Sodium intake is high in Lebanon, a country of the Middle East region where rates cardiovascular diseases are amongst highest world. This study examines salt-related knowledge, attitude and self-reported behaviors adult Lebanese consumers investigates association socio-demographic factors, knowledge attitudes with behaviors. Using multicomponent questionnaire, cross-sectional was conducted nine supermarkets Beirut, based on systematic random sampling (n = 442). Factors associated were...
High dietary salt intake is directly linked to hypertension and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Predicting behaviors regarding habits vital guide interventions increase their effectiveness. We aim compare the accuracy of an artificial neural network (ANN) based tool that predicts behavior from key knowledge questions along with clinical data in a high risk cohort relative least square models (LSM) method.We collected knowledge, attitude on 115 patients. A score was calculated classify...
The use of the Coronary Artery Calcium Score (CACS) for risk categorization instead Framingham Risk (FRS) or European Heart SCORE (EHS) to improve classification individuals is well documented. However, impact reclassifying using CACS on initiating lipid lowering therapy not understood. We aimed determine percentage requiring as per FRS and EHS models but are found require it vice versa; level agreement between CACS, based models.Data was collected 500 consecutive patients who had already...
genotypes of hemostatic system.One patient (2,3%) had unfavorable heterozygous according to 5 studied variants predisposing the development thrombophilia; 8 (18%) 4 SNP, 14 (32%) 3 2 SNPs, (9% ) -1 SNP; only three (7%) individuals did not have adverse alleles.The frequency registration thromboses shown in table.At same time, data are available on prevalence alleles 5G and 4G polymorphic variant PAI-1 gene healthy adolescents Russia.In particular, homozygotes both at allele less frequently...
Introduction: Cigarette smoke is a major risk factor of cardiovascular diseases. Heme regulates the activity enzymes and transcription factors including Bach1. Bach1 competes with Nrf2 transcriptional inhibits expression anti-oxidative enzymes. However, molecular mechanism activation its impact on response after exposure to cigarette not clear. Hypothesis: We aim understand through which impairs response. Methods: Primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were exposed extract...
