"Researchers from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health detected toxic metals such as lead, arsenic, and cadmium in both organic and nonorganic tampons. Public Health Berkeley reports that university researchers studied 30 tampons from 14 brands and found 16 metals that could put women at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, infertility, and even dementia. As half the world’s population has been menstruating monthly for years with more than half of them, 52-86% using tampons for days, the potential public health concern besides disease is infertility."

A New Publication: Obesity presents a formidable global health crisis, intricately linked to neurological diseases. These interconnected conditions afflict a substantial portion of the world's population, leading to severe physical and cognitive impairments. Beyond its well-documented effects on metabolic and cardiovascular health, obesity profoundly disrupts brain structure and function. This review investigates the intricate molecular mechanisms connecting obesity to neurological disorders, focusing on the roles of free fatty acids, insulin resistance, and inflammation. It also emphasizes a foundational understanding of the functions and types of adipose tissue. Understanding these mechanisms is vital for developing effective preventive and therapeutic strategies. Public health initiatives must urgently prioritize obesity prevention and the promotion of healthy lifestyles, particularly among the youth. #science #society #publichealth

Ischemic stroke is a global health challenge for its high rate of mortality, but as a leading cause of long-term adult disability. There is a pressing need for research that continues to push the development of pharmacotherapy options for those that may fall outside the gold standard tPA treatment, which works by breaking up blood clots. AP39, a mitochondria-targeted H2S donor is an interesting pre-clinical candidate for its prophylactic and neuroprotective properties in post-ischemia. Read more. For research use only.

Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program (BCDSP) has expertise in the use of population-based data to study rare diseases, where there is limited available evidence to understand the burden and health impact in comparison to the general population. Two recent examples using CPRD GOLD data: Females with von Willebrand disease (VWD) were more than twice as likely to have heavy menstrual bleeding or to undergo hysterectomy than females without VWD. These findings highlight the substantial impact of VWD during the key years for fertility and conception. https://lnkd.in/eQwZUU5S Treated anxiety and treated depression were more common in people diagnosed with VWD than in those without VWD, predominantly in females. These findings highlight mental health–related conditions as a potential unmet need in people diagnosed with VWD. https://lnkd.in/eszzdHkT

Frailty-guided clinical care revolutionizes traditional models by shifting from disease-focused to holistic, person-centered care. By considering the intricate interplay of physical, social, and emotional factors, frailty-guided care addresses the complex health needs of older adults, delivering more effective, compassionate support.
Frailty is a clinically identifiable state of diminished physiological reserve and increased vulnerability to a broad range of adverse health outcomes. Frailty becomes more common as populations age. In a report covering 62 countries worldwide, the prevalence of frailty among community-dwelling persons ranged from 11% among those who were 50 to 59 years of age to 51% among those who were 90 years of age or older. Older persons in acute care hospitals and nursing homes, those in low- or middle-income countries, and those with a socially vulnerable status are all at increased risk for frailty. Continue reading the Review Article “Frailty in Older Adults” by Dae Hyun Kim, M.D., Sc.D., M.P.H., and Kenneth Rockwood, M.D., from the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research, Hebrew SeniorLife; Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center; Harvard Medical School; and Dalhousie University: https://nej.md/3WV9SyV

A significant link has been revealed by fascinating new research that was published in the European Heart Journal: women who experience prenatal depression are 36% more likely to acquire heart disease within 20 years of giving birth. This study emphasizes the value of combining physical and mental health care, having examined data from almost 600,000 women. 📊 Key Findings: 1. An elevated risk of hypertension 2. an increased risk of ischemic heart disease 3. An increased risk of cardiac failure Interestingly, when researchers compared the cardiovascular disease risks of women with prenatal depression to those of their sisters, they discovered a 20% increase, pointing to possible hereditary or familial factors at work. 🔍 Research Implications: Researchers propose that reproductive health ought to play a major role in cardiovascular risk assessments in order to better support women's health. By doing this, we can help women's long-term health outcomes by identifying and reducing hazards at an early age. 💡 Call to Action: 1️⃣ Healthcare Providers: Consider reproductive health while assessing cardiovascular risk. 2️⃣ Policymakers: Legislators should back programs that deal with perinatal care's emotional and physical health. 3️⃣ Communities: Increase knowledge about the connection between cardiac disease and prenatal depression. Together, we can make a difference. By recognizing and addressing the dual impact of mental and physical health, we can better support women and ensure healthier futures for mothers everywhere. 🌟 #Prevealth #PerinatalDepression #HeartHealth #WomensHealth #MentalHealth #CardiovascularRisk #HealthcareInnovation #Healthcare #LinkedIn Reference: https://lnkd.in/gCB3eqcA
