🌍 The Impact of Climate Change on Heat and Cold-Related Mortality in Europe Hot and cold environments challenge the human body, and when our physiological and behavioral adaptations are overwhelmed, the consequences can be severe, leading to morbidity and even mortality. As the climate continues to warm, epidemiological studies have increasingly focused on the health risks associated with ambient temperature changes. 🔎 Key findings: The relationship between temperature and mortality often forms a U or J shape, with deaths increasing at both hot and cold extremes. However, cold-related risks affect more people and cause a larger burden of mortality overall. Future mortality risks depend not just on rising temperatures but also on factors such as disease prevalence, population demographics, and socio-economic conditions like energy poverty and social isolation. 📊 Recent studies, such as those by David García-León and colleagues in The Lancet Public Health, show that Europe’s ageing population, particularly in the south and east, faces increasing vulnerability to temperature extremes. In fact, cold-related deaths currently outnumber heat-related deaths by a factor of 8.3, though this ratio could shrink to 2.5 by 2100 as heat-related deaths rise with climate change. 💡 These findings challenge the assumption that a warmer Europe will necessarily reduce cold-related mortality. The study underscores the need for nuanced, multidimensional projections to inform climate policy, considering both environmental and societal changes. #ClimateChange #PublicHealth #Epidemiology

A Deeper Dive into Heat Wave-Induced Injuries As the planet grapples with the escalating severity of heat waves, a phenomenon exacerbated by anthropogenic climate change, the spectrum of heat-related injuries broadens alarmingly. These meteorological events, characterized by abnormally high temperatures sustained over a significant duration, pose an insidious threat to public health. The Pathophysiology of Heat-Related Maladies The human body maintains a delicate homeostasis, with thermoregulation being a cornerstone of its physiological equilibrium. Heat waves disrupt this balance, leading to a cascade of pathophysiological responses. The spectrum ranges from benign conditions such as heat cramps, precipitated by electrolyte imbalances due to profuse sweating, to life-threatening entities like heatstroke, where core body temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F), potentially culminating in multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Demographic Disparities in Heat Vulnerability Certain cohorts within the population bear a disproportionate burden during these thermal extremes. The geriatric populace, paediatric segment, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions exhibit heightened susceptibility. Notably, occupational exposure to heat in regions such as South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa has precipitated a notable incidence of heat-induced renal pathology, manifesting as acute kidney injury (AKI). Strategies for Mitigation and Adaptation Preventative measures are paramount in the context of heat waves. Hydration, judicious scheduling of outdoor activities, and the utilization of climate-controlled environments constitute primary interventions. Early recognition of heat-related symptomatology and prompt initiation of cooling measures are critical in averting the progression to more severe illness. The Broader Context: Climate Change and Escalating Thermal Threats The interplay between climate change and heat waves is incontrovertible, with a discernible trend towards increased frequency, intensity, and duration of these events. The period from 2000 to 2016 witnessed a staggering 125 million additional individuals experiencing exposure to heat waves. This alarming statistic underscores the imperative for robust climate adaptation and mitigation strategies. Epilogue: A Call to Action in the Face of Thermal Adversity In confronting the burgeoning challenge posed by heat waves, it is incumbent upon us to catalyse a paradigm shift. https://lnkd.in/gtEes797

EP344: Climate Change and CVD and PFO at PD 2024: Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, discusses highlights from a medical conference he attended. He focuses on two key topics - the impact of climate change on cardiovascular health, and the treatment of patent foramen ovale (PFO), a common heart condition. Climate change is linked to increased inflammation, coagulation, heat stress, electrolyte imbalances, and air pollution - all of which can negatively impact heart health. Studies have shown that reducing secondhand smoke exposure can significantly lower heart attack risk in affected communities. PFO is a hole in the heart that typically closes at birth, but remains open in about 25% of people. This can allow blood clots to pass from the venous to arterial circulation, potentially causing strokes. Minimally invasive procedures can be used to close the PFO and prevent this complication. Doctor Bishop shares his own experience of having a PFO-related stroke, which resolved without lasting symptoms. He plans to have his PFO closed as a preventive measure. https://lnkd.in/gmagiRzV

 In controlling all obesity and diabetes.  The entire idea is if we can. Make the pancreatic beta cell less  Resistance to glucose recognition in the blood and improve pancreatic beta cell sensitivity then immediatel  the amount of insulin to be produced will come down. This is called insulin. sensitivity.  As  the pancreatic insulin sensitivity ,  increases this  reduces insulin reisitance  in the post prandial state . The beta cell will be saved, and the rate of apoptosis. of the beta cell will come down. This is done with cinnomon.

### 7. **Soil Changes** - **Impact**: Climate change can alter soil temperature, moisture, and nutrient availability, affecting plant growth and health. - **Adaptation**: Plants that can adjust their nutrient uptake and root growth in response to changing soil conditions may be more successful in adapting to these changes. https://lnkd.in/eVZixt9Z

The intersection of climate change and human health is a pressing global challenge. As our planet warms, the risks to our well-being become increasingly apparent. Key Impacts: * Air Pollution: Respiratory infections, cardiovascular diseases, and premature death. * Food and Water Scarcity: Malnutrition, cholera, and other waterborne illnesses. * Infectious Diseases: Lyme disease, malaria, dengue, and more, spread by insects and ticks. Rise in unknown infections diseases as climates shift, * Mental Health Crisis: Environmental degradation, food shortages, and economic hardship. Adapting to the Challenge: Effective adaptation requires a combination of existing and innovative strategies. Locally, healthcare sectors should expand programs to address climate-exacerbated risks. Globally, a mix of well-established public health solutions and novel approaches is needed to meet evolving demands. #healthandwellness #Mckinsey

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗮𝘆𝘀 🦟🚨 Another interesting talk I listened to during Nobel Week was the one given by Professor Kristie L. Ebi, which significantly impacted my perspective on the connection between climate change and health. At first, I thought the impact would be relatively straightforward: sure, extreme temperatures would challenge our bodies, but wouldn’t we find ways to adapt fairly easily? However, Professor Ebi highlighted factors I hadn’t considered, like how changing weather patterns are already driving the spread of vector-borne diseases. For instance, she explained that rising temperatures are enabling mosquitoes carrying 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 to migrate to new areas, including parts of the U.S. Cases there have been increasing, and it struck me how interconnected our ecosystems and health truly are. She also touched on other effects, like how elevated CO₂ levels are 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 of staple crops, which could have widespread implications for global health. Add to that the way extreme weather events disrupt healthcare services and exacerbate health inequities, and the picture becomes far more complex, and urgent, than I initially imagined. This presentation was a powerful reminder that health isn’t just about individual habits or medical care. It’s shaped by the 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 we live in, the systems we depend on, and the global changes we often take for granted. It left me with a deeper appreciation for the importance of tackling climate change not just for the planet, but for our collective well-being. Have you ever thought about the ways climate change might be influencing our health in ways we don’t immediately see? I’d love to hear your thoughts! #NobelWeek #ClimateChange #PublicHealth #HealthAndEnvironment #Sustainability #GlobalHealth #VectorBorneDiseases #DengueFever #ClimateAction #Nutrition

L#2020 - "The year 2020 was heavily defined by the COVID-19 pandemic." ALL microbial epidemics can be overcome by living rationally. -- To live a physiologically and psychologically optimal life means to ensure cortisol sensitivity which as the master regulator of the immune system means that we're equipped with what we need to fight off infections for ourselves. Distress (often called stress) is the killer - and we can understand Stress from a definition of Physiological and Psychological set-points (ranges) whereby deviation from these ranges - represent stress. -- Microbes are required to grow - by supporting factory farming like animal derived product formation we inadvertently provide the perfect reaction vessel for rapid development. -- Lack of human hygiene supports microbial propagation - easily remedied by changing the way we live. ~*~ Belt and Braces - If the virulent bug does not emerge (through human beings modifying Hygiene and Food intake profiles) and even if it did, if our immune system was in an optimal state which could deactivate the thread without breaking a sweat - then we've effectively prevented the microbial epidemic. Physiological and Psychological optimality can be determined by defining what results in increasing health longevity. This can be summarised (respectively) as living a pro-mitochondrial and pro-moral life. Foodstuff (and lifestyle more generally) consumed by definition controls the two biochemistries which the physical human body utilises (predominantly human hepatic and gut biomic biochemical network usage). ~*~ The physical Universe is a single evolving structure. The Mind is a single evolving structure. The Mind (as evolving structure) is part of the Universe (as single evolving structure). Evolution of the Mind is supported by time developing mind (the intended (but not realised) consequence of University in supporting learning). If we consider University rather than a series of competing organisations attempting to churn out high paying employess that spend their lives destroying the planet - instead as a model (the discovery of novel information, the dissemination of novel information) supporting the evolutionary nature of Mind (the development of Mental quality) - then we get to see the physical Universe and the mental Universe as similar in nature (both subject to evolutionary ascent) but though are required to consider evolution of the Physical (from first electromagnetic spectrum to first neurone) Universe and Mental Universe (emergence of Mind with Homo sapiens sapiens several hundreds of millions of years after first neurone) as two abstraction layers in the development of Universe actual or proper. The Universe is an information structure which is (at least currently) evolving at the level of the Human Mind.
