Can This Breakfast Food Reverse Alzheimer ’ s?
I’m sure you’ve noticed how expensive eggs have gotten lately. The price has soared more than any other food in the supermarket…up 60% from one year ago.1 One reason for skyrocketing prices is the ongoing avian flu epidemic. But another reason is that demand for “nature’s perfect food” has increased substantially. And that is good news because eggs are essential for your health – including the fight against Alzheimer’s. And that means they’re worth every penny for the way they protect your brain. Two breakthrough studies back up what I’ve been telling my patients for over three decades… That ...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 4129: Comparison of Cost-Effectiveness between Inpatient and Home-Based Post-Acute Care Models for Stroke Rehabilitation in Taiwan
Willy Chou Stroke rehabilitation focuses on alleviating post-stroke disability. Post-acute care (PAC) offers an intensive rehabilitative program as transitional care following acute stroke. A novel home-based PAC program has been initiated in Taiwan since 2019. Our study aimed to compare the current inpatient PAC model with a novel home-based PAC model in cost-effectiveness and functional recovery for stroke patients in Taiwan. One hundred ninety-seven stroke patients eligible for the PAC program were divided into two different health interventional groups. One received rehabilitation during hospitalization, and the o...

‘Salty’ Concern: Tackling High Salt Consumption in China
Veena S. Kulkarni, Associate Professor, Department of Criminology, Sociology and Geography, Arkansas State University, USA; and Raghav Gaiha, (Hon.) Professorial Research Fellow, Global Development Institute, University of Manchester, England.By Veena S. Kulkarni and Raghav GaihaNEW DELHI, India and JONESBORO, US, Oct 7 2019 (IPS) China’s almost meteoric transition from a being a low income to a middle income country within a span of four decades is often perceived as a miracle analogous to the post Second World War Japanese economic development experience. China’s GDP rose from $200 current United States dollars (US$ ...

Probiotics improve gut microbiota dysbiosis in obese mice fed a high-fat or high-sucrose diet
The prevalence of obesity has been dramatically increasing globally over decades [1]. Obesity is caused by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors, and is also suggested to be the result of a long-term imbalance between energy intake and expenditure [2]. Calorie-rich foods that are high in fat or carbohydrates combining with sedentary lifestyles are the most common factors underlying the global obesity epidemic [3]. High-fat diets (HFD) increase adipose tissue and induce metabolic and cardiovascular disorders (such as atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and hypertension [4, 5]), especially in those...

Randomized controlled trial examining the effect of creatine and maltodextrin on functional level in stroke rehabilitation
Rationale: Stroke patients may suffer from palsy, which leads to an increased energy expenditure when moving the paretic limb. Stroke patients experience fatigue at a low level of physical activity. Fatigue is associated with reduced glycogen storage and thereby a decreased production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Muscle glycogen and creatine phosphate are the major substrates.

Influence of selective cerebral hypothermia on resting energy expenditure in patients in acute period of ischemic stroke
Rationale: Therapeutic hypothermia has a universally recognized neuroprotective potential, but clinical trials around the world are continuing to prove efficacy. To optimize nutritional support for patients with ischemic stroke who undergo selective cerebral hypothermia with systemic normothermia (SCH), we began the study.

“Autologous White Blood Cell Infusion for Trauma, Brain Trauma, Stroke and select Immune Dysfunction Co-morbidities : A Promising and Timely Proposal ?”
All traumas suppress the immune system, resulting in higher morbidity and mortality. Infections, poor nutritional status, chronic illness, fatigue, therapies or procedures performed during and after transport also negatively affect the immune system. Large populations are impacted by trauma worldwide and suffer enormous costs in both direct and indirect expenditures from physical, psychological and functional losses. Most therapies and studies of trauma, brain trauma, stroke, immune suppression and their co-morbidities do not address nor discuss methods that promote immune system resuscitation or efficacy to support its ro...

Magnolol promotes thermogenesis and attenuates oxidative stress in 3T3-L1 adipocytes
Obesity incidence is increasing worldwide at an alarming pace and has become a major threat to public health [1]. Indeed, obesity facilitates the development of hypertension, diabetes, stroke, osteoarthritis, and cancer [2,3]. It is well accepted that obesity results from an imbalance between energy expenditure and energy consumption, which causes excess energy storage in the form of lipids in white adipose tissue (WAT). Methods that either increase energy expenditure or reduce energy consumption are potential antiobesity strategies [4].

Case Study: Physical Capacity and Nutritional Status Before and After a Single-Handed Yacht Race.
Abstract During solitary sailing the sailor is exposed to sleep deprivation and difficulties in consuming regular meals. Sailor weight loss is often reported. In the present case study we describe changes in the physical capacity and the nutritional status of an athlete attempting a single-handed yacht race around the globe. An Italian male ocean racer (GM) asked for our help to reach an optimum level of physical and nutritional preparation. We planned his diet after assessing his anthropometric parameters and body composition as well as his usual energy intake and nutritional expenditure. The diet consisted in 12...
