Chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH) are extra-axial fluid collections in the cranium that can result in brain compression and neurological decline. cSDH commonly occurs after traumatic brain injury (TBI); though, many times there is no history of trauma. The incidence of cSDH is expected to
A dietary intervention trial will be conducted with the use of three different diets in order to compare the effects of these diets on the gut microbiota composition, on endogenous butyrate production and on the general symptoms in Behçet's patients.
The study will be a randomized, open trial
Recently, a direct link between intestinal microbiota, dietary phosphatidylcholine, and promotion of cardiovascular disease has been elegantly demonstrated. In this study, broad spectrum antibiotics were employed to disrupt the intestinal microbiota, and metabolomic analysis identified 3 metabolites
Because of the rapid aging of the global population, dementia has become a serious problem, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. Population studies have shown that dietary fats influence risk and progression of age-related diseases including AD, diabetes and
Clinical burden of CVD: CVD is the leading cause of death in developed nations and the VA population is no exception. Despite decades of research, technical, and pharmacological advances, CVD remains a major public health problem. This is partly due to our impaired ability to identify subjects at
Gestational diabetes (GDM) is one of the earliest signs for increased risk of developing CVD. In addition to this independent association, GDM increases CVD risk through type 2 diabetes. The physiological basis for his disease progression is not yet fully understood. Increasing evidence exists on
Introduction: Among the 4 sulphur-containing amino acids (SAA), only Met and Cys are incorporated into proteins, but Hcy and Tau are related to oxidative stress and glutathione (GSH), the major intracellular hydro-soluble anti-oxidant agent. HIV+ patients present low levels of antioxidant nutrients,
The patients who were non-obese (BMI<30kg/m2), non dyslipidemic (total cholesterol <200mg/dl, Triglyceride<150mg/dl), and free of cardiovascular events (negative medical history, negative ECG findings) were investigated for enrollment. CKD stage 1 patients older than 18 years of age and willing to
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
Study Rationale:
The metabolic effects of hormonal contraceptives differ when administered by oral or systemic routes. The oral route magnifies the hepatic production of hormone sensitive proteins including lipoproteins, clotting factors and inflammatory proteins such as CRP. These effects are due
BACKGROUND:
The present study was preceded by the earlier San Antonio Heart Study 1 supported under this grant. The San Antonio Heart Study 1 was a population-based survey of diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors in Mexican American and non-Hispanic whites conducted from 1979 to 1982.
