  • High BP in men in their 30s linked with dementia risk in their 70s

    High BP in men in their 30s linked with dementia risk in their 70s

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Having high blood pressure in your 30s is associated with worse brain health around age 75 like high dementia risk, especially for men, a new study has revealed.

    The research, published in JAMA Network Open, found that the high blood pressure group had significantly lower regional brain volumes and worse white matter integrity. Both factors are associated with dementia.

    The researchers from University of California-Davis Health compared magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans of older adults who had high blood pressure between the ages of 30 to 40 with older adults who had normal blood pressure.

    MS Education Academy

    The research also showed that the negative brain changes in some regions — such as decreased grey matter volume and frontal cortex volume — were stronger in men.

    The differences may be related to the protective benefits of estrogen before menopause.

    “Treatment for dementia is extremely limited, so identifying modifiable risk and protective factors over the life course is key to reducing disease burden,” said Kristen M. George, an assistant professor in the Department of Public Health Sciences.

    High blood pressure is an incredibly common and treatable risk factor associated with dementia.

    “This study indicates hypertension status in early adulthood is important for brain health decades later,” George added.

    Compared to participants with normal blood pressure, the brain scans of those transitioning to high blood pressure or with high blood pressure showed lower cerebral gray matter volume, frontal cortex volume and fractional anisotropy (a measure of brain connectivity).

    The scores for men with high blood pressure were lower than those for women.

    The study joins a growing body of evidence that cardiovascular risk factors in young adulthood are detrimental to late-life brain health.

    “This study truly demonstrates the importance of early life risk factors, and that to age well, you need to take care of yourself throughout life — heart health is brain health,” said Rachel Whitmer, senior author of the study.

  • Rockets fired at Israel from Lebanon raises risk of conflict

    Rockets fired at Israel from Lebanon raises risk of conflict

    [ad_1]

    israel palestinians 81613

    The U.N. peacekeeping force in south Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, said in a statement that there had been “multiple rocket launches from southern Lebanon toward Israel” and the the Israeli army had informed UNIFIL that it activated its Iron Dome defense system in response.

    The head of the peacekeeping force, Maj. Gen. Aroldo Lázaro has been in contact with both Lebanese and Israeli authorities, the statement said. “The current situation is extremely serious. UNIFIL urges restraint and to avoid further escalation,” it added.

    Earlier on Thursday and late Wednesday night, Palestinian militants in Gaza had fired rockets toward Israel in protest over an escalation at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City.

    No faction in Lebanon claimed responsibility for the salvo of rockets, which set off air raid sirens across the country’s north and which Israeli media estimated to be larger than previous launches from Lebanon in recent years.

    Lebanese security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media said the rockets had been fired from the area of a Palestinian refugee camp — suggesting that the rockets had been fired by Palestinian militants based in Lebanon.

    The Israeli military said that one of the rockets was shot down by Israel’s Iron Dome aerial defense system and did not immediately say how many missiles had struck the country. Israeli medics reported that a 19-year-old male was hit by shrapnel and mildly wounded, while a 60-year-old woman was injured after falling as she sprinted to a bomb shelter.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he’d convene his security cabinet late Thursday to discuss the assault and possible retaliation. Israeli forces shelled south Lebanon in response to the rocket fire, Israeli and Lebanese security officials said. Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that Israeli tanks along the border targeted two towns near the Rashidiyeh Palestinian refugee camp.

    The Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad hailed the rockets as “a heroic operation against the Israeli crimes in the Al-Aqsa Mosque.” The leader of the Palestinian Hamas group that rules Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, also arrived in Beirut on Wednesday, Lebanese state media reported.

    The compound home to the Al-Aqsa Mosque is the third-holiest site in Islam and stands on a hilltop known to Jews as the Temple Mount, revered as the holiest site in Judaism. Conflicting claims over the site have spilled into violence before, including a bloody 11-day war two years ago between Israel and Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules Gaza.

    For the past two nights — a volatile time during which the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and the Jewish holiday of Passover overlap — Palestinians have tried to barricade themselves in the mosque in protest over threats by religious Jews to sacrifice animals at the sacred site and over perceived Israeli restrictions to Muslim prayers.

    Palestinians have been trying to pray overnight at the mosque, which is typically only permitted during the last 10 days of the monthlong holiday. In the last days, Israeli police have stormed into the mosque, firing tear gas and stun grenades and fiercely beating Palestinians, who set off firecrackers and hurled stones.

    Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group condemned the storming of the mosque, calling it “a flagrant violation of believers in Jerusalem that violated religious, moral and human values.”

    Muslim leaders around the Middle East have criticized the Israeli actions in Al-Aqsa, including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose country recently reconciled with Israel and restored full diplomatic ties.

    “Interventions and threats against the historical status and spirituality of Al-Aqsa Mosque as well as the Palestinians’ right to life and religious beliefs must come to an end,” Erdogan told Turkey’s 24 TV.

  • Delhi excise policy case: Sisodia seeks bail, says he is neither flight risk nor CBI found incriminating evidence

    Delhi excise policy case: Sisodia seeks bail, says he is neither flight risk nor CBI found incriminating evidence

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday sought bail from a city court, saying he was neither a flight risk nor the CBI has found anything incriminating against him in its probe into the alleged irregularities relating to the excise policy, which, he added, was formulated “purely in the normal course.” Special Judge M K Nagpal, who deferred the hearing on Sisodia’s bail plea till March 24 for clarification and submissions, meanwhile issued a notice to the Enforcement Directorate and sought its response by March 25. The money-laundering case being probed by ED is an offshoot of the main case registered by the CBI.

    During the hearing, which continued for more than an hour, the lawyers for the senior AAP leader said there was no documentary evidence of him receiving “kickbacks” and the allegation that the accused destroyed documentary evidence was “vague”.

    Senior advocates Dayan Krishnan and Mohit Mathur, appearing for Sisodia, said the accused cooperated in the probe and none of the searches led to the seizure of any incriminatory evidence and moreover, there was no further need for his custodial interrogation by the CBI.

    The CBI, so far, has quizzed Sisodia in its custody for seven days.

    The senior lawyers said Sisodia was not a flight risk and regarding the allegations that the accused manipulated the excise policy, there was no documentary evidence of receiving kickbacks.

    They said changes in the excise policy were made “purely in the normal course” and that it was a government policy, which was approved by the Delhi lieutenant governor and the law secretary.

    The lawyers also said that Sisodia’s wife was suffering from an incurable disease, for which the medical treatment could only slow the degenerative condition, and that he was the only person to take care of his wife.

    Opposing the bail plea, CBI’s special public prosecutor D P Singh said though Sisodia was not a flight risk, he was “definitely” in a position to influence witnesses and destroy evidence. If he is given the relief, “the investigation will be compromised”, Singh said.

    “We have only 36 days left to file the chargesheet. Till that time he (Sisodia) being released on bail will scuttle our investigation,” the SPP said.

    The prosecutor said Sisodia, who was dealing with an “unprecedented” 18 ministries, implemented the excise policy with “high handedness” in the way he and the representatives of the “south group” wanted. “A person is a saint till the time his irregularities are discovered,” the SPP said. To this, Sisodia’s advocates raised objections.

    The SPP said Sisodia was “upset” over an expert committee report on the excise policy and that after seeing a draft cabinet note, he had “flared up” on an excise commissioner and “called a public servant, whatever he could.” Regarding Sisodia’s frequent changing of phones, Singh said these were not “innocent” actions and that phones were changed for the destruction of evidence. Along with phones, the files were also destroyed, the CBI prosecutor said.

    He said the note which was put up in the cabinet along with the file containing the minutes of several meetings was missing. Besides staying in a Delhi hotel from March 14 to 17, 2021, the representatives of the “south group” also flew into the national capital by a chartered flight during the days of peak Covid-19, he said.

    In the rejoinder submissions, the counsel for Sisodia said while dealing with policy decisions, it has to be kept in mind that merely because a second view was possible, it did not make the decision a crime.

    “I am not holding any public post now. In any case, the LG is dealing with civil servants. The issue of control is with the Supreme Court now,” one of the advocates said.

    Sisodia is at present in the Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody.

    Earlier, in his bail application, Sisodia stated that he joined the investigation as and when called by the central agencies.

    He further stated that no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping him in custody as all the recoveries have already been made, adding that the other accused in this case have already been granted bail.

    The CBI on February 26 arrested Sisodia in connection with alleged corruption in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22.

    The ED arrested Sisodia on March 9 evening in Tihar jail, where he was lodged in connection with the case being probed by the CBI.

  • Lives at risk as delivery agents race against time to avoid penalties

    Lives at risk as delivery agents race against time to avoid penalties

    [ad_1]

    Noida: Two delivery agents were killed in separate accidents while they were on duty on Holi. Both the deceased were hit by cars as they raced against the clock to avoid penalties and deliver the orders in time.

    According to the police, one of the deceased, identified as Bunty worked as a delivery boy in Noida. He was on his way to deliver an order when an unidentified car driver hit his scooty in Sector-112 of Noida on March 8.

    He was admitted to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries during treatment.

    In the second incident, Deepak, who worked as a delivery agent in Big Basket, met with an accident while he was on his way to deliver an order near Lotus Boulevard society here, at around 3 p.m. on the same day.

    Deepak was hit by a car and was admitted to a government hospital in Nithari where he passed away during treatment.

    Sector-39 police station in-charge Ajay Chehar, said that the police sent his body for postmortem and arrested the car driver.

    The increase in such accidents points towards the tough competition in the field and the increasing pressure faced by the agents to deliver the orders on time.

    Many Apps have fixed time durations for the delivery agents, who, in the course of adhering to it, risk their lives on the roads.

    Police officials said that such accidents have increased due to the pressure faced by the agents to deliver the order within the stipulated time limit. Pressurised by the companies, the agents resort to violating traffic rules and over-speeding to achieve the target.

    Police officials said that the extra weight that the agents carry also becomes a factor leading to accidents as their vehicles lose balance.

    Bal Govind Mishra, who works as a delivery partner in a food App based company, said that he picked up an order from a restaurant on March 15, after which he was informed of a health emergency at his home.

    Mishra said that he frantically reached his home and dialled the customer care service of the company, asking them to assign the delivery to another agent, which was denied.

    He alleged that he was warned of being fined if he failed to deliver the order. Upon refusal, the company imposed a fine of double the amount of money involved.

    He stated that he has appealed in the Labour Court regarding the matter.

    Talking to IANS, Mishra said that the company earns around Rs 500 if a delivery agent logs in for 10 hours, out of which the latter is paid Rs 200.

    He added that when the log-in time is of 15-16 hours, the company earns around Rs 750 and pays Rs 350 to the agent.

    He said that many a times restaurant workers trick the agents by falsely sending a notification of the order being ready on the food delivery App, but when an agent reaches there, they end up waiting for long intervals.

    He said that only a notice is issued by the App to the concerned restaurant in this regard.

    Mishra added that in the current scenario, delivery agents’ work carries great pressure and gets really difficult and tiring.

  • Sen. Menendez: Biden’s policies risk making him ‘asylum-denier-in-chief’

    Sen. Menendez: Biden’s policies risk making him ‘asylum-denier-in-chief’

    [ad_1]

    1244834302

    If President Joe Biden follows through with plans his administration is weighing to restart family detention for migrants, he risks becoming “the asylum denier in chief,” Sen. Bob Menendez said Sunday.

    “The best part of the administration’s immigration policy over the first two years is that they ended family detention,” Menendez (D-N.J.) said during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” calling the policy a “failure.”

    “When the administration opened up a legal pathway to those fleeing, it dramatically saw a reduction in assistance — an example of what you can do in a way that is both good for the border and preserves our nation as a nation that preserves asylum,” Menendez said. “But if not, if the administration does go down this path, I am afraid the president will become the ‘asylum denier in chief.’”

    The comments come after reports that the Biden administration is considering reinstating the policy, which would require families who attempt to cross the U.S. border illegally to be detained as their cases work their way through immigration court.

    This would only exacerbate the situation at the southern border, which Menendez noted is already tense, particularly after four Americans were kidnapped — two of whom died — shortly after crossing the border into Mexico.

    “The reality is along the border communities, it is the cartels that run the border communities, not the government of Mexico,” Menendez said, adding that he is concerned the U.S. is “headed in the wrong direction in Mexico.”

    “We have to engage the Mexicans in a way that says, ‘You’ve got to do a lot more in your security.’ We can help them, you know. We have intelligence. We have other information we can share. But we need them to enforce in their own country,” Menendez said.

  • COVID-19 survivers at 5 times higher risk of cardiac death: Telangana IMA

    COVID-19 survivers at 5 times higher risk of cardiac death: Telangana IMA

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Telangana Indian Medical Association estimated that youngsters who suffered COVID-19 infection last year are prone to a five times higher risk of death by cardiac arrest.

    With an alarming increase in the number of sudden death cases being reported in Telangana, the situation begs further analysis and close scrutiny of these unfortunate events.

    According to one estimate by the IMA, the mechanism by which COVID-19 causes these deaths is multifactorial.

    Altered lifestyle, increased stress and reduced preventive checks also contributed to these excess deaths that are unlikely to be related to the COVID-19 vaccines given the present evidence and
    temporal sequence of events.

    However, further research on the matter may help alleviate the fears of the public, said their press note.

    Two kinds of sudden cardiac deaths

    • Deaths following an acute heart attack are predominant ones that are witnessed in slightly elder subgroups and in those with traditional coronary risk factors and they follow an acute heart attack.
    • Sudden deaths due to causes other than heart attack are rare instances in previously healthy individuals without any coronary risk factors.

    Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome, Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, and congenital coronary anomalies are some of the causes behind such events.

    While the first group is amenable to detection by traditional preventive cardiac tests like ECG, ECHO and TMT, and can be avoided to a considerable extent by cardio-protective behaviour, the second group needs different detection algorithms like long-term ECG monitoring, electrophysiological testing, and genetic testing in individuals with higher risk.

    IMA advises individuals to follow the guidance

    Individuals above 30 years are encouraged to get their blood pressure, blood sugar and fasting lipid profile checked.

    Those above 40 years may get an annual cardiac check-up done which should include an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and an exercise tolerance (treadmill) test.

    This may be done from an earlier age if there are coronary risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, smoking, family history of heart disease, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, lack of proper sleep and increased psychological stress.

    Following preventive cardiac behaviour which entails eating healthy, exercising regularly, maintaining ideal body weight, avoiding smoking and moderating alcohol consumption, reducing stress, sleeping for a minimum of six to eight hours and detecting and controlling hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol are advised to avoid heart attacks.

    Citizens are encouraged to learn bystander CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and AED usage and encourage others to learn CPR as well.

    Avoid strenuous activity in an inebriated state, and slowly get back (and not rush) to previous exercise levels following viral infections.

    People are advised not to panic looking at the hyped-up deaths being documented in the media reports. It is important to realize that these are not homogenous events and there are many different and sometimes unknown causes for these unfortunate deaths.

    People are advised not to follow crash diets which may lead to sudden changes in metabolism.

    IMA urges the government to take preventive measures:

    To hasten the CPR training sessions as stated by the health minister with a goal to empower at least 50 percent of the adult population with this skill by the end of 2024.

    To install the public access defibrillators as promised by the IT minister KTR to enhance their numbers and reach, the instructions from these defibrillators should be in local languages.

    To include CPR as the curriculum in higher secondary school education so that children are equipped with this essential life skill.

    To gather data and collect statistics about sudden cardiac arrests and keep the same in the public domain for constructive discussion and understanding.

    To allocate funds for research into the reasons regarding these deaths, especially in the young and to coordinate and publish clinical studies with a view to reducing sudden deaths.

    To advise the public to allow a post-mortem examination of the suddenly departed.

    To reduce the panic among the public by sharing genuine information regarding heart diseases and heart health and to quell false information.

    To constitute “Sudden Death Investigation Committees” with the help of IMA doctors to probe into each sudden death to reduce panic due to the perceived causes of sudden deaths.
