Our aim was to analyze and compare the effects of three different long-term treatments on anthropometric profiles, eating behaviors, anxiety and depression levels, and quality of life of groups of adults with obesity. Methods: The 43 participants in the study were randomly assigned to one of three groups: the education and health group (EH, n… Continue reading #Cognitive Behavioral Approach to Treat #Obesity: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Association Between Mortality and Levels of Autonomous #Cortisol Secretion by Adrenal #Incidentalomas
Autonomous cortisol secretion in patients with adrenal incidentalomas is associated with increased mortality, but detailed information about the risk associated with specific levels of autonomous cortisol secretion is not available. Objective:To measure the association between mortality and levels of autonomous cortisol secretion in patients with adrenal incidentalomas. Design:Retrospective cohort study. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03919734) Setting:Two hospitals in… Continue reading Association Between Mortality and Levels of Autonomous #Cortisol Secretion by Adrenal #Incidentalomas
The Effects of Chronic Exposure to Ambient #Traffic-Related Air #Pollution on #Alzheimer’s Disease Phenotypes in Wildtype and Genetically Predisposed Male and Female Rats
Epidemiological data link traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) to increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Preclinical data corroborating this association are largely from studies of male animals exposed acutely or subchronically to high levels of isolated fractions of TRAP. What remains unclear is whether chronic exposure to ambient TRAP modifies AD risk and the influence of… Continue reading The Effects of Chronic Exposure to Ambient #Traffic-Related Air #Pollution on #Alzheimer’s Disease Phenotypes in Wildtype and Genetically Predisposed Male and Female Rats
#Fat-Secreted Ceramides Regulate Vascular Redox State and Influence Outcomes in Patients With #Cardiovascular Disease
Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular risk; however, the potential role of dysregulations in the adipose tissue (AT) metabolome is unknown. ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to explore the role of dysregulation in the AT metabolome on vascular redox signaling and cardiovascular outcomes. MethodsA screen was conducted for metabolites differentially secreted by thoracic AT… Continue reading #Fat-Secreted Ceramides Regulate Vascular Redox State and Influence Outcomes in Patients With #Cardiovascular Disease
Effects of #music participation for mild #cognitive impairment and #dementia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
To examine randomized controlled trials with active music-making interventions, in which older adults with probable mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia physically participate in music, and their effects on cognitive functioning, emotional well-being, and social engagement. Participating in music-making is engaging and has shown diverse benefits. Additionally, this review categorized the music activities of each… Continue reading Effects of #music participation for mild #cognitive impairment and #dementia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Nasal High-flow €Oxygen Versus Conventional Oxygen Therapy for Acute Severe #Asthma Patients: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Nasal high flow (NHF) has demonstrated efficacy in relieving dyspnea in various patients with hypoxemic and hypercapnic respiratory failure. It may also reduce dyspnea in patients with acute severe asthma in the emergency department (ED). The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of NHF with conventional oxygen therapy (COT) in improving dyspnea… Continue reading Nasal High-flow €Oxygen Versus Conventional Oxygen Therapy for Acute Severe #Asthma Patients: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
The Effects of Aerobic #Exercise on Serum Biomarkers of Neuroplasticity and Brain Repair in #Stroke: A Systematic Review
To provide a novel overview of the literature and to summarise the evidence for the effects of aerobic exercise (AE) on serum biomarkers neuroplasticity and brain repair in stroke survivors. Data SourceWe conducted a systematic review and searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane CENTRAL using terms related to AE, neuroplasticity, brain repair, and stroke. Study SelectionTitles,… Continue reading The Effects of Aerobic #Exercise on Serum Biomarkers of Neuroplasticity and Brain Repair in #Stroke: A Systematic Review
Nongenetic Determinants of Risk for Early-Onset #Colorectal Cancer
Incidence of early-onset (younger than 50 years of age) colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing in many countries. Thus, elucidating the role of traditional CRC risk factors in early-onset CRC is a high priority. We sought to determine whether risk factors associated with late-onset CRC were also linked to early-onset CRC and whether association patterns differed by… Continue reading Nongenetic Determinants of Risk for Early-Onset #Colorectal Cancer
Indices of #Diet Quality and Risk of Lung #Cancer in the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study
Prospective evidence on associations between diet quality indices and lung cancer risk is limited, particularly among older women. ObjectivesWe investigated associations between 4 diet quality indices [Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015), Alternate Healthy Eating Index 2010 (AHEI-2010), alternate Mediterranean Diet (aMED), and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)] and lung cancer incidence and mortality in the… Continue reading Indices of #Diet Quality and Risk of Lung #Cancer in the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study
