Breakdancers may risk 'headspin hole' caused by repetitive headspins, doctors warn

Breakdancers may be at risk of developing a condition caused by repeatedly doing a cardinal move of their practice and performance-the headspin-warn doctors in the journal BMJ Case Reports.

Dubbed the ‘headspin hole,’ or ‘breakdance bulge,’ the condition is unique to breakdancers, and appears as a protruding lump on the scalp, often accompanied by hair loss and tenderness.

Breakdancers may be at risk of developing a condition caused by repeatedly doing a cardinal move of their practice and performance-the headspin-warn doctors in the journal BMJ Case Reports.

Dubbed the ‘headspin hole,’ or ‘breakdance bulge,’ the condition is unique to breakdancers, and appears as a protruding lump on the scalp, often accompanied by hair loss and tenderness.

Breakdancers are particularly prone to injuries because of the complexities and physical demands of the moves, note the authors. Sprains, strains, and tendinitis are particularly common. Head and brain injuries, including subdural haematomas (pooling of blood between the skull and the brain), have also been reported.

Prolonged breakdancing often leads to ‘breakdancer overuse syndrome’ which includes various conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and swollen and inflamed tendons (tenosynovitis) as well as hair loss and scalp irritation, add the authors.

They treated a man in his early 30s with a growth on his scalp. The man said that he had performed various types of headspin manoeuvres for more than19 years.

He practised his moves 5 times a week for around 1.5 hours a time. During these sessions direct pressure was applied to the top of his head for between 2 and 7 minutes.

Despite hair loss and a burgeoning lump on his head, he continued to practise headspins, but was prompted to act when the lump started to grow a lot larger and his scalp began to feel tender.

A head scan revealed thickening of the skin, tissue, and skull around the lump, but no obvious signs of cancer, which was confirmed on biopsy.

The lump was removed, but the surrounding skin tissue remained thickened. Nevertheless, the man was happy with the result and felt able to go out in public once again without having to wear a cap.

This report represents just one case, and details of only one other have been published to date, so the findings should be interpreted in this context.

But the authors conclude: “This case underscores the importance of recognising chronic scalp conditions in breakdancers and suggests that surgical intervention can be an effective treatment.”

Bird flu concerns mount as California reports more human cases

Concerns about bird flu — officially known as avian influenza A (H5) — continue to mount, particularly in California.

As of Oct. 14, the state has had six confirmed and five possible human cases of bird flu, according to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).

All of the affected individuals reportedly had direct contact with infected cattle at nine dairy farms, the department stated. 

FIRST CASE OF HUMAN BIRD FLU DIAGNOSED WITHOUT EXPOSURE TO INFECTED ANIMALS, CDC SAYS

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is conducting tests to confirm the five possible cases.

All the individuals experienced "mild symptoms," including eye redness or discharge (conjunctivitis), the CDPH stated. None were hospitalized. 

There is not a concern at this point about human-to-human transmission, according to the agency.

"Given the amount of exposure to infected cows, evidence continues to suggest only animal-to-human spread of the virus in California," said the CDPH statement. 

"Additionally, based on CDC’s genomic sequencing of three California bird flu cases, there is no evidence to suggest an increased ability for the virus to infect or spread between people and no known reduced susceptibility to antiviral medications."

IN A POTENTIAL OUTBREAK, IS BIRD FLU TESTING AVAILABLE FOR HUMANS? WHAT TO KNOW

As of Oct. 15, there were a total of 20 confirmed human cases of bird flu in the U.S., according to the CDC.

Colorado and California have had the most cases, with others reported in Michigan, Missouri and Texas, the same source stated.

Roughly half of those were linked to exposure to infected cattle and the other half to infected poultry

"To a large extent, the higher numbers we are seeing in California, and previously in Colorado, are due to more aggressive monitoring and case finding efforts in those states, rather than necessarily reflecting a larger burden of disease," Shira Doron, M.D., chief infection control officer at Tufts Medicine Health System in Boston, told Fox News Digital.

"California has one of the more comprehensive programs to find avian influenza in its cattle herds, and when they find sick cows, they monitor exposed farm workers," she went on.

"The disease has been mostly very mild, so it will only be detected if looked for."

It’s not known whether the strain that is causing avian flu in cows will ever mutate into a strain that can be spread from human to human, according to Doron.

"Right now, with no evidence of human-to-human spread, it does not have the potential to become a human pandemic, but that could change," she told Fox News Digital.

"Obviously, scientists and public health officials should be concerned, and should take action to limit the spread of this disease in farm animals."

BIRD FLU PANDEMIC IN FUTURE? EU WARNS OF POTENTIAL SPREAD TO HUMANS DUE TO 'LACK OF IMMUNE DEFENSE’

Farm owners and farm workers should also be concerned, she said.

"They should be taking measures to protect those who work closely with animals, especially cows and chickens," Doron advised.

Sam Scarpino, PhD, director of AI and life sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, said he finds the rising number of human H5N1 cases "concerning."

"The more spillovers to humans, the more chances there are for the wrong variant to find itself in a person and spark an epidemic," he told Fox News Digital.

There's currently no evidence, however, that the virus has mutated to become more infectious in humans, Scarpino said.

"Most likely, we are seeing the impact of an increasing number of infected dairy farms leading to an increasing number of human infections," he said.

"California also has active efforts for both human and dairy cattle surveillance, so ascertainment may be higher than in other states."

Although experts say the risk for human-to-human transmission remains low, they recommend certain public health precautions

"People who have close contact with animals, particularly farm animals and wild birds, should be taking precautions," Doron advised. 

CDC, WEBMD GIVE UPDATE ON CURRENT BIRD FLU OUTBREAK

The CDC also recommends that farm workers wear personal protective equipment — such as gloves, goggles and face shields — and that farms follow guidance to prevent the spread of the virus between animals.

"Even if a large outbreak isn't sparked, the risk to farm workers is clearly higher, and we need to ensure they are protected," Scarpino told Fox News Digital.

"At this point, there's no excuse for a farm worker to die from an H5N1 infection."

It’s also important for people to get their seasonal flu shot, experts say.

"While it is not likely to protect against avian flu, it will help people avoid being infected with the seasonal and avian strain at the same time, which can lead to genetic mixing and emergence of a pandemic strain," said Doron.

Getting the flu vaccine also makes it less likely that someone will end up with a suspected case of avian flu as a result of having the seasonal flu and a history of animal exposure, she added.

Vaccines for bird flu are currently in development.

"It is not time to vaccinate more broadly yet, given the small number of cases, absence of proven human-to-human transmission and mostly mild infection," said Doron.

It is important for tests to be commercially available for avian flu, however.

"Seasonal flu cases will be rising soon, and we will need to distinguish quickly between regular flu and avian flu, especially in animal workers," Doron noted.

"Right now, to test for avian flu, specimens have to go to special public health labs and the results take days to return. We are going to need answers more quickly if we want people to be able to properly isolate and prevent spread."

The CDPH recommends that California residents monitor for bird flu symptoms for 10 days after exposure.

Those include eye redness (conjunctivitis), sore throat, cough, runny or stuffy nose, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle or body aches, fatigue, headaches, trouble breathing and fever.

"If they start to feel sick, they should immediately isolate, notify their local public health department, and work with public health and health care providers to get timely testing and treatment," the agency advises on its website.

Major changes aimed at reducing NCDs to be rolled out

The government is set to unveil sweeping changes to the island’s primary healthcare system in a bid to slash rates of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), Minister of Health Senator Jerome Walcott has revealed.

 

The government is set to unveil sweeping changes to the island’s primary healthcare system in a bid to slash rates of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), Minister of Health Senator Jerome Walcott has revealed.

 

Speaking at a ceremony honouring Sir Trevor Hassell for his work in NCD education, Walcott announced that the Ministry of Health is on the cusp of rolling out significant reforms aimed at reducing premature adult mortality from lifestyle diseases by a third.

 

The planned reforms are part of a broader initiative aimed at improving healthcare outcomes by focusing on early detection and prevention, rather than relying on tertiary care.

 

“I have a personal mandate that we should try to reduce the premature adult mortality from NCDs by a third. It is not impossible, it can be done, and in the course of the next few weeks, you will gradually see a rollout of parts of this process,” he said.

 

He highlighted that the reforms would include improvements in early prevention and detection systems.

 

“Everybody is focused on QEH and tertiary healthcare, but the fundamentals of healthcare have to do with primary healthcare – the ability of early prevention, and detection to get better health outcomes. We are looking at that in a project to be discussed soon,” Walcott added.

 

He also revealed that new screening programmes for various NCDs and cancers would soon be introduced. These include a colonic screening process, initially at two polyclinics, with plans to expand the service later. Additionally, cervical cancer screening and mammography services will be reinstated at the QEH, after having been discontinued in 2008.

 

“We are looking at the protocols for prostate cancer, recognising the anxiety of men as it comes to testing,” Walcott noted.

 

Sir Trevor, a former president of the Healthy Caribbean Coalition, welcomed the recognition but stressed the ongoing work needed to combat NCDs. He called for the NCD Commission to take a more active role in policy decisions and to engage the private sector in promoting healthier lifestyles for Barbadians.

 

He said: “What the commission now needs to do in terms of fostering, facilitating, educating, encouraging [persons] are three fundamental things. Firstly, to assist in what I call the challenging political and policy decisions that need to be made around NCD prevention and treatment. Secondly, the commission is well-positioned to encourage, facilitate, and advocate for the private sector to play a more fundamental role in contributing to NCD prevention and control. Thirdly, yes, there is that role for the commission still to empower the people of Barbados by assisting them in becoming more health literate.”

Harris apoya la reducción de la deuda médica. Los “conceptos” de Trump preocupan a defensores.

Defensores de pacientes y consumidores confían en que Kamala Harris acelere los esfuerzos federales para ayudar a las personas que luchan con deudas médicas, si gana en las elecciones presidenciales del próximo mes.

Y ven a la vicepresidenta y candidata demócrata como la mejor esperanza para preservar el acceso de los estadounidenses a seguros de salud. La cobertura integral que limita los costos directos de los pacientes es la mejor defensa contra el endeudamiento, dicen los expertos.

La administración Biden ha ampliado las protecciones financieras para los pacientes, incluyendo una propuesta histórica de la Oficina de Protección Financiera del Consumidor (CFPB) para eliminar la deuda médica de los informes de crédito de los consumidores.

En 2022, el presidente Joe Biden también firmó la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación, que limita cuánto deben pagar los afiliados de Medicare por medicamentos recetados, incluyendo un tope de $35 al mes para la insulina. Y en legislaturas de todo el país, demócratas y republicanos han trabajado juntos de manera discreta para promulgar leyes que frenen a los cobradores de deudas.

Sin embargo, defensores dicen que el gobierno federal podría hacer más para abordar un problema que afecta a 100 millones de estadounidenses, obligando a muchos a trabajar más, perder sus hogares y reducir el gasto en alimentos y otros artículos esenciales.

“Biden y Harris han hecho más para abordar la crisis de deuda médica en este país que cualquier otra administración”, dijo Mona Shah, directora senior de política y estrategia en Community Catalyst, una organización sin fines de lucro que ha liderado los esfuerzos nacionales para fortalecer las protecciones contra la deuda médica. “Pero hay más por hacer y debe ser una prioridad para el próximo Congreso y administración”.

Al mismo tiempo, los defensores de los pacientes temen que si el ex presidente Donald Trump gana un segundo mandato, debilitará las protecciones de los seguros permitiendo que los estados recorten sus programas de Medicaid o reduciendo la ayuda federal para que los estadounidenses compren cobertura médica. Eso pondría a millones de personas en mayor riesgo de endeudarse si enferman.

En su primer mandato, Trump y los republicanos del Congreso intentaron en 2017 derogar la Ley de Cuidado de Salud a Bajo Precio (ACA), un movimiento que, según analistas independientes, habría despojado de cobertura médica a millones de estadounidenses y habría aumentado los costos para las personas con afecciones preexistentes, como diabetes y cáncer.

Trump y sus aliados del Partido Republicano continúan atacando a ACA, y el ex presidente ha dicho que quiere revertir la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación, que también incluye ayuda para que los estadounidenses de bajos y medianos ingresos compren seguros de salud.

“Las personas enfrentarán una ola de deuda médica por pagar primas y precios de medicamentos recetados”, dijo Anthony Wright, director ejecutivo de Families USA, un grupo de consumidores que ha apoyado las protecciones federales de salud. “Los pacientes y el público deberían estar preocupados”.

La campaña de Trump no respondió a consultas sobre su agenda de salud. Y el ex presidente no suele hablar de atención médica o deuda médica en la campaña, aunque dijo en el debate del mes pasado que tenía “conceptos de un plan” para mejorar la ACA. Trump no ha ofrecido detalles.

Harris ha prometido repetidamente proteger ACA y renovar los subsidios ampliados para las primas mensuales del seguro creados por la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación. Esa ayuda está programada para expirar el próximo año.

La vicepresidenta también ha expresado su apoyo a un mayor gasto gubernamental para comprar y cancelar deudas médicas antiguas de los pacientes. En los últimos años, varios estados y ciudades han comprado deuda médica en nombre de sus residentes.

Estos esfuerzos han aliviado la deuda de cientos de miles de personas, aunque muchos defensores dicen que cancelar deudas antiguas es, en el mejor de los casos, una solución a corto plazo, ya que los pacientes seguirán acumulando facturas que no pueden pagar sin una acción más sustantiva.

“Es un bote con un agujero”, dijo Katie Berge, una cabildera de la Sociedad de Leucemia y Linfoma. Este grupo de pacientes fue una de más de 50 organizaciones que el año pasado enviaron cartas a la administración Biden instando a las agencias federales a tomar medidas más agresivas para proteger a los estadounidenses de la deuda médica.

“La deuda médica ya no es un problema de nicho”, dijo Kirsten Sloan, quien trabaja en política federal para la Red de Acción contra el Cáncer de la Sociedad Americana de Cáncer. “Es clave para el bienestar económico de millones de estadounidenses”.

La Oficina de Protección Financiera del Consumidor está desarrollando regulaciones que prohibirían que las facturas médicas aparezcan en los informes de crédito de los consumidores, lo que mejoraría los puntajes crediticios y facilitaría que millones de estadounidenses alquilen una vivienda, consigan un trabajo o consigan un préstamo para un automóvil.

Harris, quien ha calificado la deuda médica como “crítica para la salud financiera y el bienestar de millones de estadounidenses”, apoyó con entusiasmo la propuesta de regulación. “No se debería privar a nadie del acceso a oportunidades económicas simplemente porque experimentó una emergencia médica”, dijo en junio.

El compañero de fórmula de Harris, el gobernador de Minnesota, Tim Walz, quien ha dicho que su propia familia luchó con la deuda médica cuando era joven, firmó en junio una ley estatal que reprime el cobro de deudas.

Los funcionarios de la CFPB dijeron que las regulaciones se finalizarán a principios del próximo año. Trump no ha indicado si seguiría adelante con las protecciones contra la deuda médica. En su primer mandato, la CFPB hizo poco para abordarla, y los republicanos en el Congreso han criticado durante mucho tiempo a la agencia reguladora.

Si Harris gana, muchos grupos de consumidores quieren que la CFPB refuerce aún más las medidas, incluyendo una mayor supervisión de las tarjetas de crédito médicas y otros productos financieros que los hospitales y otros proveedores médicos han comenzado a ofrecer a los pacientes. Por estos préstamos, las personas están obligadas a pagar intereses adicionales sobre su deuda médica.

“Estamos viendo una variedad de nuevos productos financieros médicos”, dijo April Kuehnhoff, abogada senior del Centro Nacional de Derecho del Consumidor. “Estos pueden generar nuevas preocupaciones sobre las protecciones al consumidor, y es fundamental que la CFPB y otros reguladores supervisen a estas empresas”.

Algunos defensores quieren que otras agencias federales también se involucren.

Esto incluye al enorme Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos (HHS), que controla cientos de miles de millones de dólares a través de los programas de Medicare y Medicaid. Ese dinero otorga al gobierno federal una enorme influencia sobre los hospitales y otros proveedores médicos.

Hasta ahora, la administración Biden no ha utilizado esa influencia para abordar la deuda médica.

Pero en un posible anticipo de futuras acciones, los líderes estatales en Carolina del Norte recientemente obtuvieron la aprobación federal para una iniciativa de deuda médica que obligará a los hospitales a tomar medidas para aliviar las deudas de los pacientes a cambio de ayuda gubernamental. Harris elogió la iniciativa.

Opinion: Mark Cuban has no doubt he can disrupt health care

If it weren’t for Martin Shkreli, better known as the Pharma Bro, Mark Cuban might not have gone into the drug business.

That’s what he told me in this week’s episode of the “First Opinion Podcast.” He first started speaking with Alex Oshmyansky — the radiologist who would become his co-founder in Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs — around when Shkreli was heading to prison. Cuban asked about how Shkreli radically raised the price of Daraprim, and the answered startled him. According to Cuban, Oshmyansky said, “‘Well, he can buy it and sell it for whatever he wants, particularly since he’s got an exclusive on the manufacturing.’ I’m like, ‘that’s insane. Let me dig some more in.’ And it became quickly obvious that the pharmacy industry is as opaque as any industry … I’ve ever been involved with, and that the easiest way to counteract opacity is transparency.”
