McConnell ’ s Bid to Downplay Freezes Undermined by History of Politicians Lying About Their Health
After Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell froze during a press conference this month, the Kentucky Republican’s second such episode this summer, his office released a note from the Capitol physician intended to calm those worried about his ability to continue at his job. Dr. Brian Monahan told McConnell in the letter that there was “no evidence that you have a seizure disorder or that you experienced a stroke, TIA or movement disorder such as Parkinson’s disease.” Monahan suggested the episodes may be related to the Leader’s concussion in March or to dehydration.  [time-brightcove n...

The world pandemic of Vitamin D deficit could possibly be explained by cellular inflammatory response activity induced by the renin angiotensin system.
Abstract This review attempts to show that there may be a relationship between inflammatory processes induced by chronic overstimulation of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) and the worldwide vitamin D (VitD) deficiency, and probably both disorders are associated with environmental factors. Low VitD levels represent a risk factor for several apparently different diseases such as infectious, autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and cardiovascular diseases, as well as diabetes, osteoporosis, and cancer. Moreover, VitD insufficiency seems to predispose hypertension, metabolic syndrome, left ventricular hypertrophy, heart ...

Socioeconomic variation in the financial consequences of ill health for older people with chronic diseases: A systematic review
Abstract: Chronic disease has financial consequences for older adults, but it is unclear how this varies between conditions with different disease trajectories. The aim of this study was to review evidence on the financial burden associated with cancer, heart failure or stroke in older people, to identify those most at risk of financial adversity. We systematically searched nine databases for studies with data on the illness-related financial burden (objective), or on the perception of financial hardship (subjective), of older patients and/or their informal caregivers in high-income countries. We identified thirty-eight pa...

UCLA Nursing research on women and heart disease among key topics at nursing conference
New findings on the role gender plays in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heart disease will be among the research topics highlighted by faculty members and students from the UCLA School of Nursing at the annual Western Institute of Nursing Conference, which runs from April 11 to 13 in Anaheim, Calif.   At a special state-of-the-science panel on Saturday, April 13, UCLA professor Lynn V. Doering will present a review of gender differences in identification, treatment and outcomes for cardiovascular disease, with a focus on coronary atherosclerosis, heart failure and stroke. During the same panel, UCLA profes...

No evidence that the price of fame is an early death
Conclusion Given our obsession with celebrity lifestyles, it’s perhaps not surprising that this study has attracted so much interest. It seems to support popular beliefs about the cost of fame in terms of drug addiction and high-risk behaviours such as smoking, drinking and drug abuse. However, as the lead author – Professor Epstein, from the School of Medicine, University of Queensland – conceded, a one-off analysis of obituaries published in a specific newspaper, with no comparison group, proves very little. Examining another random sample of 1,000 deaths of high-profile people, or the general population, from the...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Abstract The global prevalence of physiologically defined chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults aged >40 yr is approximately 9-10 per cent. Recently, the Indian Study on Epidemiology of Asthma, Respiratory Symptoms and Chronic Bronchitis in Adults had shown that the overall prevalence of chronic bronchitis in adults >35 yr is 3.49 per cent. The development of COPD is multifactorial and the risk factors of COPD include genetic and environmental factors. Pathological changes in COPD are observed in central airways, small airways and alveolar space. The proposed pathogenesis of COPD includes pr...

Quantitative Detection of Nitroxyl Upon Trapping with Glutathione and Labeling with a Specific Fluorogenic Reagent.
Abstract Donors of nitroxyl (HNO) have shown promise for treatment of stroke, heart failure, alcoholism and cancer. However, comparing the pharmacological capacities of various donors is difficult without first quantifying the amount of HNO released from each donor. Detection and quantitation of HNO has been complicated by the rapid self-consumption of HNO through irreversible dimerization, poor selectivity of trapping agents against other nitrogen oxides, and/or low sensitivity towards HNO. Here, an assay is described for the trapping of HNO by glutathione (GSH) followed by labeling of GSH with the fluorogenic ag...

Emotions and Breast Cancer: Expressing, Coping,...
A diagnosis of breast cancer is a great shock. Women report that they fear breast cancer more than heart disease, even though they have a better chance of surviving breast cancer, and dying of stroke or heart failure. Read about some normal emotions that you may experience at diagnosis and during treatment, and ways to cope.

Obesity paradox in peripheral vascular disease
To prevent cardiovascular diseases, it is essential to control risk factors, among which obesity is a world-wide issue that we are currently facing . Obesity was found to be an independent cardiovascular risk factor by the Framingham Heart study, in which the participants were followed up over 26 years; a higher risk was observed in both men and women whose body weights increased after the young adult years . It has been shown that obesity, particularly visceral obesity, is closely related not only to classical cardiovascular risk factors such as dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension, but also to insulin resistance, abn...

Arterial thrombotic events and acute coronary syndromes with cancer drugs: Are growth factors the missed link? What both cardiologist and oncologist should know about novel angiogenesis inhibitors
Abstract: We aimed to revise the increasingly accruing data about the association between anti-tyrosinkinase, “targeted” cancer drugs and the development of arterial thrombotic events or acute coronary syndromes. Further insights into the involved pathophysiologic mechanisms, and into the clinical implications are overviewed.Antiangiogenesis has become a mainstream of cancer therapy, leading to development of a specific class of drugs. Besides, a “wider” angiogenesis network made up of several growth factors, can be recognized as target of a higher number of compounds. Their widespread use has been progressively fa...
