Let's enhance support for those with high blood pressure to boost treatment compliance and improve outcomes! #Hypertension #MedicationAdherence #ChronicConditions

Our new study from Peru reveals an intriguing finding: patients with comorbid conditions showed better medication adherence than those with hypertension alone. This highlights the importance of tailored follow-up care for hypertension patients. doi.org/10.1177/263355…

Our research team conducted a systematic review of brick kiln pollution (emissions, source contributions and personal exposures) to investigate its effects on brick kiln worker health outcomes. Click the link below to access our publication doi.org/10.1016/j.envr…

Our findings do not support the use of unventilated liquefied petroleum gas stove and fuel delivery intervention as a strategy to reduce poor fetal growth in resource-limited settings. thelancet.com/journals/langl…

While our study underscores the importance of reducing household air, our findings challenge the belief that such pollution significantly impacts fetal growth. Our findings suggest the link between household air pollution and poor fetal growth may be less pronounced than assumed.

We did it! 👏👏⭐️ It's a wrap for #GACDASM2023! 3 days filled with insightful discussions on NCDs, innovative research, and valuable connections. A big thank you to all delegates, speakers, and our team for making it a huge success.🤝 Stay tuned for updates on #GACDASM2024

Lung ultrasound (LUS) was used as an alternative to chest radiography to diagnose Pneumonia in Guatemala, Peru, and Rwanda. Click the link below to read more about how Dr. S. M. Simkovich. and her team developed a standardized.

One of our doctoral students, Carla T-M, with the support of the team spearheaded a randomized control trial to determine the effects of household air pollution interventions on dietary and sodium intake. Visit the link below to review the results! bit.ly/3Ixfzvu
