Five-hundred seventy-five white-collar workers (374 men; 99% Caucasians) aged 20-59 years were selected on the basis of their being healthy and clinically free from cardiovascular risk factors (except smoking family history). We have observed a higher relative frequency epsilon 3 allele in this population, as is true populations with low prevalence coronary heart disease. Each 11 plasma lipid lipoprotein traits studied was adjusted for age, weight, height, body mass index, glucose, uric acid...

Aims. The aim of this paper is to report a study describe how cardiac patients experience the first 3 months following event requiring hospitalization, identify differences between needs expressed by and support they received during their recuperation produce preliminary model for development rehabilitation programmes, taking into account patient perspective. Background. Although should be standard care with cardiovascular disease, less than 20% begin maintain programme. Cited barriers...

Despite well-known recommendations from national and international bodies including the World Health Organization, few mothers achieve goal of breastfeeding exclusively for 6 months. Half stop due to biomechanical issues in first month, despite increasing support lactation consultants. Osteopaths worldwide work with these babies, but there is little empirical evidence this type treatment. Research aim: This study aimed determine efficacy an osteopathic treatment coupled usual consultations...

Hyperlipidemia, smoking, and obesity are well-known risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Conversely, moderate alcohol intake is associated with lower atherosclerosis risk. However, the influence of taking on interrelationships these in a particular context has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we asked whether association between plasma measures lipid metabolism dependent defined by gender, age, body mass index (BMI), apolipoprotein E ( APOE) genotype. Data were obtained...

Apolipoprotein (apo) E polymorphism was among the first-reported genetic polymorphisms that explained part of normal variation in plasma cholesterol concentrations humans. The aim this study to assess influence allelic at apo gene locus on lipoprotein profile hyperlipidemia. levels hyperlipidemic subjects major phenotypes (E3/2, E3/3, and E4/3) were compared. One hundred eighty-two with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia 98 familial hypercholesterolemia due a 10-kb deletion their low density...

Few studies have examined empowerment interventions as they actually unfold in home care the context of chronic health problems. This study aims to document process it plays out with adults receiving services.The qualitative design chosen is a fourth generation evaluation combined case studies. A team and social services center situated Eastern Townships (Québec, Canada) will be involved at every step study. sample formed 15 professionals 30 their clients caregiver. Semi-structured...

We have found a novel apoE5 mutation, using isoelectric focusing (IEF), in two apparently unrelated French-Canadian subjects.Co-dominant inheritance was demonstrated the family of first proband, healthy male subject.The presence form not associated with lipid abnormalities or cardiovascular disease this family.The second proband hyperlipidemic female patient suffering from angina, no informative relatives available for study.In both individuals, monoclonal antibody studies that mutation loss...

Background Today’s healthcare professionals face numerous challenges. Improving reflection skills has the potential to contribute better management of complex patients and systems, as well improve professional practice. However, question how can inform identity development at undergraduate medical education level remains unanswered.

We studied the relationship between motives and engaged by Design: Cross-sectional analysis using data from Monitoring Activities Teenagers to Comprehend their Habits (MATCH) study. Method: Eight hundred two students age 10–11 years 17 primary schools New Brunswick, Canada completed questionnaire that collected on participated (individual, group-based, organised non-organised),...

The majority of obese subjects are treated by primary care physicians (PCPs) who often feel uncomfortable with the management obesity. In a previous study, we successfully developed, implemented and evaluated an obesity system based on training coaching health professionals family medicine groups (FMGs) team experts in management. Using pre/post design, this study suggested positive impact professionals' perceptions reported care. current research project is aimed at evaluating screening...

Clinical reasoning is an essential part of medical practice and therefore should be important clinical teaching. However, it has been still a challenge for teachers to support learners in the development their skills. As progress clerkship, so do learning needs. result, need multiple tools foster know when why use them. This article presents gathered as teacher's toolbox aimed at coaching towards next step well helping diagnose difficulties meet diverse needs learners. The focuses on three...

Abstract Background Primary care providers’ (PCPs) attitude toward obesity is often negative, and their confidence level for helping patients manage weight low. Continuing professional development (CPD) on the subject of based a single activity using traditional passive approach such as lectures known to have little effect performance or patient outcomes. The aim this study was evaluate impact an educational intervention management PCPs’ attitude, self-efficacy, practice changes...

This study was undertaken in 1695 adult subjects (870 women and 825 men) order to further document the complexity of influence apolipoprotein (apo) E genotypes on mean levels intragenotypic variability seven measures lipid metabolism. In addition, statistical relationships between these traits variation age, body mass index (BMI) waist‐to‐hip ratio (WHR) were assessed. The contribution age size inter‐individual found be dependent context, defined by gender apo genotype. Our findings are...

To meet community needs, injury prevention programs for children should be targeted to trends in objective data on mechanisms of injury. The aim the present study was identify most important severe mechanisms. retrospectively reviewed paediatric trauma patients two regional centres. Injury priority scores were computed using different severity measures – score (ISS), revised score, trauma-related Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and mortality priorities. A total 3732 with identified; mean age (±SD)...

Substantial variation in plasma lipid, lipoprotein, and apolipoprotein B levels was found a sample of healthy white collar workers aged 23–59 years (144 women, 371 men) devoid most clinically identifiable manifestations cardiovascular disease or major biochemical anomalies for whom data were gathered Montreal, Canada, 1987. The nature this variability examined each gender by means stepwise linear regression analysis using indices biologic behavioral traits. In age, height, weight together...
