Health Insecurity and Social Protection: Pathways, Gaps, and Their Implications on Health Outcomes and Poverty

Health insecurity has emerged as a major concern among health policy-makers particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It includes the inability to secure adequate healthcare today and the risk of being unable to do so in the future as well as impoverishing healthcare expenditure. The increasing health insecurity among 150 million of the world’s poor has moved social protection i...

Social relationships and health.

The author discusses 3 variables that assess different aspects of social relationships—social support, social integration, and negative interaction. The author argues that all 3 are associated with health outcomes, that these variables each influence health through different mechanisms, and that associations between these variables and health are not spurious findings attributable to our person...

review of cellular and molecular pathways linking thrombosis and innate immune system during sepsis

cellular and molecular pathways link thrombosis and innate immune system during sepsis. extrinsic pathway activation of protease thrombin through fviia and tissue factor (tf) in sepsis help activate its endothelial cell (ec) membrane protease activated receptor 1 (par-1). thrombin adjusts the ec cycle through activation of g proteins (g12/13), and later through rho gefs (guanine nucleotide exch...

Immune and inflammatory pathways in NASH

Immune and inflammatory pathways have a central role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Both the innate and adaptive immune systems contribute to the development of NAFLD. Pathogen-associated molecular patterns and danger-associated molecular patterns are known to activate a variety of pattern-recognition receptors that result in inflammation. The key features of ...
