@robertwilsonn30 @KyleGorospe My knowledge on specific mechanisms of viruses that lead to the onset of disease is faint. Though it’s interesting to see research on viruses (ex HERV’s potential to promote diseases) continue to grow. Here’s a great review about viruses and their roles! https://t.co/RmqroqYHc6
Here's a pretty cool case-control study looking at possible associations between CAD patients & subsequent changes in the gut microbiome, which plays an important role in digestion, immune system strength, & other aspects of your overall health #biom4180 https://t.co/ol1EYNGZhs
@CardiologyTony Check out my groups video, where we describe the associations between the gut microbiome and increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD)! #biom4180@CardiologyTony https://t.co/r5sdSVPivN
@KaitlinScherer That's awesome! Yes exactly, that's the best part about getting into higher level courses like we're in and students can start to make connections between different courses. :) #biom4180
I'm not usually one to take tub baths but I might have to reconsider. A long term study published in "Health," found a link between taking hot baths each day and a lower risk of heart disease leading to death. #biom4180 https://t.co/lTu48syOfq
Interesting article outlining the risk factors of becoming ill with COVID-19 while already having pre-existing heart disease. Articles such as this one emphasize the importance of staying home to protect yourself and the ones around you. #biom4180

just a suggestion, but if you're interested in learning more about the gut microbiome and associated topics, a great course to do so at the University of Guelph, in addition to #BIOM4180, is NUTR 4320 (Nutr. & Metabolic Control of Disease)!
@CardiologyTony @bhav_aishwarya My go-to favourite study playlist! Definitely helped me deal with anxiousness while studying for #biom4180 https://t.co/ecpWMEAYg0
Think the gym is always beneficial for your #HeartHealth? Think again! Those with underlying #HeartDisease may be at risk of #angina pectoris when exposed to stress triggers such as physical activity. Check out my infographic to learn more about your risk factors! #biom4180
Fan of omelettes? Well here's good news! A long-term study conducted by researchers at the Fuwai Hospital, China determined that eating the right amount of eggs per week could have cardiovascular health benefits..have an eggcelent day! #biom4180 https://t.co/wu4k5HyD3z
A relevant article considering the number of people that have been posting their isolation fitness routines on social media. It is important to keep up your activity levels during these times and understand what your body can handle and that is apparent in this article. #biom4180
A note of caution to those planning to hit the gym after #socialdistancing ends. Resuming exercise slowly is key to preventing cardiovascular events after a long period of rest. Better yet, check out online #AtHomeWorkouts to stay fit! #biom4180

speaking of isolation, increased risk of heart disease and stroke can be a result of self isolation and may become a bigger concern as time goes on #biom4180 https://t.co/P8LXZ7htHz
With (hopefully) all of us isolating and the world experiencing a reduction in GHG emissions/pollution, it might be a good time to read this article outlining how the combination of CVD and increased air pollution exposure can lead to dementia #biom4180 https://t.co/rM7r6bXpLd
This article outlined the prognosis of those classified to have either takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TSC), coronary artery disease (CAD), or no disease at all and found that TSC patients may be at higher risk of mortality from CVD than we thought. #BIOM4180

Although our second #BIOM4180 test is over, stress levels must still be through the roof during midterm season. Give yourself time to relax & de-stress or you may be increasingly susceptible to stress-induced cardiomyopathy, as described in this article https://t.co/U0aB2Yn1N0
Considering this was potentially my last class as an undergraduate student due to the class cancellations, I’m so glad I was able to spend it listening to @NotSoRAK, a former heart transplant recipient. Thank you for making this class a memorable and inspiring one! #biom4180
As enjoyable as the #biom4180 lectures are for me, we are moving the remaining lectures online & adding virtual discussions.
As a scientist who makes evidence-based decisions this is in the best interests of the students, instructors, TAs, & public health. #FlattenTheCurve
