This year marks the 20th anniversary of the publica­ tion showing the blood pressure–lowering effects of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet.1 The DASH diet is considered an important ad­ vance in nutritional science. It emphasizes foods rich in protein, fiber, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, such as fruits and vegetables, beans, nuts, whole grains, and low-fat dairy. It ...

DASH (Drosophila, Arabidopsis, Synechocystis, Human)-type cryptochromes (cry-DASH) belong to a family of flavoproteins acting as repair enzymes for UV-B-induced DNA lesions (photolyases) or as UV-A/blue light photoreceptors (cryptochromes). They are present in plants, bacteria, various vertebrates, and fungi and were originally considered as sensory photoreceptors because of their incapability ...

BACKGROUND The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model of the consequences of disease identifies three health outcomes, impairment, activity limitations and participation restrictions. However, few orthopaedic health outcome measures were developed with reference to the ICF. This study examined the ability of a valid and frequently used measure of upper li...

Endothelial dysfunction has been recognized as a pathophysiologic mechanism in the progression of heart failure (HF). However, little attention has been given to the ability of dietary approaches to improve endothelial function. This study examined the effects of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet on endothelial function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients w...

BACKGROUND Long-term functional outcomes of supracondylar elbow fractures (SCEF) have not been well documented in the literature. We retrospectively evaluated functional outcomes of pediatric SCEF using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of patients who presented to our tertiary care pediatric emergency departm...

We have developed an illustrated questionnaire, the Hand20, comprising 20 short and easy-to-understand questions to assess disorders of the upper limb. We have examined the usefulness of this questionnaire by comparing reliability, validity, responsiveness and the level of missing data with those of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire. A series of 431 patients wi...

Evidence on the associations of dietary patterns with cognition in children is limited. Therefore, we investigated the associations of the Baltic Sea Diet Score (BSDS) and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) score with cognition in children. The present cross-sectional study sample included 428 children aged 6-8 years (216 boys and 212 girls). The BSDS and the DASH score were cal...

The syntheses and structures of copper(i) chalcogenone complexes are described. The homoleptic mononuclear copper(i) complexes [(IPr[double bond, length as m-dash]E)2Cu]ClO4, IPr[double bond, length as m-dash]E, 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazoline-2-thione (1) and 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazoline-2-selone (2); [(IMes[double bond, length as m-dash]E)2Cu]ClO4, IMes[double bond, len...

This paper examines the protocol structure of ATSC 3.0, next-generation terrestrial broad-casting standard, and explains in-depth technology Real-Time Object Delivery over Unidirectional Transport (ROUTE) MPEG Dynamic Adaptive Streaming HTTP (DASH). Specifically, it considers both low service signaling methodologies ROUTE/DASH, that enable immersive media, stereoscopic 3D, 360 virtual reality (...
