Quite an important study finding with profound implications for women's health. I think the likely contributing factors to this need to be engaged transparently if a change is to be expected. Women's lives do matter. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/women-are-less-likely-to-receive-cpr-in-public-than-men-study-135402883.html?utm_campaign=later-linkinbio-yahoonews&utm_content=later-38031263&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkin.bio

In 1995, William Utermohlen, a UK artist, received a devastating diagnosis of dementia. Despite facing such difficult circumstances, Utermohlen decided to channel his condition into his artwork and began creating a series of self-portraits between 1995 and 2000. The comparison above shows an original self-portrait from 1967. Tragically, Utermohlen passed away in 2007. These paintings serve as poignant and accurate representations of the cognitive decline commonly associated with dementia. They have been utilized as educational material for medical students, providing a detailed insight into the changes in cognitive abilities that individuals with dementia may experience. ©HistoryVids

  Neuronal suicide is found to be implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, a common chronic degenerative brain disease. A lot of research is ongoing around this condition with potentials for new treatment options. It's notable that work on Alzheimer's disease in Nigeria and Africa lags behind global trends. We need to do more locally.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-66816268

 If you want to know more about epilepsy, seizures and convulsions, read my interview in Punch Newspaper. They don't mean the same thing. Click this link to the article. If you want to know what to do when someone around you has a seizure, read it. If you want to know if you should still go and ahead and marry that man or woman with epilepsy, read this. If you want to know if you will get from your child, friend or love of your life, read for goodness sake. If you are one of those employers who deny people with epilepsy jobs they are well trained and equipped for, read please. If you are one of those ignorant ones who keep shouting about spiritual husbands, marine spirit wives, epilepsy as spiritual in nature and such bumkum, biko read. I'm open to questions if you have any, after you must have done reading. Cheers! https://punchng.com/epilepsy-not-transmissible-by-physical-contact-body-fluids-neurologist/
