I think it is more effective to watch for good advice instead of asking for it. An Inc. article titled “25 Excellent Pieces of Advice That Most People Ignore” covers words of wisdom that often go in one ear and out the other. “It’s easy to find someone to tell you what you want to hear, but your true ally is one who tells you what you need to learn,” the author writes.

Activation of an immune signaling molecule called STAT6 may lead to pulmonary hypertension (PH) in people with oxygen deprivation due to obstructive sleep apnea, according to a recent study in mice. Obstructive sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by chronic intermittent hypoxia, or repeated episodes of stopping and starting to breathe while asleep. In the study, STAT6 levels were elevated in the lungs of a mouse model of intermittent hypoxia-induced PH.

It’s a beautiful day in the country for what appears to be the beginning of autumn. There are acres of trees, mostly green except for a few that have changed to gold. They’re casting a shadow over a lake, but on the other side sun is glistening on the water and the land is covered in lush, green grass. It appears to be a wide-open field except for the ruins of an old fence. All that remains is a small gate held up by two standing pillars.

When I was in college and my health was in decline with pulmonary hypertension, I had a month when my symptoms became exacerbated. That led to a week of things becoming noticeably worse, which led to a day of increasing worry. By 9 at night, I felt I had to tell my mom, mainly because I was afraid of what might happen if I went to sleep. My symptoms had been building for a while, and they’d hit the point where I genuinely felt scared for my well-being.

Anumana‘s artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm shows promise for the early detection of pulmonary hypertension (PH), a study suggested. The PH Early Detection Algorithm, which analyzes data collected from a routine electrocardiogram (ECG) heart test, was developed by scientists at Anumana, Janssen Research and Development, the Mayo Clinic, and the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Battling pulmonary hypertension (PH) is like navigating a storm that never seems to end, casting unparalleled ripples through our family life. Throw a hospitalization into the mix, and stress and worry suddenly spike to the stratosphere. As the one in the eye of this PH storm, I often feel a profound loss of control. I’m anxious about what lies ahead in these all-too-familiar, sterile rooms.

Do you know about pulmonary rehabilitation? Maybe you’ve participated in a few sessions or you have a loved one who did. I didn’t know about these programs until after I was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension (PH). I also didn’t fully appreciate the hurdles that prevent some people from accessing this valuable care.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) has its challenges, but they’re not always visible to others. Some days, for example, it feels like a plastic bag is suffocating me. That’s how I described my breathing difficulties when my durable medical equipment company denied me oxygen because it was a “luxury.” Many people struggle to understand my reality because I don’t appear sick. With PH, even simple tasks like showering, doing laundry, and running errands can be daunting.

Babies with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) started quickly on treatment with prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) — which lowers blood pressure by allowing blood vessels to relax and open up — show a better working heart and a lesser need of extra oxygen, a study reports. “Importantly, the use of PGE in these severely ill infants was beneficial without clinically significant side effects or impaired oxygenation,” the researchers wrote, urging further investigations into its use.
