November 16th: World Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Day

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a heterogenous lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (breathlessness, cough, sputum production, exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airways (bronchitis, bronchiolitis) and/or alveoli (emphysema) that cause persistent, often progressive, airflow obstruction. COPD is one of the top three causes of death worldwide, causing more than 3 million deaths in 2012, accounting for 6% of all deaths globally.

Research Spotlight: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) research in the Cardiovascular Health and Autonomic Research Laboratory

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormonal disorder in women, affecting 10% of pre-menopausal women. Women with PCOS may present with a number of reproductive, metabolic, cardiovascular and psychological complications and co-morbidities. Despite this, PCOS remains one of the most poorly understood medical disorders among patients, physicians, and scientists.

KPE鈥檚 Olivia Pastore discusses the importance of recognizing World Spine Day

Taking place on October 16 each year, World Spine Day highlights the importance of spinal health and well-being, as well as recognizing the burden of spinal pain and disability around the world. KPE鈥檚 Olivia Pastore, 3rd year PhD Candidate in the Theories and Interventions in Exercise and Health Psychology (TIE) laboratory, says that this day is important to recognize as an estimated one billion people worldwide suffer from spinal pain.

Looking ahead to the 2022-2023 year with KPEG President, Sarkis Hannaian

Following a tumultuous past few years amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022-2023 school year promises to be an exciting time with students back on campus for in-person learning.
