Inflation Phobia Hastens Recessions, Debt Crises
By Anis Chowdhury and Jomo Kwame SundaramSYDNEY and KUALA LUMPUR, Sep 27 2022 (IPS) Inflation phobia among central banks (CBs) is dragging economies into recession and debt crises. Their dogmatic beliefs prevent them from doing right. Instead, they take their cues from Washington: the US Fed, Treasury and Bretton Woods institutions (BWIs). Costly recessions Both BWIs – the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank – have recently raised the alarm about the likely dire consequences of the ensuing contractionary ‘race to the bottom’. But their dogmas stop them from being pragmatic. Hence, their policy analys...

EE352 Projecting the Incidence and Costs of Major Cardiorenal Complications of Type 2 Diabetes with Widespread GLP-1 RA and SGLT2I Use
Whether glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) or sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are cost-effective when considering solely their cardiorenal benefits is unknown. We projected the incidence and costs of hospitalisation for myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and heart failure (HF), and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) among people with type 2 diabetes under scenarios of widespread use of these drugs, from an Australian healthcare perspective.

Are social isolation, lack of social support or loneliness risk factors for cardiovascular disease in Australia and New Zealand? A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Our systematic review is inconclusive as it identified only a few studies, which relied heavily on self-reported CVD. Further studies using medical diagnosis of CVD, and assessing the potential influence of residential remoteness, are needed to better understand the relationship between social health and CVD incidence in Australia and New Zealand.PMID:35263481 | DOI:10.1002/hpja.592
