Diabetes type two is a debilitating disease that leads to chronic morbidity such as accelerated microvascular disease. Accelerated microvascular disease may produce blindness, end stage renal disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, and limb ischemia. Strategies to prevent or delay microvascular

Neuropathy affects approximately 30-50% of all diabetic patients and is the commonest form of neuropathy in the developed world. Pain is the most distressing symptom of neuropathy and the main factor that prompts the patient to seek medical advice. About 16-26% of diabetes patients experience

Results of epidemiologic studies and clinical trials indicate that moderate doses of n-3 unsaturated fatty acids reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease(CVD) and may improve prognosis. N-3 fatty acids have several beneficial cardiovascular properties (1-3), including antiatherothrombotic,

Background Cardiovascular diseases belong to the major causes of mortality in western populations. Atherosclerosis of arterial system may result in ischemic heart disease (IHD) and peripheral artery disease with possible fatal consequences such as acute myocardial infarction and

There exists ample evidence supporting the hypothesis that vitamin E supplementation to Hp 2-2 DM individuals will reduce the incidence of stroke, myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death. Data regarding the association between the Hp 1-1 and 2-1 phenotypes and vitamin E treatment on

Stroke is the third largest cause of death after heart disease and cancer in Malaysia. It is estimated that 52,000 Malaysians suffer stroke annually. In 2005, 3245 cases of stroke were fatal. It is projected that the number of fatal stoke cases will exceed 25,000 in 2020. It was found that at

Aim The aim of this pilot randomized study is to verify whether the addition of vitamin E alpha-tocopherol to the blood-side layer of a synthetic polysulfone dialyser membrane has a clinical advantage in terms of ESA responsiveness and, consequently, the anemic status of hemodialysed

OBJECTIVES: Primary - To determine whether vitamin E every other day reduces the risk of developing prostate cancer in older healthy male physicians. - To determine whether daily vitamin C and/or a multivitamin reduces the risk of total cancer in these participants. - To determine whether vitamin E

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Westernized populations. Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) appears to be a crucial step in atherogenesis. Thus, the role of dietary micronutrients in decreasing LDL oxidation assumes considerable significance. The

BACKGROUND: A finding from the Cholesterol Lowering Atherosclerosis Study (CLAS), a clinical trial, indicated that common carotid intima-media thickness responded more rapidly and more markedly to LDL-C lowering treatment than angiographic coronary stenosis or carotid roughness. New data from a
