Coronavirus disease (COVID-2019) is a devastating viral illness that originated in Wuhan China in late 2019. The number of confirmed cases worldwide has nearly reached 2 million and more than 125,000 people have died. Early studies from Wuhan reported a mortality rate of 2-3% with lower rates in
Aggressive muscle wasting occurs early in critical illness, and is associated with a greater number of days on a ventilator, increased length of intensive care unit (ICU) and/or hospital stay, and subsequent functional impairment which may last years. Hospital care costs, and ongoing costs of
Dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids, bioactive micronutrients that increase the bioavailability of nitric oxide as well as decrease the rate in which nitric oxide is removed from the body. Through increasing the bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) to bodily tissues, the tissues are better able to
The purpose of this study is to see if a high fat, low carbohydrate diet is safe and how it effects post trial diet habits, physique, and disease course in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. In particular, multiple sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition associated with significant adverse health outcomes. An estimated 25% of men and 10% of women will have OSA during their lifetime. OSA is associated with an increased prevalence of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes and, with severe degrees of
Pancreas is an important retroperitoneal organ with exocrine and endocrine functions. Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most lethal diseases among all cancer types. It moved from the fourth to the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States and is anticipated to become the
The dysfunction of wound healing in diabetes involves multiple healing processes by diminished inflammatory responses and delayed deposition of matrix components, wound remodeling, and closure. Furthermore, hyperglycemia increases the infection susceptibility of wounds. The wounds noted at distal
This randomized crossover study will examine substrate metabolic responses to ingesting supplemental carbohydrate during steady-state aerobic-type exercise at sea level (SL) and following acute (~5 h) exposure to HA (4,300 m) conditions in 10 healthy, recreationally active adults between the ages of
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common solid cancers worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer-related death. Early stage HCC can be cured by surgical removal or non-surgical ablation procedures, albeit a high recurrence rate up to 75% in 5 years remains an unsolved problem.
Introduction and rationale:
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most lethal and therapeutically resistant malignancies, with a grim prognosis that is attributed to the late clinical presentation and the relative chemoresistance of the disease.
Even with identical chemotherapy regimens, some
A randomized, double-blind cross-over exercise trial was conducted with 14 runners on Utah State University campus. This population of 14 runners was selected from a larger population of 20 that was recruited to complete two initial trials. In two preliminary visits, the parameters necessary for
Nowadays, more and more attention are paid to system biology and its relative techniques, such as gene sequencing,nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry and so on. As a newly developed subject, metabolomics can detect accurately and quantitatively small molecule metabolites such as proteins,
The risk of bone loss in response to immobilization and space flight is widely recognized, with such bone losses occurring predominantly in the legs. Loading forces in the lower extremities are typically low in space and during bed rest, but musculoskeletal loading countermeasures can prevent or
A loss of body weight has been documented in lowland-living individuals when exposed to hypoxic environments, such as at high altitudes, or under laboratory conditions. This weight loss has been attributed both to a reduced appetite (and subsequent fall in dietary energy intake), and to an increase
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
