More Research Is Needed on Lifestyle Behaviors That Influence Progression of Parkinson's Disease
This article highlights some of these challenges in the design of lifestyle studies in PD, and suggests a more coordinated international effort is required, including ongoing longitudinal observational studies. In combination with pharmaceutical treatments, healthy lifestyle behaviors may slow the progression of PD, empower patients, and reduce disease burden. For optimal care of people with PD, it is important to close this gap in current knowledge and discover whether such associations exist. Introduction Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related complex progressive neurodegenerative disorder, with key p...

Association of traditional complementary and alternate medicine usage with quality of life of diabetic patients in a Malaysian tertiary hospital
This study aims to design to assess the traditional, complementary and alternate medicine (TCAM) usage and its association with the quality of life (QOL) of Type 2 diabetic patients in a tertiary hospital (Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia) in Malaysia. A total of 300 respondents included in this study were divided into the following two major categories: TCAM (34.33% of respondents) and non-TCAM users (65.67% of the respondents), respectively. The mean ages of the respondents were 59.3 ± 10.2 for the TCAM users and 57.7 ± 12.0 for the non-TCAM users. A greater percentage of non-TCAM users reported poor co...

Picking up the Cause of the Stroke
A 62-year-old man with poorly controlled diabetes was transferred to a tertiary care center from a community hospital for persistent abdominal pain and the inability to tolerate oral feedings. Before transfer, the patient underwent peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement for IV pain medications, IV fluids, and parenteral nutrition. An entry chest radiograph showed the PICC was located in a persistent left-sided superior vena cava. The tertiary physicians assumed the PICC was safe to use, and the patient began receiving nutrition and fluids through the line.

Whatever it takes: Fighting for Michael
Michael stood at the top of the hill, staring down at the glittering white snow. The prospect of skiing to the bottom was scary — on previous trips, he’d refused to try, worried that he would fall. But this time was different. He was ready to take a chance. Attempting to balance without using poles, he pushed himself forward and glided through the powder as his family cheered him on. By the end of the day, the 8-year-old had sailed down the slopes five times, all by himself. The accomplishment was even more meaningful for his parents, Bill and Lisa Smith, who have watched him fight to survive — and thrive — since h...

Changes in nutritional state and dysphagia in stroke patients monitored during a 14-d period in a Burkina Faso hospital setting
Neurologic pathologic conditions are the most likely to be associated with dysphagia [1]. Within this category, cerebrovascular accidents (strokes) carry the highest possibility of this association [2], with one-third to two-thirds of patients affected [3,4]. In developed countries, this issue has led to basic studies and to dysphagia care [5 –7]. In practice, nutritional problems are a major care challenge because dysphagia increases the risk of undernourishment [8], which can lead to complications (infections, decreased quality of life, increased mortality) [9–11].

Association between serum cholesterol levels and Alzheimer's disease in China: a case-control study.
Authors: Chen H, Du Y, Liu S, Ge B, Ji Y, Huang G Abstract To examine the association between blood cholesterol concentrations and Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the Chinese elderly. A case-control study was implemented between November 2011 and November 2017. Elderly patients aged ≥ 55 years with (n = 117) and without AD (control participants; n = 117) were recruited from the Neurology Central Hospital of Tianjin, China. The associations between AD and blood parameters were assessed using multiple binary logistic regression analyses adjusted for multiple covariates. Higher serum total cholesterol (TC) a...

Poor Sleep Linked To Dangerous Plaque Buildup In Arteries
By Sandee LaMotte, CNN (CNN) — Here’s another reason why getting a good night’s sleep should be on your must-do list: Sleeping fewer than six hours a night or waking frequently raises your risk of developing damaging plaque in arteries throughout your body, not just your heart. Previous research has shown poor sleep to be strongly associated with coronary heart disease, but “This is the first study to show that objectively measured sleep is independently associated with atherosclerosis throughout the body,” José Ordovás, director of nutrition and genomics at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutriti...

Mitochondrial A3243G mutation causes mitochondrial encephalomyopathy in a Chinese patient: Case report
Rationale: Mitochondrial mutations are associated with a wide spectrum of clinical abnormalities. More than half of these mutations are distributed in the 22 mitochondrial tRNA genes, including tRNALeu(UUR). In particular, the A3243G mutation in the tRNALeu(UUR) gene causes mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. Patient concerns: A 12-year-old boy was admitted to Shaoxing People's Hospital because there is a reduction in the volume of speech, dysphonia, unable to write, recognize words, and unable to wear clothes, accompanied by unstable walking after treatment of unexplained fever and somnolence. Diagnoses: The proband ...
