    "The common heart attack symptom many women ignore

    Experts explain a typical red flag — which can fly under the radar for weeks.

    The feeling of a heart attack — which occurs when blood flow to the heart is limited or cut off — is often compared to an elephant stomping on your chest. But the signs can sometimes be far subtler, particularly in women. In fact, one of the most common symptoms in this group is something you might be tempted to push through or ignore: fatigue.

    (. . .)

    But feeling exhausted, even to an extreme, doesn’t always set off alarm bells — for women or doctors. After all, 'so many women are multitaskers and are time-starved and are caregivers and are working and have so many things on their plate,' said Amy Ahnert, a cardiologist with Atlantic Medical Group and director of the Women’s Heart Program at Morristown Medical Center.

    In a large study of people under age 55 hospitalized for a heart attack, women were more likely than men to perceive their symptoms as simply stress or anxiety, and also to have seen a provider who did not attribute their symptoms to their heart.
    Below, experts explain why severe fatigue often accompanies a heart attack in women and how to tell if your exhaustion is a red flag."

  6. I was woken up in the middle of the night by a weird noise I'd never heard before. It turns out it was a rat, eating his way into the house through the screen of the sliding door. That sliding door leads into OUR BEDROOM, so that was something.

    I thought I had locked him out, but he's been hiding in there since last night, apparently. He's now been chased out with a broom, like a scene out of an old cartoon.

    But not before he scrambled up the back of a dresser cabinet, ran straight at me, saw the murder in my eyes, and launched himself out into space, through the open door.

    It was surprisingly graceful - a perfect combination of instinct and athleticism. God speed, super-rat. I'll see you in my nightmares for several nights to come, I'm sure.

  8. Tho’ I’d seen the word B4, I just now learned what an #Endocrinologist does; basically your #Diabetes #Doctor

    Was @ #Hospital from Wed mid-day to Mon mid-day due to #STEMI #HeartAttack

    Very emergency shit. Lucky to have guessed correctly fast, 911, rushed to #StJohns #Fairview #CathLab

    “[The authors] Ph.D. dissertation "Using Geospatial Analysis and Explainable Machine Learning to Examine Risk Factors of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Survival Outcome" [1st link above] has received the 2026 biennial William L. Garrison Award for Best Dissertation in Computational Geography from the American Association of Geographers… [2nd link above.]
    In [their] research, [they] develop[ed] Explainable GeoAI and Causal GeoAI methods that combine geographic data and artificial intelligence to expose and ameliorate health disparities by delivering models that not only predict risks but also illuminate how and where to intervene. While [their] dissertation focused on cardiovascular disease, these approaches are broadly applicable to public health, medicine, urban planning, environmental exposure, and resilience research…”
