Doctors remove cancerous football-sized heart tumor; the patient is now thriving
The tumor weighed more than twice the size of an average adult heart. Once they removed the tumor, they had to reconstruct the heart so the patient could live a normal life. #heart#medical#Cardiac#Cancer
I haven't been around much lately...We had our anniversary and then the weather has been so good that we just have to be outside...gardening...walking at the park...cycling. Gotta get it while we can!
A recent study from Deakin University investigated the risks for cardiovascular disease (CVD) that come from the foods we choose to eat.
Drawing on data from a global disease burden study from 1990 to 2019, the researchers estimated how much death and disability could be attributed to hearts sickened and damaged by different foods.
The interesting thing: The dietary choices that drove the risk of heart disease were different between men and women.
A diet high in red meat for women and a diet low in wholegrains for men “were the two leading individual dietary risk factors for diet-related CVD burden in Australia”.
Stress in adolescence and early adulthood may contribute to the development of cardiometabolic diseases later in life, according to a new study led by Fangqi Guo at USC.
Researchers looked at the health information of 276 participants from the Southern California Children’s Health Study from 2003-2014 and a follow-up assessment from 2018-2021.
Participants with a consistently high adolescence‐to‐adulthood stress pattern had greater overall cardiometabolic risk, percent body fat, and odds of obesity in adulthood, compared with those with consistently low perceived stress. In adulthood, higher perceived stress was associated with increased overall cardiometabolic risk and higher blood pressure.
