compelling evidence suggests that the oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (cvd). superoxide dismutase (sod) enzymes play a major role in detoxification of reactive oxygen species and protection against oxidative stress. we examined the possible association between a 50-bp insertion/deletion in the sod1 promoter 1684-bp upstream of the sod1 atg with...

background: according to the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (cvd) in developing countries as well as high treatment expenses for patients and health-care systems, cvd prevention in such societies has a great importance. one of the most effective strategies is improvement of knowledge and attitude towards the cvd risk factors. this study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitude o...

Background: The superiority of TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios in predicting  CVD risk is a matter of debates. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare TG/HDL-C and LDL-C to HDL-C ratios in predicting the risk of CVD events. Methods: In a population-based cross-sectional study, 567 representative participants aged 40 years or older were entered in the study in Babol, North of Iran. The...

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is one of the most popular methods for producing Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs). The growth rate of CNTs based on CVD technique is investigated by using a numerical model based on finite volume method. Inlet gas mixture, including xylene as carbon source and mixture of argon and hydrogen as carrier gas enters into a horizontal CVD reactor at atmospheric pressure. In thi...

background: metabolic syndrome (ms) is the syndrome closely related to cardiovascular disease (cvd) risk factors. few prospective studies have compared the impact of dynamic changes of ms on the development of cardiovascular diseases (cvd). methods: overall, 3461 subjects were recruited from a cohort study on prevention of multiple metabolic disorders and ms in jiangsu of china (pmmjs) with a f...

to report the association of pulp calcification with that of cardiovascular disease (cvd) using digital panoramic dental radiographs.digital panoramic radiographs of patients referred from the angiography department were included if the patient was under 55 years old and had non-restored or minimally restored molars and canines. an oral and maxillofacial radiologist evaluated the images for pul...

Introduction: Extreme weather or climate, including heat waves and cold waves, is considered a health issue causing adverse effects on health, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), mortality and morbidity. Thus, this systematic review aimed to study the impacts of extreme ambient temperature on cardiovascular outcomes. Material and Methods: This study was carried out based on the Preferred R...

Aim. The aim of the study was to identify features a new coronavirus infection in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchial asthma (BA), and cardiovascular (CVD). Materials Methods. retrospective included 58 novel infection, which were divided into four groups: group 1 comprised 12 COPD CVD; 2 15 BA 3 31 CVD only. All underwent clinical examination, complete blood co...
