#twittertakeover on #IWD22 Hi everyone, it’s @cheryl_carcel taking over @georgeinstitute on International Women’s Day! Will be tweeting on things I am passionate about- sex differences in CVD and brain health and representation in clinical trials!
More research is needed to study cardiovascular disease in women. It’s important to recognise the understudied signs and symptoms of heart disease and stroke in women. This can lead to timely diagnosis and early life-saving treatment. #AdvanceEquality#IWD22@heartfoundation
Sex-Differences in Oral Anticoagulant-Related Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Important work by @HanneKChr, @LouisaMChriste1 and team. In patients with OAC-related ICH, women less likely to receive reversal agents and more likely to receive DNR orders. frontiersin.org/article/10.338…
Interesting read from @womensbrainpro - group that advocates proper consideration of sex and gender at all levels of healthcare. The role of sex and gender differences in precision medicine: the work of the Women’s Brain Project academic.oup.com/eurheartj/arti…@cheryl_carcel

(1/10) ❗️Disclaimer❗️: Not an #intersectionality expert but care about #intersectionality & #healthequity. I want my research to reflect personal values. Below are just some of my musings on this ⬇️
(2/10) In my #epidemiology research, often constrained by what data is available to me...
e.g. forced to conflate #sex & #gender, treat gender as binary construct, collapse #ethnicity into meaningless categories etc. This is not good research! ☠️
(3/10) Most importantly, not doing justice to the people my research is aimed to serve. Want to change that.
Are you #aware❓⤵️ #Womenwasteworkers in India work under grueling conditions & are exposed to various occupational hazards, including extreme weather conditions, contact with stray animals, exposure to toxins & risks of accidents, falls & injuries. #IWD2022#AdvanceEquality
#IWD2022 : #Reproductive & #sexualhealth needs are one of the major concerns of women waste workers which is disregarded in academic discourse & policy making.
👉Lack of availability & access to comprehensive #primaryhealthcare severely curtails utilization of health services!
Hi everyone! It's @laurahallam29 here, taking over @georgeinstitute after @cheryl_carcel for #IWD22. I'm here to talk about my interests in promoting consideration of sex and gender in health and medical research and addressing unmet needs in women's health!
Medical devices are often not designed for, or adequately tested in women. Impact - women are more likely than men to suffer complications or device failures after common interventions like hip replacements. #AdvanceEquality#IWD22
I am currently working with @georgeinstitute's innovation team, Genovate, and the Global Women's Health Program to look at how technology has potential to address unmet needs in women's health, including how to make current technology more suitable for women.
