Introduction and Background GERD is found in about one-third of the population of the USA. About 20 to 45 million people have been diagnosed by a doctor and have been prescribed daily acid reducing medications called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which are the mainstay of medical therapy for GERD.
Introduction Exercise has been shown to positively benefit bone health. It's well documented that an acute bout of weight bearing, high load and dynamic strain on the skeleton mobilizes markers of bone formation in normal weight males and females. Acute bouts of low-impact high intensity exercise
AIMS OF STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese
The study addresses the problem that postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes have a higher incidence of bone breaks despite their often normal bone mineral density (BMD).
The investigators pursued two hypotheses, that:
1. 40-minute bout of downhill exercise will increase the CICP/CTX osteogenic
Introduction: Two million individuals at a cost of around 2.3 billion dollars a year in Canada suffer from osteoporosis. Research that emphasizes the treatment of this disease is important, but so is research that focuses on prevention; reducing bone loss and/or increasing bone mass when young.
Participants were drawn from the Colaus study, a prospective study designed to evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) and identify genetic determinants of these risk factors in an adult Swiss population. Details of the sampling procedure have been previously published (22)
Vitamin D receptor gene mutations have been associated with increased incidence of arterial hypertension. While, hyperlipidemia and lipoprotein oxidation in bone is leading to osteoporosis by inhibiting osteoblastic differentiation It has been reported that vitamin D supplementation has shown
The aging of the U.S. population presents a number of challenges, many of which that can be addressed through nutritional approaches. Postmenopausal women are particularly at-risk for a number of diseases such as osteoporosis (By 2020 it is estimated that 50 percent of women at 50 years and older
The risk of bone loss in response to immobilization and space flight is widely recognized, with such bone losses occurring predominantly in the legs. Loading forces in the lower extremities are typically low in space and during bed rest, but musculoskeletal loading countermeasures can prevent or
At the Centre for andrology and sexual medicine at Karolinska University Hospital about 30 genetic males (MtF) and 25 genetic females (FtM) every year start hormone replacement therapy. This hormonal treatment includes inhibition of one's own sex hormone production (down regulation of the gonadal
Mucolipidoses (ML) are a group of inherited metabolic diseases in which both glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and another group of substances called sphingolipids build up in the body. GAGs are long, repeating chains of complex sugar molecules, and sphingolipids are fats. ML disorders may also be referred
BACKGROUND Aortic Stenosis is a common cause of valvular heart disease in which the valve cusps become progressively calcified. The only available treatment is aortic valve replacement and previous attempts at providing medical therapies to modify the disease process have proved
The design is a prospective controlled open-label multicenter intervention study. General practitioners in region of southern Denmark are responsible for the treatment, while central visits for additional data sampling are located at Odense University hospital, Holbaek Hospital, Naestved Hospital,
Hypothesis: DHA treatment would be able to revert, at least partially, the lipid disturbances associated with HAART and to improve or at least not to worse fat redistribution associated with HAART, without inducing further derangements to dendritic cells and monocyte functional ability.
Variables:
Turner Syndrome (TS) is characterized by ovarian dysgenesis and short stature resulting from the partial or complete deletion of one X-chromosome. Adults with TS have excessive rates of osteoporosis, hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus and may have increased morbidity and mortality as a
