The fat embolism syndrome (FES) has been considered a diagnostic enigma since it was first described a century ago. It has continued to beach allenging diagnosis to secured espite many technologic advances. The difficulty with which to diagnose FES stems from the fact that it can complicate an array of clinical presentation with a variable severity of illness. Although simple fat embolism may b...

background: metabolic syndrome (ms) is defined as a pattern of metabolic disorders including central obesity, insulin resistance or hyperglycemia, high blood pressure, and dyslipidemia. many studies show a clear relationship between diet and components of ms. the aim of the current study was to identify barriers to adherence to dietary recommendations among iranian ms patients. methods: the the...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether, in accordance with observations in mouse models, high concentrations of the lipoprotein lipase inhibitors apolipoprotein (Apo) CI and ApoCIII are associated with increased triglyceride concentrations and decreased fat mass in men with the metabolic syndrome. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Plasma ApoCI, ApoCIII, and triglyceride concentrations were measured in the ...

background: stroke is one of the leading causes of death and certainly the major cause of disability in the world. diet and nutrient has an effective role in prevention and control of the risk of stroke. the aim of this study was to review the studies on the relationship between dietary intake and stroke incidence. methods: in this study, the terms of “fat”, “cholesterol”, “antioxidant”, “vitam...

The insulin resistance syndrome X is related to excess intra-abdominal adipose tissue. With lipectomy of >50% of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SQAT) in nonhibernating, adult female Syrian hamsters on high-fat (HF; 50 calorie%) diet and measurements of oral glucose tolerance, oral [(14)C]oleic acid disposal, serum triglycerides, serum leptin, liver fat, perirenal (PR) adipose tissue cellularity, ...

Fifty-five adults who had sustained a tibial fracture, or a femoral fracture, or both, were subjected to a double-blind randomised study to determine the efficacy of methylprednisolone in treating the fat embolism syndrome. This drug maintained arterial oxygen levels, stabilised or reduced the serum level of free fatty acids, and decreased the risk of the fat embolism syndrome in a statisticall...

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is rich in vegetables, fruits, and low-fat dairy products and has reduced amounts of saturated fat, total fat, and cholesterol. This diet considerably reduces blood pressure in hypertensive and normotensive individuals. Because hypertension is the major risk factor for stroke, the DASH diet may lower stroke risk. Few studies have examined ...

Decreased activities of jejunal mucosal enzymes, i.e. lactase, sucrase, maltase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase were found in rats with experimental blind loop syndrome. The peroral administration of Kanamycin induced both reduction in fecal fat excretion and restoration of enzyme activities in rats with the blind loop syndrome. Similar effects of Kanamycin on fecal fat excretion and jejunal ...
