Although the process of hair going gray is mostly age-related, other factors can alter the timeline, says UCI Health dermatologist Dr. Natasha Mesinkovska. Genes, nutritional deficiencies and stress can also make an impact.

“I do believe that chronic things exhaust you, and that’s why mice studies show that if you bug them nonstop, it will make them go gray.”

Heart attacks don’t always look the same — and symptoms can differ between men and women. Knowing the signs could save a life.

While chest pain or pressure is common, women may also experience symptoms like nausea, shortness of breath, fatigue, or pain in the jaw, back or neck. Men may be more likely to report chest discomfort, arm pain or sweating — but anyone can experience a range of symptoms.
During Heart Health Month, we encourage you to learn the warning signs and listen to your body. If you or someone around you experiences these symptoms, don’t wait — seek immediate medical care or call 911.

Your heart health matters. UCI Health is here to support you every step of the way.

The Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program has been expanding swiftly in response to the increasing number of patients in need of the life-preserving treatments. Its new home base at the UCI Health — Irvine acute care hospital includes a dedicated stem-cell transplant wing that has increased inpatient bed capacity by 200%.
