Gestational diabetes is on the rise: Here are nutrition tips to prevent and treat it

 July 31, 2022     FOX NEWS, Health     No comments   

Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that can occur during pregnancy among women who didn't already have diabetes.

It's on the rise — and experts are worried.

Just last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) pointed out in a new study that there has been a 30% increase in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) — the official term for gestational diabetes — among women who gave birth between 2016 and 2020.

The agency noted that the gestational diabetes rate has risen with increasing maternal age, body mass index prior to pregnancy and plurality, meaning the number of live births per pregnancy (twins, triplets, etc.). 

MOTHERS VACCINATED AGAINST COVID DURING PREGNANCY MAY REDUCE RISK OF INFANTS BEING HOSPITALIZED WITH COVID-19

The rates of gestational diabetes ranged from 4.7% in Mississippi to as high as 12.6% in Alaska in 2020, according to the CDC study.

"About 50% of women with gestational diabetes go on to develop Type 2 diabetes," the CDC signaled.

It also said that the rate of GDM varied by a mother’s race, with the highest rate in non-Hispanic Asians at 14.9% and lowest in non-Hispanic Black women at 6.5% among the six largest race and Hispanic-origin groups studied, according to the recent report.

"During pregnancy, the mothers’ hormones ‘compete’ with the hormones produced by the placenta and causes insulin activity to be weakened or becomes less sensitive," said Sue-Ellen Anderson-Haynes, national spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, which is headquartered in Chicago.

"This is called insulin resistance," she added. 

"When this happens, the mother cannot keep blood sugars in a normal range and often needs medical intervention to keep it steady during pregnancy."

BEST FOR BABY AND MOTHER? AAP'S NEW GUIDELINES ON NURSING HAVE MOMS IN A QUANDARY

There are key steps that can be taken to try to prevent it ahead of time. 

Research has shown that some ways to reduce the risk of developing GDM include seeking the guidance of a registered dietician nutritionist (RDN) to help with diet and lifestyle changes to safely reduce blood sugar levels, Anderson-Haynes said. 

She encourages women — before they get pregnant — to maintain a healthy weight "by eating nutritious foods and engaging in regular physical activity most days of the week," which can "reduce the risk of development of GDM." 

Also, "be mindful of the foods you eat," she said. 

THESE ARE THE BEST IMMUNE-BOOSTING FOODS, ACCORDING TO NUTRITION EXPERTS

Try "limiting fried food, ultra-processed foods like potato chips, fries, refined carbohydrates like white rice, foods high in fat — particularly saturated fat — processed meats and foods high in added sugar such as sugar-sweetened beverages," Anderson-Haynes added.

"Instead, look to eating a balanced diet of grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy/dairy alternatives and protein foods."

She said the nutrition management of GDM is somewhat similar to that of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (caused by an autoimmune reaction in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin) — as well as Type 2 diabetes mellitus (caused by insulin resistance due to weight gain and lifestyle factors). 

The type of foods she recommends are high in fiber, healthy dietary fats, low-fat dairy (or dairy alternatives) and lean protein with an emphasis on a low glycemic index.

THE BEST VEGETABLES FOR YOUR HEALTH, ACCORDING TO NUTRITIONISTS

She also recommended eating carbohydrates that raise the blood sugar slowly — certain starchy vegetables, fruits, whole grain breads, rice pasta, etc, — as well as lots of non-starchy vegetables such as green leafy veggies, carrots, peppers and more.

"Nutrition individualization is key," she said. "There is no exact number of carbs, fat, protein, etc. that everyone should eat. This is also true for those with diabetes or pre-diabetes."

But if moms develop gestational diabetes mellitus during pregnancy, Anderson-Haynes says their OB-GYN can refer them to a multidisciplinary team that includes an endocrinologist, a maternal-fetal health specialist and an RDN who is also a certified diabetes care and educational specialist. 

"For many women, GDM can be managed with diet and lifestyle interventions."

Sometimes, however, insulin is needed if these modifications do not control the blood sugars, according to the American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

After pregnancy, those women with GDM should follow up with a diabetes health care team at their postpartum visit, which is usually 6-8 weeks after pregnancy.

THESE ARE THE WORST COOKING OILS FOR YOUR HEALTH, EXPERTS SAY

The team ideally includes an endocrinologist and an RDN who specializes in women’s health and diabetes.

Treatment therapies will be individualized. 

While some women may need medication to manage their high sugars, others may need only diet and lifestyle management, she noted.

The good news is Type 2 diabetes is preventable — with research showing it can go into remission with medically supervised intensive treatment, Anderson-Haynes said.

START SCREENING FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES EARLIER, AT AGE 35, TASK FORCE RECOMMENDS

She recommends some nutrition "pearls" of wisdom to follow to stay healthy.

"Simple tips include: focus on plant foods (fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains), limit fried and ultra-processed foods, foods with added sugar and sugar sweetened beverages."

And don’t forget to exercise most days of the week, have good sleep hygiene and manage stress appropriately. 

Adults should aim for a daily intake of 1.5-2 cups of fruit or the equivalent, according to the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines of America.

And women should limit added sugar intake to 6 teaspoons (25 grams of sugar), while men should limit their intake to 9 teaspoons (36 grams of sugar) every day, according to the American Heart Association.

THESE ARE THE BEST FOODS FOR YOUR HEART, EXPERTS SAY

"Dried fruit is higher in sugar than whole fruit because the sugar is more concentrated since the water is removed," Anderson-Haynes said.

"Fruit has natural sugar and is good for you since it provides lots of nutrients like fiber and antioxidants."

Too much fruit, though— especially at one serving — can lead to spikes in blood sugars if not balanced with other nutrients. 

FRUIT OR VEGETABLE? TAKE THIS QUIZ TO TEST YOUR HEALTHY FOODS KNOWLEDGE

"So go easy on smoothie bowls and fruit drinks," she advised.

Lastly, she said that health care providers and patients both need to act fast when there is a diagnosis of GDM to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes.

For more information, she recommends the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics website, the American Diabetes Association site or the "How an RDN can help with Diabetes" website when searching for the guidance of an RDN.

New York governor: Monkeypox is a 'disaster emergency'

 July 30, 2022     FOX NEWS, Health     No comments   

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issued an executive order on Friday declaring a State Disaster Emergency in response to the monkeypox outbreak.

New York is the epicenter of the outbreak in the U.S., and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that there are currently 1,345 confirmed monkeypox and orthopoxvirus cases in the Empire State. 

"After reviewing the latest data on the monkeypox outbreak in New York State, I am declaring a State Disaster Emergency to strengthen our aggressive ongoing efforts to confront this outbreak," the leader wrote in a statement. 

"More than one in four monkeypox cases in this country are in New York State, and we need to utilize every tool in our arsenal as we respond. It's especially important to recognize the ways in which this outbreak is currently having a disproportionate impact on certain at-risk groups. That's why my team and I are working around the clock to secure more vaccines, expand testing capacity and responsibly educate the public on how to stay safe during this outbreak," she said. 

NEW YORK, SAN FRANCISCO: MONKEYPOX THREAT TO PUBLIC HEALTH

Hochul said on Twitter that the order will enable the state's government to "respond more swiftly" and aid the state's vaccination efforts. 

Specifically, the order extends the pool of eligible individuals who are able to give the vaccine shots, including EMS personnel, pharmacists and midwives. 

It also allows physicians and certified nurse practitioners to issue non-patient-specific standing orders for vaccines and requires providers to send vaccine data to the New York State Department of Health. 

On Thursday, the Empire State's health commissioner declared monkeypox an "imminent threat to public health." 

SPAIN CONFIRMS FIRST MONKEYPOX-RELATED DEATH IN EUROPE

"Based on the ongoing spread of this virus, which has increased rapidly and affected primarily communities that identify as men who have sex with men, and the need for local jurisdictions to administer vaccines, I've declared monkeypox an Imminent Threat to Public Health throughout New York State," State Commissioner of Health Dr. Mary T. Bassett said in a statement. "This declaration means that local health departments engaged in response and prevention activities will be able to access additional State reimbursement, after other Federal and State funding sources are maximized, to protect all New Yorkers and ultimately limit the spread of monkeypox in our communities."

Hochul announced then that 110,00 monkeypox vaccine doses were secured for the state, which would be delivered over the course of the next four to six weeks. 

Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, announced Thursday that an additional 786,000 doses of the vaccine would be deployed nationwide.

"Our goal is to stay ahead of this virus and end this outbreak. We have a strategy to deploy these additional vaccine doses in a way that protects those at risk and limits the spread of the virus, while also working with states to ensure equitable and fair distribution," he said. "These vaccines are the result of years of federal investment and planning."

On a call, Becerra told reporters the same day that the Biden administration believes it has "done everything we can at the federal level to work with… state and local partners and communities affected to make sure we can stay ahead of this and end this outbreak."

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

As the BA.5 omicron subvariant surges, vaccine experts urge high risk people to get COVID-19 booster now

 July 29, 2022     FOX NEWS, Health     No comments   

People at high risk of severe disease who have yet to get a second COVID-19 booster should not wait for next-generation, Omicron-targeted vaccines expected in the fall, five vaccine experts told Reuters.

In many countries, including the United States, the BA.5 Omicron subvariant of the virus is surging, but current vaccines continue to offer protection against hospitalization for severe disease and death.

And, as the virus evolves, it is not known what version will be widely circulating in the fall or whether new vaccines - expected to target BA.4/5 in the United States and BA.1 in Europe - will be a good match.

"If you need a booster, get it now," said Dr. John Moore, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Weill Cornell Medical College, who co-wrote an editorial on the subject currently under review.

In the United States, regulators have asked Pfizer Inc with partner BioNTech SE and Moderna Inc to develop vaccine boosters that target both the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron cousins, as well as the original virus. They are expected to be ready by October.

Regulators in Europe, meanwhile, have signaled that they would be willing to use whichever Omicron-based booster is available to Europe soonest, which may well be the one aimed at the BA.1 variant that drove last winter's record surge in infections.

WITH OMICRON BA.5 SUBVARIANT SPREADING, WHITE HOUSE COMMITS TO ENSURING ACCESS TO BOOSTERS, TESTING

U.S. regulators are hoping an updated vaccine that targets the original strain and an Omicron variant will offer broader protection against future variants, and believe a booster that is closest to the circulating version is valuable.

Given the current surge and people's waning immunity, experts told Reuters the best booster for those at risk is the one at hand.

Only about 30% of people 50 and older who are eligible for a fourth vaccine dose have received one, and fewer than 10% of those aged 50-64, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For those under age 50 or with no major risk factors, a fourth dose has not been approved and there is little support for it among scientific experts.

Moore said the evidence he has seen, including at a June U.S. Food and Drug Administration meeting and since, all suggest that the benefit of a BA.4/5 booster compared to the original vaccine is "negligible" in terms of preventing infection.

"The public should not regard these Omicron-based boosters as some kind of magic bullet that's going to change the face of the pandemic and solve all their problems. It will have a marginal impact compared to the booster we currently have," he said.

'TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE WAITING'

Dr Eric Topol, a genomics expert and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla, California, said getting a second booster offers a survival benefit over just one booster that has been documented in five different studies.

"Too many people are waiting when we have really good proof," he said.

Dr. Bob Wachter, chief of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, said the evidence is increasingly clear that the longer a person has gone since their last booster, the less protection they have against infection and severe disease.

"There’s a ton of COVID around, and it’s a very infectious agent," he said.

BA.5 has driven a wave of new cases globally, and now makes up nearly 82% of all U.S. coronavirus infections.

Wachter is not convinced retooled BA.4/5 vaccines will be ready to roll out in two months. "It seems a bit ambitious to me, and even if they hit the timeline, it will probably go to the highest-risk groups first," he said. "I think it’s probably three or four months away for the average person."

CBS, ABC, CNN SOUND THE ALARM ON CORONAVIRUS BA.5, CALL FOR MASKING: ‘THE WORST VARIANT IS HERE’

Pfizer told Reuters it has a few million shots of a BA.4/5 vaccine manufactured.

As for the newly authorized Novavax Inc vaccine, the company has yet to seek approval for its use as a booster.

Moore, who participated in the Novavax clinical trial, said while it is an excellent vaccine, the company's boosters are unlikely to be available soon. Novavax has said it is developing a BA.4/5 booster and is aiming to have it ready by the fourth quarter.

"Whatever is in the pipeline is months away," Topol said. "This is a more virulent, more pathogenic version of the virus and being protected as best you can is smart."

First documented case of monkeypox reported in Philippines

 July 29, 2022     FOX NEWS, Health     No comments   

The Philippines has reported its first case of the monkeypox virus, detected in a citizen who returned from abroad earlier this month, a health ministry official said on Friday.

The 31-year-old had recovered but was isolating at home, while 10 people identified as close contacts including three from the patient's household had been ordered to quarantine, said Department of Health Undersecretary Beverly Ho.

The person had previously traveled to countries with documented monkeypox cases, said Ho, without elaborating.

MONKEYPOX: WHAT YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT THE VIRUS — AND HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF

Around 70 countries where monkeypox is not endemic have reported outbreaks of the viral disease as confirmed cases crossed 20,300 and the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a global health emergency.

The Philippine case was confirmed positive on Thursday and the close contacts had not shown any symptoms, Ho said.

Transmission can occur through contact with skin lesions caused by the virus, as well as bodily fluids, large respiratory droplets and contaminated bedding.

"Our (public health surveillance) systems are in place. But we all need to work together. We need also the public to be vigilant," Ho told a briefing.

"Based on what we know about monkeypox...there is a very clear need to be more careful about who we interact with, particularly sexual, intimate contact."

BIDEN ADMIN MIGHT SOON DECLARE MONKEYPOX A PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY: REPORT

The health ministry requires people exposed to monkeypox cases to quarantine for 14 to 21 days.

The president's press secretary said while monkeypox was not generally fatal, the rapid spread of the virus was of concern.

"(President Ferdinand Marcos') primary concern is to get the information out so that people would be aware," said Trixie Cruz-Angeles.

Avian flu suspected to be responsible for thousands of dead seabirds washed up on Canada's Eastern Shore

 July 28, 2022     FOX NEWS, Health     No comments   

The carcasses of thousands of migrant seabirds have washed up on the shores of eastern Canada this week and preliminary findings showed that the birds died of avian flu.

Since May 2022, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has confirmed 13 positive cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza in the eastern Canadian province of Newfoundland.

Environment and Climate Change Canada is conducting more investigations to confirm that the seabirds deaths are linked to avian flu, Peter Thomas, wildlife biologist for the center said.

Dead herring gulls, Iceland gulls, common ravens, and American crows are the among the most affected by the influenza, Thomas added.

According to the Canadian Wildlife Service, the avian influenza virus is contagious and can affect domestic and wild birds throughout the world.

ZOOS IN US RESPOND TO BIRD FLU OUTBREAK AS INFECTION RATES MOUNT

Canadian Wildlife Service is working closely with the provincial government of Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative to contain the spread.

The highly pathogenic avian influenza has also been spreading rapidly in Vancouver Island, the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said, infecting birds like great horned owls, bald eagles, great blue herons, ducks and geese, and even crows.

"Every day I receive phone calls saying 10 are dead," Elizabeth Melnick, of Elizabeth's Wildlife Center, BC, said.

"Wildlife centers in the country usually choose to save the dying ones as dead ones are picked up by the city," she said.

COLORADO REPORTS FIRST HUMAN CASE OF H5 BIRD FLU IN US IN POULTRY WORKER

According to the World Organisation for Animal Health, avian influenza is a respiratory pathogen that causes a high degree of mortality and becomes a serious threat to the poultry industry. It is naturally spread among wild aquatic birds worldwide and can infect domestic poultry and other bird and animal species.

According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, pet birds can be infected by avian influenza and spread the disease to humans, so wild birds should not be handled when they are sick or dead.

66-year-old HIV patient becomes the oldest person to be cured after stem cell transplant

 July 27, 2022     FOX NEWS, Health     No comments   

The oldest patient yet has been cured of HIV after receiving a stem cell transplant for leukemia, researchers reported on Wednesday.

While the transplant was planned to treat the now-66-year-old's leukemia, the doctors also sought a donor who was naturally resistant to the virus that causes AIDS, a mechanism that first worked to cure the "Berlin patient", Timothy Ray Brown, in 2007.

The latest patient, the fourth to be cured in this way, is known as the "City of Hope" patient after the U.S. facility in Duarte, California, where he was treated, because he does not want to be identified.

SOME HIV PATIENTS WITH 'POWERFUL IMMUNE SYSTEMS' MAY NATURALLY CLEAR HIV INFECTIONS: STUDY

As well as being the oldest, the patient has also had HIV the longest, having been diagnosed in 1988 with what he described as a "death sentence" that killed many of his friends.

He has been on antiretroviral therapy (ART) to control his condition for more than 30 years.

Doctors who presented the data ahead of the International Aids Society's (IAS) 2022 meeting said that the case opened up the potential for older patients with HIV and blood cancer to access the treatment, particularly as the donor was not a family member.

Describing a cure as the "holy grail", Sharon Lewin, president-elect of the IAS, said the case provided "continued hope ... and inspiration" for people with HIV and the wider scientific community, although it was unlikely to be an option for most people with HIV due to the risks of the procedure.

Scientists think the process works because the donor individual's stem cells have a specific, rare genetic mutation which means they lack the receptors used by HIV to infect cells.

HIV INCIDENCE DOWN 73% SINCE 1980S PEAK, CDC ESTIMATES

After the transplant three and a half years ago, which followed chemotherapy, the City of Hope patient stopped taking ART in March 2021. He has now been in remission from both HIV and leukemia for more than a year, the team said.

On Wednesday, researchers in Spain also presented details of a 59-year-old woman who is one of a rare group of what is known as "post-treatment controllers". They can maintain undetectable viral loads after stopping ART, and also provide clues to a potential cure, Lewin said.

Monkeypox vaccine: US health regulators greenlight 800,000 more doses

 July 27, 2022     FOX NEWS, Health     No comments   

U.S. health regulators on Wednesday confirmed that 800,000 doses of the much-needed monkeypox vaccine will soon be available for distribution. 

The announcement comes nearly two weeks after the Food and Drug Administration said it had finished the necessary inspections at Bavarian Nordic's facility in Denmark, where the company fills vials of the vaccine. 

"Given the emerging public health need, FDA previously facilitated the shipment of manufactured doses to the U.S. so they would be ready to be distributed once the manufacturing changes were approved," the FDA said on Twitter after confirming that the certification had been finalized. 

The United States has already sent more than 310,000 doses of the two-shot Jynneos vaccine to state and local health departments. But clinics in San Francisco, New York and other major cities say they still don't have enough shots to meet demand.

NYC ASKS WHO TO RENAME MONKEYPOX DUE TO STIGMA

The head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said Wednesday that officials would announce more allocations on Thursday.

The monkeypox virus mainly spreads through skin-on-skin contact, but it can also transmit through touching linens used by someone with the infection. The vast majority of cases reported have been in men who have sex with men.

People with monkeypox might experience fever, body aches, chills and fatigue. Many people have developed zit-like bumps on their body.

The doses previously shipped came from a separate facility in Denmark that already had FDA clearance. Another 786,000 doses made at a newly opened Bavarian Nordic facility were awaiting the U.S. certification announced Wednesday.

The FDA requires inspections of all vaccine manufacturing plants to assure safety, sterility and consistency of production.

U.S. officials announced orders this month for 5 million more doses, though most of those are not expected to arrive until next year.

Officials have recommended that the shots be given to people who know or suspect they were exposed to monkeypox in the previous two weeks.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

NYC asks WHO to rename monkeypox due to stigma

 July 27, 2022     FOX NEWS, Health     No comments   

New York City's health department is calling on the World Health Organization (WHO) to immediately rename the monkeypox virus. 

In a letter to WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Gehebreyesus, Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan wrote that while the Big Apple remains concerned about rapidly increasing transmission and limited access to testing resources and vaccine supply, it has a "growing concern" for stigmatizing and "potentially devastating" impacts the messaging around monkeypox can have on vulnerable communities. 

"Therefore, I write to urge you to act immediately on renaming the ‘monkeypox’ virus as the WHO stated they would do during a June 14th press briefing, over [five] weeks ago. NYC joins many public health experts and community leaders who have expressed their serious concern about continuing to exclusively use the term ‘monkeypox’ given the stigma it may engender, and the painful and racist history within which terminology like this is rooted for communities of color," he said.

Tedros and the WHO declared last week that the international outbreak constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.

MONKEYPOX: WHAT YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT THE VIRUS — AND HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF

"Stigma and discrimination can be as dangerous as any virus," he told reporters.

Messaging surrounding monkeypox has divided officials, and Tedros announced in June that the United Nations health agency is working with experts to change the name. 

People normally become infected with the monkeypox virus through contact with the skin lesions or bodily fluids of infected animals or humans or through contact with materials contaminated with the virus.

Although most cases have been seen in gay or bisexual men, experts caution that anyone is at potential risk. 

A group of scientists wrote on a forum earlier in June that continued reference and nomenclature of the virus being African "is not only inaccurate but is also discriminatory and stigmatizing."

The virus has now spread to over 75 countries, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the majority of which have not historically reported monkeypox.

Per the WHO, monkeypox is endemic to countries in western and central Africa.

WHO DECLARES MONKEYPOX A GLOBAL HEALTH EMERGENCY

"'Monkeypox' is a misnomer, as the virus does not originate in monkeys and was only classified as such due to an infection seen in research primates," Vasan added.

Vasan said continuing to use the term "monkeypox" could reignite traumatic feelings of racism and stigma, particularly for the Black communities, other communities of color and members of the LGBTQIA+ communities. 

Vasan also noted that hate crimes against Asian and Pacific Islander (AAPI) individuals have exponentially increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, warning that additional consequences for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men could be brought about due to stigma.

"Words can save lives or put them at further risk; thus, the world cannot repeat these mistakes in nomenclature again," he said. "We are at a critical crossroads of the ‘monkeypox' outbreak – before understanding and awareness of the virus is spread more widely, but also at a time of increasing transmission where we need to be broadly messaging about primary prevention and risk. The WHO must act in this moment before it is too late. "

According to city data, as of Tuesday, 1,092 people tested for orthopoxvirus and monkeypox, but there are likely many more cases that have not been diagnosed.

Florida teen reportedly contracts 'brain-eating amoeba' after swimming

A Florida boy is said to have been hospitalized for contracting brain-eating amoeba otherwise known as, Naegleria fowleri – a potentially deadly parasite that attacks brain tissue – after he swam at a local beach.

Caleb Ziegelbauer, 13, had visited Port Charlotte Beach Park with his family in early July, according to a GoFundMe his aunts – Katie Chiet and Elizabeth Ziegelbaur – recently launched.

Five days after his visit Caleb reported having a headache and a day later he had a fever, the post said.

He was reportedly taken to the Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida in Ft. Myers on Saturday, July 9.

DEADLY BRAIN-EATING AMOEBA: WHAT TO KNOW

Florida Department of Health in Charlotte County told Fox News Digital that as of July 26, there are no confirmed positive cases of amoeba Naegleria fowleri in Charlotte County where Caleb was said to be swimming.

Chiet and Ziegelbaur wrote that Caleb was initially diagnosed with meningitis – which shares similarities with amoeba Naegleria fowleri – but later doctors discovered he had contracted the "brain-eating" amoebae, the post alleged.

Caleb was placed in the hospital’s pediatric intensive care unit, according to his aunts.

Fox News Digital reached out to media representatives at Lee Health – the healthcare system that operates the Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida – for comment.

The hospital declined to comment due to HIPAA.

Caleb began protocol treatment set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for amoeba Naegleria fowleri on Sunday, July 10, which involved sedation and intubation, Caleb's aunts shared on the GoFundMe page.

"[He] has been breathing on his own for almost a full week now," Chiet and Ziegelbaur wrote on GoFundMe. "His MRI scan from 7/20 continues to show damage in his brain but we remain hopeful that he'll turn the corner soon and make his way back to us."

CALIFORNIA BOY DIES AFTER CONTRACTING BRAIN-EATING AMOEBA WHILE SWIMMING

Caleb’s parents, brother and sister are said to be "safe" and appear to not have contracted the parasite.

By Sunday, July 24, Caleb reportedly received a chest x-ray and a unit of blood, according to a GoFundMe status update. He appears to still be undergoing care. 

Fox News Digital reached out to Chiet and Ziegelbaur for comment.

Naegleria fowleri is an amoeba that’s commonly found in warm fresh water and soil, according to the CDC.

Humans typically contract it after swimming or diving in lakes, rivers and hot spring, according to the CDC. Improperly chlorinated pools can also be a culprit, though it’s not as common.

BEACH IN IOWA CLOSED AFTER BRAIN-EATING AMOEBA CONFIRMED IN MISSOURIAN 

An amoeba thrives in warm temperatures (up to 115 degrees Fahrenheit) and enters the body through the nose when a person’s head is submerged in the water. 

Since Naegleria fowleri eats other organisms like bacteria, an amoeba can attack brain tissue if it’s not detected in time.

"Initial symptoms of [Naegleria fowleri] start about 5 days (range 1 to 12 days) after infection," the CDC says. "The initial symptoms may include headache, fever, nausea, or vomiting. Later symptoms can include stiff neck, confusion, lack of attention to people and surroundings, loss of balance, seizures, and hallucinations."

The CDC continued, "After the start of symptoms, the disease progresses rapidly and usually causes death within about 5 days (range 1 to 18 days)."

The health agency notes that "Naegleria fowleri occurrence is common, infections are rare," but recreational water users should assume that it’s present in warm freshwater throughout the country.

Out of 154 documented cases of Naegleria fowleri in the U.S., amoeba has a fatality rate that’s over 97%, according to the CDC.

Chiet and Ziegelbaur wrote that the family remains hopeful that Caleb can fight the infection. They started the GoFundMe to "take some burden off" his parents, who remain at his bedside.

Fox News Digital reached out to Charlotte County for comment on the presence of Naegleria fowleri in Port Charlotte Beach Park waters.

The CDC says people can limit their chance of contracting Naegleria fowleri by avoiding warm freshwater, swimming above water if it can’t be avoided and wearing a nose clip or holding their nose shut while swimming.

Omicron BA.5 spikes to 82% of COVID cases in US, says CDC

 July 27, 2022     FOX NEWS, Health     No comments   

The BA.5 subvariant of Omicron was estimated to make up 81.9% of the circulating coronavirus variants in the United States for the week ended July 23, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Tuesday.

This was higher than the 75.9% prevalence estimated in the preceding week.

BA.5 has been driving a surge of new infections globally and has shown to be particularly good at evading the immune protection afforded either by vaccination or prior infection.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BA.5, THE VACCINE-RESISTANT VARIANT OF OMICRON

Omicron subvariant BA.4 was estimated to make up 12.9% of the circulating variants in the United States, the data showed.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has asked vaccine manufacturers to target the two currently dominant subvariants for a potential fall season booster dose.

U.S. health officials are also urging people aged 50 or more to get a booster shot, adding that doing so would not prevent them from getting another "bivalent" booster designed to fend off Omicron more specifically later this year.

Monkeypox: What you must know about the virus — and how to protect yourself

 July 25, 2022     FOX NEWS, Health     No comments   

As the monkeypox virus becomes a health concern that Americans seem to hear about more and more, what are some of the best practices for avoiding the virus — and is it time to worry?

Fox News Digital talked on Monday with Dr. Marc Siegel, a physician and professor of medicine at the NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, and a Fox News contributor, about the monkeypox virus.

He said the virus is usually not serious, though the rash is "painful" and "can cause scarring," he said.

WHO DECLARES MONKEYPOX A GLOBAL HEALTH EMERGENCY

Dr. Siegel said that no one should get "in the gear of panic," as many people did with the COVID pandemic.

"I think it's difficult to contract," said Dr. Siegel about monkeypox. "I would just say be aware of close contact with people with a rash."

Saying that health officials still believe "it's mainly in the men-who-have-sex-with-men community," Siegel shared that that is currently their "main focus."

MONKEYPOX BY THE NUMBERS: FACTS ABOUT THE RARE VIRUS THAT'S CURRENTLY SPREADING

Dr. Siegel emphasized that, "given the difficulty of the spread of this thing, it's not going to be like another COVID."

"I'm calling for an emergency use authorization for TPOXX [an anti-viral drug], which works," Dr. Siegel said. "But you can't even get it now unless you sign up first for a protocol." 

There are two vaccines for monkeypox, said Siegel, "one that is the old live virus vaccine — that's a lot like a smallpox vaccine that I had as a kid," he added. 

"There's a national stockpile of that, that's over 100 million doses," he explained. 

"But the problem with that is we don't really want to be giving that unless we have a huge outbreak because it's a live virus vaccine" — and as such, it "has side effects."

There is also an "inactivated" vaccine called JYANNEOS. "That is the way to go," said Dr. Siegel.

The physician believes that a word of caution to the gay community is appropriate from health professionals, along with the advice to remain calm.

"Again, we don't want to panic, treating this like COVID," said Dr. Siegel. 

"I'm more concerned about sexual transmission at this point," he said.

MONKEYPOX MUTATING MORE THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT, EXPERTS SAY

Below is some key information and "best practices" when it comes to monkeypox, so that everyone can protect themselves as much as possible.

"Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus. Monkeypox virus is part of the same family of viruses as variola virus, the virus that causes smallpox," the CDC notes on its website.

Monkeypox symptoms are milder than smallpox symptoms — and monkeypox is rarely fatal. 

The virus is not related to chickenpox, says the CDC.

Monkeypox was discovered in 1958 when two outbreaks of a pox-like disease showed up in monkeys kept for research. 

Despite its name, the source of the disease is unknown. However, it is possible that African rodents and non-human primates (such as monkeys) might harbor the virus and infect people, the CDC says on its website.

Monkeypox symptoms include headache, muscle aches, exhaustion, fever, backache, the swelling of lymph nodes and chills — and, within one to three days, rash and lesions, according to the CDC.

The CDC shares many healthy actions all of us can take to limit contact and transmission of the disease.

Among these tips: Avoid close, skin-to-skin contact with people who have a rash.

Do not touch the rash or scabs of anyone who has monkeypox.

Do not share eating utensils, plates or cups with someone who has the virus.

WHITE HOUSE COVID ADVISER ADDRESSES CURRENT MONKEYPOX THREAT LEVEL

Do not handle or touch the bedding, towels or clothing of a person with monkeypox.

Wash your hands often with soap and water — or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

If you're in Central and West Africa, avoid contact with animals that might spread the virus. They would usually be rodents and primates. 

Also, avoid sick or dead animals, as well as the bedding or anything else they have touched, noted the CDC.

Isolate at home. Very close personal contact is another cause of the rapid spread of the virus. 

If you have an active rash or other symptoms, "stay in a separate room or area away from people or pets you live with, when possible," noted the CDC.

"I am going to keep up my COVID protocols to stay safe from monkeypox," a human resources professional from Kensington, Maryland — who recently recovered from COVID — told Fox News Digital after she heard about the CDC's best practices.

"I have COVID fatigue, but I also have common-sense habits I gained from it, too, that I will continue," she noted. 

"Wash your hands, keep healthy distances and up your housekeeping practices — both at home and at work."

Australia's health care system strained by record number of COVID patients as Omicron surges

 July 25, 2022     FOX NEWS, Health     No comments   

The number of Australians admitted to hospitals with COVID-19 hit a record of about 5,450 on Monday, official data showed, as the spread of highly contagious new Omicron subvariants strains the healthcare system nationwide.

The figure has grown since late June, as the BA.4 and BA.5 strains became dominant since they can evade immune protection, whether from vaccination or prior infection, while some experts say the latter can be as infectious as measles.

The number of those in hospitals is the highest since the emergence of the coronavirus, exceeding January's high of 5,390 during the first wave of Omicron infections. Daily death tolls have also risen, topping 100 on Saturday for the first time.

AUSTRALIA SEES SURGE IN COVID DEATHS WITH OMICRON OUTBREAK

More than 1,000 retirement homes have suffered outbreaks, the government said, as the elderly are largely affected.

With several aged care centers battling a shortage of staff, the support of defense personnel in such facilities is to be extended until the end of September, Defense Minister Richard Marles said.

"It is an extreme measure and it's right to describe it as that," he told ABC television. "Given the number of outbreaks that we've got right now, this is the right thing to do."

Many frontline workers in hospitals are also sick or in isolation, worsening the healthcare crisis.

During a harsh winter with both COVID-19 and the flu virus circulating, authorities have recommended the use of masks indoors and urgent booster doses of vaccine, while telling businesses to allow work from home.

NEW ZEALAND'S DEATH RATE FROM COVID AT RECORD HIGH IN WAKE OF OMICRON WAVE

Australia, one of the countries most heavily vaccinated against COVID-19, has given two doses to about 95% of those older than 16, although just about 71% have had booster shots.

Still, its tally of about 9.13 million infections and 11,181 deaths was lower than many developed economies.
