Nutrigenomics
Nutrigenomics deals with studying of molecular relationships between nutrition and the response of genes. Also involves the characterisation of gene products and the physiological function and interactions of these products. Nutrigenomics focuses on the effect of nutrients on the genome, proteome, metabolome and explains the relationship between these specific nutrients and nutrient-regimes on ...

Worldwide Prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation
The prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation globally is rising at a significant rate. However, researchers, scientists and clinicians remain uncertain as to how many people may have the heart irregularity because of this rapid growth. In addition, there are concerns that because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there may be millions of people worldwide with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) who have not been ...

A Moment Matching Approach for Generating Synthetic Data
ABSTRACT Synthetic data are becoming increasingly important mechanisms for sharing data among collaborators and with the public. Multiple methods for the generation of synthetic data have been proposed, but many have short comings with respect to maintaining the statistical properties of the original data. We propose a new method for fully synthetic data generation that leverages linear ...

Doctors at NaHomolce Hospital in Prague perform AccuCinch Procedure in Patient with Heart Failure - Patient Case Study at Na Homolce Hospital
February 1, Prague/ Udalosti. The epidemic called “Chronic Heart Failure” affects up to half a million Czechs. An innovation being tested at Prague’s Na Homolce Hospital could be a turning point in the care of these patients. A special implant adjusts the shape of the left ventricle, which may allow the heart to work better and may stop the progression of the ...

What causes heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)?
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a multifactorial and multisystemic disorder that represents more than 50% of all heart failure cases.[1] Epidemiologic data from the Framingham Study, an international cohort study, shows a rapid increase in the prevalence of HFpEF over the past three decades, from 41% to 56% and, conversely, a decrease in the prevalence of HFrEF from 44% ...

The Role of Chx10 Neurons in Global Motor Arrest
A recent study by Goni-Erro et al (2023) in Nature Neuroscience has shed light on a fascinating phenomenon: the neural control of global motor arrest. From the cessation of goal-directed actions to a broader motor arrest in response to fear or environmental cues, this complex behavior involves an intricate set of neuronal pathways. This recent study reveals that the activation of ...

3 tips to improve cardiovascular health
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) cause 17 million deaths globally every year, making it the leading cause of death around the world. The cardiovascular system—which includes your heart and blood vessels—distributes oxygen through the body and removes waste. Every cell in the body depends on this process to run smoothly. Your cardiovascular system plays a key role in your overall ...

CPR Vs. AED Training: What’s The Difference?
Every second counts in any emergency, particularly those involving sudden cardiac events. Training in life-saving procedures becomes pivotal in ensuring that a victim has the best chance of survival. Two terms that often surface in discussions about cardiac emergencies are CPR vs. AED training. While both aim at preserving life during cardiac crises, they serve different functions and involve ...

Metabolomics in Gut Microbiota Research
With rapid development in sequencing technology, researchers can better assess the effect of the gut microbiome on human health. Human beings have a symbiotic relationship with the microbiota since birth. The environment, proximity to other humans and animals, diet, genetics, and time changes can all affect the microbial composition of our skin, mouth, and intestines. Compared with other ...

New Findings about BRD4 Protein You May Want to Know
A new study clarifies how BRD4 (a protein that scientists have studied for many years) directs the spatial organization of DNA in the cell nucleus (a key function of stem cells to differentiate into muscle cells), which promotes the understanding of certain cancers and complex congenital diseases. Since the way DNA is folded is essential for gene regulation, this research not only has ...

Will Metformin Be Replaced By SGLT-2 Inhibitors
Metformin is a classic first-line hypoglycemic agent for patients with type 2 diabetes, and is an essential drug in combination regimenes. However, as the evidence is updated, the idea of drug selection for first-line treatment is changing. GLP-1 agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors in combination with or without metformin (as required for glycemic management) have also been recommended by multiple ...

Conceptual Considerations for Device-Based Therapy in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Abstract Acute decompensated heart failure remains the most common cause of hospitalization in older adults, and studies of pharmacological therapies have yielded limited progress in improving outcomes for these patients. This has prompted the development of novel device–based interventions, classified mechanistically based on the way in which they intend to improve central hemodynamics, ...
