Background Expanding time window using the emerging technologies for mechanical thrombectomy can improve chances of achieving successful thrombectomy and improve clinical outcome in patients that would have only received conservative treatment. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness
Aim 1: To determine the effects of different stimulation intensities on relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF).
Currently, researchers use tDCS as an interventional modality to modulate the excitability of the brain, with measureable changes in both motor evoked potentials and physical performances.
Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a disabling condition that mostly affects young women in their reproductive age. It is characterized by chronic (>6 months) orthostatic intolerance symptoms (palpitation, lightheadedness, blurred vision and mental clouding) triggered by assuming an upright
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with an about two to three-fold increased risk for cardiovascular events as compared to subjects without diabetes.
Sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) is mainly expressed in human kidneys and small intestinal cells. In the proximal tubule
The current guidelines recommend statins as drugs of first choice in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. If the target LDL cholesterol is not achieved, combination of a statin with a cholesterol absorption inhibitor -ezetimibe may be considered.
According to meta-analyzes of studies assessing
Specific Aims and Hypothesis Diabetes is classified as an impairment of the body's ability to control blood glucose levels. Uncontrolled hyperglycemia can give rise to macrovascular (i.e., heart disease and stroke) and microvasculature damage such as retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy. These
Diabetes mellitus is a complex heterogeneous group of metabolic conditions characterized by increased levels of blood glucose due to impairment in insulin action and/or insulin secretion. Diabetes is a condition primarily defined by the level of hyperglycemia giving rise to risk of microvascular
The alarming rise in prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) among adolescents and young adults poses an enormous public health burden. Insulin resistance (IR) is a major physiological precursor to T2D. Depressive symptoms are associated with IR in adolescents and adults, predict adult-onset T2D, and
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease with a growing prevalence worldwide, affecting 171 million people in 2000 and an expected 366 million people in 2030 [1].. Currently available therapies for type 2 diabetes have various limitations and are associated with increased risk of hypoglycemia,
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) accounts for more than 90% of all diabetes. The worldwide prevalence of T2DM is increasing.
Microvascular and macrovascular complications are well known to cause significant morbidities and shorten life expectancy in diabetic patients. T2DM is the leading cause of
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
Quality of life in the elderly and their families is severely affected by stroke and cognitive dysfunction caused by atherosclerosis of the brain supplying arteries. Nutrition, namely a Mediterranean-style diet, nuts, soybean products, whole grain products, dark chocolate, fish oil and avoidance of
After food intake, insulin secretion depends not only on the degree of glycemia, but also on the secretion and insulinotropic effect of the gut hormones, gastric inhibitory polypeptide (or glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide; GIP) and glucagon-like polypeptide 1 (GLP-1), known as incretins.
People with diabetes who undergo heart surgery have a greater risk of experiencing a stroke and developing cognitive functioning problems than people without diabetes who undergo heart surgery. There may be a connection between disturbances in glucose metabolism, endothelial dysfunction, and poor
The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide. Obesity and being overweight are major risk factors for chronic cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and stroke, and certain types of cancers. JNJ-28431754 is being investigated in this study for its possible effectiveness
