How Menopause Affects Cholesterol —And How to Manage It
Kelly Officer, 49, eats a vegan diet and shuns most processed foods. So, after a recent routine blood test revealed that she had high cholesterol, “I was shocked and upset,” she says, “since it never has been [high] in the past.”
Officer is not alone. As women enter menopause, cholestrol levels jump—by an average of 10-15%, or about 10 to 20 milligrams per deciliter. (A healthy adult cholesterol range is 125-200 milligrams per deciliter, according to the National Library of Medicine.)
This change often goes unnoticed amidst physical symptoms and the general busyness of those years. But, says D...

Much remains unknown about the long-term neurologic effects of monkeypox. In anarticle published today inJAMA Neurology, researchers from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and colleagues described how reports of complications from other orthopoxviruses, such as smallpox, may offer clues about the neurologic consequences of monkeypox.“Although the COVID-19 pandemic is the worst pandemic in a century, the recent past has seen several major pandemics, including Zika, Ebola, dengue, West Nile, and AIDS,” wrote B.

Why Older People Love Pickleball So Much
Chances are, you already know someone who’s an avid pickleball player. America’s fastest-growing sport—a cross between tennis, badminton, and ping-pong—can be played as either a singles or doubles game, though doubles is typically more popular. Points can only be accrued by the side that’s serving, and the winner is the first side to get to 11 points and be leading by at least two.
Invented in 1965 in Bainbridge Island, Washington, pickleball has gained popularity during the pandemic, growing 14.8% between 2020 and 2021. According to the 2022 Sports & Fitness Industry report, more than hal...

Stringent public health measures during COVID-19 across ischemic stroke care systems: the potential impact of patient perceptions on health care-seeking behaviors
AbstractDecreases in acute stroke presentations have been reported during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic surges. A recent study by Bojti et al. (GeroScience. 2021;43:2231 –2248) sought to understand the relationship of public health mandates in Hungary as they were implemented with acute ischemic stroke admissions and interventions during two separate COVID-19 waves. We sought to perform a similar analysis of changes in ischemic stroke care at two distinct medical institutions in the USA. Two separate institutions and systems of ischemic stroke care were evaluated through a regional comprehensive stroke...

Change is everything
As we endure another winter surge of the coronavirus, I reflect on what we’ve learnt about the pandemic and its impact on our field. Many important trends were published and debated on the pages of JNIS.1–3 These include the global decline in the presentation of patients with stroke, unique challenges in the triaging of emergently ill patients with cerebrovascular disease, workplace fatigue and burnout among interventional surgeons and support staff and, most disturbingly, disparities in mechanical thrombectomy (MT) rates in our minority communities. In their prospective analysis of the Stroke Thrombectomy and ...

Real-time reviews of research findings will help policymakers address global crises such as COVID-19
Real-time reviews of research findings could help policymakers address global crises such as COVID-19, saysthis articlepublished inNature. Living evidence was first developed by Cochrane and an important recommendation for future health emergencies that came out of the recent Cochrane Convenes meetings. According to scientists writing in the peer-reviewed journal Nature, policy missteps will continue to overshadow the global response to COVID-19 because policymakers are overwhelmed with rapidly shifting research evidence. Faced with new challenges such as the Omicron variant, decision-makers can ’t keep up wi...

Brain health: Key to health, productivity, and well-being
Alzheimers Dement. 2021 Sep 27. doi: 10.1002/alz.12478. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBrain health is essential for physical and mental health, social well-being, productivity, and creativity. Current neurological research focuses mainly on treating a diseased brain and preventing further deterioration rather than on developing and maintaining brain health. The pandemic has forced a shift toward virtual working environments that accelerated opportunities for transdisciplinary collaboration for fostering brain health among neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, neuro and socio-behavioral scientists, scholars in arts an...
