctoral student from the School of Pharmacy at the University of Eastern Finland -- said their findings support previous studies. The first warnings about increased risk of death among Alzheimer's patients taking antipsychotics were issued more than 10 years ago.

The new study confirms current recommendations that antipsychotic drugs should be used only for the most difficult behavioral symptoms of dementia, such as agitation and aggression, and that length of use should be limited, the researchers said.

Also, patients should be given the lowest possible doses, and should not be given two or more antipsychotics at the same time.

The study was published recently in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.

Antipsychotic Drugs May Up Risk of Early Death in Alzheimer's Patients

Does Legalizing Pot Spur Kids to Try It?

TUESDAY, Dec. 27, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- States that legalize recreational marijuana use may be sending a message to teens that pot is harmless, a new study suggests.

Fewer teenagers in Washington and Colorado saw marijuana as risky to their health following approval of recreational use by voters in those states, researchers report.

Washington also saw an increase in recreational pot use among 8th and 10th graders following legalization there.

"With legalization, marijuana use became less stigmatized and adolescents were more likely to use it," said study author Magdalena Cerda. She is an epidemiologist with the University of California, Davis, Violence Prevention Research Program.

However, the study did not prove that legalizing recreational use of marijuana caused teens to find it less harmful or be more likely to try it.

In 2012, Washington and Colorado became the first two states to legalize recreational marijuana use. Six states -- Alaska, Oregon, California, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada -- along with Washington, D.C., have since followed suit.

Cerda and her colleagues examined federal survey data to determine whether legalization had any impact on marijuana use and perceptions of risk among 8th, 10th and 12th graders in Washington and Colorado.

The U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse funds the annual survey, which questions teenagers about their behaviors, attitudes and values. Nearly 254,000 Colorado and Washington state students participated in the survey during the period in question.

Perceptions of marijuana's harmfulness decreased dramatically in Washington following legalization, falling by 14 percent and 16 percent among 8th and 10th graders.

About 61 percent of 8th graders and 47 percent of 10th graders in Washington saw marijuana as greatly or moderately risky to health in 2013-2015, compared with 75 percent and 63 percent in 2010-2012, the findings showed.

Washington teens' pot use increased during the same period, by 2 percent for 8th graders and 4 percent for 10th graders, researchers found. By 2013-2015, about 8 percent of 8th graders and 20 percent of 10th graders said they'd used marijuana within the past month.

The effects of legalization were more muted in Colorado.

Teens in Colorado also experienced a decrease in perceived health risks surrounding marijuana, but it was somewhat less dramatic -- about 3 percent for 8th graders and 11 percent for 10th graders, according to the report.

But actual pot use did not change among 8th graders in Colorado, with about 9 percent saying they'd used marijuana within the past month. Use actually declined among 10th graders in Colorado, falling from 17 percent to 13.5 percent.

The findings were published online Dec. 27 in the journal JAMA Pediatrics.

Cerda said the results from Colorado might have been different because that state more actively embraced marijuana use back when it had only been approved for medical purposes.

"There was a more robust commercialization effort around medical marijuana prior to recreational marijuana being legalized," Cerda said. "That might have contributed to the fact that even before marijuana was legalized, the use was already quite high and the perceived harm was quite low."

NORML advisory board member Mitch Earleywine noted that even in states that did not legalize recreational use, teens' perceptions of marijuana's harmfulness decreased by 5 percent and 7 percent among 8th and 10th graders, according to results from the new study. NORML advocates for reform of marijuana laws.

Marijuana use decreased by about 1 percent for both grades in non-legalization states during the same period, the researchers said.

"The changes in use seem to appear small and inconsistent, particularly in light of comparable changes in states where prohibition still reigns," said Earleywine, a professor of psychology at the State University of New York at Albany. "We don't need to waste law enforcement time or court resources to end teen consumption," he added.

"I'd like to encourage everyone to continue to send the empirically supported message that recreational cannabis use early in life is bad for brain development, just like binge drinking, restrictive dieting and head injury," Earleywine continued. "Let's use tax dollars generated from the new market to help spread the word."

Cerda said that studies have shown that kids who try marijuana at an earlier age are more at risk to become lifelong chronic users. Teens' brains are still developing, and the chemicals in pot can alter that development in ways that leave them less intelligent and more vulnerable to addiction, she added.

Dr. Scott Krakower is assistant unit chief of psychiatry for Zucker Hillside Hospital in New Hyde Park, N.Y. He said, "As long as you have at least one of the states showing an increased rate among younger-age students, there are concerns those students are going to move up the ladder and wind up using more when they hit a later age."

Recreational legalization can increase the amount of pot available to kids, and at the same time give the perception that there's nothing wrong with using marijuana, Krakower noted.

"With parental attitudes being more permissive about the agent, children tend to follow their parents and what their parents do," Krakower said. "If parental perception of harm is decreased, children will follow the example of their parents. Combine that with a legalized market where you can readily buy it and it will be easier to obtain, and children will be more likely to use it."
