Academy of Plant-based Physical Therapy: overdue to address a nutrition crisis with a transformative population approach
J Phys Ther Sci. 2023 Sep;35(9):645-658. doi: 10.1589/jpts.35.645. Epub 2023 Sep 2.ABSTRACTThis timely evidence synthesis supports the need for an Academy of Plant-based Physical Therapy. Given epidemiological and empirical evidence and the profession's values and practice scope, the time has come for a specialty of plant-based physical therapy based on population health principles. This review connects these factors. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are largely nutrition-related resulting from unnatural elements of our diet (i.e., heart disease, several cancers, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, obesity, gastrointestinal di...

Fast Heartburn Relief Without Deadly Drugs
Since gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was first identified in the early 1930s, the number of people experiencing heartburn has increased substantially.
In fact, one study shows that in just 10 years, the number of people experiencing:1
Any GERD symptoms increased by 30%
Symptoms at least once a week increased by 47%
Severe GERD increased by 24%
While these numbers are concerning, I’ll admit they’re not surprising considering the typical American diet.
Our nutrition-less, grain-based diet of carbohydrates and starches has wrecked our health and made our bodies behave in ways nature never intended.
This has led ...

Ultra-processed food raises risk of heart attack and stroke, two studies show
Research presented to annual meeting of European Society of Cardiology prompts calls for actionUltra-processed food significantly raises the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attacks and strokes, according to two studies that one expert says should serve as a wake-up call for governments worldwide.Global consumption of heavily processed items such as cereals, protein bars, fizzy drinks, ready meals and fast food has soared in recent years. In the UK and US, well over half the average diet now consists of ultra-processed food (UPF). For some, especially people who are younger, poorer or from disadvantaged ar...

Chronic comorbid conditions and asthma exacerbation occurrence in a general population sample
In conclusion, several chronic comorbid conditions were associated with asthma exacerbation occurrence, which confirms but also complements previous studies. Our observations contribute to understanding exacerbation risk estimation and, ultimately, personalized asthma management.PMID:37567896 | DOI:10.1038/s41533-023-00350-x

Higher systemic immune-inflammation index and systemic inflammation response index levels are associated with stroke prevalence in the asthmatic population: a cross-sectional analysis of the NHANES 1999-2018
ConclusionIn asthmatics, higher levels of SII and SIRI significantly increased the prevalence of stroke, with its association being more pronounced in individuals with coexisting obesity and hyperlipidaemia. SII and SIRI are relatively stable novel inflammatory markers in the asthmatic population, with SIRI having a better predictive value for stroke prevalence than SII.

7 Myths About Cholesterol, Debunked
You may not recall every lab value from your last physical, but you probably remember one: Your cholesterol level.
If it’s higher than ideal, you’re not alone. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 2015 and 2018, almost 12% of U.S. adults ages 20 and up had high total cholesterol, defined as above 240 mg/dL. The type that physicians mostly worry about is LDL (or “bad”) cholesterol, which is one component of that total.
Why do doctors care so much about cholesterol? First, “it predicts risk,” says Dr. Jeffrey Berger, a cardiologist and director of the C...

Energy and protein restriction should be avoided in most overweight older patients
In their recent original article, “Muscle Assessment in Stroke Study (MASS)”, Gungor et al. aimed to evaluate the degree of muscle loss during acute stroke and determine factors contributing to this loss [1]. They included 107 acute dysphagic ischemic stroke patients (median age:74) admitted to neuro-intensive care units and ev aluated muscle cross sectional area (CSMA) on days 1 and 14 of admission via computed tomography at mid-humerus, mid-thigh, and third lumbar vertebra levels. They calculated the change in CSMA and variables associated with this change.

Risk of stroke following antivenom use after venomous snakebite: correspondence
We read with great interest the epidemiological study by Hunget al.1 on the risk of stroke with antivenom use after venomous snakebite in Taiwan. According to the national medical claims data, the authors provide us with useful information and disclose that venomous snakebite is associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke after the use of antivenom after using the matching propensity score in relevant measurable covariates. We strongly agree with the comments by Yehet al.2 on the unmeasured confounders associated with stroke in the present study. Furthermore, we are concerned that other residual confounders rel...

Prevalence And Association With Outcomes Of The Espen And Easo-Defined Diagnostic Criteria For Sarcopenic Obesity In Patients Undergoing Rehabilitation After Stroke
Rationale: Sarcopenic obesity, characterized by the coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity, is of growing research and clinical interest; however, validated diagnostic criteria are lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of sarcopenic obesity, as diagnosed by the criteria recently proposed by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) and the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO), and its association with outcomes among patients undergoing rehabilitation after stroke.
