BACKGROUND Circulatory diseases (CD) are the major cause of death in Brazil, being cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) predominant. In developed countries ischemic heart diseases (IHD) predominate. OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to investigate the ratio between cerebrovascular diseases/ischemic heart diseases (CVD/IHD) in males and females who were 30 years of age and older. ME...

OBJECTIVE There have been suggestions that currently recommended waist circumference (WC) cut-off points for Australians of European origin may not be applicable to Aboriginal people who have different body habitus profiles. We aimed to generate equivalent WC values that correspond to body mass index (BMI) points for identifying absolute cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks. DESIGN Prospective ...

Recent developments of catalytic CVD generation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by using alcohol as the carbon source are discussed. High-purity SWNTs can be generated at relatively low CVD temperatures from metal catalytic particles supported on zeolite [1, 2] (Fig. 1) or directly dispersed on flat substrates such as meso-porous silica [3], quartz and silicon [4, 5, 6]. Fig. 1 (a) is...

Multicomponent crystallization is a method that can modify the physicochemical properties of Carvedilol (CVD), thereby increasing its solubility. Based on in silico screening coformers (Benzoic Acid, Isonicotinamide, and Saccharin) showed non-covalent interactions with CVD, so multicomponent crystal preparation CVD by solvent evaporation used these mole ratios 1:1, 1:2, 2:1. CVD:Isonicotinamide...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and loss of disability-adjusted life years in developed countries. This study derived a dietary pattern using an a priori method and additionally derived dietary patterns using a posteriori methods, and assessed the relationship with CVD risk factors in Taiwanese middle-aged and elderly adults. METHODS Cross-sec...

By testing for conditional dependence, algorithms can generate directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), which may help inform variable selection when building models for statistical risk prediction or for assessing causal influence. Here, we demonstrate how the method may help us understand the relationship between variables commonly used to predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The sample included...

Purpose: Individuals with schizophrenia have a vastly reduced lifespan compared with the general population; comorbid cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for them. Furthermore, these individuals are more likely to have metabolic syndrome-related disorders (MSDs), which increase CVD risk. We examined the medical records of long-term inpatients with schizophrenia to identif...

Abstract Introduction: The use of medicinal plants (MP) is increasing among the general population and patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Simultaneous use of MP and cardiac medications can cause drug interactions and serious complications. Objective: This study aimed to determine the frequency of MP use and its related factors among patients with CVD. Materials and Methods: This c...
