The Harold and Muriel Block Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center is harnessing the promise of lifespan research to better investigate the causes and possible prevention of disease. By bringing together researchers and clinicians from specialties across the lifespan to collaborate, the ICTR hopes to boost understanding of health and disease and the complex web of experiences, exposures and genetics that affect them. By providing resources and expertise to expand the lifespan research approach throughout the Einstein-Montefiore community, the ICTR aims to contribute to advances across a range of diseases, including children’s health, and to better identify — and prevent — the impacts of health disparities.

These are “Super Foods” that are great for your heart. These healthy foods are known to help prevent & fight cancer, heart disease, and other conditions. It was taken from a presentation by Dr. Dory Jarzabkowski, cardiologist with Advocate Heart Institute, at Eureka Hospital.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the United States is in the midst of a drug overdose epidemic. In their Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), the CDC reports that last year, overdose killed more than 45-thousand people, most of whom had taken opioids – heroin or prescription medications such as oxycodone. They also report that since 2000, the death rate from overdoses involving opioid pain relievers and heroin increased 200 percent. Mayo Clinic addiction specialist Dr. Jon Ebbert says, “We are in the middle of an opioid crisis. As a society we need to invest more in mental health, and we need to invest more in drug treatment.”
Dr. Ebbert supports the use of naloxone, a medication recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration to reverse opioid overdose. Overdose results when an opioid drug slows a person’s breathing to the point of respiratory failure. “To put it simply, naloxone works by removing the opioid molecules that suppress respiration and helps people breathe again. It wakes them up. I like to say that naloxone revives people, but treatment saves them.”
Dr. Ebbert says opioid medications are often necessary for the proper treatment and management of pain. He believes physicians must assess patients carefully and provide adequate monitoring and follow up for patients on opioid medications. He also encourages easier access to naloxone and the support of effective treatment for people addicted to any type of opioid drug.
