The drug, called teplizumab and sold under the brand name Tzield®, is intended for patients with stage 2 type 1 diabetes (aged 8 years and older), who researchers say are newly diagnosed with the disease. We continue to research ways to further help children and young people. . To this end, a…

October 17, 2023 4:52 PM | The Bogalusa Heart Study has spent 50 years unraveling the mysteries of heart disease in its namesake rural Louisiana town, resulting in groundbreaking medical discoveries and forging deep community ties. (Photo by Sabry Hill) Fifty years ago, in the fall of 1973, in the rural Louisiana town of Bogalusa, a groundbreaking study began that would change the world’s understanding of heart disease. The Bogalusa Heart Study, which tracked the health of the town’s children into adulthood, was the first to find that heart disease begins in childhood. This community-wide study pioneered a new approach…

important factsClimate change is directly contributing to humanitarian emergencies such as heat waves, wildfires, floods, tropical storms and hurricanes, which are increasing in size, frequency and intensity.Research shows that 3.6 billion people already live in areas that are highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Between 2030 and 2050, climate change is expected to cause around 250,000 additional deaths per year from malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea and heat stress alone.Direct damage costs to health (excluding costs in health-determining sectors such as agriculture, water and sanitation) are estimated to be between US$2 and US$4 billion per year by 2030.Regions with weak…

After a heart attack, it can be difficult to change long-standing behaviors that affect heart health. For many people, habits developed over 20, 30, or 40 years are ingrained and take a lot of effort to correct. Does having a supportive and participatory partner help? Recent research has demonstrated that it can. The RESPONSE-2 trial is a lifestyle intervention study enrolling patients with coronary artery disease. More than 800 study participants were randomly assigned to either nurse-coordinated referral of patients and their partners to three widely available community-based lifestyle programs or usual care. Community-based intervention programs targeted weight loss, increased…

Changes in the brain occur many years before the first symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease appear. These early brain changes point to a possible window of opportunity to prevent or delay memory loss and other symptoms of dementia. While nothing has been proven yet to prevent Alzheimer’s, researchers have identified promising strategies and are learning more about what might — and might not — work. Read and share this infographic and help spread the word about healthy lifestyle activities that may help reduce your risk of dementia. A 2017 review of research looked carefully at the evidence from clinical research on…

news releaseTuesday, October 10, 2023NIH-supported research provides a broader understanding of how cardiovascular disease risk manifests after pregnancy.According to a study published in It was said that there was a significant association with circulation research It was funded by the National Institutes of Health. Researchers know that obesity is a risk factor for blood pressure-related cardiovascular disease and pregnancy complications. However, it was not known whether obesity or pregnancy complications had a greater impact on a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease years after pregnancy. Although adverse pregnancy outcomes are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease during pregnancy, comorbidities…

Advisory Highlights: A new American Heart Association presidential advisory identifies the strong connections among cardiovascular disease (CVD), kidney disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity, and suggests redefining CVD risk, prevention and management. The advisory defines cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome for the first time. CKM syndrome ranges from Stage 0, or no risk factors and an entirely preventive focus, to Stage 4, the highest-risk stage with cardiovascular disease. Stage 4 may also include kidney failure. The advisory urges use of a new tool that will predict someone’s likelihood of heart attack, stroke and/or heart failure in 10 and 30 years. Embargoed…

Some people who suffer from these intense, throbbing headaches may be at increased risk of stroke or heart attack. Approximately 1 in 6 adults in the United States reports having a migraine, but this debilitating headache is three times more common in women. During a migraine attack, people often feel nauseous and become sensitive to light and sound. And up to a third of migraine sufferers experience strange visual or physical sensations known as auras (see What are migraine auras?). Auras usually occur just before a headache, but some people experience just the aura without a headache. Both versions are…
