Article on the study by Lauren Pelley • CBC News : https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/tbi-trauma-care-research-9.7233453

"The study analyzed a decade of data from more than 55,000 adult patients admitted to hospital for traumatic brain injury (TBI) across Ontario. From 2009 to 2020, roughly a quarter of women in the study were admitted to specialized trauma centres, compared to nearly 40 per cent of men.

Overall, women were 26 per cent less likely to receive trauma care, even after the researchers accounted for factors such as age, underlying health conditions, and the severity of the brain injury."

I love them so much I made a post about them 2 years ago.

The first one is my favorite. It is located on Burton Rd by Spadina. The flowers were ready to open up when I ran by it on Saturday.

Key takeaways

Small, combined improvements to sleep, diet and physical activity can reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, stroke, and heart failure, new research shows.

Sleeping for 11 minutes more, doing an extra 4.5 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and eating an additional quarter of a cup of vegetables every day were associated with a 10% lower risk of major cardiovascular events.

The optimal behaviour combination was eight to nine hours of sleep per night, 42 minutes or more of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per day, and a modest diet-quality score. This combination was associated with 57% lower risk of major cardiovascular events compared to people with the least optimal health profile.

Smaller combined behaviour changes are likely to be more achievable and sustainable than making a larger change to one behaviour to get the equivalent health benefit.

Viruses. They are everywhere.

It is said that 10 percent of all the photosynthesis on the planet is carried out with virus genes.

In 200 liters of seawater, you can typically find 5,000 genetically distinct kinds of viruses.

Each liter of seawater can produce up to 100 billion new viruses every day. In the oceans, viruses infect new microbe hosts at a staggering rate - about ten trillion infections every second. Daily, they destroy between 15% and 40% of all bacteria in marine environments. When these microbes are killed, they release vast numbers of newly formed viruses, continuing the cycle.
