October – Black History Month

 

October – Black History Month 

#BlackHistoryMonth takes place during October every year celebrating the heritage and culture of black people, and their contribution to society.

Did you know that for almost 2 years, Elsevier has been conducting a project called EMPOWER which aims to make healthcare truly inclusive by partnering with hospitals and highlighting inclusive content? As an example, we can mention Gail Model for 5 Year Risk of Breast Cancer in Black Women. You can check the calculator here https://www.clinicalkey.com/#!/tools/calculators/calculator/77-s2.0-169 or join EMPOWER network by writing us to healthcare.empower@elsevier.com

World Thrombosis Day 2022

 

World Thrombosis Day

13th October 2022

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a condition in which a blood clot forms most often in the deep veins of the leg, groin or arm (deep vein thrombosis) and travels in the circulation, lodging in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Together, DVT and PE are known as VTE - a dangerous, potentially deadly medical condition.
