Association between nutrition and the evolution of multimorbidity: The importance of fruits and vegetables and whole grain products
Summary: Background & aims: Multimorbidity is a common health status. The impact of nutrition on the development of multimorbidity remains to be determined. The aim of this study is to determine the association between foods, macronutrients and micronutrients and the evolution of multimorbidity.Methods: Data from 1020 Chinese who participated in the Jiangsu longitudinal Nutrition Study (JIN) were collected in 2002 (baseline) and 2007 (follow-up). Three-day weighted food records and status for 11 chronic diseases was determined using biomedical measures (hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and anemia) or self-repor...

Cardiovascular effects of current and future anti-obesity drugs.
Abstract The prevalence of obesity increases and is associated with increases in co-morbidities e.g. type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, heart disease, stroke, asthma, several forms of cancer, depression, and may result in reduction of expected remaining lifespan. We have reviewed the adverse effects on the cardiovascular system of anti-obesity drugs now retracted from the market as well as the cardiovascular profile of current drugs and potential pathways which are considered for treatment of obesity. Fenfluramine, and sibutramine were withdrawn due to increased cardiovascular ...

Pulsus Paradoxus: Cardiovascular Function and Assessment
Cardiovascular Assessment: Pulsus Paradoxus Assessing cardiac function, blood pressure and hemodynamic status play an important role during our overall patient assessment and treatment. Although 12 lead ECG evaluation is an essential part of patient assessment, especially cardiac etiology, understanding basic cardiac function plays a major role during treatment and overall patient status. During normal hemodynamic conditions, during inspiration, adequate cardiac, vascular function and adequate blood volume, certain changes in blood pressure occur. Keep in mind, when we measure blood pressure, we are assessing arterial pr...

Pulsus Paradoxus: Cardiac Function and Assessment
PULSUS PARADOXUS PATHOPHYSIOLOGY In normal hemodynamic conditions, during inspiration, adequate cardiac, vascular function and adequate blood volume, certain changes in blood pressure occur. Keep in mind, when we measure blood pressure, we are assessing arterial pressures, not venous. • Normally during inspiration, Cardiac Output (CO) decreases slightly, since the Left Ventricle (LV) does not have the adequate amount of space to expand for full capacity preload •This drop in blood pressure is normally < 10mmHg •The heart rate also increases, as a compensatory mechanism, in an attempt to maintain normal Oxygen Del...

Agent Orange exposure and disease prevalence in Korean Vietnam veterans: The Korean veterans health study.
In conclusion, Agent Orange exposure increased the prevalence of endocrine disorders, especially in the thyroid and pituitary gland; various neurologic diseases; COPD; and liver cirrhosis. Overall, this study suggests that Agent Orange/2,4-D/TCDD exposure several decades earlier may increase morbidity from various diseases, some of which have rarely been explored in previous epidemiologic studies.

Phase-contrast MRI for Detection of Mild Systemic Hemodynamic Response after Segmental Allergen Challenge in Asthmatic Patients
Conclusions: In asthmatic patients, MRI-derived hemodynamic parameters using phase-contrast MRI are slightly altered after segmental allergen provocation compared to normal controls indicating a mild systemic reaction to local allergen challenge.

Diurnal and Twenty-Four-Hour Patterning of Human Diseases: Cardiac, Vascular, and Respiratory Diseases, Conditions, and Syndromes
Various medical conditions, disorders, and syndromes exhibit predictable-in-time diurnal and 24-hour patterning in the signs, symptoms, and grave nonfatal and fatal events, e.g., respiratory ones of viral and allergic rhinorrhea, reversible (asthma) and non-reversible (bronchitis and emphysema) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, high altitude pulmonary edema, and decompression sickness; cardiac ones of atrial premature beats and tachycardia, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, 3rd degree atrial-ventricular block, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular premature beats, ventricular tachyarrhyth...

An adapted adult day centre for older adults with sensory impairment
The MAB-Mackay Rehabilitation Centre runs a Day Centre Programme whose objectives are to maintain or improve the seniors’ biological, psychological, and social health while delaying or avoiding institutionalization. Activities include walking groups, language courses, and memory games, supervised by an interdisciplinary team. Services include rehabilitation follow-up and referrals to community resources. The present study reports on the impact of the Day Centre on the holistic health of older adults with visual impairment. Between September 2011 and October 2012, 30 newly referred clients (age = 71–98 years, M ...

Environmental chemicals mediated the effect of old housing on adult health problems: US NHANES, 2009-2010.
Abstract Housing conditions affect occupants continuously, and health interventions have shown a positive association between housing investment or improvement and occupant's health. However, the sources of the housing problems were less understood. Since it was observed that lead dust and chloroanisoles released from housing (materials) as indoor pollutants affected child's health, we now aimed to examine the relationships among built year, environmental chemicals and individual health in adults in a national and population-based setting. Data were retrieved from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination S...

Prevalence and risk factors of dry eye disease in a British female cohort.
CONCLUSIONS: DED is common and increases with age within this cohort of female twins. We confirmed established risk factors for the first time in a British population, and found important risk factors that might relate to an underlying aetiology involving chronic pain predisposition or somatisation.

Health Insurance and Chronic Conditions in Low-Income Urban Whites
This study uses cross-sectional data on 491 low-income urban non-elderly non-Hispanic whites from the Exploring Health Disparities in Integrated Communities—Southwest Baltimore (EHDIC-SWB) study to examine the relationship between insurance status and chronic conditions (defined as participant report of ever being told by a doctor they had hypertension, diabetes, stroke, heart attack, anxiety or depression, asthma or emphysema, or cancer). In this sample, 45.8 % were uninsured, 28.3 % were publicly insured, and 25.9 % had private insurance. Insured participants had similar odds of having any chronic condition (odds ra...
