Background: It has been reported that walnuts reduce serum cholesterol levels in normal young men. Objective: To assess the acceptability of and their effects on lipid low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidizability free-living hypercholesterolemic persons. Design: Randomized, crossover feeding trial. Setting: Lipid clinic at a university hospital. Patients: 55 men women (mean age, 56 years) with polygenic hypercholesterolemia. Intervention: A cholesterol-lowering Mediterranean diet similar...
It has long been suggested that a varied diet may protect against gastric cancer, in the absence, however, of definition and quantification issue. Thus, we considered relationship between diversity (i.e., variety food intake computed as total number foods consumed at least once per week) risk cancer using data case-control study conducted 1985 1993 northern Italy on 746 gastric-cancer cases below age 75 years 2,053 controls admitted to hospital for acute, non-neoplastic, non-digestive-tract...
Cancer occurrence is associated with Arsenic (As) in drinking water. In Argentina, there are high As concentrations groundwater but no published evidence yet of an association between geographic patterns cancer incidence and the distribution supplies. The purpose this study to assess Córdoba province's aquifers. Age standardized rates (ASIRs) were obtained from Registry (CCR), data official reports monitoring wells. A multilevel model was applied. Total ASIRs by aquifers for males/females...
<b>Background:</b> Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) can be associated with neurotoxic side effects including cognitive dysfunction, a problem of considerable importance given the usual long-term course treatment. Pregabalin is relatively new AED widely used for treatment seizures and some types chronic pain fibromyalgia. We measured 12 weeks pregabalin in healthy volunteers. <b>Methods:</b> Thirty-two volunteers were randomized double-blind parallel study to receive or placebo (1:1). was titrated...
Cancer is the second cause of death in Argentina; nevertheless distribution cancer incidence rates throughout country unknown. This study was conducted to describe patterns Córdoba Province. Incidence data were supplied by Government Registry. Demographic information (age, sex, and place residence) diagnosis, certified a pathologist, about all incident cases from June 2003 May 2005 type 5-year age groups obtained. Comparison rate various counties performed using standardized (SIR) per 100...
In a randomized, cross-over feeding trial involving 10 men with polygenic hypercholesterolemia, control, Mediterranean-type cholesterol-lowering diet, and diet of similar composition in which walnuts replaced ~35% energy from unsaturated fat, were given for 6 weeks each. Compared the control walnut reduced serum total LDL cholesterol by 4.2% (P = 0.176), 6.0% 0.087), respectively. No changes observed HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein A-I levels or relative proportion protein,...
Abstract Background/objective the determination of carotid total plaque area (TPA) is an indicator subclinical atherosclerosis and a useful tool in early cardiovascular prevention. Classically, diabetes has been considered most atherogenic disease, even more so than hypertension, but incidence stroke heart attack higher patients with hypertension alone. Therefore, this study, we compared regard to burden atherosclerosis. Methods cross-sectional observational study was carried out on adults...
The relationship between social class indicators, body mass index (BMI), selected life-style habits (alcohol, coffee, maté and tea drinking) colorectal cancer was investigated in a case-control study conducted 1993 1997 Córdoba, Argentina, relatively high mortality area for cancer. Cases were 190 patients below age 80 years with incident, histologically confirmed adenocarcinomas, controls 393 admitted to hospital wide spectrum of acute, non-neoplastic disorders. Higher class, based on...
Epidemiological and laboratory research has shown that dietary components are associated with the risk of developing urinary tract tumors (UTT). The purpose this case-control study, carried out between 2004 2008 in Córdoba, a Mediterranean city Argentina, was to describe role patterns investigate any association UTT. One hundred sixty-eight patients histologically confirmed transitional UTT 334 controls acute, nonneoplastic, nonurinary diseases from same hospitals were studied. All...

Feeding habits play a prominent role in carcinogenesis. The dietary patterns approach applied to the study of chronic diseases is increasing interest nutritional epidemiology. Nevertheless, it has been seldom used Latin America.To identify adult population Córdoba (Argentina) and estimate their effects on risk colon-rectal (CRC), urothelial (UC), breast (BC) prostate (PC) cancers.Four case control studies were conducted, 2006-2012 for CRC, PC, BC UC. To patterns, Principal Components Factor...
Sodium ibuprofenate in hypertonic saline (NaIHS) administered directly to the lungs by nebulization and inhalation has antibacterial anti-inflammatory effects, with potential deliver these benefits hypoxic patients. We describe a compassionate use program that offered this therapy hospitalized COVID-19 patients.NaIHS (50 mg ibuprofen, tid) was provided addition standard of care (SOC) patients until oxygen saturation levels > 94% were achieved on ambient air. Patients wore containment hood...
