The causes of ALS remain largely unknown more than 140 years after the disease was first described. The overall aims of this thesis were to describe t...
متن کاملVitamin D intake and risk of incident hypertension: results from three large prospective cohort studies.
Emerging evidence suggests an inverse relation between vitamin D and blood pressure. We examined the independent association between intake of vitamin D and the risk of incident hypertension among participants of 3 large and independent prospective cohorts: Nurses Health Study I (NHS I; n=77,436), NHS II (n=93,803), and Health Professionals' Follow-up Study (HPFS; n=38,074). Relative risks and ...
متن کاملAdvances in treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: insights from pathophysiological studies.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most frequently occurring of the neuromuscular degenerative disorders, with a median survival time of 3-5 years. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying ALS are multifactorial, with a complex interaction between genetic factors and molecular pathways. To date 16 genes and loci have been associated with ALS, with mutations in DNA/RNA-regulating gen...
