Subjects: A total of 30 participants will be enrolled in this double-blinded prospective, randomized controlled trial. All participants will sign a written consent after details of the study have been fully explained to them. Later on, they will be randomly allocated into two study groups;
Bipolar Disorder is a chronic disabling psychiatric disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of mania or hypomania and depression. Bipolar Disorder can be separated into bipolar I and bipolar II disorders with bipolar I disorder characterizing individuals who have episodes of mania and
The "strong pulse disease" was treated by acupuncture, phlebotomy and leeches from 2600 to c. Modern history began when in 1628 William Harvey described the circulatory system and in 1733 stephen hales made the first blood pressure measurement. In 1896 was recognized as a clinical entity, thanks to
The study consists of a diet-intervention in a single group under-free-living conditions. The diet was enriched with 15g of almonds and 15g of walnuts per day for eight weeks, supplied directly to the patient by the researcher. This amounts of walnuts and almonds contain polyunsaturated fatty acids
Relevance and strategic approach Prostate Cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in western countries. Known risk factors are advanced age, ethnic origins and positive family history of the disease (1). There are considerable ethnic disparities in
CIPN is a common side effect of many chemotherapeutic agents and often results in dose limitation, switch to less efficacious agents or even therapy discontinuation. CIPN mainly affects sensory nerves, while motor or autonomic nerve injury is rare. Therefore, most patients with CIPN experience
Psoriasis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin disorders, affecting about 2% of the general population. It is considered to be a T-cell-mediated inflammatory skin disease which is characterized by hyper-proliferation and poor differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes. Even if the
An emerging concept in clinical nutrition is that dietary interventions may improve the course of systemic inflammatory disorders like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Most of this effect depends on the ability of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to modulate immune and inflammatory responses.
1.Rationale and Specific Aims
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the second most frequent cause of cancer related mortality in the United States. Animal and human studies have suggested that the marine-derived n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), eicosapentanoic acid
Walnuts contain high contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), particularly linoleic acid and linolenic acid. The high PUFA content has been suggested to reduce CVD risk through decreasing total and LDL-cholesterol concentrations, and increasing HDL-C concentrations. In addition, walnuts are
Population:Morbidly obese non-smoking patients of the Department of Gastroenterology, candidates for possible bariatric treatment Criteria for inclusion: Males and females, 18- 65 years old, body mass index/BMI > 40 kg/m2 (or > 35 kg/m2 with comorbidities), non-hospitalized and receiving general
The specific aim is to determine the effect of progressive resistance training and α-linolenic acid supplementation for decreasing markers of inflammation and improving muscle mass and strength in older adults. This will be done by comparing older adults who will participate in the same resistance
In addition disturbing news on alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) has recently been reviewed by Brouwer and colleagues (J Nutr:2004). Their analyses suggests that ALA, as found in canola oil and other healthy foods, may cause prostate cancer even though there is good evidence that canola oil will prevent
