Analysis finds link between cumulative occupational exposure and waning lung capacity

Workplace exposure to gases, dusts, fumes, and aromatic solvents used in paints, varnishes, and glues, is linked to waning lung capacity above and beyond that associated with normal aging, finds a pooled data analysis of the available evidence, published online in the journal Occupational & Environmental Medicine.

11 key measures for monitoring clinical activity during COVID-19

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers in the United Kingdom described key measurements for monitoring clinical activity during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Link between shorter sleep in later life and multiple diseases

Human physiological processes rely heavily on sleep for proper functioning. A recent PLOS Medicine journal study determined the relationship between sleep duration of older people, i.e., 50, 60, and 70 years of age, and the incidence of multimorbidity. Significantly, the study utilized follow-up data for twenty-five years for the analysis.

Study reveals racial disparities in access to advanced therapies for heart failure

Black adults treated at advanced heart failure centers received potentially life-changing therapies, such as transplants and heart pumps, about half as often as white adults, possibly due to racial bias, a small National Institutes of Health-supported study has found.

High intake of refined grains does not increase risk of cardiovascular disease, study reveals

A new study recently published Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine reveals that consuming high intakes of refined grain foods does not increase one's risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, or stroke.

New research finds microclotting and inflammatory molecule abnormalities in long-COVID

A new study published on the preprint server medRxiv* determines how endothelial activation and inflammation contribute to the formation of microclots in PASC.

Physical exercise improves cardiorespiratory fitness, alleviates adverse effects of cancer treatment

During chemotherapy, physical exercise intervention is safe, improves long-term cardiorespiratory fitness, and alleviates some of the adverse effects of cancer treatment, according to a study published in JACC: CardioOncology.

Do hypertension, dyslipidemia, and new-onset diabetes mellitus play a part in post-COVID sequelae?

A new study evaluated the current research on incidences of hypertension, new-onset diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia as possible sequelae of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

People with end-stage renal disease and psoriasis do not have increased risk for heart attack

Studies have suggested that psoriasis is an independent risk factor for heart attack in the general population, but investigators have made the surprising finding that in people who also have end-stage renal disease, which shares many risk factors with heart disease, it is not.

What is the function of micronutrients in COVID-19 recovery?

Researchers assessed the function of micronutrients and metabolites derived from gut microbiota in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) recovery.

High immune protein levels predict both heart failure and death

For years, cardiologists have zeroed in on a hormone called BNP as a gold standard to determine if patients with heart failure are at risk of severe illness or death. It's released by the heart in response to when the cardiac tissue stretches due to pressure.
