Microcytic anemias, which affect all cell lines, can have adverse effects on brain and nervous system health. Iron deficiency #anemia, the most common type of microcytic anemia, can cause #cognitive impairment. 🧵(1/18)
Iron is crucial for #brain function, and its #deficiency can reduce #oxygen delivery to the brain, affecting #cognitive processes like #attention, #memory, and learning. (2/18)

1. 45-year old Vani was admitted with complaints of epileptic fits followed by disorientation and confusion. A small brain infarct (clot) was seen, which was presumed to be the cause of seizure.
1. 45-year old Vani was admitted with complaints of epileptic fits followed by disorientation and confusion. A small brain infarct (clot) was seen, which was presumed to be the cause of seizure.
2. She had no obvious risk factors for stroke, and moreover, the clot was located in cerebellar vermis, which usually does not cause convulsions. So, we needed to look for other causes for her epileptic fits. Vani had become conscious the next day, and history was reviewed.
3. Vani admitted to consuming alcohol on daily basis for more than a year, and had abruptly stopped consuming alcohol one day prior (as she was fasting for a religious festival).
Now, the cause of seizure was obvious- alcohol withdrawal syndrome (ADS).

It has been reported that athletes are more likely to consume excessive amounts of alcohol, especially as part of binge-drinking practices in team sports. Can these practices affect muscle protein synthesis?

In this one, a higher adherence to the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8 cardiovascular health score was found to be associated with lower risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among US adults.
- The American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8 cardiovascular health score consists of 8 modifiable metrics: physical activity, diet, smoking status, BMI, systolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, cholesterol, and sleep.

2. Of 1536668 patients (mean age 29.5 years, 71.5% male, and median follow-up of 6-years), 3153 experienced an incident stroke (incidence rate, 0.37 per 1,000 person-years).
Adults who consumed more than 105 g/week of alcohol had higher risk of stroke, especially brain hemorrhage
Adults who consumed more than 105 g/week of alcohol had higher risk of stroke, especially brain hemorrhage
3. Conclusion
Young adults who engaged in moderate-to-heavy drinking demonstrated a higher risk for incident stroke, especially hemorrhagic stroke

Here is the table of risk change, the report uses lifelong abstainers as the control.
Darker the red, higher the risk.
Scary, yes?
Keep in mind, negatives numbers indicate a protective effect.

If you 'celebrated' last night, and are 30 or over, you've probably spent today grappling with a phenomenon @elisjames flagged up recently
The 'psychological' hangover. The intense anxiety/unease that lays you low all day, or longer. What's that about?

@elisjames It's a bit of a cliché, in the UK at least; when you start drinking at 18 (*cough*) you can cane it all night, wake up and feel crap for a couple of hours, but then bounce back and do it all again, guilt free and right as rain
But as you get older, that gets... harder

Usually around your late twenties, but especially after them, your hangovers change. The physical effects may be less intense, but they endure longer. And the mental aspect is way worse. No more laughing it off, it's at least a day of feeling crap/sluggish/paranoid etc.

This one found adherence to multiple healthy lifestyle factors to be associated with improved circulating metabolites from different pathways, with fatty acids mediating the association between all 5 lifestyle factors and the risk of CVD in individuals with diabetes.
- This study aimed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the associations of multiple lifestyle factors (waist circumference, smoking status, alcohol intake, physical activity, and diet) with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomics among individuals with diabetes.
- Adherence to healthy lifestyle factors, including non central obesity, non-current smoking, moderate alcohol intake, physically active, and healthy diet, was associated with 44 plasma metabolites across multiple metabolic pathways.

3. Survey included 52,000 physicians from 17 countries (from data published between Jan 2006-Mar 2020).
Results showed problematic alcohol use varied widely regardless of measurement method used.
The rate was 0%-34% with AUDIT, 9%-35% with AUDIT-C, and 4%-22% with CAGE.

Research says most people who use drugs are men. And many people think there is no reason to involve #women in #drugpolicy. But they are mistaken. The drug phenomenon is not #gender neutral.

Why a #feminist perspective is essential 👉💡🧵...
Due to gendered norms and notions of #femininity that are incompatible with #drugs use, the complex realities of women are often ignored. However, a growing movement is trying to shift this perspective to better understand the unique challenges that female users face.
Voy a abrir un hilo sobre los #extintores, un elemento de seguridad pasiva contra #incendios, que tenemos muy al alcance de la mano pero, que es un gran desconocido.
En el anterior Reglamento de Instalaciones de Protección contra incendios, la altura de instalación de los extintores era de 170 cm. Ahora, la nueva normativa en España indica que deben de ser instalados a una altura mínima de 80 cm y a una altura máxima de 120 cm sobre el suelo.
La #distancia mínima entre #extintores es de 15 metros siempre cumpliendo con la altura, visibilidad y accesibilidad establecidos. Por lo que el recorrido máximo horizontal desde cualquier punto no debe de superar los 15 metros. Mínimo 1 extintor en cada planta.
This study in Finnish twins finds that an unhealthy lifestyle during pubertal years (obesity, smoking, binge drinking, low levels of physical activity) is associated with accelerated biological aging in young adulthood.
- Both the class with the overall unhealthiest lifestyle and that with a high BMI were biologically 1.7–3.3 years older than the classes with healthier lifestyle patterns when DNAm GrimAge was used...
... and had 2–5 weeks/calendar year faster pace of biological aging when using DunedinPoAm.

En el día mundial contra el #CancerDeMama, quiero recordar uno de los factores de riesgo evitables implicados en el desarrollo de este tumor. El consumo de alcohol. Lo primero, que tenemos que tener claro, es que el alcohol es un factor de riesgo de muchos tipos de cáncer. #hilo
Y es que un factor de riesgo en medicina equivale a “comprar papeletas” para que te “toque” una enfermedad. Si fumas, “compras boletos“ para el cáncer de pulmón (y otros). Si bebes, para el de hígado, mama, colon, etc. Cuanto más #alcohol, más papeletas ⤵️
¿Que hay gente que ha fumado y bebido mucho y no ha tenido cáncer? Claro, igual que hay gente que toda la vida juega a la lotería y no le toca nunca.
¿Y por qué hay gente que tiene un cáncer de pulmón si no ha fumado o de hígado si no ha bebido?

Did you know that the earliest chemical evidence of BARLEY #BEER #BREWING was discovered in the #Zagros mountains of Iran? A big part of why I decided to start @BackHomeBeer was to change the narrative about alcohol in the #MiddleEast. 1/5
Yes, #alcohol was outlawed in Iran in 1980 - but that was just 40 years ago. When my parents & grandparents lived in #Iran, there were #Breweries, #Distilleries and beautiful #Vineyards. 2/5
Before 1980, there was a rich history of #Fermentation that dates back thousands of years in the #MiddleEast. So when people ask me how I can brew a #Persian inspired #Beer….it’s because I want people to know these facts about the history of #Brewing in the region. 3/5

In line with several previous studies, this one found hypoglycemia (glucose <3.0 mmol/L) to result in declines in important aspects of cognitive function, with the decline being consistent in adults with or without diabetes and largely independent of clinical factors.
- In this study, the authors enrolled clinically distinct subgroups of people with diabetes, and control subjects, using the same methodology allowing for direct comparison between different diabetic phenotypes and subjects without diabetes.
- Hypoglycemia deteriorated cognitive performance in all groups of participants to a similar extent, with effect sizes ranging from small to medium.
