Association Between #Beverage Intake and Incidence of Gastroesophageal #Reflux Symptoms
..Patients are frequently advised to eliminate coffee, tea, and/or soda to reduce symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux (GER), such as heartburn or regurgitation. ..After multivariable adjustment, hazard ratios (HRs) for women with the highest intake of each beverage (more than 6 servings/day) compared to women with the lowest intake (0 servings/day) were 1.34 for coffee (95%… Continue reading Association Between #Beverage Intake and Incidence of Gastroesophageal #Reflux Symptoms
The relationship between #social media use and disordered #eating in young adolescents
The relationship between social media (SM) use and disordered eating (DE) has not been adequately explored in young adolescents ..DE behaviors were reported by 51.7% of girls and 45.0% of boys, with strict exercise and meal skipping the most common. A total of 75.4% of girls and 69.9% of boys had at least one SM… Continue reading The relationship between #social media use and disordered #eating in young adolescents
Prediction model for #pneumonia in primary care patients with an acute respiratory tract infection: role of symptoms, signs, and biomarkers
Diagnosing pneumonia can be challenging in general practice but is essential to distinguish from other respiratory tract infections because of treatment choice and outcome prediction.. ..Two hundred forty-nine patients were included of whom 30 (12%) displayed a consolidation on chest X ray. Absence of runny nose and whether or not a patient felt ill were… Continue reading Prediction model for #pneumonia in primary care patients with an acute respiratory tract infection: role of symptoms, signs, and biomarkers
Application of non-HDL #cholesterol for population-based cardiovascular risk stratification: results from the Multinational #Cardiovascular Risk Consortium
Incidence curve analyses showed progressively higher 30-year cardiovascular disease event-rates for increasing non-HDL cholesterol categories (from 7·7% for non-HDL cholesterol <2·6 mmol/L to 33·7% for ≥5·7 mmol/L in women and from 12·8% to 43·6% in men; p<0·0001). Multivariable adjusted Cox models with non-HDL cholesterol lower than 2·6 mmol/L as reference showed an increase in the… Continue reading Application of non-HDL #cholesterol for population-based cardiovascular risk stratification: results from the Multinational #Cardiovascular Risk Consortium
Improved #oral hygiene care is associated with decreased risk of occurrence for atrial #fibrillation and heart #failure: A nationwide population-based cohort study
Poor oral hygiene can provoke transient bacteremia and systemic inflammation, a mediator of atrial fibrillation and heart failure.. .. In multivariate analysis after adjusting age, sex, socioeconomic status, regular exercise, alcohol consumption, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, current smoking, renal disease, history of cancer, systolic blood pressure, blood and urine laboratory findings, frequent tooth… Continue reading Improved #oral hygiene care is associated with decreased risk of occurrence for atrial #fibrillation and heart #failure: A nationwide population-based cohort study
Prevalence of #Prediabetes Among #Adolescents and Young Adults in the United States, 2005-2016
.. Impaired fasting glucose was defined as fasting plasma glucose of 100 mg/dL to less than 126 mg/dL, IGT as 2-hour plasma glucose of 140 mg/dL to less than 200 mg/dL, and increased HbA1c level as HbA1c level between 5.7% and 6.4%. The prevalence of IFG, isolated IFG, IGT, isolated IGT, increased HbA1c level, isolated… Continue reading Prevalence of #Prediabetes Among #Adolescents and Young Adults in the United States, 2005-2016
Effectiveness of a Brief Self-determination Theory–Based Smoking Cessation Intervention for Smokers at Emergency Departments in Hong Kong
Clinicians have an opportunity to provide #smoking cessation interventions to smokers who present to emergency departments (EDs). The effectiveness of a brief intervention based on self-determination theory for smoking cessation is uncertain. ..The intervention group received brief advice (about 1 minute) and could choose their own quit schedules (immediate or progressive) ..Compared with the control… Continue reading Effectiveness of a Brief Self-determination Theory–Based Smoking Cessation Intervention for Smokers at Emergency Departments in Hong Kong
Diagnosis of Pulmonary #Embolism with d-#Dimer Adjusted to Clinical Probability
Retrospective analyses suggest that pulmonary embolism is ruled out by a d-dimer level of less than 1000 ng per milliliter in patients with a low clinical pretest probability (C-PTP) and by a d-dimer level of less than 500 ng per milliliter in patients with a moderate C-PTP ..We performed a prospective study in which pulmonary… Continue reading Diagnosis of Pulmonary #Embolism with d-#Dimer Adjusted to Clinical Probability
