The gut microbiota represents a potential treatment target in heart failure (HF) through microbial metabolites such as trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and systemic inflammation. Treatment with the probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii have been suggested to improve left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).In multicentre, prospective randomized open label, blinded end-point trial, we patients LVEF <40% New York Heart Association functional class II or III, despite optimal medical therapy,...
Purpose The present study seeks to compare scores on factors from the Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) with an abbreviated version of Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) examination grade among undergraduate psychology students. purpose is investigate relationship between course experience approaches learning, examine their relative importance as predictors academic achievement. Design/methodology/approach Confirmatory factor analyses structural equation...
Background and aimsWomen with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are recommended to initiate statin treatment at the same age as men (from 8 10 years of age). However, statins contraindicated when pregnancy is planned, during breastfeeding. The aim study was determine duration pregnancy-related off-statin periods breastfeeding in FH women.MethodsA cross-sectional using an anonymous online self-administered questionnaire conducted. Women were recruited through Lipid Clinics...
Background: Previous studies have suggested that physical exercise can reduce symptoms for subjects suffering from panic disorder (PD). The efficacy of this intervention has so far not been compared to an established psychotherapy, such as cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). Assessment controlled long-term effects and the clinical significance treatment are also lacking. Aim: To compare CBT PD, assess clinically significant effects. Method: PD-patients were randomized either three weekly...
Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most common disease. Elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol are a risk factor; however, lipid-lowering treatment seems not to prevent progression AS. The importance LDL in development AS thus remains unclear. People with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) have elevated from birth and until starts. Thus, FH may serve as model disease study for AS.To compare incidence per year all genetically proven patients Norway these diseases total...
Abstract Low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis is well‐established in selected patients with uncontrolled LDL levels. As such treatment affects biomarkers important atherosclerosis and acute coronary syndromes, we systematically compared the inflammatory response induced by three columns. Three heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia participated a cross‐over study six consecutive treatments different columns: DL‐75 (whole blood adsorption), LA‐15 (plasma EC‐50W filtration). Biochemical...
Early and lifelong treatment is essential in patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) due to genetically elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from the first years of life. In women FH, lipid-lowering interrupted during childbearing contraindication medication conception, pregnancy breastfeeding. However, little known about impact breastfeeding on lipid profile other risk markers for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) FH compared without...
To evaluate the feasibility of integrating vestibular rehabilitation and cognitive behaviour therapy (VR-CBT) for people with persistent dizziness in primary care.Prospective single-group pre- post-test study.Adults (aged 18-70) acute onset symptoms lasting a minimum 3 months, recruited from Bergen municipality.Participants attended eight weekly group sessions VR-CBT intervention. Feasibility outcomes consisted recruitment testing procedures, intervention adherence, participant feedback,...
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis is a long-term treatment and its impact on risk factors other than lipoproteins could be of importance. Three patients with familial hypercholesterolemia participated in six consecutive treatments three different LDL columns random order: DL-75, LA-15, EC-50W. We compared effects hemoglobin, leukocytes, platelets, fibrinogen, thrombin-antithrombin complexes (TAT), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), homocysteine. Hemoglobin, leukocytes platelets...
Background and Purpose— Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common autosomal dominant disease leading to increased level of serum LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol risk coronary heart disease. Whether FH increases the cerebrovascular disease, including ischemic stroke, debated. Accordingly, we studied incidence in cohort people with genetically verified compared entire Norwegian population examined whether this previous had Methods— Incidence rates hospitalization for (among 3144...
