Preeclampsia is a disease that is strongly linked with the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular disease. This is a condition with greater prevalence in the Low and middle income countries of the world especially sub-Saharan Africa, where the morbidity and mortality is reportedly higher. Larger
INTRODUCTION:
Overall lipid profile is important in cardiovascular diseases but particularly serum HDL levels have long been recognized as an independent inverse prognostic marker of CVD, when the Framigham study, in 1980s showed that HDL below 40-60mg/dl is of prognostic relevance. A rise of 1mg/dl

1. Introduction Neonatal sepsis is a clinical syndrome of bacteremia with systemic symptoms and signs of infection in the first 28 days of life. In recent national studies, the incidence of suspected neonatal sepsis among admitted neonates varied from 32.9% to 45.9% with a higher incidence in
Introduction:
The human gastrointestinal system is populated with a variety of symbiotic microorganisms, namely microbiota. Its total weight is approximately 2 kilograms, containing trillions of microorganisms. The microbiome is the total genetic (metagenomic) data of the microbiota. In recent
Residual cardiovascular (CV) risk remains in dyslipidemic patients despite intensive statin therapy, underscoring the need for additional intervention. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, is incorporated into membrane phospholipids and atherosclerotic plaques and
The retrospective studies have shown that most atherosclerotic plaques responsible for future acute coronary syndromes are angiographically mild, and the lesion-related risk factors for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) are poorly understood. Pathological studies have shown that thrombotic
Introduction This study will evaluate the effect on glucose, lipid and bone metabolism following conservative orthopaedic procedures in patients who suffered from acute Achilles tendon rupture. The sedentary rehabilitation period following these procedures may impact negatively upon glucose, lipid
Protocol 09-2009 EVALUATION OF CAROTID IMT AND ATHEROGENIC RISK FACTORS IN PATIENTS WITH CEREBROTENDINOUS XANTHOMATOSIS
ABSTRACT Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare disease characterized by xanthomatous lesions in many tissues, mainly in the brain. Mutation in the gene of sterol
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in the western world. HMG-co A Reductase (statins) stands in the first line of treatment of cardiovascular disease because of their direct effect on LDL and their pleotrophic effect (mainly anti-inflammatory).
Recent evidences showed beneficial
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main causes of death and hospitalization in patients affected by ESRD . The risk of death from CVD is already detectable in the early steps of chronic renal failure and it is from 20 to 30 times higher than in the general population. In ESRD patients the

1.0 SYNOPSIS The primary objective of this randomized, double blind, placebo controlled pilot study is to determine if therapies aimed at lowering LDL cholesterol (HMGCoA reductase inhibitor - simvastatin) or increasing HDL cholesterol (Niaspan) will induce regression of carotid
