Study decodes who actually needs statin medication to lower cholesterol

A new study in the US aims to determine the best method to screen and evaluate patients who are at risk of developing coronary heart disease and which patients would benefit from taking a statin medication to lower cholesterol. A new approach by researchers at Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City to determining risk and selecting a statin is the use of the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score which is determined by taking a low-radiation dose image of the heart using computed tomography (CT) to look for calcium deposits in plaques in the heart’s coronary arteries. “Our study is now fully enrolled with over 5,600 patients, and in this abstract for the American College of Cardiology, we wanted to look at baseline characteristics and differences in statin prescribing recommendations,” sai...

Vikramaditya Motwane: ‘You don’t have as much autonomy when dealing with OTTs’

For Vikramaditya Motwane, 2025 began with his show, Black Warrant, winning praise. What added to his joy is that the prison drama gave its leading man Zahan Kapoor his big break. The creator-director is impressed that the actor is keeping a low profile despite the series’ success. “I love that. Everybody presumes things about him, and wonders where this guy had been. They forget that he has been working in theatre for the last 10 years. I feel he’ll be judicious about the [projects] he’ll pick because he has a firm head on his shoulders,” says Motwane. The Netflix prison drama was praised for its storytelling as well as performances. But Motwane believes there is more to learn from Black Warrant. The creator hopes that it can serve as a model for the making of web series in India. He brea...

Caroline Hirons’ guide to retinols and skincare: everything you need to know

Ask any skincare expert about the ingredients they rate, and retinol will invariably come up. Yes, it’s sometimes a bit irritating while skin is acclimatising, and yes, there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to skin health – but few ingredients are as thoroughly tested or as heavily endorsed as retinol, for good reason; it gets results, often in the form of plumper, smoother skin.As one of its most vocal champions, Caroline Hirons’ approach to retinol in her own range has been a godsend for those who find choosing one baffling. Here, she explains everything you need to know about using a retinol to demystify skincare’s most talked about ingredient.How does retinol impact the skin?“The retinoid family, also known as vitamin A, is the gold standard ingredient for improving the appearanc...

Liberals continue lead over Tories after 1st week of Canada election: poll – National

The Liberals continue to lead the Conservatives among voters after the first week of the federal election campaign, a new poll suggests, but the two parties are tied on who will best handle what’s seen as the top issue: affordability and the cost of living. The latest Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News shows both the Liberals and new party leader Mark Carney are continuing to pick up momentum since the election began last Sunday. The Conservatives have also gained ground, to the detriment of the New Democrats and Bloc Quebecois.The poll found 44 per cent of decided voters would vote for the Liberals, up two points from polling conducted a week before the election. The Conservatives earned 38 per cent support, also up two points, while the NDP has dropped one point to nine per...

AI can identify patients at risk of serious arrhythmia, prevent sudden death

Artificial intelligence (AI) can help scientists identify patients at risk of a serious arrhythmia that is capable of triggering cardiac arrest and sudden death. As part of a new study to be published in European Heart Journal, a network of artificial neurons imitating the human brain was developed by researchers from Inserm, Paris Cite University and the Paris public hospitals group (AP-HP), in collaboration with their colleagues in the US. During the analysis of data from over 240 000 ambulatory electrocardiograms, this algorithm identified patients at risk of a serious arrhythmia that was capable of triggering cardiac arrest within the following 2 weeks in over 70 per cent of cases. Each year, sudden cardiac death is responsible for over 5 million deaths worldwide. AI could help to...

Rangan Chatterjee’s secret habits that will give you a longer life

After 23 years as a GP, Chatterjee stopped practising last year to focus on teaching and advocacy. He’s written several bestsellers, including Happy Mind, Happy Life, and taken up a role as visiting professor of health education and communication at Chester Medical School. “So much of modern medicine is about deprivation,” he says. “What should we eat less of, or do less of …” His outlook is more positive: medicine can, and should, be about abundance. Identify the things you do that help you thrive, he suggests (exercise, say, or spending time with friends) and do them more often. There is a direct link, he reminds me, between happiness and longevity: those who thrive for longer live longer, too. Source link
