- Cardiovascular risk factors (age,
Introduction
The sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder characterized by abnormal hemoglobin called hemoglobin S or sickle hemoglobin in red blood cells of subjects. The homozygous form (hemoglobin SS) causes sickle cell anemia and is the most severe kind of sickle cell disease. Hemoglobin SC
Detailed Description: EXTRAVIRGIN OLIVE OIL CORATINA INTERVENTION ON LIPIDS IN NON-DIABETIC HYPERTENSIVE (H) PATIENTS WITH HYPERLIPIDEMIA (H)UNDERGOING PERIODIC HEMODIALYSIS (H) (EVOOC-3H) INTRODUCTION What is known. The primary causes of death in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD) are
Twenty-five sedentary class 2 and above obese [body mass index (BMI) >35 kg/m2, waist circumference >40 inches (men) or >35 inches (women)] men and women (18-45 yrs) will participate in these experiments. Individuals under 18 years of age will not be investigated due to the invasive nature of the
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. CVD is attributed to a combination of major risk factors including hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, poor diet, low physical activity levels, and vascular endothelial cell dysfunction.
The vascular
The primary objective of this pilot study is to investigate if an early treatment of intraoperative hypotension driven by an Edwards Lifesciences new technology (Hypotension Probability Index - HPI software) and integrated hemodynamic variables is able to determine a modification of the blood levels
Oxygen supplement during general anaesthesia During general anaesthesia the use of supplemental oxygen to avoid life-threatening hypoxaemia has been common practice for many years. This lead to supranormal levels of oxygen in the lungs (hyperoxia) and most patients also have supranormal levels of
Ischemic stroke constitutes about 80-85% of all stroke cases and is caused by the interruption of cerebral blood flow due to a blood clot. Because of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and its oxidative metabolite activity, the brain is highly sensitive to oxidative stress. This characteristic
The pathophysiology of post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in cardiac surgery patients has not been fully elucidated, but inflammation and oxidative stress are associated with its occurrence. Increased activity of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase and production of
INTRODUCTION Glutamine (GLN) is the most abundant free amino acid in the body, and commonly known as a non-essential amino acid due to the ability of most cells to produce it. It has many essential metabolic functions in the organism; it is an energy substrate for most cells (especially for
Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It determines a substantial socioeconomic burden. Stroke can lead to varying degrees of oropharyngeal dysphagia (25-85% of patients) and respiratory muscle dysfunction associated with an increase in medical complications such as
OSAS patients are required to fill in questionnaire.And Inflammation biomarkers and Oxidative Stress biomarkers and ultrasonic will be tested.Then patients are randomly allocated to one of two groups. One group is treated with oral intake of Antioxidant Carbocysteine 500mg tid. The second group is
This intervention will take place at two independent sites, The Institute of Food Research's Human Nutrition Unit (HNU)in Norwich and the Hugh Sinclair Human Nutrition Unit (HSU), at the University of Reading. The participants recruited from Norwich and Reading will solely attend the unit in their
When cardiopulmonary resuscitation results in the return of spontaneous circulation, intensive care is required to optimize neurological recovery. The pathophysiological reactions that follow hypoxic brain injury are complex, and the mechanisms by which ischemia causes neuronal death leading to
Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) have a higher risk of death from coronary artery disease and stroke (Gorell, Johnson, & Rybicki, 1994; Postuma & Lang, 2004). Seventy percent of people with PD suffer from dementia or cognitive impairment. Decreased levels of B vitamins are linked to
