Prevalence of hs-CRP among Indians with hypertension
Bioinformation. 2022 Oct 31;18(10):1041-1043. doi: 10.6026/973206300181041. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTThe prevalence of hypertension in the early twentieth century varied in India, ranging from 2-15% in Urban India and 2-8% in Rural India. In the inter heart and inter stroke study, hypertension accounted for 17.9% and 34.6% of population attributable risk for coronary artery disease and stroke respectively. CRP appears in serum in response to a variety of inflammatory stimuli .Raised level of hs-CRP is seen with increasing with age, during an infection, inflammation, coronary artery diseases, obesity, sepsis, smoking and va...

Associations between Greenness, Impervious Surface Area, and Nighttime Lights on Biomarkers of Vascular Aging in Chennai, India
Conclusion: Greenness, ISA, and NTL were associated with increased SBP, DBP, and cPP, and with reduced FMD, suggesting a possible additional EVA pathway for the relationship between urbanization and increased CVD prevalence in urban India. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP541 Received: 20 May 2016 Revised: 03 January 2017 Accepted: 23 January 2017 Published: 02 August 2017 Address correspondence to K.J.

Association between Exposure to p,p ′-DDT and Its Metabolite p,p′-DDE with Obesity: Integrated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: We classified p,p′-DDT and p,p′-DDE as “presumed” to be obesogenic for humans, based on a moderate level of primary human evidence, a moderate level of primary in vivo evidence, and a moderate level of supporting evidence from in vivo and in vitro studies. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP527 Received: 17 May 2016 Revised: 04 May 2017 Accepted: 09 May 2017 Published: 18 September 2017 Please address correspondence to M.A. La Merrill, Dept. of Environmental Toxicology, University of California, Davis, 1 Shields Ave., 4245 Meyer Hall, Davis, CA 95616-5270 USA.

Abstract P201: Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in Hypertensive Patients Session Title: Onsite Poster Competition I With Reception
This study was done to find out the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among newly diagnosed hypertensive patients in a tertiary care hospital of northern India, Guru Nanak Dev hospital, attached to Government Medical College, Amritsar, India.Methods: It is a hospital based cross sectional study involving one hundred newly diagnosed subjects with hypertension above the age 20 years. High blood pressure was defined according to Joint National committe-7 (JNC-7) guidelines, taking systolic BP> 140 and diastolic BP>90 as hypertension. Exclusion criteria included secondary hypertension, secondary cause of obesity, pregnancy, acu...

Epidemiology of a Rare Event
Retinal emboli are rare, with a prevalence in most of the relatively few studies on the subject, to my knowledge, of approximately 1 in 100 adults and an even smaller annual incidence. The study by Cheung et al in the present issue ofJAMA Ophthalmology involves the multiethnic population of Singapore and found that retinal emboli were present in only 88 of 9978 individuals who had retinal photographs (0.9%). This randomly selected sample of adults aged 40 to 80 years comprised, in almost equal numbers, of members of the 3 major ethnic groups residing in Singapore: Chinese, Malay, and Indian. Cheung et al provided data rele...

Association of chronic disease prevalence and quality of life with suicide-related ideation and suicide attempt among Korean adults.
CONCLUSION: SI was positively associated with selected CDP, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, ischemic heart disease (IHD), cancer, diabetes, renal failure, and depression, except hypertension. Subjects with CVD, IHD, renal failure, and depression were found likely to have increased odds for SA as compared to non-SA controls. Lower QoL strongly affected SI and SA. Furthermore, the likelihood of SI increased for depressed and cancer subjects who had low QoL in comparison to subjects with high QoL and without chronic disease. Similarly, statistically, significant interaction was observed between lower QoL and dep...

A study of clinical, radiological and etiological profile of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis at a tertiary care center
Conclusion CVST is an important yet under recognized cause of intracranial hypertension and stroke in young. Clinical presentation is extremely varied and a high index of suspicion is needed. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain with Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) is the current diagnostic modality of choice. Elevated factor VIII and puerperium are the common etiologies in an Indian population. Management with anticoagulants is safe and has excellent clinical outcomes.

Sacubitril/Valsartan: A Novel Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitor
Conclusion Effective reduction of blood pressure to accepted goals is the key to reduce the risk of CV events and stroke. Dual inhibition of neprilysin and the angiotensin receptor with sacubitril/valsartan may represent an attractive and serendipitous therapeutic approach for a range of CV diseases, including hypertension and HF, in which vasoconstriction, volume overload and neuro-hormonal activation play a part in pathophysiology. Sacubitril/Valsartan appears to be more efficacious in reducing blood pressure than currently available ACEi and ARBs with a similar safety and tolerability profile. Besides, pleiotropic benef...
