Atherosclerosis is the build up of plaques in blood vessel walls, composed of fats and the debris of dead cells. Blood vessels are narrowed and weakened, and eventually something important ruptures or blocks, producing a heart attack or stroke. Cholesterols circulate in the bloodstream, attached to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles. The immune cells known as monocytes are responsible for ensuring that excess cholesterols stuck in blood vessel walls are removed and returned to the liver to be excreted. They do this by entering blood vessel walls, transforming into macrophages, ingesting the cholesterols, and then handing them off to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. In older individuals, increased inflammation and oxidative stress causes macrophages to become dysfunctional. Macrophages can be overwhelmed by large amounts of cholesterol, but From https://jamesjohnson10.blogspot.com/2019/06/progression-of-atherosclerosis-is.html From https://richardwood1.blogspot.com/2019/06/progression-of-atherosclerosis-is.html from https://richardwood1.wordpress.com/2019/06/19/progression-of-atherosclerosis-is-slowed-in-mice-via-targeting-senescent-cells/ from https://johnmurphy3.blogspot.com/2019/06/progression-of-atherosclerosis-is.html

Two years, 16 hearings and one massive bipartisan package of legislation later, a key Senate committee says it is ready to start marking up a bill next week designed to contain health care costs. But it might not be easy since lawmakers and stakeholders at a final hearing Tuesday showed they are still far apart on one simple aspect of the proposal. That sticking point: a formula for paying for surprise medical bills, those unexpected and often high charges patients face when they get care from a doctor or hospital that isn’t in their insurance network. “People get health insurance precisely so they won’t be surprised by health care bills,” said Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), the co-author of a separate proposal to From https://khn.org/news/senators-agree-surprise-medical-bills-must-go-but-how/ From https://jamesjohnson10.blogspot.com/2019/06/senators-agree-surprise-medical-bills.html From https://richardwood1.blogspot.com/2019/06/senators-agree-surprise-medical-bills.html from https://richardwood1.wordpress.com/2019/06/19/senators-agree-surprise-medical-bills-must-go-but-how/ from https://johnmurphy3.blogspot.com/2019/06/senators-agree-surprise-medical-bills.html Read to join my July 8th round of the FASTer Way To Fat Loss?

Community connection is number one6/18/2019 The Aged Care Royal Commission is currently looking at aged care for Indigenous Australians. From shutterstock.comThe Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population is ageing at a much faster rate than the non-Indigenous population. Aboriginal Australians record high mid-life rates of multiple chronic diseases including heart disease and stroke, lung disease, and type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes, for example, is more than twice as common in the Indigenous population than the non-Indigenous population. Aboriginal Australians also experience higher rates of dementia in later life – three to four times the rates seen in non-Indigenous people. There remains a life expectancy gap of around ten years between the Aboriginal population and the non-Indigenous population. The poor Aboriginal health status when compared with the From https://jamesjohnson10.blogspot.com/2019/06/what-do-aboriginal-australians-want.html From https://richardwood1.blogspot.com/2019/06/what-do-aboriginal-australians-want.html from https://richardwood1.wordpress.com/2019/06/19/what-do-aboriginal-australians-want-from-their-aged-care-system-community-connection-is-number-one/ from https://johnmurphy3.blogspot.com/2019/06/what-do-aboriginal-australians-want.html Since the delightful snafu that led to the research vessel’s goofy moniker, the autonomous submarine has been off gathering deep-sea data on the effects of Antarctic winds.(Image credit: Povl Abrahamsen, British Antarctic Survey) From https://jamesjohnson10.blogspot.com/2019/06/boaty-mcboatface-internet-adored-sub.html From https://richardwood1.blogspot.com/2019/06/boaty-mcboatface-internet-adored-sub.html from https://richardwood1.wordpress.com/2019/06/19/boaty-mcboatface-internet-adored-sub-makes-deep-sea-discovery-on-climate-change/ from https://johnmurphy3.blogspot.com/2019/06/boaty-mcboatface-internet-adored-sub.html Experts weigh in on whether the penile phenomenon actually happens.

The Fresh Market is a farmers’ market hosted on the Hospital grounds throughout the summer and early fall months, featuring several local farmers and vendors and their fresh produce and products, and plays an important role in health promotion. Adults in Northwestern Ontario consume lower levels of fruits and vegetables than the rest of the province, and access to local, fresh and healthy produce and products is limited. “Our onsite Fresh Market improves community health and well-being by making fresh, healthy and local food to be more accessible to our staff, patients, visitors, and volunteers,” stated Kelly-Jo Gillis, Manager of From http://hospitalnews.com/hospital-fresh-market-improves-healthy-eating/ from From https://jamesjohnson10.blogspot.com/2019/06/hospital-fresh-market-improves-healthy.html from From https://richardwood1.blogspot.com/2019/06/hospital-fresh-market-improves-healthy.html from https://richardwood1.wordpress.com/2019/06/19/hospital-fresh-market-improves-healthy-eating/ from https://johnmurphy3.blogspot.com/2019/06/hospital-fresh-market-improves-healthy.html NIH AMP research lays groundwork for finding potential treatment targets.

Forests at different latitudes and elevations form distinctly different ecozones: boreal forests near the poles, tropical forests near the equator and temperate forests at mid-latitudes. Higher elevation areas tend to support forests similar to those at higher latitudes, and amount of precipitation also affects forest composition. ArchivesNo Archives Categories |
