Unemployment in COPD: Results from the BOLD study
Conclusion: There was substantial variation in employment of COPD-patients, but the overall effect of COPD on unemployment was modest when we adjusted for geography, demographic factors and comorbidities.

Who Suffers During Recessions? Economic Downturns, Job Loss, and Cardiovascular Disease in Older Americans
Job loss in the years before retirement has been found to increase risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but some studies suggest that CVD mortality among older workers declines during recessions. We hypothesized that recessionary labor market conditions were associated with reduced CVD risk among persons who did not experience job loss and increased CVD risk among persons who lost their jobs. In our analyses, we used longitudinal, nationally representative data from Americans 50 years of age or older who were enrolled in the Health and Retirement Study and surveyed every 2 years from 1992 to 2010 about their employment st...

Social and Medical Determinants of Cardiometabolic Health: The Big Picture.
Authors: Puckrein GA, Egan BM, Howard G Abstract Cardiometabolic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease, account for >12 million years of life lost annually among Black adults in the United States. Health disparities are geographically localized, with ~80% of health disparities occurring within ~6000 (16%) of all 38,000 US ZIP codes. Socio-economic status (SES), behavioral and environmental factors (social determinants) account for ~80% of variance in health outcomes and cluster geographically. Neighborhood SES is inversely associated with prevalent diabetes and hypertension, and Blacks are four times mo...

Long-term outcome after cerebral venous thrombosis: analysis of functional and vocational outcome, residual symptoms, and adverse events in 161 patients
Abstract Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) affects mainly working-aged individuals. Functional recovery after CVT is generally considered good with about 3/4 of patients achieving short-term independence. However, vascular events, long-term functional outcome, and employment after CVT remain poorly investigated. We identified consecutive adult CVT patients treated at the Helsinki University Hospital (1987–2013) and invited them to a follow-up visit. Each clinical examination was combined with interview. We also recorded recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) and hemorrhagic events during follow-up and antithrombo...

The Geographic Distribution of Cardiovascular Health in the Stroke Prevention in Healthcare Delivery Environments (SPHERE) Study
Conclusions This work paves the way for future integration of community and EHR-based data into patient care as a novel methodology to gain insight into multi-level factors that affect CVH and other health outcomes. Further, our findings demonstrate the specific architectural and functional challenges associated with integrating decision support technologies and geographic information to support tailored and patient-centered decision making therein.

Needs of Internally Displaced Women and Children in Baghdad, Karbala, and Kirkuk, Iraq
Conclusions The vulnerability of this population is great, and the emotional trauma of multiple displacements, kidnapping and deaths from intentional violence is great. While some aid is reaching families, much more is needed. Though Iraq is a middle income country, reaching the IDPs in central Iraq will take much more in international assistance than is currently being received. Unfortunately, at this time of great need, assistance is being cut back throughout the region because of lack of funding.10 The local civil society organizations which have sprung up in many locations to assist IDPs, offer an avenue for targeting ...

Factors affecting return to work after injury or illness: best evidence synthesis of systematic reviews
ConclusionsExpectations of recovery and return-to-work, pain and disability levels, depression, workplace factors, and access to multidisciplinary resources are important modifiable factors in progressing return-to-work across health and injury conditions. Employers, healthcare providers and other stakeholders can use this information to facilitate return-to-work for injured/ill workers regardless of the specific injury or illness. Future studies should investigate novel interventions, and other factors that may be common across health conditions.

Neurocognitive functioning in adults with congenital heart disease
ConclusionsFindings suggest concerns about neuropsychological functioning that need to be more comprehensively assessed in adults with CHD. Understanding the cognitive limitations of this aging population can help guide access to resources, transition of care, and medical care engagement, thus improving quality of care and quality of life.

The right to be forgotten: a change in access to insurance and loans after childhood cancer?
ConclusionThis study showed that the financial burden of cancer can extend decades after diagnosis.Implications for Cancer SurvivorsThanks to a 2016 law, French cancer survivors no longer have to disclose their cancer to insurers after a fixed number of years. This law will probably lessen the socioeconomic burden of cancer.

Abstract B16: Comparing heart age among Alabama residents with and without a history of cancer
Conclusion: Among the sample of 8,153 Alabama residents, cancer survivors have significantly higher heart age score, suggestive of greater risk for developing cardiovascular disease than residents with no history of cancer. Additional analyses will include exploring decision tree and logistic regression models to predict cancer diagnosis. Disparities in race, age, socioeconomic status, and geographic locations will be explored. Future research includes developing interventions to reduce the cardiovascular risk among cancer survivors.Acknowledgments: This study was approved by the University of Alabama at Birmingham Institu...

Unemployed people at higher risk of having a stroke
The stress of not having a consistent income to provide for themselves or not could also explain the findings, Japanese experts suggest. Stress is a well-known risk factor of the fatal blood clots.
