Medicinal plants against ischemic stroke.
Abstract Ischemic stroke is one of the major causes of global deaths. Prominent changes in the Central Nervous System (CNS) are observable including emotional, cognitive and behavioural changes during the recovery phase of a stroke. Brain ischemia affects a large portion of patients across the world with permanent disability or death. During the ischemic stroke onset, apart from inducing brain damage, existing microglial cells, immune cells, inflammatory factors such as chemokines and cytokines affect the process of brain repair. For the reduction of this damage, there is a need of understanding the basic mechanis...

Risk of Chronic Conditions Found Higher Among Certain Groups With Depression, Anxiety
Women aged 20 to 60 with depression or anxiety were more likely to develop multiple chronic conditions over time compared with similarly aged women without depression or anxiety, according to areport published this week in JAMA Network Open. Women with comorbid anxiety and depression had an even greater risk of developing chronic conditions.Similarly, men with depression and/or anxiety at age 20 were more likely than those without depression or anxiety to develop chronic conditions.“Our findings support the need for managing comorbid depression and anxiety, which may help lower the risk of premature mortality associated ...

Can Oxygen Therapy Bring Dead Brain Cells Back To Life?
During my Palm Beach Anti-Aging Summit in October, I’m hosting some of the world’s leading authorities on oxygen therapy. The Summit coincides with the grand opening of my 17,000-sq.-ft. Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, where I’m unveiling a specially-designed room that houses my first hyperbaric oxygen chamber. I hope you’ll be there, as you’ll discover the newest applications and breakthroughs in this growing field. You see, when oxygen is pressurized — like it is when you’re inside the chamber — you can treat more than just chronic disease. Truth is, hyperbaric oxygen can...

Prevalence of Hypertension among Patients Attending Mobile Medical Clinics in the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan
Conclusions Better planning and preparation by humanitarian actors seeking to decrease the overall morbidity and mortality associated with disasters should include treatment of NCDs. There is limited evidence regarding the optimal management of hypertension in disaster settings. Clinical care of patients with hypertension and other NCDs is an important part of disaster relief and recovery. We recommend future studies to determine best practices and evidence-based management of other NCDs (such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, mental health etc.) in post-disaster settings. Competing Inter...

Long-Term Exposure to Road Traffic Noise and Nitrogen Dioxide and Risk of Heart Failure: A Cohort Study
Conclusions: Long-term exposure to NO2 and road traffic noise was associated with higher risk of heart failure, mainly among men, in both single- and two-pollutant models. High exposure to both pollutants was associated with highest risk. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1272 Received: 25 October 2016 Revised: 09 August 2017 Accepted: 09 August 2017 Published: 26 September 2017 Address correspondence to M.

Relationships between Chronic Diseases and Depression among Middle-aged and Elderly People in China: A Prospective Study from CHARLS
SummaryGiven the rapid increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases in aging populations, this prospective study including 17 707 adults aged ≥45 years from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study was used to estimate the associations between chronic disease, multimorbidity, and depression among middle-aged and elderly adults in China, and explore the mediating factors. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the 10-item Centre f or Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D-10) questionnaire. Twelve chronic physical conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, cancer, chronic lung disease, l...

Mortality and Morbidity Effects of Long-Term Exposure to Low-Level PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > , BC, NO < sub > 2 < /sub > , and O < sub > 3 < /sub > : An Analysis of European Cohorts in the ELAPSE Project
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term exposure to PM2.5, NO2, and BC was positively associated with natural-cause and cause-specific mortality in the pooled cohort and the administrative cohorts. Associations were found well below current limit values and guidelines for PM2.5 and NO2. Associations tended to be supralinear, with steeper slopes at low exposures with no indication of a threshold. Two-pollutant models documented the importance of characterizing the ambient mixture with both NO2 and PM2.5. We mostly found negative associations with O3. In two-pollutant models with NO2, the negative associations with O3 were attenuated to esse...

Effects of Habitual Coffee Consumption on Cardiometabolic Disease, Cardiovascular Health, and All-cause Mortality: O'Keefe JH, Bhatti SK, Patil HR. J Am Coll Cardiol 2013;62:1043−51.
This study examines existing data regarding coffee consumption and its effect on health and all-cause mortality. Coffee consumption confers a benefit in the reduction of Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There was significant reduction in a dose-dependent relationship of coffee consumption and reduction of T2DM. Caffeinated and noncaffeinated beverages confer the same benefit. The authors conclude that coffee's effect on serum lipids is a dose-dependent increase in serum total cholesterol and a nonsignificant increase in low-density lipoprotein concentrations in only boiled preparations of coffee, but not for filtered coff...

Are high-speed cyclists at risk from air pollution?
Conclusion This study may be of interest to those in the field of sports medicine. It calculates the speed that walkers, joggers and cyclists may travel at to minimise the pollution they potentially inhale. It also finds that these values turn out to be those that many pedestrians and cyclists would travel at in any case. And, somewhat unsurprisingly, this speed would go down as you go uphill because of the increased effort and breathing rate required. Fitter people who run or cycle fast for sport are, however, naturally likely to exceed this minimum speed requirement, both on the flat and speed gradients. This could pot...

Real-world impact of disease on functioning and activity: what is missed when using general instruments to estimate quality-adjusted life year
CONCLUSION: Differences in rankings of disease severity by metric indicate that the results of cost-utility analyses might be biased against treatments for certain diseases. As patient preferences for clinical outcomes vary, the full burden of disease should be considered in evaluations. Restricting access to treatments based on an incomplete estimate of burden could lead to misallocation of resources and a withholding of therapies that patients find valuable.PMID:34775901 | DOI:10.1080/03007995.2021.2006535
