UK experts say they have found a way of predicting which thalassaemia patients are going to develop heart failure.

Thalassaemia is a disorder of the haemoglobin protein which gives red blood cells their colour

The technique uses a magnetic resonance scanner to measure the level of iron in the heart, which builds to life-threatening levels in some patients.

The study, published in the journal Circulation, suggests the technique leads to a 71% reduction in deaths.

Thalassaemia is an inherited disorder of the blood system which causes a lack of haemoglobin.

A government spokesman said it could significantly help in the management of people with thalassaemia.

The teams at the Royal Brompton Hospital and Imperial College tried the technique on 652 patients over seven years.

Blood transfusions

Haemoglobin is a protein contained in red blood cells which takes oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

A lack of oxygen can cause breathlessness, lethargy and fainting – a condition known as anaemia.

People with thalassaemia may have to have two or three blood transfusions a month.

Each time they receive about 250 milligrammes of iron in the blood and daily drug treatments to try to remove the iron from their body – a normal daily intake of iron from the diet is 30 milligrammes.

Despite this, in 50-60% of patients there is a potentially life-threatening build up of iron levels. Read more…

Young adults are suffering from “anxiety overload”, a UK charity warns.

Men were less likely to report feeling stressed

A survey of 18-24 year olds found 66% feel stressed or anxious at least once a week, with money and job worries being the main cause.

Almost a third of respondents said they did not tell anyone of their worries, raising the need to teach young people “coping strategies”, said Rethink.

Women seemed most badly affected, with one in three suffering frequent anxiety, compared with one in 10 men.

The YouGov poll of 2,000 adults, 250 of whom were aged 18-24, found 33% of young women felt stressed or anxious most days or every day.

Money worries were given as the main reason by 45% of respondents, followed by 33% having concerns about job prospects and 29% worried about pressures from school or university.

Some said they would seek advice or support from a partner or friend, but almost one third (31%) say they kept stress and anxiety to themselves. Read more…

Mothers who smoke during pregnancy put their children at greater risk of psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations, a study suggests.

About 15% of pregnant women smoke

A UK survey of 12-year-olds found those whose mothers had smoked were 20% more likely to suffer such problems.

The link was 84% more pronounced if 20 or more cigarettes a day were smoked.

The researchers suggested tobacco exposure in the womb may affect the child’s brain development, but admitted further study of the issue was needed.

The research by Cardiff, Nottingham, Bristol and Warwick universities was part of a long-running study known as the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children looking at how genetics and the environment affects health.

During this latest part of the programme, 12-year-olds were asked if they had had any psychotic episodes such as delusions and hallucinations in the past six months.

In total, 11% of the group did.

The group was also studied for their mother’s use of cannabis and alcohol. Read more…
