How can digital marketing data be collected systematically, comprehensively and regularly, with minimal resources and in a way that emulates different internet-user profiles? Researchers - Kathryn Backholer, Asim Bhatti, Navoda Liyanapathirana, Floretine Martino, Leo Saif, Bridget Kelly and Becky Freeman from IHT, IISRI — Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation, University of Sydney and University of Wollongong - propose to find out with the assistance of a Heart Foundation 2024 Research Grant that they were recently awarded. With the Vanguard Grant, it is proposed to develop proof-of-concept methods to hold industries accountable for the marketing of products that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

💡🫀ICOT consiglia: paper of the week🫀🧠 💡Assessing and Addressing Social Determinants of Cardiovascular Health: JACC State-of-the-Art Review 💡 🧠Eric J. Brandt et al. 📌Abstract: Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the social conditions in which people are born, live, and work. SDOH offers a more inclusive view of how environment, geographic location, neighborhoods, access to health care, nutrition, socioeconomics, and so on are critical in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. SDOH will continue to increase in relevance and integration of patient management, thus, applying the information herein to clinical and health systems will become increasingly commonplace. This state-of-the-art review covers the 5 domains of SDOH, including economic stability, education, health care access and quality, social and community context, and neighborhood and built environment. Recognizing and addressing SDOH is an important step toward achieving equity in cardiovascular care. We discuss each SDOH within the context of cardiovascular disease, how they can be assessed by clinicians and within health care systems, and key strategies for clinicians and health care systems to address these SDOH. Summaries of these tools and key strategies are provided. ❗️Leggi il paper completo: #cardiology #cardiologyfellow #cardiologia 

🌟 On this World Amyloidosis Day, we are proud to highlight Jacquie Baker, recipient of the CCS-Pfizer ATTR-CM 2023 Research Fellowship Award. 🔍 Jacquie is a postdoctoral associate at the Cumming School of Medicine in Calgary where she is studying the impact of autonomic health on #amyloidosis patients. When the autonomic nervous system is impaired, it can cause symptoms like lightheadedness, dizziness, difficulty regulating body temperature, and problems with blood pressure control. These challenges can impact daily activities, independence, and overall quality of life for patients. 💡 We are proud to support researchers like Jacquie and partner with organizations such as the Canadian Cardiovascular Society. Through our collective efforts, we aim to enhance understanding, improve patient outcomes, and make a positive impact on the lives of amyloidosis patients and their loved ones!

🔬 A Conceptual Model of Sepsis as a Dysregulated Host Response By Julie Graham, PhD, APRN, ACCNS-AG, and Elizabeth Scruth, PhD, MPH, RN In the latest issue of the International Journal of Critical Care (IJCC), explore a groundbreaking conceptual model that captures the complexity of sepsis as a dysregulated host response. This research article sheds light on the interplay between immunologic and metabolic disruptions in sepsis. 📖 Access the full research article here: https://lnkd.in/dKfg4P4H #SepsisResearch #CriticalCareInnovation #MedicalScience #WFCCN #IJCC

University of Virginia School of Medicine and Brain Institute researchers have received an initial $9.3 million award from The National Institutes of Health to determine if the powerful anesthetic ketamine can save patients from prolonged, life-threatening grand mal seizures. 🔬 Learn more: https://bit.ly/3EpYHqU

One thing unique that I appreciate about European projects is that they allow you to analyse multi-country data. In the EU-funded project euCanSHare, we analysed cardiovascular data from 550,000 individuals across 11 European countries over a 30-year period. This study, led by our exceptional collaborator Jaakko Reinikainen and colleagues from the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), explored if regional differences impact association between CVD risks and clinical outcomes across Europe. Our findings? All classic CVD risk factors remain relevant for Europeans, regardless of geography or temporal variations. 📊 Check out the full paper for insights: https://lnkd.in/dPG3K4FP #Cardiology #AIinMedicine #HeartHealth

It's an honor to share SAHELI trial results in JAMA Cardiology The FIRST large clinical trial to evaluate the reach and effectiveness of lifestyle counseling among US South Asian adults with cardiovascular risk factors. Bottom line: The 16-week culturally adapted, group lifestyle intervention did not lead to greater reductions in clinical risk factors than monthly health education materials but did lead to modest improvements in self-reported diet and physical activity. What we learned: We have more work ahead of us to optimize CVD prevention for South Asians, but a critical lesson from SAHELI is that trust and partnership with underrepresented communities is central to equitable cardiovascular clinical trials. https://lnkd.in/gj9xta9x Nirav Shah, MD, MPH Emily Anderson Northwestern University - The Feinberg School of Medicine #cardiovascular #clinicaltrial

Today in Medical History: June 25 On June 25, 1929, the United States passed the National Institute of Health (NIH) Act, establishing the NIH as the country's primary medical research agency. Originally part of the Public Health Service's Hygienic Laboratory, the NIH has since become a cornerstone of biomedical research, driving breakthroughs in disease prevention, treatment, and understanding. The establishment of the NIH marked a significant step in formalizing and funding medical research, fostering advancements that have profoundly impacted global health. Today, the NIH continues to support critical research initiatives and innovations in medicine, improving the health and well-being of millions worldwide. #PulsePerspectives #HistoryAndMedicine #TodayInMedicalHistory
