Stakeholders in the system of food safety, in particular federal agencies, need evidence-based, transparent, and rigorous approaches to estimate and compare the risk of foodborne illness from microbial and chemical hazards and the public health impact of interventions. FDA-iRISK (referred to here as iRISK), a Web-based quantitative risk assessment system, was developed to meet this need. The mo...

purpose: due to unhealthy lifestyles, there has been an increase in the prevalence of coronary artery disease (cad) and a reduction in its age of onset. given the high cost of diagnosis and treatment of cad, there is an urgent need to teach people strategies helpful in changing their lifestyles as this can help reduce the risk factors of the disease. therefore, the goal of the present study was...

conclusions in the chinese han population that we studied, nafld patients who carry the tnf-α-238 ga polymorphism have an increased risk of developing cad. mechanisms underlying this potentially important association require further investigation. background cardiovascular events account for the main cause of death in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld), and are largely infl...

one of the important factors which should be considered in (coronary artery disease) cad cases is increased carotid intima-media thickness (imt) which has been considered to be associated with coronary artery disease severity and cardiovascular events. the goal of this study was to compare risk factors and carotid imt in cases with cad and healthy subjects and to determine the association betwe...

coronary artery disease (cad) including myocardial infarction (mi) as its complication, is one of the most common heart diseases worldwide and also in iran, with extremely elevated mortality. cad is a multifactorial disorder. twin and family studies at different loci have demonstrated that genetic factors have an important role in the progression of cad. many studies have reported a significant...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is considered as a chronic inflammatory disease initiated from early childhood. Nuclear factor κB (NF κB) and κB1A (NF κB1A) are the key regulators of inflammatory responses. The NFKB1 -94ATTG ins/del and NFKB1A -826C/T polymorphisms may contribute to the development of CAD.  The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of these polymorphisms wit...

background and objectives: coronary artery disease (cad) is regarded as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality around the world. diabetes mellitus (dm) is associated with the development of cad and increased risk of morbidity and mortality. the goal of this study was to assess the association of tumor necrosis factorα (tnf-α) and high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hscrp) with cad severi...
