Recognizing Atypical Heart Attack Symptoms: A Crucial Step in Timely Diagnosis
A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to the heart is obstructed, causing tissue damage. While classic symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, and anxiety, atypical symptoms such as pain in the jaw, arm, or abdomen; and those mimicking indigestion or stroke, can ...

Shift Work's Health Impacts: Risks, Adaptability, and Schedule Optimization
Shift work, especially night shifts, significantly impacts health, increasing risks of various diseases, including cancer, and disrupting sleep patterns. Adaptability varies with age and chronotype, with forward-rotating shifts and shorter workweeks recommended to minimize risks.
