Heart Disease Runs in My Family. Will I Develop It Too? The short answer from a cardiologist Q: Heart disease runs in my family. Will I develop it too? A: There’s tremendous power in living a healthy lifestyle.... A recent study looked at genetic risk for developing heart disease. The participants were at 90% higher risk of having a heart attack or stroke. But when they lived a healthy lifestyle meaning they exercised, ate a healthy diet, maintained a lean body weight and didn’t smoke they were able to reduce that risk drastically by about 50%. And that doesn’t even account for blood pressure control and cholesterol control. So even if you have the deck stacked against you, you have the power to take control of your life and live a healthy life. Cardiologist Leslie Cho, MD

Can Vaccinated People Gather in Small Groups Without Face Masks? The short answer from an infectious disease specialist FACEBOOKTWITTERLINKEDINPINTERESTEmail two elderly woman socialize after being vaccinated Q: If I’m fully vaccinated, can I gather with friends and family who are also already fully vaccinated?... A: Yes, but there are stipulations. The CDC recently announced guidelines on public health recommendations for Americans fully vaccinated from COVID-19. A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after they have received the second-dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or at least two weeks after receiving the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. People who are fully vaccinated can now attend small, indoor gatherings without masks with others who are fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated individuals may also have small gatherings with others from a single household who are not vaccinated as long as no one in the household is considered high-risk. In addition, fully vaccinated people do not need to quarantine or get tested if they have been in close contact with someone who is positive for COVID-19 and if they are asymptomatic. However, if the fully vaccinated person has been around someone who is sick and they are experiencing symptoms themselves, they should get tested and stay away from others. It’s important to note that fully vaccinated people should continue to wear face masks and maintain physical distance while in public spaces, as well as avoid medium and large gatherings. They should also avoid being in direct contact with unvaccinated people from multiple households as well as unvaccinated people at high-risk or those living with unvaccinated people at high-risk. There is still much to learn about how effective the vaccines are against the COVID-19 variants and whether or not the vaccines keep people from spreading the virus. Early data shows there may be a reduction in transmission among vaccinated people. For that matter, it’s always a good precaution to mask up, distance and observe precautions when you’re unsure. We will continue to watch for updated guidance from the CDC as more data becomes available. Infectious disease specialist, Kristin Englund, MD.

Novel coronavirus affects male fertility levels: Study City gynaecologists and fertility experts have found that the novel coronavirus has affected the fertility levels, particularly in men, as a majority of those infected hailed from the reproductive age. Hyderabad: City gynaecologists and fertility experts have found that the novel coronavirus has affected the fertility levels, particularly in men, as a majority of those infected hailed from the reproductive age.... As the body temperature is directly linked to the production of sperm, those suffering from Covid-19 with high fever, are at risk of infertility, though temporary. Fertility experts said fever has an impact on the parameters of sperm, including its motility and count. The worst-hit during the lockdown were the infertile couples as they could not have access to assisted reproductive techniques (ART). Even after relaxation in the lockdown, the access to the ART is limited. A study by gynaecologists and fertility experts from Maternal Health and Research Institute (MHRI) and Shadan Medical College showed that the Covid-19 had more impact on the fertility of men than women. The result of the study was published in the recent issue of ‘The Journal of Reproductive Health and Medicine’. The research team comprised Dr Roya Rozati, Dr Humaira Minhaj, Dr Avvari Bhaskara Balaji, Dr Ayapathi Mehdi Gautam, Dr Vikram Aiman, and Dr Mohammed Akbar. Concerns raise that novel coronavirus may have an impact on the male reproductive organs thereby causing the male infertility stem cells from various observations and scrutiny. Previous examinations in Italy and China demonstrated that male gender is more prone to Covid-19 when compared to female gender. Major population of these men at risk are in the age of childbearing, therefore the ability to reproduce may be affected. Like in influenza, patients of Covid-19 suffer from fever. This affects the production of sperm, Dr Roya Rozati said. Dr Roya said it is ethically accurate to permit infertile partners to continue a viable possibility of a pregnancy all through this pandemic. Else, these women would be prejudiced against the couples which are fertile and who still can choose themself to conceive even during this possibly enduring universal situation. The researchers said Covid-19 has direct effect on testicular functi
