8 Risk Factors Of Low Blood Pressure
Conclusion In a nutshell, understanding the risk factors associated with low blood pressure is essential for maintaining good health. Individuals with certain risk factors, such as age, medication usage, underlying medical conditions, dehydration, prolonged bed rest, nutritional deficiencies, pregnancy, and inherited factors, should be particularly aware of the potential for low blood pressure. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, communication with healthcare providers, and appropriate management strategies are important for individuals with these risk factors to ensure their well-being. Furthermore, diet pla...

This study also provides the potential for de novo generation of complex organs in vivo. T Cells May Play a Role in the Brain Inflammation Characteristic of Neurodegenerative Conditions https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/03/t-cells-may-play-a-role-in-the-brain-inflammation-characteristic-of-neurodegenerative-conditions/ Alzheimer's disease, and other forms of neurodegenerative condition, are characterized by chronic inflammation in brain tissue. Unresolved inflammatory signaling is disruptive of tissue structure and function. Here, researchers provide evidence for T cells to become involved in this...

Anemia in cardiac failure : Needs little more attention
HF is the inability (or reduced ability) to supply oxygen and other nutrients to fulfill the body’s demands. In the process, the heart either fights or flights, and results in symptoms due to hemodynamic alterations, or adversities of neuro-hormonal activation. Now, what is Anemia? Anemia is a condition with reduced or dysfunctional RBCs. that directly interferes with oxygen delivery to tissues. It is not at all a coincidence, the core functions of the heart and blood are strikingly similar and intertwined. While the heart is the powerhouse of the circulatory system, without good-quality blood, the greatness of th...

Heart failure in chronic kidney disease – Cardiology Basics
Heart failure in chronic kidney disease – Cardiology Basics Prevalence of both heart failure and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are increasing as the population is aging globally. Hence heart failure in chronic kidney disease is seen more often. Presence of CKD in heart failure increases morbidity and mortality. Though there is increasing use of effective medications and special devices like cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure patients in general, those with CKD have not been benefited well. CKD is defined as abnormalities of kidney structure or function, present for >3 months, with implications for h...

What is Eisenmenger syndrome? Cardiology Basics
Eisenmenger syndrome is a late complication of congenital heart diseases with large left to right shunts. Fortunately, it is rare now-a-days because most conditions which can cause Eisenmenger syndrome later, are detected by neonatal screening and treated early so that this complication does not develop later. Eisenmenger syndrome is a condition in which long standing high pulmonary blood flow leads to irreversible pulmonary hypertension with reversal of shunt. Right to left shunt causes reduced systemic oxygen saturation with cyanosis. This is an echocardiogram showing a left to right shunt from the left ventricle to the...

The college football fans that beat COVID and the experts that couldn ’t
BY ANISH KOKA The COVID pandemic was supposed to herald the end of the idea that a smaller government is a better government. The experts who desperately seek to be in charge of a sprawling bureaucratic state told us that it was only a powerful central authority that could do what was needed to safeguard individual liberties at a time when a highly contagious respiratory virus was spreading across the globe. New Zealand may have imposed draconian policies that did not even allow its own citizens to return, but scenes of cheering unmasked New Zealanders stood in sharp contrast to empty seats in American stadiums when ...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 19th 2021
In this study, we developed the first epigenetic clock for domesticated sheep (Ovis aries), which can predict chronological age with a median absolute error of 5.1 months. We have discovered that castrated male sheep have a decelerated aging rate compared to intact males, mediated at least in part by the removal of androgens. Furthermore, we identified several androgen-sensitive CpG dinucleotides that become progressively hypomethylated with age in intact males, but remain stable in castrated males and females. Comparable sex-specific methylation differences in MKLN1 also exist in bat skin and a range of mouse tissu...

Non invasive cardiac output monitoring
Conventionally, measurement of cardiac output was done invasively. Initially with dye dilution techniques and later by thermodilution techniques. Both needed pulmonary artery catheterization, which in turn was likely to cause morbidity if used for continuous monitoring. Almost all non-invasive cardiac imaging modalities like echocardiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear imaging can measure cardiac output. But these are not suitable for bedside monitoring, though echocardiography may be used for intermittent bedside assessment. Assessment of cardiac output though desirable, was most often ti...

Breath-Holding Spells Are More Complicated than Imagined
It never ceases to amaze me how nothing is ever as simple as it seems. Breath-holding spells are just the latest of the simple and common medical conditions that turn out to be much more complex than ever imagined.It all started during a recent shift in the pediatric emergency department with a toddler who presented after a breath-holding episode. He fell after losing his balance on a trampoline.It started as a classic pallid breath-holding spell that then manifested as crying out, stopping breathing, and rapidly losing consciousness. He then had a CNS anoxic event. The unconscious child clenched his fists and arched his b...
