Major Depression and Long-Term Outcomes of Acute Kidney Injury
This study determines the prognostic implication of a diagnosis of depression on renal recovery and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a new diagnosis of myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disease (CVD, stroke or transient ischemic attack) or congestive heart failure (CHF) after hospitalization with AKI.Methods: The study population comprises adults admitted to the University of Virginia Medical Center between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2012 who suffered AKI during admission. Long-term outcomes, MACE and all-cause mortality, were compared between 2 groups; patients with preexisting diagnosis of major dep...

Special Interest Groups —Updates in Psychosomatics (SIG-UPs): Alcohol Use Disorders in Women
Although low to moderate alcohol use has been shown to yield cardiovascular benefit, heavy alcohol intake has been associated with many adverse effects, including increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke, alcoholic liver disease, pancreatitis, as well as overall morbidity and mortality. Recent studies show a clear sex difference; women have an increased risk for all-cause mortality with moderate to heavy alcohol use.1 Worldwide statistics indicate that 45% of women consume alcohol,1 stressing the need for careful screening and dual diagnosis treatment to decrease use and improve overall health outcomes.

Arterial ligation versus embolization in epistaxis management: Counterintuitive national trends
ConclusionCompared to embolization, ligation is associated with significantly decreased hospital charges and shorter hospital stay, without an increase in complication rates. Counterintuitively, ligation appears to be trending downward nationally in its use relative to embolization.

A machine learning approach to measure and monitor physical activity in children
Publication date: 8 March 2017 Source:Neurocomputing, Volume 228 Author(s): Paul Fergus, Abir J. Hussain, John Hearty, Stuart Fairclough, Lynne Boddy, Kelly Mackintosh, Gareth Stratton, Nicky Ridgers, Dhiya Al-Jumeily, Ahmed J. Aljaaf, Jenet Lunn The growing trend of obesity and overweight worldwide has reached epidemic proportions with one third of the global population now considered obese. This is having a significant medical impact on children and adults who are at risk of developing osteoarthritis, coronary heart disease and stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancers, respiratory problems, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease...

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: Study of clinical characteristics in an Indian population.
Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary form of kidney disease. Clinical data on this multisystem disorder are scarce from developing countries. We conducted a prospective observational study of the clinical profile of ADPKD patients at a single center over a period of six years. A total of 208 patients were studied. Majority were male (60.6%) and the mean age was 45.8 ± 14.5 years. About 61.5% had early stage (Stages 1-3) of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and 38.5% had advanced CKD (Stages 4 and 5). Clinical features observed included pain abdomen (46.2%), noctur...

What Are Endoscopic Bariatric Therapies?
The high prevalence of overweight and obesity in the United States negatively affects the health of the population. Obesity increases the risk of various diseases, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary heart disease, sleep apnea, stroke, gatroesophageal reflux disease, gall bladder disease, certain types of malignancy, and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases.1,2 Reducing obesity in the United States has become a public health priority.1,2 Current approaches to therapeutic weight loss include dietary approaches, lifestyle intervention, pharmacology, and surgery.

Pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and its cardiometabolic consequences.
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by recurrent partial or complete pharyngeal collapses during sleep. The pathophysiology of OSAS is complex and multifactorial. Factors influencing upper airway patency include a reduction in upper airway dimensions that can result from both anatomical and functional alterations (obesity, fluid shift or maxillo-facial structural changes), and increased pharyngeal collapsibility owing to reduced neuromuscular compensation and lack of the pharyngeal protective reflex during sleep. Severe OSAS is associated with a high cardiometabolic risk. Obstructive...

Substance found in red wine 'helps fight ageing'
Conclusion
Resveratrol has been of interest to anti-ageing scientists for many years and researchers have previously shown it may be linked to a slowing of the decline in thinking and movement, at least in rodents. This study suggests a possible way this might happen.
But the results don't tell us anything about what happens in humans. They suggest this substance may be useful for further research in humans at some point. They certainly don't provide a reason to drink gallons of red wine, in the hope of seeing an anti-ageing effect.
Drinking too much alcohol is a sure-fire way to speed up deterioration of thinking skills,...

Deep sea water improves hypercholesterolemia and hepatic lipid accumulation through the regulation of hepatic lipid metabolic gene expression.
Authors: Lee KS, Chun SY, Kwon YS, Kim S, Nam KS
Abstract
A high‑fat diet or high‑cholesterol diet (HCD) is a major cause of metabolic diseases, including obesity and diabetes; vascular diseases, including hypertension, stroke and arteriosclerosis; and liver diseases, including hepatic steatosis and cirrhosis. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of deep sea water (DSW) on rats fed a HCD. DSW decreased HCD‑induced increases in total cholesterol and low‑density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood, and recovered high‑density lipoprotein cholesterol. In addition, DSW decreased levels of liv...

Is the Hepatic Factor a miRNA that maintains the integrity of pulmonary microvasculature by inhibiting the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor?
Authors: Vettukattil JJ
Abstract
The "hepatic factor," a molecule or group of molecules present in the hepatic venous blood, essential for the prevention of the development of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) and right-to-left shunting has been a conceptual enigma in the understanding of many related conditions. Patients with various forms of liver diseases including acute hepatic failure, and others with normal hepatic function like hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), inflammatory and parasitic disorders, cardiogenic hepatopulmonary syndrome (cHPS) and skin disorders like Dyskeratosis congeni...
