Do you measure your #bloodpressure at home? Help our local researchers understand what you know about blood pressure measurement by completing the survey on the following link: bit.ly/HomeBloodPressure23 - It should take roughly 15 minutes, and you could receive one of 30 gift cards valued at $100! This survey addresses a crucial knowledge gap about home blood pressure measurement and Australians' awareness of it. General Practitioners widely use home blood pressure measurement to manage high blood pressure in patients. When performed accurately, it effectively controls hypertension, the most significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and one of Australia's leading causes of death. Ensuring patients' correct execution of home blood pressure measurement is crucial. With the endorsement of Hypertension Australia and collaboration from esteemed experts, this survey sheds light on these critical aspects. This research is being undertaken by Eleanor Clapham and her local research colleagues at Menzies Institute for Medical Research at the University of Tasmania, and we are proud to be supporting this local research study!

Yes, giving blood saves lives, but check out these other reasons for giving blood: ❤️Ferritin Giving blood slightly decreases your ferritin levels. High ferritin levels are common and cause the blood to be too heavy, sluggish, and increase risk of stroke. ❤️Liver health Giving blood causes the body to make new blood cells, which helps your liver detox from the build up of harmful chemicals. ❤️ Men Men don't menstruate like women and therefore never experience stimulating fresh new healthy blood cells…giving blood does this. Think more energy, less toxins, and fresh blood. ❤️ Postmenopausal Women The same thing happens as with men. Giving blood stimulates new fresh cells and blood.

Are you dealing with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias (#ADRD) along with chronic pain? We're recruiting participants for a research study aiming to understand chronic pain better by investigating brain signals. According to the Alzheimer’s Association and CDC, over 6 million Americans have ADRD, and more than 50% of older adults with ADRD experience daily pain. Chronic pain often goes untreated due to the lack of precise measures—relying only on self-reported assessments. Our study, led by Principal Investigator Dr. Ilknur Telkes, Assistant Professor at Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, and Co-Investigator Dr. Juyoung Park, Professor at Phyllis & Harvey Sandler School of Social Work, aims to accurately measure chronic pain by monitoring brain signals. To participate in the study: ✅ 50+ ✅ Living independently ✅ Diagnosed with ADRD by a healthcare professional ✅ Experiencing mild to moderate chronic pain due to conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or others Get in touch with Dr. Fernanda Souza Andrade at [email protected] or 561-419-5389. Both you and your caregiver will receive a $50 gift card for participating. Let's make a difference together! 🧠💡 #ResearchStudy #ChronicPainAwareness

Because of COVID-19, visiting your loved ones at the hospital is no longer convenient, and nobody wants to take the risk of going to the hospital.
