New Study Reveals How Anger Impairs Heart Health – A Potential Link to Heart Attacks
Can Anger Damage Your Heart? Exploring the Hidden Impact
It’s no secret that anger can have detrimental effects on our overall well-being, but could a burst of anger also take a toll on the heart? Previous research has pointed towards a connection between acute episodes of anger and an increased risk of heart attack. To delve deeper into this phenomenon, researchers from prestigious institutions such as Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Yale School of Medicine embarked on a quest to uncover the underlying reasons.
Anger: Putting It to the Test
The study involved recruiting 280 healthy young adults who were then randomly assigned to four different groups. The first group served as the control group, engaging in a neutral emotional state while counting out loud for eight minutes. The other three groups were instructed to recall events that made them feel angry, sad, or anxious. Blood samples along with measurements of blood flow and pressure were gathered before and at intervals up to 100 minutes after these exercises.
Published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, their findings unveiled an intriguing connection between anger and impaired blood vessel function.

The Athens club in Belgrade beat the Israeli team 95:88 (26:29, 23:21, 25:19, 21:19) and snatched the fifth match of the series, which will be played in Greece (2:2).
Marius Grigonis in 14.5 minutes on the court scored 8 points (1/1 doubles, 2/5 triples), rebounded the ball, made one mistake and collected 5 utility points.
The fourth quarter started more successfully for Maccabi, who won the 3.5-minute section with the result 1:13 and accumulated a 7-point advantage (75:82).
After that, both teams exchanged successful attacks, more of which were organized by the Athens team. After Mathiass Lessort’s layup, only one point separated the teams (86:85). Later, Lorenzo Brown broke through to the left side and restored the three-point lead to the Israeli team (85:88). On the other side of the court, Kendrick Nunn answered with a shot from the middle distance (87:88).
After that, Jasiel Rivero recovered the ball in the attack, the center deceived the opponents, but missed the shot from under the basket and then fouled Kostas Sloukas himself, who stood up to throw free throws and hit both

The evolutionarily newest part of the human brain is more peculiar than believed
The neocortex, a structure essential for human intelligence, is less than five millimeters thick. There, in the outermost layer of the brain, 20 billion neurons process countless sensory perceptions, plan actions, and form the basis of our consciousness. How do these neurons process all this complex information? That largely depends on how they are connected to each other.
What was known until now about the neuronal architecture of the human neocortex was based mainly on findings made from studying animal models such as mice.
The human neocortex is much thicker and more complex than that of the mouse. However, the scientific community had until now assumed (partly due to lack of data) that it followed the same basic principles of connectivity.
Now, in a new study, for which cutting-edge technology and exceptionally difficult to obtain tissue sa

Health Decoding｜The red rash and scales of psoriasis are harmful to physical and mental health. Biological agents have a rapid effect and quickly reverse the symptoms.
The main symptoms of psoriasis are red rashes and dandruff on the body. For patients, first is, of course, to avoid causing great physical and mental distress. For patients with moderate to severe disease, there are now biologic agents that can focus on inhibiting inflammatory factors. Among them, “interleukin 17 inhibitor” has a faster onset of action, helping to control the disease as early as possible. Some doctors remind patients that in addition to the use of effective medications, adherence to treatment and weight control are also very important to stabilize the condition.
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammation of the skin. The patient’s skin metabolism is accelerated, and red rashes and scales appear on the skin. This not only affects the appearance, but also damages the physical and mental condition. Dermatologist Chen Yong points out that psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that affects not only the skin, but also other organs, including the joints and eyes. In the long term, it will increase the risk of diabetes and hypertension, posing serious health risks.
Biological agents inhibit inflammatory factors
This is why it is so important that people with psoriasis receive treatment as soon as possible. However, previous treatments for this condition have had limited effectiveness. For example, patients with mild disease can use topical medications such as steroids, but cannot continue to use high-strength ointments. Patients with relatively severe disease may use drugs that suppress the immune system, Dr. Chen said by suppressing the immune system indiscriminately, it can affect the function and resistance of the liver and kidneys and may not be the most ideal treatment option.
With the advent of biological agents, this therapeutic limitation is gradually overcome. Dr Chen said biologic drugs can specifically inhibit inflammatory factors, have better efficacy and have lower risks of affecting other organs in the body. Therefore, they are safer. About 80% of patients improved their symptoms

How quickly the effect appears is a consideration for patients
Biologic agents for the treatment of psoriasis include tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, interleukin 17 (IL-17) and 23 (IL-23). Dr. Chen pointed out that anti-tumor necrosis factor biologics may not be suitable for patients with heart failure and neurological diseases. On the other hand, interleukin inhibitors are suitable for patients suffering from different pathologies. Doctors will take into account the patient’s condition, comorbid factors and financial capacity while formulating treatment plans to select the most appropriate medication.
Dr. Chen pointed out that after a man was infected with COVID-19, his psoriasis relapsed and his skin became covered with red rashes and felt itchy in a short time. The man hoped to use fast-acting medication to control his condition. symptoms. The attending physician assessed his condition and prescribed a fast-acting interleukin-17 inhibitor biological agent to suppress the inflammation as quickly as possible. The condition was finally brought under control within a few weeks.
