A US study spanning more than 4.2 million summer clinic visits examined how blood pressure responds to extreme temperatures, including whether age and hypertension alter that response. Study: Extreme Heat Exposure and Blood Pressure in Community Health Center Patients. Image Credit: M-Production  / Shutterstock In a recent study published in the journal JAMA Network Open, a group of researchers assessed the association between short-term exposure to extreme heat and systolic and diastolic blood pressure among adults receiving ambulatory care at community health centers in the United States. Background What happens to blood pressure when extreme heat arrives? Heat exposure is…

We used to rely on pedometers and simple activity trackers to count our steps and estimate the calories we burned through exercise. But now, that has evolved into high-tech wearable gadgets that are able to measure our heart rhythms, blood pressure and even sleeping patterns.  But how accurate are these wearable devices, and how can they actually help you monitor or improve your health? Karen Basen-Engquist, Ph.D., director of UT MD Anderson’s Center for Energy Balance in Cancer Prevention and Survivorship, suggests that wearable technology may be a solid first step.  What is wearable health technology?  “Wearable health technology is…

As the FDA marches toward the likely first approval of a psychedelic medicine, the agency today convened a hearing seeking public input on how these drugs should be used, monitored and continuously studied in the real world. The biggest question swirling around the hearing was one of access. Should a psychedelic medicine be approved, who would the FDA allow to administer it? And how would that decision impact patients’ ability to actually receive the treatment? The current wave of biotechs pursuing psychedelic drugs has consciously moved away from the model popularized by states like Oregon and Colorado, where psychoactive substances…

A volcanic eruption 22 million years ago froze a snapshot of the Andes in their youth, revealing a slow-and-steady formation of this formidable mountain range.The eruption, which originated from the Lauca Caldera in what is now northern Chile, blanketed the landscape in a formation known as ignimbrite. This rock is left over after a pyroclastic flow ‪—‬ a mix of rock, volcanic gas and ash that sweeps over the landscape like a broiling tsunami. Pyroclastic flow is what buried the Roman town of Pompeii after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, preserving buildings and people where they fell.Now,…

Scientists have a new view of the ground under Los Angeles, and it’s a bit shaky.The 3D model of the Los Angeles basin shows that downtown LA is underpinned by up to 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) of sediment, which will likely amplify shaking from any earthquake that hits the region. That’s not entirely new information, but the underground map is more precise than ever before, and it should help earthquake scientists better understand which areas of the city are most vulnerable.”With this improved model of the basin, we now know the shape of the edges of the basin in a…

States are pouring billions into remote monitoring and virtual care infrastructure to address rural access gaps, but federal reimbursement changes could undermine the financial model many providers use to deliver those services. In July, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed changes to remote physiologic monitoring (RPM) and remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) reimbursement that stakeholders say would make many programs difficult to sustain. The policy change, tucked inside a hefty Medicare physician pay draft rule, marks a shift with far-reaching implications for RPM companies, primary care physicians, hospitals and health systems by eliminating third-party vendors. Medicare is aiming…

Hugo’s father, William Flint Cahan, who has attended each day of the inquest with other family members, says there was “complacency” by staff, as well as a lack of care. He maintains his son’s death was “preventable had the level of care been as it should have been.”Hugo’s brother, Jolyon, who is an NHS doctor, says the “litany of failures, both incompetence and dishonesty, that pervaded the care of both patients was harrowing.”Over the past 12 years, local coroners have sent at least 29 Prevention of Future Deaths (PFD) notices to the Trust. These are sent to an organisation when…

Since April, Matthew Juhren has spent up to 75 hours a week working remotely from his home office near Portland, Oregon. He spends most of that time alone. “The solitude of it all is new and different,” Juhren said, “and for an extroverted person, it can be difficult at times.” Spending too much time working alone can be harmful to your mental health, new research suggests. As companies announce new return-to-office mandates, experts say it’s important to incorporate meaningful social interaction into your day, regardless of where you work. People who live alone and work jobs that can be done…
