Sasang type is an independent factor for heat capacity

The Sasang Constitution as an Independent Risk Factor for Metabolic Syndrome: Propensity Matching Analysis

THE SASANG CONSTITUTIONAL MEDICINE IS A TRADITIONAL KOREAN CUSTOMIZED MEDICINE THAT CLASSIFIES PEOPLE INTO FOUR TYPES: Tae-eumin (TE), Soyangin (SY), Soeumin (SE), and Taeyangin. The aim of this study was to show whether the Sasang Constitution (SC) could be an independent risk factor for the metabolic syndrome (MS). Totally, 3,334 subjects from 24 Korean medicine clinics participated in this s...

Heat shock factor 5 is essential for spermatogenesis in mice: Detected by a new monoclonal antibody

Objective(s): Here, we examined the function of our produced monoclonal antibody (mAb10C3) to recognize one of the most important members of the HEAT shock factor family, Hsf5, in embryonic development and in spermatogenic cells of adult mouse testis.Materials and Methods: The targeting effects of mAb10C3 were investigated by immunohisto...

Human T Lymphotropic Virus Type I (HTLV-I) is a Risk Factor for Coronary Artery Disease

Overweight Is an Independent Risk Factor for Reduced Lung Volumes in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1.

BACKGROUND In this large observational study population of 105 myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) patients, we investigate whether bodyweight is a contributor of total lung capacity (TLC) independent of the impaired inspiratory muscle strength. METHODS Body composition was assessed using the combination of body mass index (BMI) and fat-free mass index. Pulmonary function tests and respiratory mu...

Is corneal thickness an independent risk factor for glaucoma?

c p t n i e a d m C i d The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS) showed that central corneal thickness (CCT) was a significant predictor of which patients with ocular hypertension are at higher risk for converting to glaucoma. Eyes with CCT of 555 m or less had a 3-fold greater risk of developing glaucoma compared with eyes that had CCT of more than 588 m. In a multivariable model includi...
