Vasovagal syncope triggered by recent moderate weight loss?
CONCLUSIONS: Some patients have onset of VVS within a few months of weight loss resulting in earlier presentation to clinic. The physiological mechanism for this is uncertain.PMID:35834829

The Truth About Fasting and Type 2 Diabetes
Most fad diets don’t live up to the hype, let alone serious scientific scrutiny. But intermittent fasting seems to be an exception. These plans involve going without caloric foods or drinks for an extended period of time—anywhere from 16 hours to several days—and they have become increasingly popular. Research has also found them to be effective for weight loss.
Doctors often advise people with Type 2 diabetes to lose weight, which can have beneficial effects on blood glucose and insulin sensitivity, as well as on the progression of the disease. For this and other reasons, experts are actively looking at ...

Obesity paradox and cardiovascular diseases
Curr Cardiol Rev. 2022 May 14. doi: 10.2174/1573403X18666220514150051. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present review summaries data describing the relationship between obesity and cardiovascular outcomes. Links between obesity and chronic coronary syndromes, acute coronary syndromes, coronary revascularization, ischemic stroke, heart failure, hypertension and atrial fibrillation were evaluated. Data from epidemiological studies, prospective studies with lifestyle modification or medical therapy, and results of the meta-analysis were evaluated. The majority of publications report the presence of an 'obesity paradox'. Acc...

What the Science Says About the Health Benefits of Vitamins and Supplements
From multivitamins and melatonin to fiber and fish oil, Americans who are trying to boost their health and immunity have a plethora of supplements to choose from. An estimated 58% of U.S. adults ages 20 and over take dietary supplements, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the supplement industry is valued at more than $30 billion a year. Supplement use has been growing rapidly over the past few decades along with the wellness industry.
“The popular belief is that a supplement is going to be helpful for promoting health,” says Fang Fang Zhang, a professor at Tufts University&rs...

Guhong Injection Prevents Ischemic Stroke-Induced Neuro-Inflammation and Neuron Loss Through Regulation of C5ar1
In this study, the neuroprotective effect of Guhong injection (GHI) on middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)-induced reperfusion injury was assessed and the mechanism was explored by RNA-seq technology. GHI administered for 6 consecutive days significantly decreased body weight loss, infarction rate, neurological deficient scores, and neuron loss but improved rat survival percentage and regional cerebral blood flow after MCAO surgery. Furthermore, we identified inflammation as a vital process and C5AR1 as a vital target in GHI-mediated protection by using RNA-seq analysis. Further experiments confirmed that GHI decreased...

The effect of obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, alcohol, and sleep apnea on the risk of atrial fibrillation
Physiol Res. 2021 Dec 30;70(Suppl4):S511-S525.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia associated with a two-fold increase in mortality caused by a higher risk of stroke and heart failure. Currently, AF is present in ~ 2 % of the general population, and its incidence and prevalence are increasing. Obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea, and alcohol consumption increase the risk of AF. Each unit of increase in BMI increases the risk of AF by 3 %, and intensive weight loss is also associated with reduced AF recurrence. Hypertension increases the risk of AF by...

Validity of the Controlling Nutritional Status score as a Nutritional Assessment Tool early after stroke
This study investigated the prognostic role of malnutrition, as assessed by the CONUT scoring system. We hypothesized that malnutrition negatively affects outcomes as expressed by Functional Independence Measure (FIM) motor or Berg Balance Scale (BBS) change in stroke patients. This was a retrospective cohort study involving 117 individuals including first-time subacute stroke inpatients from March 2017 to February 2020. All participants were evaluated with BBS and FIM. We used multiple linear regression analysis with backward stepwise selection to examine the association between CONUT and changes during rehabilitation. Af...

Prevalence of Complications Associated with Diabetes among Pakistani Patients: A Questionnaire-Based Survey
CONCLUSION: All age groups showed diabetes-associated complications and different abnormal body conditions. However, the age groups ranging from thirty to eighty years showed more complications. The most prevalent complications reported were retinopathy, nephropathy, diabetic wounds on the foot, slow wound healing, seizures, hypertension, neuropathy, skin infections, cardiovascular disorders, liver damage and stroke in both types of diabetic patients. Our survey may aid in pointing out the most prevalent diabetic complications prevailing in our population so that effective treatment options could be developed to reduce the...
