It has been found that honey ameliorates cardiovascular risk factors in healthy individuals and patients with elevated factors. The present study investigated the effect of natural on total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density (HDL-C), triacylglycerole, C-reactive protein (CRP), fasting blood glucose (FBG), body weight overweight individuals. There were 55 patients, or obese, who randomly recruited into assigned two groups: control group (17 subjects)...
Fish-oil contains high concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids that have been shown to anti-inflammatory properties. We evaluated the effects purified acid supplements on several anthropometric and biochemical parameters, including heat shock protein (Hsp) 27 antibody titres in subjects with metabolic syndrome.Subjects (n = 120) syndrome (mean age 52.9 +/- 11.9 years) were randomly allocated one two groups: sixty given 1 gram fish oil as a single capsule, containing 180 mg eicosapentaenoic 120...
Cancer cachexia is defined as a multifactorial syndrome of involuntary weight loss characterized by an ongoing skeletal muscle mass and progressive functional impairment. It postulated that cardiac dysfunction/atrophy parallels atrophy in cancer cachexia. Cardiotoxic chemotherapy may additionally result dysfunction heart failure some patients. Heart thus be consequence either or chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity; at the same time, can cachexia, especially wasting. Therefore, subsequent...
Abstract Backgrounds and Aims There is limited evidence regarding the relationship between dietary behaviors irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This study aimed to explore association diet‐related practices prevalence of IBS. Methods The was conducted among 988 adolescent girls living in Iran. Dietary were pre‐defined assessed nine domains using a pre‐tested questionnaire. To investigate presence IBS, this used logistic regression analysis crude adjusted models. Results IBS 16.9% population....
Abstract Background Cancer is a systemic catabolic condition affecting skeletal muscle and fat. We aimed to determine whether cardiac atrophy occurs in this assess its association with function, symptoms, clinical outcomes. Methods Treatment naïve metastatic non‐small cell lung cancer patients ( n = 50) were assessed prior 4 months after commencement of carboplatin‐based palliative chemotherapy. included echocardiography for left ventricular mass (LVM) LV function [LV ejection fraction,...
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in Western populations. We have investigated the relationship between presence MS and other conventional factors, angiographically defined CAD, a Middle Eastern population. Patients (n = 431) attending hospital cardiology clinic for angiography were assessed. Each patient subsequently underwent routine angiography. Anthropometric biochemical data used to establish whether patients had MS, using...
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/Ang II/Ang 1–7 and the apelin/APJ are two important peptide systems which exert diverse effects on cardiovascular system. ACE2 is a key negative regulator of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) where it metabolizes angiotensin (Ang) II into Ang 1–7, an endogenous antagonist II. Both prolonged activation RAS loss can be detrimental as they lead to functional deterioration heart progression cardiac, renal, vascular diseases. Recombinant human in animal model...
An accurate estimation of the prevalence paediatric asthma in Alberta and elsewhere is hampered by uncertainty regarding disease definition diagnosis. Electronic medical records (EMRs) provide a rich source clinical data from primary-care practices that can be used better understanding occurrence disease. The Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network (CPCSSN) database includes cleaned extracted EMRs practitioners. purpose study was to develop validate case children 1-17 who consult...
Autologous rich plasma (PRP) is blood with enhanced concentration of platelets and enriched several growth factors which stimulate tissue regeneration. The current study aimed to investigate the effect PRP on hair regrowth in patients alopecia areata (AA) totalis. Ten subjects (28.9 ± 6.28 years; five males females) clinically diagnosed AA totalis for at least 3 years who had not received any treatment within months prior were recruited. Blood sample was collected thrombocyte harvesting...
Background Metabolic syndrome is defined by a clustering of cardiovascular risk factors and associated with heightened inflammatory state. A raised serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, marker inflammation, also known to associate risk. We have investigated the relationship between presence metabolic protein concentration in large representative Persian population cohort without history disease. Methods The MASHAD study comprised 9778 subjects, who were recruited from city Mashhad,...
