Bitcoin down at $11k, cryptos will still outperform stocks in upcoming recession - Hex Founder Richard Heart

Bitcoin is down 65 percent from its all-time high of $68,990. In June, it briefly dropped below $18,000, implying a 75 percent drop from its all-time high. Last year when he appeared on Kitco News, Hex founder Richard Heart predicted an 85 percent drop in the price of Bitcoin. “At my last appearance here, I said that Bitcoin was down to $10K,” he said. “So far, Bitcoin is actually down 75 percent, 10 percent lower than my 85 percent target.” Heart blamed institutions with large holdings in Bitcoin such as Celsius, MicroStrategy, and Three Arrows Capital for taking leveraged positions in the cryptocurrency, leading to the bubble. “Michael Saylor took leverage and he dropped, I believe, 30 percent on his Bitcoin stack,” Heart said. “El Salvador’s government is down, ARKK’s investment is down. Everyone was devastated, except for me. I called the top on the deck. ” Heart spoke with David Lin, Anchor and Producer at Kitco News. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=/vfE7UFDceqI Bitc

Three Sea Eagles players 'changed heart' as big club left to crumble over boycott

Three Manly players are said to have “changed their hearts” and are considering wearing the club’s pride jersey. Initially, seven players withdrew from selection for Thursday’s game against the Roosters over the club’s decision to wear the LGBTQIA kit. Speaking on Sunrise Channel 7, Michelle Bishop explained that “at least” the three are now reconsidering their actions.

Josh Aloiai, Jason Saab, Christian Tuipulotu, Josh Schuster, Haumole Olakau’atu, Tolutau Koula and Toafofoa Sipley all initially withdrew according to the Sydney Morning Herald. The Sea Eagles are set to become the first club in NRL history to wear an LGBTQIA kit, but

Johns Hopkins Medical Study: Abnormal Heart Metabolism Could Predict Future Sudden Heart Death

The findings were published June 22 in JCI Insight. “We believe this is the first time that impaired cardiac metabolism in people has been associated with an increased risk of life-threatening arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death,” said study senior author Robert Weiss, MD, professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University School. Medical. “This could open a window for an entirely new approach, a metabolic approach to treat or prevent severe arrhythmias, which are not currently available in cardiology.” Sudden cardiac death accounts for 50% of all cardiovascular deaths in the United States, claiming more than 300,000 American lives each year, according to the American Heart Association. Currently, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) – a small, battery-powered device that is placed in the chest to detect and stop irregular heart rhythms – is the main way to prevent SCD in high-risk patients. The device continuously monitors the heart rhythm and delivers electric shocks, w

Challenging 50 years of pain relief for heart attack management

You’re here: 11 July 2022 Researchers from the School’s Center for Cardiac Research and Education in Therapeutics (CCRET) have built a challenging work of more than 50 years of medical practice on the use of opioids to treat people with myocardial ischemic pain – pain caused by blood clots. supply to the heart. Severe blockage can lead to a heart attack, heart failure, and abnormal heart rhythms. Opioids are often used by doctors and paramedics to relieve pain pressure with the longstanding belief that it leads to better outcomes. However, recent studies have raised concerns regarding the potential interaction between opioids and an anti-platelet drug called P2Y. oral 12 inhibitors, the cornerstone of therapy in managing heart attacks thanks to its anti-clotting action which reduces the risk of death. It is thought that opioids can act in two ways: first by slowing the n

News DISPONSORS: New drugs and emerging strategies for risk profiling offer more options than ever before for managing CVD risk in people with diabetes. The new Heart Foundation webinar will discuss the latest clinical developments on CVD among people with diabetes. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among people with diabetes, and about two thirds of cardiovascular deaths occur in people with diabetes or prediabetes in Australia. People living with diabetes are up to four times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke, often considered to be at the same risk as someone who has previously had a heart attack or stroke. The risk of CVD is higher in people with a longer history of diabetes, microvascular complications and poor glycemic control. The overall risk of death among people with type 2 diabetes was substantially higher in those younger than 55 years, even when glycemic targets were met. Contemporary diabetes

The clinic keeps the heart beating - Golden Plains Times

HEART FAILURE is one of the top conditions that result in the most visits to the emergency department, including at Ballarat Health Services. BHS cardiac nurse practitioner Linda Macaulay said it was a “huge burden” in more ways than one. “Besides the burden of disease and people’s lack of quality of life, heart failure is also a huge burden on our health system,” he said. Aiming to reduce the readmission rate of heart failure patients in hospital, with evidence-based care, personalized care, and targeted treatment, BHS has its own heart failure clinic. “Re-admission rates are enormous, and not only for patients who are re-admitted with heart failure, but with various co-morbidities that impair the heart, such as diabetes, cognitive impairment, or respiratory disease,” Macaulay said. “Our clinic is running to provide consistent care for every patient at all times, because our patients we see are our friends, family members, relatives, work and schoolmates. “We care for people in our co

Big step forward for organ biofabrication: By recreating the helical structure of heart muscle, researchers increase understanding of how the heart beats - Azi News

Heart disease – the leading cause of death in the US – is so deadly in part because the heart, unlike other organs, cannot repair itself after injury. That is why tissue engineering, which ultimately includes the wholesale manufacture of whole human hearts for transplantation, is so important to the future of cardiac medicine. To build the human heart from the ground up, researchers needed to replicate the unique structures that make up the heart. This includes recreating the helical geometry, which creates a circular motion when the heart beats. It has long been theorized that this circular motion is essential for pumping blood at high volumes, but proving it is difficult, in part because creating hearts with different geometries and alignments is a challenge. Now, bioengineers from Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed the first biohybrid model of the human ventricle with helically aligned beating heart cells, and have shown that
