No, Omega 3-Enriched Beef Is Not Necessarily Heart Healthy
Feeding cattle flaxseed or marine algae can raise the omega-3 fatty acid levels in ground beef from 30 milligrams per serving to 200 milligrams per serving, as Kansas State University researchers have found. But do higher levels of omega-3s make red meat significantly healthier?   Not according to Kim Larson, a registered dietitian nutritionist and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The attempt to make beef look like an important source of omega-3s is essentially a marketing ploy, she said. And despite the fatty acid's reputation as a health ...

Cardiovascular involvement in inflammatory bowel disease: Dangerous liaisons.
Abstract Increasing evidence of a link between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and adverse cardiovascular events has emerged during the last decade. In 2014, an important number of meta-analyses and cohort studies clarified the subtle dangerous liaisons between gut inflammation and cardiovascular pathology. The evidence suggests that patients with IBD have a significantly increased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular mortality, especially during periods of IBD activity. Some populations (e.g., women, young patients) may have an even greater risk. Current effective treatment of IBD is aimed a...

Risk of Stroke in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Observational studies, to date, have provided inconsistent findings on whether inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of stroke. We therefore performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the association of IBD and its specific subtypes with risk of stroke.

Inflammatory bowel disease and risk of stroke: A meta-analysis of cohort studies
Stroke is a sudden onset of cerebral blood circulation disorders, it is the second leading cause of death as well as the major cause of disability worldwide [1]. On average, every 40seconds, someone has a stroke and someone dies of one approximately every 4minutes in the United States [1,2], which places a considerable burden on the society. Therefore, the identification of primary prevention and new therapeutic approaches for stroke is crucial and should be a key public health priority.

Mortality and comorbidities in patients with multiple sclerosis compared with a population without multiple sclerosis: An observational study using the US department of defense administrative claims database
Conclusions Rates of mortality and several comorbidities are higher in the MS versus non-MS cohort. Early recognition and management of comorbidities may reduce premature mortality and improve quality of life in patients with MS.

Epigenetic Aspects of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Abstract Autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune hepatitis, and inflammatory bowel disease have complex pathogeneses and the courses of events leading to these diseases are not well understood. The immune surveillance is a delicate balance between self and foreign as well as between tolerance and immune response. Exposure to certain environmental factors may impair this equilibrium, leading to autoimmune diseases, cancer, and the so-called “lifestyle diseases” such as atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke, and obesity, among others. T...

Hacking The Nervous System
(Photo: © Job Boot) One nerve connects your vital organs, sensing and shaping your health. If we learn to control it, the future of medicine will be electric.When Maria Vrind, a former gymnast from Volendam in the Netherlands, found that the only way she could put her socks on in the morning was to lie on her back with her feet in the air, she had to accept that things had reached a crisis point. “I had become so stiff I couldn’t stand up,” she says. “It was a great shock because I’m such an active person.”It was 1993. Vrind was in her late 40s and working two jobs, athletics coach and a carer for disabled ...

Transient Neurologic Deficit Presenting with Cortical Vein Thrombosis Caused by Intracranial Hypotension: Case Report (P1.028)
CONCLUSION We hypothesized that intracranial hypotension led to venous engorgement (based on the Monroe-Kelli doctrine) and the subsequent cortical vein thrombosis, which then produced vasogenic edema, cortical irritability, and focal seizure that mimicked ischemic stroke. Based on our findings, clinicians should consider intracranial hypotension in patients presenting with dural sinus or cortical vein thrombosis, and orthostatic headache or imaging findings of dural enhancement.Disclosure: Dr. Plancher has nothing to disclose.

Thromboembolic complications in inflammatory bowel disease
Abstract Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a 1.5–3.5-fold higher risk of thromboembolism when compared to the non-IBD population and the risk is much more prominent at the time of a flare. Arterial thromboembolism (ischemic stroke, focal white matter ischemia, cardiac ischemia, peripheral vascular disease and mesenteric ischemia) and venous thromboembolism (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, retinal, hepatic, portal and mesenteric vein thromboses) belong to the group of underestimated extraintestinal complications in IBD patients, which are associate...

Recurrent posterior strokes in inflammatory bowel disease patients.
Conclusion. The association between IBD and posterior strokes is a novel finding. Factor VIII elevation may serve as a biomarker of a peristroke hypercoagulable state in patients with IBD. PMID: 25784930 [PubMed]

The Toll-like Receptor Radical Cycle pathway: a new drug target in immune-related chronic fatigue.
Abstract In this review we discuss that peripheral and central activation of the Toll-like receptor 2/4 (TLR2/4) Radical Cycle may underpin the pathophysiology of immune-related chronic fatigue secondary to other medical diseases and conditions. The TLR Radical Cycle plays a role in illnesses and conditions that are disproportionately commonly comorbid with secondary chronic fatigue, including a) neuroinflammatory disorders, e.g. Parkinson's disease, stroke, depression, psychological stressors, and b) systemic disorders, e.g. (auto)immune disorders, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ankylosing spondylitis, ch...

The One Food Nutritionists Eat Every Single Day
By Sarah-Jane Bedwell, SELF While registered dietitians certainly recommend balance, variety, and moderation to ensure you get all the necessary nutrients that you need, they have "personal superfoods" that they reach for on a regular basis for both nutrition and convenience purposes. From turmeric smoothies to chocolate and peanut butter combos, dietitians around the country share the foods they eat every single day. Citrus Fruit I eat some form of vitamin C and potassium packed citrus each day because the delightfully refreshing flavors are a great reminder that good nutrition should taste great! It might be a 6 ounce...
