all ways to treat high blood pressure. There's a lot of talk about high blood pressure in the barbershop. That's because almost 40 percent of black men have it.

Joseph Ravenell: How barbershops can keep men healthy | TED · TED

That means that almost every single black man either has high blood pressure or knows a black man who has it.

Sometimes, those conversations in the barbershop would be about what happens when high blood pressure is not adequately addressed.

even though decades of medical wisdom and science have demonstrated that death from high blood pressure can be prevented with timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

with timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. So why is high blood pressure so differentially deadly for black men? Because too often, high blood pressure is either untreated

So why is high blood pressure so differentially deadly for black men? Because too often, high blood pressure is either untreated or under-treated in black men,

Joseph Ravenell: How barbershops can keep men healthy | TED · TED

in part because of our lower engagement with the primary healthcare system. Black men, in particular those with high blood pressure, are less likely to have a primary care doctor

of course the barbershop is a perfect place to talk about high blood pressure and other health concerns in the community. First, the barbershop is not a medical setting,

it's a place where you're more open to have a conversation about health and especially about high blood pressure. After all,

that uniquely affect it. When high blood pressure screening expanded from clinics and hospitals to communities in the 1960s and '70s,

Joseph Ravenell: How barbershops can keep men healthy | TED · TED

We teamed up with an amazing cadre of black barbers and taught them how to measure blood pressure and how to counsel their customers

Joseph Ravenell: How barbershops can keep men healthy | TED · TED

and refer them to doctors to help manage high blood pressure. The barbers were not only willing to do it

Joseph Ravenell: How barbershops can keep men healthy | TED · TED

Over a three-year period, the barbers measured thousands of blood pressures resulting in hundreds of black men being referred to doctors

Joseph Ravenell: How barbershops can keep men healthy | TED · TED

resulting in hundreds of black men being referred to doctors for medical care of their high blood pressure. These barber-doctor partnerships

Joseph Ravenell: How barbershops can keep men healthy | TED · TED

resulted in a 20 percent increase in the number of men who were able to achieve target blood pressure levels and a three-point drop, on average,

Joseph Ravenell: How barbershops can keep men healthy | TED · TED

and a three-point drop, on average, in the blood pressure of each participant. If we were to extrapolate that three point drop

Joseph Ravenell: How barbershops can keep men healthy | TED · TED

If we were to extrapolate that three point drop to every single black man with high blood pressure in America, we would prevent 800 heart attacks, 500 strokes and 900 deaths

Joseph Ravenell: How barbershops can keep men healthy | TED · TED

we would prevent 800 heart attacks, 500 strokes and 900 deaths from high blood pressure in just one year.

to reach over 7,000 older black men. And we've offered high blood pressure screening and counseling to each and every one of them.

So it turns out oncRNAs are not actually confined to cancer cells. Some of them are nicely packaged and released into the blood. And this is something that healthy cells do as well with other small RNAs.

doesn't it mean that we should be able to detect them in blood samples from cancer patients? The answer, turns out, is yes, but with an asterisk.

What If a Simple Blood Test Could Detect Cancer? | Hani Goodarzi | TED · TED

The answer, turns out, is yes, but with an asterisk. So the oncRNAs that we detect in blood samples from patients actually form a partial barcode.

because only a subset of oncRNAs are actually secreted from cancer cells into the blood. And even a smaller subset can be reliably detected
