Cardiovascular diseases cause approximately one-third of all deaths in the world, which 7.5 million are estimated to be due ischemic heart disease (IHD). Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and sudden death most IHD-related deaths, represent 1.8 per year. Established, that patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) more likely experience ACS failure at greater risk for dying after an acute cardiac event, ...

<span>Cigarette smoke contains thousands of man-made substances, and many may contribute to addiction inflammation. This study examined the effect synbiotics on Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence (FTND) inflammatory markers in Thai smokers. 14 smokers with a Nicotine Dependence Test scores 4 or higher no pregnancy lactation history participated this study. We gave them surveys about ...

Large volcanic eruptions are one of the dominant perturbations to global and regional atmospheric temperatures on timescales years decades. Discrepancies remain, however, in estimated magnitude persistence surface temperature cooling caused by eruptions, as characterized paleoclimatic proxies climate models. We investigate these discrepancies context large tropical over Last Millennium using tw...

We aimed to examine whether a whole-grain crispbread (CB) low-fructose, low-calorie diet (LCD) might be superior to a traditional LCD based on fructose-rich liquid meal replacements (LMRs) with respect to improvement of various cardiometabolic risk factors and reproductive hormones. Parallel-group randomised controlled clinical trial. Morbidly obese women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)...

Owing to their high theoretical specific capacity and low cost, lithium- manganese-rich layered oxide (LMR) cathode materials are receiving increasing attention for application in lithium-ion batteries. However, poor lithium ion electron transport kinetics plus side effects of anion cation redox reactions hamper power performance stability the LMRs. In this study, LMR Li1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O2 was modi...

Spectral over-smoothing is still observable in the converted spectral envelope when linear multivariate regression (LMR) based spectrum mapping is adopted to convert voice. Therefore, in this paper, we study to place a histogram-equalization (HEQ) module immediately before LMR based mapping and to place a target frame selection (TFS) module immediately after LMR based mapping. These two modules...

SVlm21 is a mutant of Sindbis virus which was isolated by serial passage of virus in mosquito cells maintained in low-methionine medium; it therefore has a low-methionine-resistant (LMR) phenotype. This phenotype requires mutations at nts 319 and 321; these mutations result in Arg to Leu and Ser to Cys changes at positions 87 and 88 respectively in the viral methyl transferase, nsP1. To better ...

BACKGROUND Attrition is a problem among patients who participate in commercial weight loss programs. One possible explanation is that if patients are unable to reach a weight that they expect to achieve, they may be more likely to drop out of treatment. This study investigated variables associated with attrition among 30 obese patients who completed a liquid meal replacement program (LMR) and e...

Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic potential of inflammatory response biomarkers neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) in predicting the outcome of rectal cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiation prior to surgery. Methods: Retrospective review of T3/T4, or N+ re...
