@glenpyle @clemencesfadj @AcademicChatter Honestly how I got my article for the #biom4180 blog post. Wasn't available on our system so I asked the author directly! He was super nice and even offered to answer any questions I might have had!
Energy drinks can "give you wings", but they can also put you in the hospital! Although no larg-scale studies exist, the collection of case reports and lab studies supporting a link between energy drinks and heart attacks is convincing! Check out this infographic #biom4180
@MuneebUofG Interesting article, I was always under the impression that plaque is very difficult to clear from arteries. Do you think this may be a reporting errror and they really meant to say it could reduce build-up of plaque or is it really a viable solution? #biom4180
The study also goes on to investigate the role of the caffeine-binding site in diseases such as CPVT as numerous disease-associated mutations have been shown to occur in RyR2. #BIOM4180 2/2
Anyone else love coffee but end up with a crazy rapid heartbeat after just a cup? While searching for an answer to my caffeine sensitivity, I came across this study which identifies a Trp residue in the RyR that regulates Ca2+ binding #biom4180 1/2 https://t.co/HO9i9cl1Ej
At-home yoga seems to be a popular pastime these days. This neat study looked to see if yoga can help recovery from AMI. The results look promising, showing an increase in self-rated health and return to pre-infarct activities #biom4180 https://t.co/Y5TwHz9BS4
First year meets fourth year-Researchers at POSTECH have found that a protein from mussels (mussel adhesive protein) enhances stem cell treatment of myocardial infarction through its adhesive and angiogenic properties #biol1070#biom4180 https://t.co/N46xPXyZF4
@teacardiology This is really interesting! I was wondering what effect birth control pills would have after learning about the Estrogen-Protective Hypothesis. I would have thought it would be protective since it is younger women taking them, clearly it is pretty complex! #biom4180
Some more bath-related info from Japan, this study estimates ~13000 deaths nationwide between October and March. They found that 33% of deaths they recorded were attributable to cardiac arrest #biom4180 https://t.co/OKio1HUcib
Anyone else going down random internet wormholes these days? I just learned sudden bath-related death is a common concern for the elderly in Japan. This study suggests that cardiac events are the underlying cause for at least half of the deaths #biom4180 https://t.co/AeRWi7HOXh
Recent research (remotely) presented at the ACC.20/WCC shows too little AND too much sleep can increase atherosclerotic risk. It was concluded that 7-8 hours/night is the sweet spot, so maybe don't turn off those alarm clocks while in isolation! #biom4180 https://t.co/4lijoFTcmA
@Avincognito@NotSoRAK Thank you! Just realising for many of us this was our last real lecture our undergrads and I am so happy it was such a memorable one! #biom4180
@Theflowofthehe1 This is really interesting considering our FOOD4090 class focuses on the overwhelming evidence for the benefits of omega-3s, they almost sounded too good to be true! #biom4180
Isn't it cool when different courses interconnect? In NUTR 4320 we learn extensively about gut microbiota connections to disease. Researchers have recently identified a unique bacterial profile to predict PAH with 83% accuracy! Read about it here #biom4180 https://t.co/nqI8Fd4rsq
Oral health is more connected to overall health than we might think. A new toothpaste that identifies missed plaque to improve brushing appears to have a connection in lowering levels of hs-CRP, a biomarker for strokes and heart attacks #biom4180 https://t.co/18U6RE4cg2
