New data on payments from pharmaceutical companies to doctors
2024-04-24 08:21:07
The doctor Federico Relimpiowhom I met more than a decade ago, writes in his blog about pharmaceutical industry payments to doctors. And despite the fact that it is a topic that seemed to have improved, it turns out that there is new data coming from one of the leading medical journals, JAMA.
A lot has rained since I wrote my book in 2011. doctors laboratory. Journey inside medicine and the pharmaceutical industry (Peninsula).
Shortly after, Federico wrote a novel titled KOL Opinion Leader. In it he narrates Dr. Sepúlveda’s fight to rescue his integrity from the pharmaceutical industry and the health administration.
Well, as the article published in JAMA begins “despite the evidence that conflicts of interest can influence doctors’ prescribing and damage patients’ trust in medical professionals, such relationships remain widespread«.
Wow, despite the existence of brave doctors Sepúlveda the healthcare corruptiondriven by industries and with the complicity of the administration that looks the other way, continues in force and is general.
The article is based on data from the United States, but it is not difficult to verify that in Spain (and in almost the entire world) the same thing happens.

**Loneliness Reaches its Highest Levels in Both Youth and Old Age, According to Neuroscience News**
Loneliness is a universal experience that affects individuals across the lifespan, with higher levels reported among younger and older adults, according to a recent study published by Northwestern University. The study, which examined nine longitudinal studies from around the world, revealed a U-shaped pattern of loneliness, with the lowest levels reported during middle adulthood.
The study also identified several risk factors for loneliness, including social isolation, lower education levels, and physical impairments. Individuals who experienced persistent loneliness were found to be disproportionately women, more isolated, less educated, had lower income, had more functional limitations, were divorced or widowed, were smokers, or had poorer cognitive, physical, or mental health.
Lead author Eileen Graham, associate professor of medical social sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, emphasized the need for interventions to address loneliness, particularly as it relates to health risks comparable to those associated with smoking. The findings highlight the global nature of the loneliness epidemic and underscore the importance of social interactions in mitigating its effects.
The study’s findings support the notion that loneliness follows a U-shaped curve across the lifespan,

Title: Enhancing Women’s Health: Addressing Vitamin D Deficiency and Postpartum Challenges
Introduction:
In recent findings, it has been revealed that nearly half of women of childbearing age are lacking in vitamin D, which is essential for overall health. Additionally, postpartum mothers are facing challenges such as “brain shrinkage,” highlighting the importance of addressing women’s health issues holistically. In this article, we will explore the significance of vitamin D and postpartum care, and provide innovative solutions to promote women’s well-being.
The Importance of Vitamin D:
Vitamin D plays a crucial role in maintaining strong bones, supporting the immune system, and regulating mood. However, many women are deficient in this essential nutrient, which can lead to various health issues. To address this deficiency, it is important for women to incorporate vitamin D-rich foods into their diet, such as fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and eggs. Additionally, spending time outdoors and getting adequate sunlight exposure can help boost vitamin D levels naturally.
Postpartum Challenges and Solutions:
Postpartum mothers often face challenges such as “brain shrinkage,” which can impact cognitive function and overall well-being. It is crucial for new mothers to prioritize self-care and seek support from healthcare professionals.

Consuming almonds after exercise helps muscle recovery. [사진=게티이미지뱅크]What do you need to do to stay healthy, lose weight and improve your fitness? It’s about practicing consistently. However, when you exercise, you should also pay attention to what you eat.
Food is fuel for the body. For this reason, it is important what type of food you eat to increase strength, speed and exercise endurance. Experts say: “Athletes need to focus on optimizing carbohydrates and proteins before, during and after exercise.”
Nutrients in natural foods can add strength to exercise and aid recovery. Good foods to eat during exercise include bananas, which are rich in potassium, which helps nerve and muscle function, and eggs, which are rich in protein.
In this regard, research has shown that eating almonds after physical activity significantly aids muscle recovery. According to a research team at Appalachian State University, people who ate about 57 g (about 40 almonds) every day for a month had more fats in their blood that aid recovery.
It was also found that people who consumed almonds experienced less fatigue and muscle damage after exercise compared to those who ate granola bars as a control group.
