A new study suggests that people with cancer and non-O blood types, such as types A, B, and AB, face an increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE), or blood clots in the veins, three months after their initial diagnosis. Scientists
have long strived to understand the risk factors for VTE, the leading cause of preventable hospital deaths in the United States. Existing assessments use factors like tumor or cancer type to detect those at high risk of VTE. Yet, many patients without these diagnoses still develop life-threatening blood clots but go unidentified. VTE includes deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary...

An FDA-approved drug to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes also may decrease blood vessel dysfunction associated with aging, according to a new study. Researchers
initially examined the role aging plays in human blood vessel function and stiffness. Then they evaluated how treatment with the sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin (Empa) improved blood vessel function and reduced arterial stiffness in aged male mice. "Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death in older adults in the U.S.," said Camila Manrique-Acevedo, MD. "Weight loss, physical activity, antihypertensive therapy and lipid-lowering drugs have shown variable effectiveness at...

Blood clots can be dangerous if they form without good reason. Poor
lifestyle decisions promote the formation of blood clots but it's not always clear what's meant by "unhealthy". For example, consuming caffeine - a natural chemical found in coffee and energy drinks - can have unfavourable results.

“We are definitely aware of patients who have refused blood products from vaccinated donors,” said Dr. Julie Katz Karp, who directs the blood bank and transfusion medicine program at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals in Philadelphia.Emily Osment, an American Red Cross spokesperson, said her organization has fielded questions from clients worried that vaccinated
blood would be “tainted,” capable of transmitting components from the covid vaccines. Red Cross officials said they’ve had to reassure clients that a covid vaccine, which is injected into muscle or the layer of skin below, doesn’t circulate in the blood.

Since the scattering at Babel, the nations of the world have all tried to come up with a human remedy to answer the haunting effects of guilt and one's transgressions against Almighty God (Rom 1:18-32). Our
transgressions are against Almighty God and His ETERNAL spiritual and moral absolutes; and all must give an account to Him in RIGHTEOUSNESS (Rev. 21:11-15). Almighty God has provided a Savior and a RIGHTEOUS remedy to redeem and cleanse man from ALL his transgression and that remedy is found in Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17, 1 John 2:2, 4:10).

Boston, Mass. – The rate of infectious disease (ID) markers, such as those for HIV and hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV), in donated blood is higher for men who have sex with men (MSM) relative to blood donors overall, according to an analysis of data from more than 8.4
million blood donations collected from January 2017 through September 2018 by the American Red Cross. However, the ID marker rates for reinstated (1.44%) and newly eligible (2.0%) MSM donors were similar to those of first-time male donors (1.52%). The findings were presented at the 2018 AABB Annual Meeting,...

Dr. Charles Hoffe discusses the D Dimer test and Vaccine patients But here’s where the problem comes. In
a virus, in a Coronavirus, that spike protein becomes part of the viral capsule. In other words, the cell wall around the virus, called the viral capsule. But it’s not in the virus. It’s in your cells. So it therefore becomes part of the cell wall of your vascular endothelium. Which means that these cells that line your blood vessels, which are supposed to be smooth so that blood flows smoothly, now have these little spikey bits sticking out. So it is...

FDA Plans to Allow More Gay, Bisexual Men to Donate Blood. Current rules bar blood donations from men who recently had sex with men due to HIV transmission risk

Wall Street Urinal ^
| Updated Nov. 30, 2022 1:52 pm ET | By Liz Essley Whyte and Amy Dockser Marcus
Gay and bisexual men in monogamous relationships would be allowed to donate blood without abstaining from sex under guidelines being drafted by the Food and Drug Administration, people familiar with the plans said. The
change would be a departure from U.S. policy that for many years barred men who have sex with men from donating blood. The FDA policy originated in the 1980s during the AIDS epidemic, when tests for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, weren’t considered sensitive enough to protect the blood supply. The FDA lifted the ban in 2015 but said gay and bisexual men had to...

Adults with hypertension, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes, and who are overweight or obese, are at an increased risk of serious health complications. However,
experts disagree about which dietary patterns should be recommended. Researchers randomized 94 adults with the aforementioned conditions, using a 2 x 2 diet-by-support factorial design, comparing a very low-carbohydrate (VLC) or ketogenic diet versus a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet. Additionally, they compared results with and without extra support activities, such as mindful eating, positive emotion regulation, and cooking education. Using intent-to-treat analyses, the VLC diet led to greater improvement in estimated mean systolic...

Gay Blood Donation Ban Could Be Lifted: Gay men may donate blood if abstinent for a year.

Gay men just got a step closer to being able to donate blood. Since
1983, men who have had sex with men anytime since 1977 were barred from donating blood, a policy put in place because of the HIV/AIDs epidemic, which especially ravaged the gay community in its early years. But on Thursday, the Department of Health and Human Services’ Advisory Committee on Blood and Tissue Safety voted 16-2 to tweak the ban, according to Bloomberg BusinessWeek, suggesting instead that men who have had sex with men could give blood, but with a caveat. They’d have to be abstinent for...

Popular blood thinners may lead to brain bleeding after head injury (Use newer blood thinning drugs and no aspirin)
|
| |
Medical XPress / Radiological Society of North America ^
| Nov. 30, 2021 | Warren Chang, M.D., et al
A three-year study found that the risk of delayed intracranial hemorrhage and death following head trauma was significantly higher for adults taking older blood thinning medications including clopidogrel (Plavix) and warfarin (Coumadin), according to research. Taking
aspirin concurrently with any blood thinner may increase the risk of delayed hemorrhage. Intracranial hemorrhage occurs when blood vessels within the brain rupture, releasing blood into the brain tissue. In a delayed traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, bleeding in the brain occurs after the initial trauma, usually within 48 hours, after an initial negative head CT. High blood pressure, head injury and the use of blood...

Patients who have surgery to repair bone fractures typically receive a type of injectable blood thinner, low-molecular-weight heparin, to prevent life-threatening blood clots, but a new clinical trial found that over-the-counter aspirin is just as effective. The
multi-center randomized clinical trial of more than 12,000 patients at 21 trauma centers is the largest-ever trial in orthopedic trauma patients. Said Robert V. O'Toole, MD: "Orthopedic trauma patients are commonly prescribed the blood thinner low-molecular-weight heparin to prevent blood clots for weeks following surgery. Not only does the medication need to be injected, it can also be quite expensive compared to aspirin."...

You might have heard of PFAS, a synthetic chemical found in legacy firefighting foams, non-stick pans, carpets, clothes and stain- or water-resistant materials and paints. PFAS
stands for "per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances." These molecules, made up of chains of carbon and fluorine atoms, are nicknamed "forever chemicals" because they don't degrade in our bodies. There is global concern about PFAS because they accumulate in our bodies over time. There was no way to reduce the amount of PFAS found in the body—until now. Our new randomized clinical trial, has found regularly donating blood or plasma can reduce blood PFAS...

In January 2020, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-Mi) retweeted an unverified tweet by professional agitator and former Palestinian Authority diplomat Hanan Ashrawi, in which she claimed that Jews had kidnapped and killed a Palestinian boy by throwing him into a pond where he drowned. As
it turns out, the boy’s death was accidental and Israeli rescue teams resorted to superhuman efforts to retrieve the boy from the pond’s cold, murky waters and revive him. Ashrawi deleted her tweet and surprisingly apologized for citing unverified sources. Tlaib on the other hand deleted the tweet but without apology. She was quick to accuse...
