We assessed the impact of restaurant menu calorie labels on food choices and intake.Participants in a study dinner (n=303) were randomly assigned to either (1) without (no labels), (2) with (calorie or (3) label stating recommended daily caloric intake for an average adult plus information). Food during after measured.Participants both conditions ordered fewer calories than those no condition. When combined, that group consumed 14% group. Individuals condition more other conditions....
We investigated whether a commercial bi-level positive airway pressure (BPAP) device, would improve peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) during recreational aviation up to 12,500 feet without supplemental oxygen. Ten adults with flight experience (age:47 ± 14; female = 5) completed standardized profile in an unpressurised aircraft, involving randomized crossover design at 8,000 and BPAP or control. SpO2, middle cerebral artery velocity (MCAv), heart rate (HR), respiratory (RR), relative tidal...
Activation of both platelets and neutrophils can contribute to the risk major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are an important product platelet-neutrophil axis exaggerate vascular damage in disease. Additionally, activated drive NETosis directly linked thromboembolic risk. Investigating combined effect biomarkers for platelet activation represents a novel approach prediction post-AMI. Here, we examined...
In 48 conscious resting subjects we examined the temporal coupling of heart beat timing and onset inspiration (cardioventilatory coupling), relationship between spectral indices autonomic function. Using proportional Shannon entropy (SH(alpha)) RI(-1) interval (interval preceding ECG R wave) as a measure detected statistically significant in 32 subjects. This was confirmed by visual inspection time series plots RI intervals, which evident horizontal banding. Coupling resulted preference for...
Introducing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training in the high-school curriculum has been widely recommended as a long-term strategy to educate wider community. Although CPR included New Zealand school curriculum, it is listed an optional subject only.To assess attitude towards and knowledge of 16-17-year-old students Zealand.Questionnaires were administered 494 aged 16-17 years across six high schools Wellington, Zealand. Both evaluated questionnaire.Students showed poor theoretical...
The respiratory component of heart rate variability (respiratory sinus arrhythmia, RSA) has been associated with improved pulmonary gas exchange efficiency in humans via the apparent clustering and scattering beats time inspiratory expiratory phases alveolar ventilation, respectively. However, since human RSA causes only marginal redistribution to inspiration, we tested hypothesis that any association between amplitude may be indirect. In 11 patients fixed‐rate cardiac pacemakers 10 healthy...
It has long been believed that airline pilots are healthier than the general population. There a number of reasons why this should be case. However, there is very little evidence to support belief as fact. This study investigates health pilot population an Oceanic based compared population.Pilots who conducted their medical certificate renewal at airline's unit between 1 November 2009 and 31 October 2010 were included. A questionnaire was completed by each time renewal. Data from entered...
Factors affecting the Multiplate® assay's analytical precision have not been well defined. We investigated effect of methodological factors on measurement ADP-induced platelet aggregation using assay. was analysed in whole blood tested reproducibility measurement, different anticoagulants (hirudin, citrate and heparin) time delay (15, 30, 45, 60, 120 180 minutes) between sampling analysis patients. The use a manual calibrated pipette with analyser also tested. mean coefficient variation (CV)...
Background Effective stroke prevention with oral anticoagulants (OAC) is recommended for some patients atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to describe OAC use by geographical region and type of site in recent‐onset AF enrolled a large global registry. Methods Results Eligible participants were recruited into GLORIA‐AF (Global Registry on Long‐Term Oral Antithrombotic Treatment Patients With Atrial Fibrillation), prospective observational cohort study from 2014 2016 4 international regions:...
This 21-marker, 18-color panel was developed to accurately delineate monocyte subsets by manual gating and, once successfully gated, characterize function in-depth. optimized on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) density-separated from whole drawn into Cyto-Chex collection tubes (BCTs; Streck, La Vista, NE) healthy adults. All samples were analyzed a three-laser (violet-blue-red) Aurora full spectrum flow cytometer (Cytek Biosciences, Fremont, CA). Deep phenotyping achieved...
