Chronic sympathetic nervous system overactivity has been implicated as a factor capable of elevating and maintaining high serum cholesterol levels independent dietary measures. We conducted controlled trial to determine the effect relaxation technique. Transcendental Meditation, on in hypercholesterolemic subjects. Serum were measured at beginning end an 11-month period 12 subjects who regularly practiced meditation. Eleven controls did not practice technique similarly followed up for 13...
Abstract Background Antibodies that inhibit hemagglutination have long been considered a correlate of protection against influenza, but these antibodies are only subset potentially protective antibodies. Neutralizing and neuraminidase may also contribute to protection, data on their associations with limited. Methods We measured preoutbreak hemagglutinin pseudovirus neutralization (PVN) inhibition (NAI) antibody titers in unvaccinated military recruits who experienced an H3N2 influenza...
Maternal hyperglycemia may result in fetal hyperinsulinemia and asymmetric septal hypertrophy, macrosomia, hypoglycemia infants of diabetic mothers. We monitored glycosylated hemoglobin levels 61 pregnant women each trimester as an index maternal glycemic control did serial echocardiograms starting at 18 weeks gestation. At delivery, cord blood C-peptide were obtained hyperinsulinemia. Infants assessed for hypoglycemia, macrosomia thickening by echocardiography. Nineteen the (31%) had...
Tuberculosis continues to disproportionately affect many Indigenous populations in the USA, Canada, and Greenland. We aimed investigate whether population-based tuberculosis-specific interventions or changes general health socioeconomic indicators, a combination of these factors, were associated with tuberculosis incidence populations.
We studied neonates with the infradiaphragmatic form of total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage by a combination cross-sectional echocardiography and pulsed Doppler ultrasound. The diagnosis ultrasound was made prospectively in all six patients. Three large vascular channels could be observed passing through diaphragm from subcostal parasagittal plane. vessels were identified as descending aorta (to left), inferior vena cava right), channel (in center). insonated turn, ultrasound,...
Abstract Objectives This study compares very late outcomes following primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with stenting versus balloon angioplasty (BA) . Background Stenting compared BA STEMI improves at 6–12 months, but comparisons beyond months have not been studied. Recent studies shown that stent thrombosis (ST) continues to increase 3–5 years and may be higher drug‐eluting stents (DES) than bare metal (BMS). We hypothesized there a...
Seasonal influenza vaccine formulas change almost every year yet information about how this affects the antibody repertoire of recipients is inadequate. New virus strains are selected, replacing older to better match currently circulating strains. But even while being manufactured can evolve. The ideal response a seasonal would maintain antibodies toward existing that might continue circulate, and generate cross-reactive antibodies, particularly towards conserved epitopes, potentially...
The data from a large group of children with biopsy proved coeliac disease born in the Rehovot-Ashdod region Israel and treated regional hospital provided us basis for determination annual birth cohort incidence period 1968-81. findings show minimum 1.71/1000 live births. highest rate was Asian origin lowest second generation born. rose sharply during study period.
