New research suggests that women who were overweight or obese as teenagers or young adults have more than double the risk of experiencing a stroke before the age of 55. The study analyzed health data from over 10,000 adults and found that close to 5% of participants experienced a stroke during the follow-up period. The risk of ischemic stroke was more than twice as high in women who had obesity in their youth, and the risk of hemorrhagic stroke was higher in both men and women with a history of obesity. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing overweight and obesity in young people in a nonjudgmental and nonstigmatizing manner. However, it is important to note that the study only found an association and not causality between overweight/obesity and stroke. [Extracted from the article]

A database analysis found that rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) do not significantly differ among individual biologics used for psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The study included 32,758 patients treated with different biologics, and there was no difference in the incidence of MACE events in the different biologic groups. The study suggests that prescribers should not favor any one biologic class over another in terms of MACE risk. However, the study's retrospective nature and the limited generalizability of the patient population from Wisconsin are limitations. [Extracted from the article]

The article focuses on stroke, the third leading cause of death in the U.S. It is also a disease consistently misdiagnosed by both victims and doctors. This leads to relatively little use of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), the only drug proven effective in mitigating the effects of a stroke. From the unwillingness of patients to treat their high blood pressure through rehabilitation, stroke's worst effects stem from failures in the U.S. health care system.
