Metabolic Syndrome as a Risk Factor for Osteoarthritis
Metabolic syndrome refers to a set of conditions that include high blood pressure, increased insulin level in the blood, the accumulation of the excess fat around the abdomen, and increased blood lipids. In metabolic syndrome, the vast majority of these conditions are simultaneously present, and the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, and diabetes rises. Besides, osteoarthritis or degen...
متن کاملIs atrial fibrillation a risk factor for normal-tension glaucoma?
Glaucoma (GL) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are diseases of significant social importance. Cardiovascular disorders such as systemic hypertension, hypotension, increased blood viscosity, vasospasm, and diabetes are potential risk factors of GL, especially when intraocular pressure is not elevated. Only a few studies have reported a possible connection between cardiac arrhythmias and GL. The purp...
متن کاملLow nocturnal ocular perfusion pressure as a risk factor for normal tension glaucoma.
OBJECTIVES In the absence of raised intraocular pressure (IOP), haemodynamic parameters have been implicated in the development of normal tension glaucoma (NTG). The purpose of this study is to compare 24-hour IOP and haemodynamic parameters in NTG patients and non-glaucoma patients. METHODS This is a cross sectional study involving 72 NTG patients from University of Malaya Medical Centre eye...
متن کاملIs normal-tension glaucoma a risk factor for stroke?—A 10-year follow-up study
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) have a higher incidence of stroke. DESIGN A population-based retrospective cohort study based on data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2010. METHODS Data were retrospectively collected from the NHIRD. A total of 245 (20.1%) patients with a hi...
متن کاملCircadian fluctuation of mean ocular perfusion pressure is a consistent risk factor for normal-tension glaucoma.
PURPOSE To investigate systemic and ocular hemodynamic risk factors for glaucomatous damage in eyes with normal tension glaucoma (NTG). METHODS Each patient with diagnosed NTG underwent 24-hour monitoring of intraocular pressure (IOP) and blood pressure (BP), scanning laser polarimetry (GDx-VCC), and a Humphrey visual field (HVF) examination. Multivariate regression models were used to evalua...
