<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Monitoring levels and trends in premature mortality is crucial to understanding how societies can address prominent sources of early death. The Global Burden Disease 2016 Study (GBD 2016) provides a comprehensive assessment cause-specific for 264 causes 195 locations from 1980 2016. This includes evaluation the expected epidemiological transition with changes development where local patterns deviate these trends. <h3>Methods</h3> We estimated deaths years...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma are common diseases with a heterogeneous distribution worldwide. Here, we present methods risk estimates for COPD from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors (GBD) 2015 study. The GBD study provides annual updates on deaths, prevalence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), summary measure fatal non-fatal outcomes, over 300 injuries, 188 countries 1990 to most recent year.
Measurement of changes in health across locations is useful to compare and contrast changing epidemiological patterns against system performance identify specific needs for resource allocation research, policy development, programme decision making. Using the Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2016, we drew from two widely used summary measures monitor such population health: disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) healthy life expectancy (HALE). We these track trends...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Detailed assessments of mortality patterns, particularly age-specific mortality, represent a crucial input that enables health systems to target interventions specific populations. Understanding how all-cause has changed with respect development status can identify exemplars for best practice. To accomplish this, the Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) estimated sex-specific between 1970 195 countries territories at...
Introduction Diabetes self-management education is a cornerstone of diabetes care. However, many diabetics in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) lack sufficient knowledge about their disease due to illiteracy. Thus, before considering any possible intervention it was imperative assess present knowledge, attitudes, and practices patients towards management diabetes. Methods A random sample 575 DM selected from outpatient's clinics Tawam Al-Ain hospitals city during 2006–2007, attitude practice...
Visceral obesity and related diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Adiponectin a hormone that secreted by adipose tissue may play an important role obesity-related morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate total adiponectin levels overweight obese UAE subjects visiting health care facilities for weight management.All community centers were invited take part study. Two hundred six participants received individualized structured dietary...
Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in world. In United Arab Emirates (UAE), it accounts for 40% mortality. CVD caused by multiple cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs) including obesity, dysglycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension and central obesity. However, there are limited studies focusing on burden among young Emirati adults. This study investigates CRFs a sample Emiratis, estimates distribution relation to sociodemographic behavioral determinants....
Objective. To measure the extent of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared controls, and to evaluate any potential vascular risk factors.
This study was designed to determine the glycemic indices of five commonly used varieties dates in healthy subjects and their effects on postprandial glucose excursions individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Composition analysis carried out for types (Tamer stage). The weights flesh equivalent 50 g available carbohydrates were calculated. thirteen volunteers a mean (± SD) age 40.2 ± 6.7 years ten participants mellitus (controlled lifestyle measures and/or metformin) HbA1c 6.6 (0.7%) 40.8...

Objective: The United Arab Emirates (UAE), with its characteristic local population, geography, and history, presents several risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in obese individuals. Obesity associated complications, including diabetes, atherogenic dyslipidemia, CVDs leading to significant health risks. In the present study, "Youths" defined as young people between 18 22 years. We assessed inflammation, oxidative stress biomarker levels their association endothelial dysfunction...
This study was designed to assess the physical activity practice among type 2 diabetic patients in United Arab Emirates (UAE).This is a cross-sectional of who participated outpatient clinics Al-Ain District, during 2006. The completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire, and measurements blood pressure, body mass index, fat, abdominal circumference, glycemic control (HbA1c), fasting lipid profile.Of 390 recruited, only 25% reported increase their levels following diagnosis diabetes, 3%...
We present a case of pregnant woman at 27 weeks gestation with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed severe thrombocytopenia presenting melena, epistaxis, gum bleeding and frank hematuria. She was resistant to most treatment modalities, including steroids, intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), rituximab, IV cyclophosphamide eltrombopag. responded romiplostim normalization her platelet count, which enabled be delivered safely 34 gestation.
The present study was carried out to investigate the changes in oxidative and inflammatory status streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat’s kidneys serum following treatment with Withania coagulans , a popular herb of ethnomedicinal significance. key markers stress inflammation such as cytokines (IL-1 β IL-6, TNF-α) immunoregulatory (IL-4 IFN- γ ) were increased along significant hyperglycemia. However, four-month rats (10 mg/kg) for 3 weeks significantly attenuated hyperglycemia reduced levels...
The P2X7 receptor, a member of the P2X family nucleotide-gated channels, is predominantly expressed by monocytic cells. activation this receptor has been associated with downstream-signalling cascades, resulting in release number inflammatory mediators. There are more than 815 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that have described human P2X7R gene, but only few functionally characterized. main aim study to determine whether gene confer susceptibility rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A total...
Introduction Family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease, and the increases with number family members affected. It offers insights into shared genetic, environmental lifestyle factors that influence risk. In this study, we aimed to estimate association CVD its factors, as well affected parents or siblings, prevalence major cardiometabolic (CRFs) such hypertension, dysglycemia, dyslipidemia obesity in a sample young adults. Methods...
Statins are essential for managing cardiovascular disease (CVD), but adverse effects often lead to treatment discontinuation and non-adherence, underscoring the need personalized approaches. This study aimed evaluate influence of pharmacogenomic (PGx) variants demographic factors on statin-associated in a multiethnic cohort from United Arab Emirates (UAE). sub-analysis EmHeart Study included 675 patients using rosuvastatin or atorvastatin.
