The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has updated its warning labels for the two most widely used COVID-19 vaccines — Pfizer and Moderna — to provide more detailed information about the rare risk of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. The condition has primarily been observed in younger males and was first identified shortly after the vaccines became widely available in 2021.<br /><br /><h4>More Detailed Labeling After FDA Request<br /></h4><br />Though both vaccine makers had already included myocarditis warnings in their prescribing information, the FDA formally asked them in April to expand these details. The agency can mandate label changes, but such updates are typically negotiated with drugmakers.<br /><br />The revised warning now estimates that 8 cases of myocarditis occur per 1 million people who received the 2023–2024 COVID vaccines in the age group of 6 months to 64 years. The update also clarifies that the risk is highest among males aged 12 to 24, a slight expansion from the earlier label, which focused on boys aged 12 to 17.<br /><br /><h4>Conflicting Findings Within U.S. Agencies<br /></h4><br />Interestingly, this update appears to contradict some earlier findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC had previously stated that, based on vaccine safety data through 2022, there was no significant increase in myocarditis risk linked to COVID-19 vaccines. They also pointed out that vaccine-related myocarditis cases tend to be mild and resolve quickly, especially when compared to heart inflammation caused by the COVID-19 infection itself.<br /><br /><h4>New Advisory Panel Brings Vaccine Scrutiny<br /></h4><br />The timing of the FDA’s label change aligns with broader shifts in vaccine policy under the leadership of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. A longtime vaccine skeptic, Kennedy recently dismissed all 17 members of the CDC's vaccine advisory panel and appointed a new group, some of whom have expressed anti-vaccine sentiments in the past. This week marked their first meeting, where ongoing use of COVID-19 vaccines, especially among vulnerable groups like pregnant women, was discussed.<br /><br /><h4>New Restrictions and Requirements Under Review<br /></h4><br />FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, appointed by Kennedy, has taken several steps to limit the scope of COVID-19 vaccine recommendations. Recently, he restricted annual COVID-19 booster shots to seniors and high-risk individuals. Makary has also suggested that seasonal updates to vaccines — meant to better match circulating virus strains — should be treated as entirely new products requiring additional clinical testing.<br /><br /><h4>Focus Should Be on Understanding Risk, Not Curtailing Vaccines<br /></h4><br />While acknowledging that myocarditis should not be dismissed, some public health experts believe the FDA’s latest approach is flawed. “We should be investigating who is prone to myocarditis to see if we can predict and mitigate that risk,” said Dr. Robert Morris, a public health specialist at the University of Washington. “They are right to raise the concern, but not with these broad warning changes," as reported by Associated Press. <br /><br />Makary and his team had previously questioned the government’s booster recommendations. In a 2022 paper, he and two FDA colleagues argued that mandating boosters for young people might lead to more harm than good, a position that diverged from CDC guidance at the time.<br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />

World Drug Day 2025

Drug abuse

World Drug Day is marked on June 26 every year. Also known as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, this day aims to strengthen action and cooperation in achieving a world free of drugs, notes the United Nations. <br /><br /><h4>History of World Drug Day<br /></h4><br />It was on December 7, 1987, when by the resolution 42/112. the General Assembly decided to observe 26 June as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking to achieve a society free of drug abuse. <br /><br /><h4>World Drug Day 2025 Theme<br /></h4><br />This year's theme is "The Evidence is Clear; Invest in Prevention." This theme highlights the urgent need to invest in preventative measures to address the world's drug problem. It also aims to create a long-lasting resilience against drug abuse.<br /><br /><strong>ALSO READ: <a href="https://www.healthandme.com/health-wellness/rfk-jr-opens-up-about-heroin-addiction-and-calls-for-focus-on-prevention-article-151489741" data-type="tilCustomLink">RFK Jr. Opens Up About Heroin Addiction and Calls for Focus on Prevention</a></strong> <br /><br /><h4>Importance of World Drug Day<br /></h4><br />Drug abuse is a global challenge and harms individual silently. It is often the reason why families break and communities weaken. The impact goes beyond addiction, causing a lasting physical, mental, and social damage. Furthermore, ATS, also known as the Amphetamine-Type Stimulants are synthetic drugs that harm the brain, heart, and nervous system. <br /><br />As per the 2024 report by UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), number of people who use drugs has risen to 292 million in 2022, a 20% increase over the 10 years. Cannabin remains the most widely used drug worldwide, with an estimate of 228 million users. It is followed by opioids with 60 million users, ATM with 30 million users, cocaine with 23 million users, and ecstasy with 20 million users.<br /><br /><strong>READ: <a href="https://www.healthandme.com/health-wellness/what-are-the-most-abused-drugs-in-the-us-article-151101843" data-type="tilCustomLink">What Are The Most Abused Drugs In The US?</a><br /></strong><br />The report notes that nitazenes, which is a group of synthetic opioids which can be even more potent than fentanyl, have recently emerged in several high-income countries, resulting in an increase in overdose deaths. <br /><br />Though an estimated 64 million people worldwide suffer from drug use disorders, only one in 11 is in treatment. Women receive less access to treatment than men, with only one in 18 women with drug use disorders in treatment versus one in seven men. <br /><br />These numbers show why is it important to observe World Drug Day, so a society free of drug abuse can be achieved. <br /><br /><h4>Drug Impact On Health<br /></h4><br />As per the notification released by Government of India on the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking 2025, here are the health issues that are caused by various drugs:<br /><br /><ul><li><strong>Methamphetamine (Meth): </strong>A crystal-like drug that severely damages the brain and heart.</li><li><strong>Cocaine:</strong> A white powder that can cause heart attacks and strong addiction.</li><li><strong>Mephedrone:</strong> A party drug that leads to anxiety, confusion and heart issues.</li><li><strong>Hashish:</strong> Made from cannabis, it affects memory and mental health.</li></ul><strong>YOU MAY LIKE TO READ: <a href="https://www.healthandme.com/health-news/matthew-perry-investigation-can-ketamine-kill-someone-article-151033259" data-type="tilCustomLink">Matthew Perry Investigation: Can Ketamine Kill Someone?</a></strong><br /><br />As per the National Institute on Drug Abuse's publication titled, Drugs, Brains, and Behavior: The Science of Addiction, people with addiction often have one or more associated health issues, which could include lung or heart disease, stroke, cancer, or mental health conditions. <br /><br />Furthermore, use of methamphetamine can cause severe dental problems, which is also known as meth mouth. The study notes, "in addition, some drugs, such as inhalants, may damage or destroy nerve cells, either in the brain or the peripheral nervous system (the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord)."<br /><br />Use of drugs can also increase the risk of contracting infections. The study notes: "HIV and hepatitis C (a serious liver disease) can occur from sharing injection equipment or from unsafe practices such as condom-less sex.40,41 Infection of the heart and its valves (endocarditis) and skin infection (cellulitis) can occur after exposure to bacteria by injection drug use."<br /><br /><strong>READ: <a href="https://www.healthandme.com/health-wellness/liam-payne-investigation-how-pink-cocaine-affects-you-article-151067570" data-type="tilCustomLink">Liam Payne Investigation: How Pink Cocaine Affects You?</a></strong><br /><br />Drugs can also cause mental illness and increase the symptoms of anxiety, depression, or even schizophrenia,, as it can trigger specific vulnerabilities. It can also impact pregnant or breastfeeding mother and her baby could go into withdrawal after it's born. This is called neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS).<br /><br />This year, not just with the theme, but with the campaign, "Break the cycle. #StopOrganizedCrime", the aim is to highlight the long-term action to break the cycle of drug abuse and its illicit trafficking by addressing root causes, investing in prevention, and building stronger health, education, and social systems.<br /><br /><strong>READ MORE: <a href="https://www.healthandme.com/health-wellness/national-anti-drug-day-2024-reintegrating-in-society-after-rehab-article-151043259" data-type="tilCustomLink">National Anti-Drug Addiction Day 2024: Reintegrating In Society After Rehab</a></strong> <br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />

Yoga and poses

Yoga is much more than just exercise, it's a practice that truly helps your whole self-feel better. Many people use yoga to ease everyday body aches and pains, but its benefits go even further. Doing yoga regularly can genuinely rejuvenate your energy, making you feel fresh and lively. <br /><br />For those dealing with uncomfortable bloating and gas, certain yoga poses offer a natural way to find relief, gently helping your digestion. This guide shares simple yet powerful yoga poses made to help you find comfort, boost your energy, and ease those digestive troubles. <br /><br /><br /><h2>Yoga Poses To Relieve Bloating <br /></h2><br />You can do these poses with or without a yoga mat. Some, like the bridge pose, are gentle stretches that stimulate your internal organs. Twist poses, like the spinal twist, gently massage your abdomen, which can be great for gas, bloating, and even constipation. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Knees Hugged to Chest (Apanasana) <br /></h4><br />This pose, known as "wind-relieving," can ease gas and bloating. Lie down, hug your knees to your chest on an exhale, and rock gently. Hold for 5-10 breaths. You can also do one leg at a time if that's more comfortable. Repeat as needed. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Spinal Twist <br /></h4><br />This twist gently massages your belly. Lie on your back, hug your knees, then drop them to the left as you exhale, turning your head right. Extend your right arm out. Hold for 5-10 breaths. Return to center and repeat on the other side.<br /> <br /><br /><h4>Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana) <br /></h4><br />This pose helps improve blood flow and can energize you. Lie on your back with bent knees, feet flat. Lift your hips towards the ceiling, stretching your chest. Lower your hips back down. Repeat as desired. For a deeper stretch, clasp your hands beneath your back. <br /><br /><br /><h4>One-Legged Seated Spinal Twist <br /></h4><br />Get more control with this seated twist. Sit with legs extended. Bend your right knee, placing the heel close. Place your right hand behind you. Use your left elbow to twist around your right knee. Hold for 5+ breaths, deepening with each exhale. Switch sides. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Seated Forward Bend Pose (Paschimottanasana) <br /></h4><br />This simple stretch helps you relax and can improve digestion. Sit with legs straight. Hinge forward from your hips, keeping your back straight, and lower your upper body towards your legs. Hold for 5-10 deep breaths. Go only as far as comfortable for a gentle stretch. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Seated Heart Opener <br /></h4><br />This pose stretches your belly and may relieve stomach cramps. Sit on your heels, lean back, placing hands behind you (fingers away). Press hands down, lift your chest, and gently arch your back. Feel hips pushing down. Hold for five breaths, then sit up. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Cat and Cow (Marjaryasana and Bitilasana) <br /></h4><br />Flowing between these poses warms your spine and releases back/neck tension. Start on hands and knees. Inhale for Cow Pose (arch back, lift head/tailbone). Exhale for Cat Pose (round spine, drop head). Connect breath to movement. Repeat several times. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Child's Pose (Balasana) <br /></h4><br />This resting pose offers a relaxing stretch. Sit on knees with legs wide. Lean forward, stretching arms in front, placing forehead on the floor. Keep your back straight. Hold for five or more breaths. You can use a pillow or block under your head for comfort. <br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />

The Tell-Tale Early Sign Of Dementia That You Spot On Paper

Early Sign Of Dementia

Lesser known Symptom of Dementia

Early Diagnosis for dementia

Dementia is a general term that is used to define a multitude of cognitive degenerative illnesses like Lewy body dementia, Alzheimer's disease, etc. Alzheimer’s diseases is the most common form of dementia and while researchers have been looking for ways to treat it, there still is no way to cure it completely, the only way to treat dementia is by managing its symptoms. <br /><br /><br /><h2>Lesser-known Symptom of Dementia <br /></h2><br />Doctors often talk about common signs of dementia, like memory loss. But an expert says a lesser-known symptom could appear in something as simple as a birthday card, potentially being one of the first signs of Alzheimer's disease. <br /><br />If someone starts having trouble reading and writing, especially if they never did before, it could be an early sign of a certain condition. This idea is backed up by a 2020 study published in the Intelligent Data Analysis, which explains that some conditions affect how your brain and muscles work, leading to memory issues and confusion. Since writing involves both your brain and muscle control, it's often one of the first things to change, becoming shaky and harder to read over time. <br /><br /><br /><h2>Other Subtle Signs to Watch For <br /></h2><br />Besides changes in handwriting also highlight some other less obvious, but important, signs of dementia that you should keep an eye out for. These can include a loved one no longer enjoying foods they used to like or starting to shuffle their feet when they walk. You might also notice them using the wrong words when they speak, frequently being late for things, forgetting names and faces of people they know well, or even getting lost in places that are familiar to them. <br /><br /><br /><h2>What to Do If You Notice Changes <br /></h2><br />If you start to see any of these signs in someone you care about, Michael suggests it's important to talk to them openly about what you've noticed. Gently bring up your concerns and suggest that they make an appointment with their doctor to discuss these symptoms. This conversation with a medical professional will help guide both you and your loved one on the best way to move forward and get the right support. <br /><br /><br /><h2>Why Early Diagnosis Matters <br /></h2><br />The Degenerative Neurological and Neuromuscular Disease journal explains that currently, there aren't any treatments that can fix the brain changes caused by Alzheimer's. But, we might be able to stop or slow down dementia in some individuals by helping them avoid common risk factors like unhealthy habits. Even without a cure, finding out early is super helpful. It gives the person and their family enough time to plan for the future and make important choices, and it also lets them get treatments that can help manage symptoms. <br /><br /><br /><h2>Role of Healthcare and Prevention <br /></h2><br />Your regular doctor or other primary healthcare professionals play a huge part! They can help figure out who might be at risk for Alzheimer's. They can also suggest lifestyle changes when people are in their middle-age years, which can stop or slow down the disease. Plus, they are crucial for making a timely diagnosis when symptoms first appear. The best strategy is to step in early, because it helps people keep their ability to function and live independently for a longer time. <br /><br /> <br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />
