New Study Suggests Anemia Increases Death Risk With Strokes

Description

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 17, 2016 -- Older stroke victims suffering from anemia -- a lack of red blood cells -- may have higher odds of dying, researchers report. Among thousands of stroke patients, those who were anemic had a 1.5 to two times higher risk of dying within a year compared with patients without anemia, said Dr. Phyo Myint, lead researcher on the new study. "There is no clear evidence to suggest treating anemia will prevent stroke, but like in many other conditions, people with anemia should find out why they are anemic and treat the cause if possible," said Myint.

  • Study: Feeding Babies This Type Of Formula Significantly Increases Asthma Risk

    It's often said that 'breast is best,' and now, new research from Japan reveals another reason mothers may choose to pass on cow's milk-based formula. Japanese research says infants who receive cow's milk-based formula in addition to breast milk are nearly twice as likely to develop asthma or recurrent wheeze. Specifically, among infants who received milk formula as a supplement to breastfeeding from birth to 5 months, 18% developed asthma or recurrent wheezing. But just 10% of the infants who were either breastfed only, or who received breast milk plus amino acid-based elemental formula, had such problems. The researchers suggest that human breast milk may contain certain unknown nutrients that bolster babies' immune systems and gut bacteria.
