Aim of the study: An assessment short- and long-term efficacy local corticosteroid injection in patients with lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) based on The Disabilities Aim, Shoulder Hand (DASH) questionnaire Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), as well an treatment depending baseline ultrasound disease activity. Materials methods: A total 32 presenting tennis elbow increased blood flow who were tr...

The outcome of decompression for long-standing symptoms of nerve entrapments in the proximal forearm was investigated in a retrospective study of 205 patients using a self-assessment questionnaire, 45 months after the operation. The questionnaire consisted of visual analogue scale recordings of pre- and postoperative pain during rest and activity, questions about remaining symptoms and apprecia...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating pattern on cardiometabolic risks in type 2 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A randomized crossover clinical trial was undertaken in 31 type 2 diabetic patients. For 8 weeks, participants were randomly assigned to a control diet or the DASH eating pattern. RESULTS After following the...

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is a widely recommended diet for individuals with hypertension. Adherence to the DASH diet has been shown to be effective for controlling hypertension, but it is unclear whether a hypertension diagnosis has an impact on adherence to the diet and nutrient intake. This study examined the association between hypertension diagnosis and the DAS...

Reaction of cis-[RuCl2(dppm)2]BF4 with TlBF4 and 1,4-diethynyl-benzenes results in the formation of the vinylidene cations trans-[Ru([double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH-C6H2-2,5-R2-4-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CH)Cl(dppm)2](+) (R = H, Me). Subsequent reaction with [N(n)Bu4]Cl results in nucleophilic attack at the coordinated organic ligand, but not at the expe...

DASH is a scalable shared memory multiprocessor architecture which employs directory based cache coherence. Due to the physical distribution of the memory in DASH, there is potential for long memory latency. Although a number of latency reducing and hiding techniques such caching, a weaker memory consistency model, and pre-fetching are employed by DASH, the use of Multithreaded processors is no...

The synthesis, structure, and reactivity of a thorium metallacyclopentadiene were comprehensively studied. The reduction of (η(5)-C5Me5)2ThCl2 () with potassium graphite (KC8) in the presence of diphenylacetylene (PhC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CPh) yields the first thorium metallacyclopentadiene complex (η(5)-C5Me5)2Th(η(2)-C4Ph4) (). Density functional theory (DFT) studies suggest that the...

BACKGROUND Although the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet has been shown to lower blood pressure (BP) in short-term feeding studies, it has not been shown to lower BP among free-living individuals, nor has it been shown to alter cardiovascular biomarkers of risk. OBJECTIVE To compare the DASH diet alone or combined with a weight management program with usual diet controls am...

BACKGROUND The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is recommended in the 2005 US Dietary Guidelines. To understand the potential benefits of DASH on coronary heart disease (CHD), we applied the Framingham risk equations to calculate 10-year risk of developing CHD using data from the DASH trial. METHODS AND RESULTS In the DASH trial, 459 individuals with prehypertension or stag...

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet has been proven to effectively lower blood pressure(BP), and associate with a lower cardiovascular disease and stroke risk in mainly non-Asians. Further, it is unclear if adhering to the DASH target nutrients has similar BP impact as adhering to the recommended DASH food groups. Associations between adherence to DASH foods or nutrients and...
