Beyond Cholesterol - New Cardiovascular Biomarkers.
Authors: Mangge H Abstract Atherosclerosis (AS) is the primary pathological result of obesity. Vulnerable AS plaques cause fatal clinical end points such as myocardial infarction and stroke. To prevent this, improvements in early diagnosis and treatment are essential. Because vulnerable AS plaques are frequently nonstenotic, they are preclinically undetectable using conventional imaging. Levels of blood lipids, C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6 are increased, but are insufficient to indicate the process of critical perpetuation before the end points present. More specific biomarkers (e.g. troponin, copetin, nat...

At UCLA, it's medicine 2.0
Tucked deep in the basement of UCLA’s Center for the Health Sciences is a room that looks more like an inventor’s fantasy workshop than the medical research facility it is. Tables are piled high with tools, electronics, prototype equipment parts and a few stray robotic arms. Posters on the wall describe pending projects in dense technical language with accompanying photos of futuristic devices. This hidden space is where scientists are working at the very forefront of technological advances in medicine. Its assemblage of smarts, parts and computers is contributing to an emerging era of personalized, tech-enabled health...

Noncaloric Benefits of Carbohydrates.
Authors: Reddy BR Abstract Noncaloric benefits of carbohydrates are due to the presence of dietary fibers, which are a heterogeneous group of natural food sources and form an important component of a healthy diet. They differ in physiochemical properties such as solubility, fermentability and viscosity. They have a wide range of physiological effects resulting in gastrointestinal and systemic benefits. These include appetite, satiety, bowel transit time and function, production of short-chain fatty acids and certain vitamins, and effects on gut microbiota, immunity and inflammation, as well as mineral absorption. T...

Docosahexaenoic acid and its derivative neuroprotectin D1 display neuroprotective properties in the retina, brain and central nervous system.
Authors: Bazan NG, Calandria JM, Gordon WC Abstract The significance of the selective enrichment in omega-3 essential fatty acids (docosahexaenoyl - DHA - chains of membrane phospholipids, 22C and 6 double bonds) in the nervous system (e.g. synaptic membranes and dendrites) has remained, until recently, incompletely understood. While studying mechanisms of neuronal survival, we contributed to the discovery of a docosanoid synthesized by 15-lipoxygenase-1 from DHA, which we dubbed neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1;10R,17S-dihydroxy-docosa-4Z,7Z,11E,13E,15E,19Z hexaenoic acid). NPD1 is a docosanoid because it is derived from a...

Non-cancer effects: science and values aspects of protection decisions
The Nuclear Energy Agency organised its third workshop on ‘Science and values in radiological protection’ in November 2012 in Tokyo. One of the issues addressed, non-cancer effects, had also been addressed in the first two science and values workshops (Helsinki, Finland, 2008; Vaux-de-Cernay, France, 2009), but presented several new elements of relevance to International Commission on Radiological Protection discussions of the evolution of the system of radiological protection. Radiological protection science, both epidemiological and biological, now suggests that stroke and heart disease may well be caused by ...

Health Coaching for Secondary Prevention in TIA Clinic (P5.148)
Conclusions: Structured health coaching for improving medication adherence of secondary stroke prevention medications can be a feasible in a community based outpatient setting for high cardiovascular risk patients. We will be implementing this care pathway in 2015 at Virginia Mason in Seattle, WA to evaluate the feasibility of the intervention, and assess adoption rate by patients and providers. This is supported by NIH UL1 TR001085.Disclosure: Dr. Tai has nothing to disclose. Dr. Carter has nothing to disclose. Dr. Conley has nothing to disclose. Dr. Kalanithi has nothing to disclose.

Traumatic Brain Injury Imaging Research Roadmap RESEARCH PERSPECTIVES
SUMMARY: The past decade has seen impressive advances in the types of neuroimaging information that can be acquired in patients with traumatic brain injury. However, despite this increase in information, understanding of the contribution of this information to prognostic accuracy and treatment pathways for patients is limited. Available techniques often allow us to infer the presence of microscopic changes indicative of alterations in physiology and function in brain tissue. However, because histologic confirmation is typically lacking, conclusions reached by using these techniques remain solely inferential in almost all c...

Development of a computerised decision aid for thrombolysis in acute stroke care
Conclusions: Our structured development process led to the development of a gamma prototype computerised decision aid. Initial evaluation has demonstrated reasonable acceptability of COMPASS amongst patients, relatives and clinicians. The impact of COMPASS on clinical outcomes requires wider prospective evaluation in clinical settings.

How to Get Over Abandonment -- a Fast Track
When something triggers our primal abandonment pain -- like a breakup, getting fired or rejected by school admissions, or dissed by a friend -- it can be so ferocious and debilitating that we'd do almost anything to get past it. Some people have been know to fly across country to attend an abandonment workshop, arriving haggard, jet lagged, and desperate to wrest themselves from abandonment's death grip as fast as possible. Although the magic bullet they are hoping for does not exist, abandonment workshops, both peer or professionally led, accelerate forward movement, in part by providing people the opportunity to shar...
