Patients who express greater difficulty, inconvenience, and dissatisfaction with their phosphate binder regimen have higher serum phosphorus levels and, for unclear reasons, worse survival rates, a new study finds. Investigators surveyed 895 patients on hemodialysis from Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK who participated in the 2016-2018 Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) about their satisfaction with their phosphate binders. Patients gave responses on a 5-point Likert scale. For analyses, responses were grouped into average, better, or worse. Compared with those who gave better scores, patients who gave average or worse scores had increased odds of serum phosphorus levels of 6.0 mg/dL or greater, Keith McCullough, MS, of Arbor Research Collaborative for Health in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and colleagues reported in Clinical Kidney Journal . Patients who gave negative responses to questions about phosphate binder difficulty, inconvenience, and diss...

Stay-at-home orders, coupled with a fear of exposure to COVID-19, seemingly kept many people confined at home and out of the arms of unknown partners throughout much of 2020. But in a counterintuitive twist, experts are warning of a probable—and alarming—increase in cases of sexually transmitted infections in the United States. The main concern is that the pandemic hampered testing efforts for diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis during the past two years. Testing is a critical part of controlling the spread of these infections, in part because both chlamydia and gonorrhea can initially appear without any symptoms. Between 2015 and 2019, documented cases of all three diseases had increased by 30 percent. Then, from 2019 to 2020, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data suggested that chlamydia cases dropped by 14 percent, while cases of primary and secondary stages of syphilis experienced a modest decline of 0.9 percent. But experts now say this dip was not real, ...

DeSantis addresses revocation of emergency use authorization for monoclonal antibody treatments Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis blasted the Biden administration after the FDA abruptly revoked the emergency use authorization for the monoclonal antibody treatments the state had been using, forcing Florida to close its treatment sites and cancel thousands of appointments. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The state of Florida has closed its monoclonal antibody sites after the FDA abruptly revoked the drug's emergency-use authorization. On Tuesday alone, state officials said they canceled at least 2,000 appointments for those scheduled to get the treatment.

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, observed to increase recognition and understanding of the disease which claims the lives of approximately 300,000 women worldwide annually, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). An estimated 570,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer globally, making it the fourth most common cancer in women, WHO states. The top three cancers diagnosed in women are breast, colorectal and lung. The American Cancer Society estimates more than 14,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer this year, and about 4,300 of them will die from the disease. Cervical cancer was once one of the most common causes of cancer deaths for American women, but the death rate for the disease has declined with increased use of the Pap test, the American Cancer Society added. The Papanicolaou test, commonly called the Pap test or Pap smear, is a method...

Just after 1 p.m. on Tuesday last week, my phone buzzed with a text message from my mother: "Well, came down with cold, aches, cough etc over wknd." She had taken an at-home coronavirus test. It was positive. Having spent the past year writing about Covid-19 vaccines and treatments for The New York Times, I knew a lot about the options available to people like my mother. Yet I was about to go on a seven-hour odyssey that would show me there was a lot I didn't grasp. My mother, Mary Ann Neilsen, is fully vaccinated, including a booster shot, which sharply reduced the odds that she would become seriously ill from the virus. But she has several risk factors that worried me. She's 73. She has twice beaten breast cancer. Her age and cancer history made her eligible to receive the latest treatments that have been shown to stave off the worst outcomes from Covid. The trouble, as I knew from my reporting, was that these treatments — including monoclonal antibody infusions and...

However, a study conducted mid-2021 reported those with HIV who abused drugs and have not had dental care experience a greater need of care. Those living with HIV and who abuse drugs experience worse health outcomes than those who aren't using. However, a study conducted mid-2021 reported those with HIV who abused drugs and have not had dental care use, experience a greater need of care. With or without dental care, folks who have HIV and use drugs experience worse health outcomes than their non-using counterparts because substance use can speed disease progression, affect adherence to antiretroviral therapy, and worsen the overall consequences of HIV. The clinical trial, Project HOPE (Hospital as Opportunity for Prevention and Engagement for HIV Infected Drug Users) sought to improve engagement in HIV outcomes, according to researcher and co-author of the study, Anthony J.
