Study Design: Retrospective cohort study comparing MCPs with an age- and gender-matched mirror group in Florida from April 1, 2020, to May 31, 2020. Methods: A total of 38,193 MCPs in a Florida primary care group were monitored for COVID-19 incidence, hospitalization, and mortality. The highest-risk patients were managed by the medical group's COVID-19 Task Force. As part of a population health program, the COVID-19 Task Force contacted patients, conducted medical encounters, and tracked data including comorbidities and medical outcomes. The MCPs enrolled in the medical group were compared with a mirror group from the state of Florida. Results: The mean (SD) age among the MCPs was 67.9 (15.2) years, and 60% were female. Older age and hypertension were the most important factors in predicting COVID-19. Obesity, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and congestive heart failure (CHF) were linked to higher rates of hospitalizations. Patients prescribed off-label outpatient medications ...

CLOSE Calm your mind and body through meditation. USA TODAY Alanah Sarginson says it started off as a slight ache in her arm, which caused her to panic. Then, she felt a pain in her chest that made her think she was struggling to breathe. Within five minutes, Sarginson texted her friends.  Her worries had taken over. "I'm in 'I might die tomorrow' mode," she recalled. The 20-year-old full-time student and part-time illustrator struggles with health anxiety. And though sometimes she comes to the realization that "this is probably mostly in my head," it doesn't matter. "If I think I'm going to die, I don't really care how embarrassing I am because obviously it's like the most ultimate threat," she explained. "So I'm going to take it seriously even if it's just my mind playing tricks on me." Though Sarginson has dealt with health anxiety in the past, she says the coron...

Like many Americans, one congresswoman has some fears about receiving a coronavirus vaccine -- but she says that shouldn't stop anyone from receiving their shot. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, from Michigan, tells Local 4 that her personal experience with vaccinations has made her fearful about receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. "I am going to talk really honestly today," Dingell said in an interview. "I am one of those people who's been afraid to get vaccinated." When receiving an H1N1 flu shot in 2009, Rep. Dingell had a terrible reaction: She was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome -- a rare autoimmune disorder. Dingell has been concerned about receiving another vaccination, especially after being partially paralyzed in her arm from the disorder in 2009. However, the congresswoman says she has been assured by several experts -- including the nation's top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci -- that the COVID vaccine is not dangerous and wi...

Heat rash is a skin condition that occurs when sweat ducts are clogged during hot or humid weather.  Most commonly, heat rash looks like small red or pink bumps, which may appear similar to bug bites or pimples.  To get rid of heat rash, you should avoid sun, wear breathable fabrics, and put a damp cloth on the skin and let it dry — do not use any lotion or ointment on the skin.  This article was medically reviewed by Jason R. McKnight, MD, MS, a family medicine physician and clinical assistant professor at Texas A&M College of Medicine.  This story is part of Insider's guide to Heat Illness.  After a hot day in the sun, have you ever found water bubbles or red bumps on your skin? If so, you've likely had a heat rash.  Heat rash is a fairly common ailment, especially for the elderly and infants. You can usually get rid of it within hours or days, and it rarely requires a visit to the doctor.  Here's how to recognize the symptoms of heat rash and tr...

A relatively new method of identifying Jane and John Does proved vital in the case of Erica Hunt, a St. Landry Parish woman who disappeared in July 2016. Skeletal remains were found in Evangeline Parish in December 2018, while investigators were searching for a missing boy. The remains were sent for analysis to the LSU Faces Lab, Louisiana State Police Crime Lab, and the DNA Doe Project, a non-profit organization that utilizes genetic genealogy to identify John Does and Jane Does. To date, DDP has made more than 40 confirmed identifications. The organization began genetic genealogy research on the remains found in Evangeline Parish in November 2020. DPP uploads usable DNA to a program called GEDmatch, a free genetic genealogy service that accepts data from all direct-to-consumer DNA testing companies, like Ancestry, and allows users to compare their DNA results to people who have tested with companies other than their own. Volunteers then analyze results from GEDmatch and b...
