Tallinna artiklis käsitletakse, kuidas südame-veresoonkonna haiguste ravimid moodustavad Eestis üle kolmandiku kõigist ravimitest, rõhutades tervisliku eluviisi ja regulaarsete tervisekontrollide tähtsust nende haiguste ennetamisel ja ravis. #сердечнососудистаясистема #лекарства #здоровьесердца
Uus uuring näitab, et viis erinevat haigust, sealhulgas pikk koroona ja traumajärgne stressihäire, jagavad ühte bioloogilist mehhanismi, mis võib aidata põhjalikumal uurimisel ja haiguse põhjuse mõistmisel. #KroonilineVäsimus #BioloogilisedSüsteemid #TerviseUuringud
Uus geenikaart paljastab, kuidas aju vananemine ja haiguste riskid on seotud geenide aktiivsuse muutustega elu jooksul, tuues välja olulisi mudeleid nii nooremas kui ka vanemas eas. #geenikaart #ajuvananemine #psühhika
Jämesoolevähk, mida on pikka aega peetud eakate haiguseks, ohustab järjest enam nooremaid inimesi ja kuigi varajases staadiumis on see hästi ravitav, kulgeb haigus sageli algfaasis sümptomiteta, mistõttu on peiteveretest, kui lihtsast ja taskukohasest uuringust, saanud selle varajase avastamise oluline vahend. #jämesoolevähk #tervis #tervisekontroll
Dr Margus Viigimaa hoiatab, et Eestis põeb peaaegu pool 30–79-aastastest inimestest salakavalat haigust, kõrgvererõhktõbe, mis sageli sümptomeid ei anna ja seetõttu ei pruugi patsiendid oma terviseprobleeme isegi märkida. #kõrgvererõhk #tervis #Eesti
Uuringud näitavad, et kuus kuni kaheksa tundi ööund seondub väiksema haigusriskiga, sealhulgas madalama riskiga diabeedi ja depressiooni suhtes, tõstes esile une kvaliteedi ja kestuse tähtsust tervisele. #uneuuring #tervis #REMuni
Eluviis ei päästa: perekondlik hüperkolesteroleemia (FH) on sage pärilik haigus, mis hoiab kolesterooli ohtlikult kõrgel sünnist saadik, mistõttu on varajane avastus ja ravi, sealhulgas laste sõeluuringuprogrammide loomine, äärmiselt vajalik enneaegsete ja traagiliste tagajärgade vältimiseks. #FH #lastetervis #kolesterool
