The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans focus on obesity prevention. They recommend increased consumption of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, fish, and low-fat dairy products, within a balanced diet whose total calories have been moderately reduced. Meanwhile, other well-known and well-funded
There is limited information regarding the outcomes associated with acetaminophen (APAP) poisoning in obese individuals. It is possible that patients who are obese are more susceptible to APAP-induced liver injury, thereby diminishing the efficacy of antidotes such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC). We
The increasing prevalence of obesity in developed nations has far-reaching implications for medical toxicology. The management of obese patients is complicated by comorbid illnesses, changes in cardiovascular and respiratory physiology, alterations in pharmacokinetics, and a lack of studies to
Family interactions about weight and health take place against the backdrop of the wider social discourse relating to the obesity epidemic. Parents (and children) negotiate complex and often contradictory messages in constructing a set of beliefs and practices around obesity and weight management.
Respiratory depression is the main cause of morbidity and mortality associated with opioids. Obesity increases opioid-related mortality, which is mostly related to co-morbid obstructive sleep apnea. Naloxone, a μ-opioid receptor blocker, is an effective antidote, but it reverses analgesia. Similar
There is an accumulating body of evidence to indicate that stress leads to the consumption of unhealthy, energy-dense, palatable food, potentially contributing to the alarming global prevalence of chronic diseases, including obesity. However, comparatively little research has been devoted to
OBJECTIVE
To critically evaluate the benefit/risk ratio of some strategies for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis (VTE) RECENT FINDINGS: A growing body of evidence shows that graduated elastic stockings are not effective in medical patients. Special surgical settings as bariatric surgery deserve
(1) The standard anticoagulant therapy for prevention of thrombosis after hip or knee replacement surgery is subcutaneous injection of a low-molecular-weight heparin, such as enoxaparin; (2) Rivaroxaban is an oral factor-Xa inhibitor anticoagulant approved for use in these indications in the
(1) The reference drug for prophylaxis against venous thromboembolism after hip or knee replacement surgery is a low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), given subcutaneously for 1 to 5 weeks. Vitamin K antagonists, including warfarin, have similar risk-benefit balances. (2) Subcutaneous melagatran and
Argatroban is a hepatically metabolized, direct thrombin inhibitor used for prophylaxis or treatment of thrombosis in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and for patients with or at risk of HIT undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The objective of this review is to summarize
Childhood obesity is emerging as a considerable public health problem with no clear antidote. The school food environment is a potential intervention point for policy makers, with competitive food and beverage regulation as a possible policy lever. This research examines the link between competitive
Background
Salvia hispanica seeds have been commonly used by people that seek healthy habits through natural foods to reduce cholesterol and triacylglycerides levels, however, the evidences that support this assumption are still scarce in literature. Here, we aimed to
