The antioxidant activity (AA) of fruits and vegetables has been thoroughly investigated but less is known about the AA dietary supplements (DS). We therefore assessed three to five DS each from pomegranate, milk thistle, green tea, grapes, goji, acai using four widely used standard methods. secondary objective was determine effects in vitro digestion on their AA. prior ranked as follows: pomegranate > resveratrol tea grape seed thistle very low goji with significant group variability after...
Epigallocatechin gallate, epicatechin gallate (Green Tea Polyphenols – GTPs) and quercetin (Q) were taken up in prostate tissue after Q GTP consumption. Our findings herein suggest a potential effect of on metabolism.
In an era where obesity remains important public health concern, food addiction has emerged as a possible contributor to obesity. The DRD2 gene is the most studied polymorphism. aim of this study was investigate relationship between questionnaires, body composition measurements, and dopamine- resistant receptor polymorphism (DRD2 A1) among Asian Americans.A total 84 American college students were recruited. Participants underwent measurement via bioelectrical impedance, answered...
Objectives Vietnam is an endemic area for hepatitis B virus and C infection (HBV-HCV), yet its largest city, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), has no comprehensive policy to educate, screen, treat protect healthcare workers (HCWs) from viral hepatitis. We conducted a mixed-methods study document HBV-HCV rates, risk factors, local barriers opportunities providing education, screening medical care HCWs. Design This involved HBV HCV serological evaluation, knowledge, attitude practice survey about many...
The introduction of ultrasound guidance for regional anesthesia has resulted in an explosion interest its use postoperative analgesia, particularly orthopedic surgery. Regional demonstrates unequivocal superiority compared with systemic opioids respect to reduced opioid consumption, increased patient satisfaction, and earlier achievement discharge criteria. Improved acute analgesia can facilitate effective rehabilitation. Investigators are the early stages reporting effects on functional...
We conducted a community-based seroprevalence study using three HBV seromarkers (HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc) in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam, to (1) determine the prevalence of serologic profiles; (2) document factors associated with infection or susceptibility; and (3) propose strategies toward elimination by 2030.During 2019-2020, we deployed multistage cluster design probability proportionate size, recruit 20,000 adults for an screening linkage care program citywide. Screening results...
HDV, which coinfects individuals living with HBV, is the most aggressive form of viral hepatitis. Compared hepatitis B monoinfection, delta associated more rapid progression to cirrhosis and an increased risk liver cancer death. Despite being a major contributor B-associated disease, remains largely unknown general public, health care providers, at-risk communities. Given widespread lack awareness underdiagnosis in US, American Liver Foundation (ALF) Hepatitis (HBF) convened virtual Delta...

Abstract Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination in Vietnamese adults remains low and unequally distributed. We conducted a study on HBV-naïve living Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam, to determine barriers associated with HBV uptake after removing the financial barrier by providing free coupons for vaccination. Methods After being screened HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc, 284 participants aged 18 over (i.e., negative anti-HBc total) were provided 3-dose vaccine coupons. Next, participants’...
Background Systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients are at high risk for respiratory failure due to the progression of their disease. Investigating factors predictive impending in this patient population can be used improve hospital outcomes. Here, we investigate associated with developing hospitalized a diagnosis SSc United States using large, multi-year, population-based dataset. Methodology This retrospective study was conducted on hospitalizations from 2016 2019 and without principal National...
There have been conflicting results regarding the effect of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) as an adjunctive therapy to oral antidiabetic medication (OAM) in those with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). PPIs increase gastrin levels, causing a rise insulin. No studies evaluated duration PPI and its on glycemic control. Medical records across 8 hospitals between 2007 2016 were reviewed for 14,602 patients T2DM (not insulin therapy) taking PPIs. Values HbA1c (baseline, follow-up, difference two) prescribed...
