The dogma over the past 3 decades, particularly in the field of sleep medicine, has been that intermittent hypoxia (IH) is a detrimental stimulus that leads to a number of co‐morbidities including autonomic (e.g. increased sympathetic nervous system activity), cardiovascular (e.g. hypertension,
Detailed Description: EXTRAVIRGIN OLIVE OIL CORATINA INTERVENTION ON LIPIDS IN NON-DIABETIC HYPERTENSIVE (H) PATIENTS WITH HYPERLIPIDEMIA (H)UNDERGOING PERIODIC HEMODIALYSIS (H) (EVOOC-3H) INTRODUCTION What is known. The primary causes of death in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD) are
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has a pivotal role in the initiation as well as the progression of atherosclerosis. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) exerts a protective effect on the cardiovascular system, and serum HDL-cholesterol levels correlates inversely with atherosclerosis severity,
Oxygen supplement during general anaesthesia During general anaesthesia the use of supplemental oxygen to avoid life-threatening hypoxaemia has been common practice for many years. This lead to supranormal levels of oxygen in the lungs (hyperoxia) and most patients also have supranormal levels of
Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the major cause of death worldwide. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the arteries in which activated macrophages are abundant in the atherosclerotic lesions. Macrophages play key roles during early atherogenesis.
INTRODUCTION Glutamine (GLN) is the most abundant free amino acid in the body, and commonly known as a non-essential amino acid due to the ability of most cells to produce it. It has many essential metabolic functions in the organism; it is an energy substrate for most cells (especially for
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), especially atherosclerotic coronary heart disease and stroke, are the leading causes of death globally. Important risk factors for CVDs include elevated serum levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, triglycerides, and low high-density
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disorder, associated with airflow obstruction and bronchial hyper-responsiveness, which affects about 10% of population in Hong Kong. It has been a major respiratory disease in Hong Kong that carries significant morbidity and high hospitalization burden in all
Myocardial ischemia is one on the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in the United States. The initial injury to the myocardium is due to a state of imbalance when oxygen demand exceeds supply. This is most pronounced in the cases of sudden total occlusion of a coronary artery that results in
Background:
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is an oral or intravenous agent that replenishes glutathione which in turn allows for the formation of glutathione peroxidase, an important enzyme in the degradation cascade of reactive free oxygen radicals. NAC has been shown to reduce recurrent cardiac events in
