Commented on Mobile money adoption, input use, and farm output among smallholder rice farmers in Ghana
Showed growth through adapting to tech: "Adopters of the technology applied 18% and 13% more fertilizer and herbicides, respectively than nonadopters. The output increased by about 4% for the adopters. The results also show that mobile money technology adoption, input use and farm output are significantly influenced by education, farmer-based organization (FBO) membership, access to credit, input prices, and location fixed effects."

Commented on The protective impact of telecare on persons with dementia and their caregivers during the COVID‐19 pandemic

Commented on Delaying dementia: Can antihypertensives prevent Alzheimer dementia?
Subscription required for full article. Part of the article seen here: https://n.neurology.org/content/81/10/860.long However, this article shows that antihypertensive medication or beta blockers lower the risk of cognitive impairment, but it is within a specific population, so it cannot be generalized. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23911753/

Article

Commented on Iron deficiency: an ominous sign in patients with systolic chronic heart failure
Interesting to look at this factor for those with CHF. A third of the world is anemic and half of that is due to iron deficiency.

Commented on Pre-pandemic mental and physical health as predictors of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy: evidence from a UK-wide cohort study
