In the study, subjects will be recruited in the hospital among the patients with brain MRI performed within past 4 weeks. All MRI scans will be reviewed by the neurologist to evaluate ischemic changes. Upon detection of LA, patients (n=150) will be informed about the study aims. In the same time,
Hyperglycemia is a common finding in patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with and without diabetes (1-4). Though percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the cornerstone of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
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
Background
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally. Ischemic heart disease (IHD) contributes the most to this statistic and since 1990 the global burden of IHD has increased. It is estimated that 50 000 Swedish patients are hospitalized every year due to IHD. The risk of
The purpose of this study is to establish a threshold of egg intake at which CVD risk is not negatively altered in young, healthy individuals. Participants (age 18-30, healthy lipid profile) will undergo a 2-week washout period followed by daily intake of 1, 2, and 3 eggs per day for 4 weeks each.
Intestinal microbiome has been considered a new therapeutic target for chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to its potential role on the metabolic disturbances associated to the disease. The abnormalities in the microbiota, frequently found in patients with CKD, contribute to the accumulation of uremic
Being overweight and obese significantly increases the risk of developing numerous diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), and certain cancers. The microbial community (microbiota) that resides within the gut play a notable role in obesity and its associated
Diets low in choline have adverse health consequences, while observations in humans and experiments in mouse models suggest that a diet containing too much choline or phosphatidylcholine may activate inflammatory pathways and increase cardiovascular disease risk through bacterial conversion of
Scientific Question: In obese, hypercholesterolemic (>169 mg/dl) 9-18 year olds and one of their parents are biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress and cardiovascular risk significantly reduced after a randomized 4 week trial of a reduced fat, vegan diet, or the American Heart Association
BACKGROUND:
The Nurses' Health Study began in 1976, when 121,700 female registered nurses living in eleven states completed a mailed questionnaire that included items about their medical history, diet, and other risk factors for cancer. The National Cancer Institute funded the first three years of
