Eyes of Tomorrow: Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis Innovations Vision Science Academy Exclusive Author: Aakanksha Pathania, B.Optom Tutor, Vision Science Academy Learning Centre (VSALC) The eyes are commonly known as the "windows to the soul," and the cornea is often likened to the "front window of the eye." Unfortunately, the loss of an eye is one of the most prevalent sensory organ impairments. Corneal disease ranks as the second leading cause of blindness globally, following cataracts. Its epidemiology is intricate, encompassing a variety of infectious and inflammatory eye conditions.

📊 New Research 📊 Check out our latest research on "Spatial patterns of prematurity and its determinants in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil, 2010-2019", published in Brazilian Journal of Epidemiology. The study uncovers key spatial clusters of preterm births and their associations with maternal, social, and health service indicators, highlighting areas where targeted health interventions are needed. ✍ Authors: Rodríguez, E.C.A.; Rodríguez, E.Y.A.; Marins, F.A.S.; Silva, A.F.; Nascimento, L.F.C. 👨💻 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eEfEMXwv #Research #PublicHealth #SãoPaulo #Prematurity #SpatialAnalysis

Dr. Amit Goyal, Dr. Jenna Skowronski, and Dr. Shazli Khan discuss iron deficiency in heart failure with Dr. Robert Mentz, Chief of Heart Failure at Duke, and principal investigator of the HEART-FID trial. They explore diagnostics, epidemiology, treatment options, and the impact on quality of life, hospitalizations, and mortality. A key takeaway: iron metabolism matters in heart failure, even without anemia. This episode is in collaboration with the Cardiometabolic Health Congress and supported by an educational grant from American Regent. 💡0.5 AMA/ANCC/ACPE Credits 🔗Link in bio #CME #Podcast #PodcastCME #CMHC #IronDeficiency #HeartFailure #IronMetabolism

STANDING OR SITTING? A Cardiovascular Dilemma 📋 Research highlights the importance of varying postures and movements throughout the day.
While many studies link prolonged sitting with cardiometabolic risks and recommend short walks or activity breaks to counteract sedentary behavior, standing may not always be the best alternative. 💡 A new study from the University of Sydney, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, reveals that standing for extended periods doesn't necessarily lower cardiovascular disease risk and may even increase the likelihood of vascular issues. 🚀 The findings advocate for a balanced approach: alternating between sitting, standing, and moving to support overall cardiovascular health. 🔗 Learn more about the article : https://lnkd.in/gVHt4cB4 #CardiovascularHealth #MovementMatters #SedentaryLifestyle #HealthInnovation

While Americans frequently hear advice on how to eat healthy, a ore pressing question arises: how can we make healthy eating affordable for everyone? This month, Dr. Adam Drewnowski, Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Washington, examines the significance of this question and explores potential solutions. Join us in learning about this vital topic and how it impacts public health. Discover more about Dr. Drewnowski's insights! https://loom.ly/OR1t99o

If you need to evaluate the relationship between certain exposures of individuals or a population and the disease outcomes that result, epidemiology and biostatistics can provide needed insights. ORAU’s experts provide evaluation of the exposure-disease relationship through health surveillance programs, independent, scientific investigations, health risk assessments, and large cohort studies to inform human health protection, procedures, and policies.

The Cognitive Function and Ageing Study features approximately 40 years' worth of data on #dementia and cognitive decline from more than 18,000 people over 65 years old. This wealth of data provides information on depression and physical disability in the older population, as well as those with healthy, active life expectancy. The aims of the study have evolved over the years and now also covers a wide range of other information including descriptive epidemiology, neuropathy, policy, molecular epidemiology and ethics.
