Obesity, adiposopathy, and quantitative imaging biomarkers
Radiol Bras. 2017 Mai/Jun;50(3):VII–VIII Obesity is a metabolic disease with increasing incidence at a global level. The prevalence of obesity doubled between 1980 and 2014, now corresponding to more than half a billion obese people worldwide. The World Health Organization estimates that more than a third of adults over 18 years of age are now overweight. Obesity plays an important role in the ...
متن کامل[Imaging biomarkers, quantitative imaging, and bioengineering].
Imaging biomarkers define objective characteristics extracted from medical images that are related to normal biological processes, diseases, or the response to treatment. To develop an imaging biomarker, it is necessary to carry out a series of steps to validate its relation with the reality studied and to check its clinical and technical validity. This process includes defining tests for the c...
متن کاملBiomarkers, Obesity, and Cardiovascular Diseases
Obesity and overweight are among the major health problems in the world today. The excessive accumulation of fat in adipose tissue is accompanied by low‐grade inflamma‐ tion, adipokine secretion dysregulation, oxidative stress, and an alteration of the secretion of gut hormones and food intake related to peptides. This is related to the development of cardiovascular diseases, which have been in...
متن کاملAdiposopathy, “Sick Fat,” Ockham’s Razor, and Resolution of the Obesity Paradox
Among lean populations, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is rare. Among those with increased adiposity, CVD is the commonest cause of worldwide death. The "obesity paradox" describes seemingly contrary relationships between body fat and health/ill-health. Multiple obesity paradoxes exist, and include the anatomic obesity paradox, physiologic obesity paradox, demographic obesity paradox, therapeutic...
متن کاملImaging Biomarkers or Biomarker Imaging?
Since biomarker imaging is traditionally understood as imaging of molecular probes, we highly recommend to avoid any confusion with the previously defined term "imaging biomarkers" and, therefore, only use "molecular probe imaging (MPI)" in that context. Molecular probes (MPs) comprise all kinds of molecules administered to an organism which inherently carry a signalling moiety. This review hig...
