The risk of myocarditis increases 16 times after infection with the new crown
Statistics from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the proportion of myocarditis among people who were not infected with the new crown was about 9/100,000; while the proportion of people infected with the new crown was about 146/100,000.

Patients with diabetes and kidney disease should prevent anemia
So, why are diabetic nephropathy patients prone to anemia? Clinical observations have found that the pathogenesis of DKD is not single, and its main factors are: (1) Glucose toxicity. Serum ferritin (SF) is not only an indicator of iron storage in the human body, but also an inflammatory factor. Glucose toxicity is common in DKD patients, which will lead to a decrease in the release of serum iron, which in turn will increase SF and lead to increased oxidative stress in the body. And produce a large number of free radicals and oxidized lipids, leading to and aggravating anemia; (2) deterioration of renal function. In the process of renal function…

Long-term “eyelid jumping” may be a disease
Hemifacial spasm is a clinically common slowly progressive peripheral nerve disease, mainly manifested as involuntary twitching of one side of the face, mostly limited to one side, so it is also called hemifacial spasm. Current studies have confirmed that 80% to 90% of hemifacial spasms are caused by vascular compression in the area where the facial nerve exits the brainstem. A large number of clinical data show that the inferior anterior cerebellar artery and inferior posterior cerebellar artery are the main vascular factors leading to hemifacial spasm, while the superior cerebellar artery is less common. In addition, the superior labyrinthine artery and other abnormal large arteries such as vertebral artery…
