@horus-urbanhealth.bsky.social❤️ Today is #WorldHeartDay, so what better time to share what’s in the heart of HORUS?
🧠 In our brain: understanding #NCDs, including #cardiovascular diseases, and their relationship with #urbanenvironments.
💚 In our heart: people.
Because behind our research are real people and communities.

Spinach is one of the foods
that can accumulate
toxic metals/metalloids,
such as cadmium (Cd), and antimony (Sb).
Healthy ageing
requires monitoring
metalloestrogen levels
and identifying sources of exposure.

Melbourne research
concludes that
measuring oxidative potential
is a better indicator of
the toxicity of air pollution
than PM2.5

Airborne toxic metals, diesel particles, and black carbon
tend to be higher in winter
when weather patterns
trap pollution close to the ground,
damaging the lungs, heart, skin, and brain,
while inflammatory O3 is higher in summer.

- and PFOA
are shared risk factors for

in women.

In health promotion fairyland
it is never quite clear
- who will buy, chop, cook, serve/deliver the vegetables and clean up afterwards,
- and who will pay for the produce and decent hourly remuneration for the people working in the kitchen.

@globalissues.orgNoncommunicable diseases remain underfunded despite dominating global health burden
Panelists at UNGA sidelines event stressed patients with lived experience are too often consulted for stories, not for decisions shaping the policies that affect them

Different toxic metals/metalloids

(and inflammatory NO2, O3)
interact to cause
cardiac arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation).

@theisn.org🌍 ISN at #UNGA81
The ISN delegation, led by President Marcello Tonelli, met with Youssouf Aden Moussa, Counsellor at the Permanent Mission of Djibouti to the UN, to discuss advancing kidney health within the NCD and UHC agenda.
@glistennetwork.bsky.socialClinical research is the key to healthcare breakthroughs in Africa. It’s super-power that turns “What-if’s” into realised possibilities.
GLISTEN is charging ahead, full-steam, and inviting you to play your role in finding answers to the continent’s healthcare challenges.
@gho-media.bsky.socialA WHO regional survey of 44 African countries finds uneven progress on patient safety.
Clinical processes are strongest. Learning and reporting systems have the biggest gap. NCDs now cause 37% of deaths in the Region, up from 24% in 2000.
@theisn.org🌍 ISN at #UNGA81
Today, ISN joined the NCD Alliance’s 5th Multistakeholder Gathering to discuss how stronger collaboration can drive more sustainable action on NCDs.
Tomorrow, join us at the ISN–Devex event as we continue the conversation on integrated NCD care and UHC. 🌎
