Photo: Laura KammermannAdvisers to the Food and Drug Administration recommended making an oral contraceptive available without a prescription for the first time, potentially widening access to birth control for women across the country. The panel of FDA advisers voted 17 to 0 on Wednesday that there was enough evidence for the agency to approve the medication’s sale over-the-counter. The FDA, which is expected to make a final decision this summer, doesn’t have to follow the expert panel’s advice, though it often does.

A bariatric surgery can benefit children as young as 13, according to guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Photo: Luis Robayo/Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesMore children are getting stomach surgery to help them lose weight, the most drastic of measures doctors are recommending to confront relentlessly rising obesity rates. Many of the young people who undergo bariatric surgery didn’t lose weight through diet, exercise or weight-loss drugs. Bariatric surgery can be a faster, more lasting fix for patients with severe obesity, researchers and pediatricians said.
☆ Autism Diagnoses Among Younger Children Dropped During the Pandemic
  + stars: | 2023-03-24 | by ( Sarah Toy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The CDC plans to monitor children in communities included in the study as they get older to assess the pandemic’s impacts. A yearslong rise in autism screening and detection among young children reversed course during the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic, federal officials said, with possible long-term ramifications for children’s development and behavior. Doctors and school staff were detecting more young children with autism before the pandemic than in the past, officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. In the six months before March 2020, there were 1.89 more autism diagnoses per 1,000 4-year-olds than four years earlier, they said, pointing to a CDC study looking at data from health and education records in 11 communities across the U.S.
☆ Why Is the Maternal Mortality Rate So High in the U.S.?
  + stars: | 2023-03-17 | by ( Sarah Toy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Public-health officials and physicians think that Covid-19 pushed maternal mortality rates higher in 2020 and 2021. Maternal mortality rates in the U.S. surged in 2021 to their highest level since 1965, as Covid-19 exacerbated longstanding problems including access to care and heart health. Here’s what we know about maternal mortality in the U.S.How is a maternal death defined? The World Health Organization defines a maternal death as the death of a woman while she is pregnant or up to 42 days after pregnancy. Maternal mortality refers to the number of maternal deaths for every 100,000 live births.
☆ U.S. Maternal Mortality Hits Highest Level Since 1965
  + stars: | 2023-03-16 | by ( Sarah Toy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Maternal-death rates are higher in the U.S. than in any other high-income country. Maternal deaths surged to the highest rate in nearly 60 years, data showed, exacerbating a yearslong trend that has made the U.S. the most dangerous place among high-income countries to give birth. The number of women who died during pregnancy or shortly after rose 40% to 1,205 in 2021, compared with 861 in 2020 and 754 in 2019, the National Center for Health Statistics said Thursday. The increase pushed the maternal-mortality rate to 33 deaths per 100,000 live births, the highest since 1965, compared with 24 in 2020 and 20 in 2019.
☆ What Do We Actually Know About Covid-19? Not Enough
  + stars: | 2023-03-13 | by ( Sarah Toy | Brianna Abbott | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
In the three years since Covid-19 surfaced in the U.S., most Americans have been infected and are largely back to their prepandemic routines and workaday lives. Scientists, still in the dark about what the virus will do in the long term, warn it is too early to sound the all clear. Despite the success of a global effort to decode the SARS-CoV-2 virus and create vaccines and treatments to combat it, there remains uncertainty about how the virus will behave, the path of its mutations and Covid-19’s long-term effects.
☆ Cake Could Be the Secret to Teaching Children About Healthy-Eating Habits
  + stars: | 2023-02-27 | by ( Sarah Toy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Offering cake as well as other sweets and snacks may protect against dysfunctional eating behaviors. Crystal Karges celebrated her youngest daughter’s fifth birthday last month with a gooey chocolate cake covered in white frosting and rainbow sprinkles. The next morning, she served her five children the leftover slices at breakfast alongside fruit, eggs, sausage and milk. Ms. Karges is among parents, dietitians and doctors who advocate giving children more freedom over what they eat including, at times, high-sugar, high-fat and highly processed foods. They said the approach helps children develop healthy dietary habits and protect against disordered eating—or dysfunctional eating behaviors—which affects more than 20% of children globally, according to a recent meta-analysis in the journal JAMA Pediatrics.

☆ Eye Drops May Stave Off Nearsightedness in Children
  + stars: | 2023-02-14 | by ( Sarah Toy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Myopia tends to progress most quickly in very young children and tapers off after puberty. Drops commonly used to dilate pupils before eye exams could stave off nearsightedness in children, researchers said. Using low-concentration atropine eye drops in children could delay the onset of myopia, or nearsightedness, according to research published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Severe myopia puts people at greater risk of sight-threatening issues, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma and cataracts, eye doctors say. About one-third of the U.S. population is myopic, and eye researchers expect the number will increase to almost 60% by 2050, as people spend more time on their phones and indoors on their computers.
☆ Teen Girls Experiencing Record Levels of Sadness and Suicide Risk, CDC Says
  + stars: | 2023-02-13 | by ( Sarah Toy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Nearly three out of five high-school girls in the U.S. who were surveyed reported feelings of persistent sadness or hopelessness in 2021, a roughly 60% increase over the past decade, new research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found. Though both high-school girls and boys reported experiencing mental-health challenges, girls reported record high levels of violence, sadness and suicide risk, the CDC said. In 2021, 57% of high-school girls reported experiencing persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness in the past year, compared with 36% in 2011. Thirty percent reported they seriously considered attempting suicide in 2021, up from 19% in 2011.
☆ Child Vaccination Rates Have Dropped, CDC Says
  + stars: | 2023-01-12 | by ( Sarah Toy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Rates of routine immunization have declined among young children, federal researchers said, in part because of disruptions in healthcare access during the Covid pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report on Thursday that uptake of state-mandated vaccines fell slightly during the 2021-2022 school year among kindergartners. Another study showed a decline in vaccination coverage by age 2 among children who lived in rural areas or below the federal poverty line.

Children 12 and older who are obese should be offered weight-loss medications alongside lifestyle and behavioral counseling, according to new American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines. The American Academy of Pediatrics for the first time recommended physicians offer weight-loss drugs for children with obesity, aiming to take early action against an increasingly common condition linked to a host of health problems. Children 12 or older who are obese should be offered medications for weight loss alongside lifestyle and behavioral counseling, according to guidelines published on Monday by the largest professional association of pediatricians in the U.S. The association also recommended that doctors offer to refer severely obese children 13 or older to surgeons to assess whether they would be good candidates for bariatric surgery. It said pediatricians should screen obese children for high cholesterol, diabetes and hypertension.

  + stars: | 2023-01-04 | by ( Sarah Toy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
School closures, social isolation and other hardships during the peak years of the Covid pandemic have hurt young people’s mental health. Regular exercise can alleviate symptoms of depression in children, a new analysis showed. International researchers who published their analysis this week in JAMA Pediatrics reviewed 21 studies to determine whether physical activity was associated with a decline in depressive symptoms in children. In the studies, which included data from more than 2,400 young children and adolescents, exercise sessions encompassed activities including sports and simple aerobics such as running or jumping.
