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 The disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire is a self-administered region-specific outcome instrument developed as a measure of self-rated upper-extremity disability and symptoms. The DASH consists mainly of a 30-item disability/symptom scale, scored 0 (no disability) to 100. The main purpose of this study was to assess the longitudinal construct validity of t...

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...
