the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an 8 week period of aerobic interval training and massage therapy on changes in c-reactive protein (crp) level and cardiorespiratory fitness in cardiovascular patients after coronary artery bypass graft. the study population consisted of patients who had undergone a coronary artery bypass graft and at least one month had passed since t...

cerebrovascular accidents rank first in the frequency and importance among all neurological disease. although a number of studies had shown increased level of the high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) in patients with ischemic stroke, the association of increased hs-crp with various type of stroke especially the assessment hs-crp level in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke have not been inves...

introduction: elevated levels of crp are present among patients at risk for further first-ever myocardial infarction and stroke. it has been shown that after ischemic stroke, increased levels of crp are associated with unfavorable outcomes. methods: from 120 patients admitted to the emergency unit of our hospital with the diagnosis of stroke crp, d-dimer and ferritin level was measured and the ...

the present study aimed to evaluate the distributions of high-sensitivity c-reactive protein, tc-hdl ratio and 10-year risk of cardiovascular diseases among iranian adult population. we conducted a cross-sectional study on a total of 2125 adults aged 25 to 65. data of the third national surveillance of risk factors of non-communicable diseases (surfncd-2007) was used. anthropometric indices, bl...

abstract       background and objective: high-intensity interval training (hiit) is a recently proposed exercise protocol, which is time-effective. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hiit for 8 weeks on the lipid profile, c-reactive protein (crp), fasting blood sugar (fbs) and anthropometric parameters of young women who do not exercise.      methods: in this study, 20 young ph...

scleroderma is a multisystem autoimmune connective tissue disease, cliaracterized by hardening of the skin. hv had 25 patients in the iranian pediatric unit of rheumatology over 10 years. there was female predominance if.m = 4/1, 80% female, 20% male). the age of onest was from 6 months to 16 years, the mean age being 10 years. the symptoms and signs were: nonpitting edema in 16%, liard skin in...

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a phylogenetically highly conserved plasma protein, with homologs in vertebrates and many invertebrates, that participates in the systemic response to inflammation. Its plasma concentration increases during inflammatory states, a characteristic that has long been employed for clinical purposes. CRP is a pattern recognition molecule, binding to specific molecular conf...
