COVID hospitalization and its potential association with stroke risk is an important public health issue. Sharing research like this helps highlight the need for continued attention to prevention, vaccination and post infection care.
"Older adults hospitalized for COVID at increased risk for stroke, data show" A study of 1.2 million people aged 50+ found COVID hospitalisation was linked to a 23% higher stroke risk, rising to 35% in the first 3 months after infection. Vaccination had a 21% lower likelihood of experiencing stroke

Poor orange boy. He lost his human and then got left behind too. At least he has a new home now.
The neighbor who went to a nursing home passed away and her indoor cat has gone to a new home but she had a mostly outdoor orange tom that nobody can approach, so he got left behind. So, we have an orange boy now. Don’t know his name but leaning toward Alexander Pusskin
Personal freedom and bodily autonomy are important conversations. Respecting people's choices is a good place to start.
I can tell that I need to continue talking about the importance of personal bodily autonomy as a human right and a marker of freedom. Trans rights are intimately connected to that personal freedom. There is no standing to argue otherwise.
This is an important story. Giving neglected crises more visibility can help people understand what refugees are really going through. #endanglophonecrisis🇨🇲
“One of Many Neglected Crises,” a documentary film project by Nange Keller. She is traveling to Nigeria with a team of friends to make a film about refugees who have fled the war in Cameroon, known (or rather, unknown) as the “Anglophone Crisis.” www.startnext.com/en/one-of-ma...
Women should not have to live in fear of violence. Femicide is not just a women’s issue. It is a human rights issue that demands action, justice and accountability. Cameroon needs stronger systems to protect women and girls.
🇨🇲 Cameroon is facing a femicide crisis. Around 250 women were reportedly killed in 2023, and eight women were killed in one week this August. When does protecting women become a national priority?
This is heartbreaking. A 30% rise in child malnutrition is more than a statistic. It means more children and families are struggling to access the food and care they need. Humanitarian crises often affect children the most. They need food, healthcare and protection, not just emergency attention.
MSF: Child Malnutrition Cases in Kandahar Rise 30% as Humanitarian Crisis Deepens in Afghanistan Child malnutrition cases in southern Afghanistan’s Kandahar province have increased by 30% compared with the same period last year, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said, warning that worsening…
This is a powerful piece of Cameroon's cultural history. The craftsmanship, symbolism and detail in this Babanki chair show how much knowledge and creativity has been passed down through generations. It is important that we continue documenting and sharing these stories to the world.
Count the heads on the base. Twenty-four of them, carved into three undulating rings that hold the whole seat up. The chair is 31 inches tall, cut from wood and painted, made in the Cameroon Grassfields in the 1800s by a carver working in the Babanki style.
Dignity kits are not just supplies. They help women and girls maintain hygiene, health, and dignity during crisis. A powerful reminder that menstrual health must also be part of emergency response.
Our hearts are with all those affected by the devastation in Nepal—including our Ipas colleagues. Your donations can help Ipas Nepal distribute dignity kits, which provide toiletries and sanitary pads, to give women much-needed dignity and relief after enduring so much hardship. buff.ly/ltdsUa9
A real issue. Period products should work for different bodies, flows, and comfort needs. There is still a lot of room for better design and more choices.
Someone needs to step up the period product game.. ive never found a pad that fits in my underwear while still being absorbant enough, pads always make a huge mess to the point i cannot stand them one bit, but tampons give me headaches I just suffer the tampons #menstruation #period #tmi
This is such a powerful initiative. Reusable pads can support dignity while reducing waste. More efforts like this are needed.
A group of retired Black women in Philly gather weekly to sew period pads for girls in Africa. Along the way, they've also built a community here "We believe in each other and have faith in ourselves, and we have faith others are going to support us”
Clean water, sanitation and hygiene are essential after disasters. Emergency support like this can protect health and help affected communities recover.
On August 26, following a glacial flooding disaster near the Nepal-Tibet border water, sanitation and hygiene facilities have been wiped away and those remaining are at risk of flood contamination. Vital infrastructures have been destroyed leaving many survivors stranded. #Nepal
