OBJECTIVES: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) present several extraintestinal manifestations, including systemic inflammation and hypercoagulability. Limited studies have shown that patients IBD may a higher risk of developing atherosclerosis. The incidence coronary artery (CAD) the role traditional CAD factors in remain unclear. We sought to compare rates events matched controls. METHODS: performed longitudinal cohort study compared primary outcome was development events....
Several lines of evidence support the notion that elevated blood viscosity may predispose to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus by limiting delivery glucose, insulin, oxygen metabolically active tissues. To test this hypothesis, authors analyzed longitudinal data on 12,881 initially nondiabetic adults, aged 45–64 years, who were participants in Atherosclerosis Risk Communities (ARIC) Study (1987–1998). Whole was estimated using a validated formula based hematocrit total plasma...
The frequency and outcome of recurrent lupus nephritis (RLN) among recipients a kidney allograft vary single-center reports. From the United Network for Organ Sharing files, we estimated period prevalence predictors RLN in who received transplant between 1987 2006 assessed effects on failure recipients' survival. Among 6850 with systemic erythematosus, 167 had RLN, 1770 experienced rejection, 4913 control subjects did not experience rejection. was 2.44%. Non-Hispanic black race, female...
It is currently unknown whether intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering beyond that recommended would lead to more of the risk left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with hypertension and reducing LVH explains reported cardiovascular disease (CVD) benefits BP this population.
Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) was a frequent common outcome in SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial). We examined whether there differential reduction ADHF events from intensive blood pressure [BP] treatment among the 6 key, prespecified subgroups SPRINT: age ≥75 years, prior cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney women, black race, and 3 levels of baseline systolic BP (≤132 versus >132 to <145 ≥145 mm Hg).ADHF defined as hospitalization for ADHF, confirmed formally...
Aims: Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study assesses the impact of 1) metformin on GI and health-related quality life (HRQoL) 2) metformin-associated medication adherence newly beginning therapy. Methods: Patients T2DM aged ≥ 18 years starting from January to June 2007 who filled their prescriptions for 3 months were identified a health benefits company database. Via telephone, symptom was evaluated 360-patient sample using...
OBJECTIVES: Hispanics are the fastest growing minority in United States, yet few studies have examined phenotypes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) this population. No compare IBD presentation between foreign and US-born Hispanics. Our aim was to phenotypic characteristics non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs), as well foreign-born METHODS: We retrospectively identified cohorts adult patients from 1998 2009 compared ethnic variation phenotype, including type (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis (UC)),...
