As we wrap up #biom4180, let's not forget the importance of using knowledge translation in our future careers!

Thank you @glenpyle for such a unique academic experience!

What's the big hype around #ketones?🧐 This review suggest they may serve as an energy substrate in heart failure!
Ketones bodies may be preferentially utilized in the 🫀for metabolism & promote cardiovascular benefits on a systemic level

Our last day of #biom4180 happens to fall on #WorldAutismDay!
On the topic of #cardiology, one study had shown associations between congenital ❤ defects and austism, even when accounting for genetic syndromes. https://t.co/FiWDOKrYXQ

Anyone else tired of these weather fluctuations? Studies show that for every 5 degree jump in temperature, risk of heart attack ⬆️ by 5%. It’s scary that we are living in the extreme weather fluctuations caused by #GlobalWarming 🌍 #biom4180 https://t.co/fQaoqV30qd

#SelfCare has been a major focus for younger individuals, but its not easy for patients w/ #HeartFailure

Trips to the dentist aren't always fun, but the health benefits extend beyond your teeth! 🦷A study followed patients over 30 years & found that #cavities were linked to a 4.5X⬆️risk of #stroke. Further research is looking into the exact cause! #biom4180 https://t.co/Z1EYTFMAv2

#CardiacRemodeling 🫀occurs from changes in myocyte structure & can lead to #HF. A new study examined the effects of a protein hormone called #Irisin in rats & found that it ⬇️ the apoptotic rate (TUNEL pos %) of myocytes, among many outcomes #biom4180
