Experts warn cardiac patients about dengue illness. Heart patients should be aware that many drugs pose serious risks. KARACHI: Medical professionals believe dengue hemorrhagic fever poses a unique threat to cardiac patients because of the high risk of severe complications from numerous medications typically prescribed to such patients. They claimed that popular drugs used by cardiac patients, like blood thinners, can exacerbate the symptoms of dengue fever by causing hypertensive shock and internal bleeding. The disease spread by vectors has made the situation in Sindh urgent. Every day, four or seven people with heart problems and dengue fever are reported to private and public hospitals. It is recommended by health professionals that people take preventative measures, such as using mosquito nets, sprays, and mosquito repellents. Dr Javed, a cardiologist at Memon Medical Center, reported that the facility frequently treats patients with dengue. Dengue fever causes severe dehydration

Hip osteoarthritis increases stroke risk . According to a study, hip osteoarthritis may raise the incidence of stroke, ischemic stroke, and small-vessel ischemic stroke. Yingjun Li, MD, of the School of Public Health at Hangzhou Medical College, in Hangzhou, China, and co-authors wrote, "the real causal relationship between OA and stroke remains unclear because conclusions derived from observational studies were potentially biassed due to residual confounding such as OA medications and reverse causality." Using a novel Mendelian randomization (MR) method, the authors "confirmed whether OA is causally connected with stroke" and "investigated whether the stroke is causally associated with OA." According to research published in 2022 by Zhao et al. in Osteoarthr Cartil. (doi:10.1016/j.joca.2022.06.006), OA in the hip may increase the risk of ischemic, non-fatal, and small-vessel ischemic stroke. Li and colleagues conducted a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian

How global warming causes monkeypox outbreak

  How global warming causes monkeypox outbreak Some scientists believe that global warming helps disperse diseases like monkeypox to places that aren't normally found. According to World Health Organization, initial cases of monkeypox in 2022 have no proven connections to nations where the virus is endemic. On May 17 of this year (2022), Portugal recorded the first human monkeypox incidence.   According to Heidi Brown, an associate professor at The University of Arizona, an increase in disease occurs when there is congestion or when more people move to an area, exposing them to new diseases; however, there are also shifting disease patterns connected to climate change.   Brown investigates the connections between climate change, vector-borne diseases, zoonotic diseases, and spatial epidemiology in his studies. A faster rate of virus replication is one-way warming affects public health by raising the likelihood that people will come into touch with viruses or the insects that spre
