Healthcare Knuggets

Oct 16, 2024

Hey there! I’ve got some great news to share with you. First off, let’s talk about the battle against cardiovascular disease. Despite some setbacks, there are trends giving experts hope, and I’m feeling optimistic about the future of cardiovascular health. Plus, a new study on GLP-1s and suicidality in youth is showing promising results, which is fantastic news for adolescent mental health.

And here’s something else to be excited about – a new study has identified potential brain cell targets for Alzheimer’s treatments, which could lead to more effective therapies in the future. We’re also seeing positive movements in the realm of elderly caregiving, with proposals for a Medicare benefit for long-term home care.

And in the world of disaster preparation, health systems are adapting to the new normal for hospital disaster prep, making costly physical upgrades and better preparations to handle dangerous storm surges. Despite some challenges, facilities are largely passing the test and finding new ways to remain open amid uncertain track forecasts.

Overall, there’s a lot of progress and positive developments happening in the healthcare world, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. Stay tuned for more exciting updates, and remember to take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Take care,

Summy

Stay Well!
