Food insecurity increases the risk for obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer-conditions highly prevalent among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs). Using the Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement, we analyzed the food insecurity trends of AI/ANs compared to other racial and ethnic groups in the United States from 2000 to 2010. From 2000 to 2010, 25% of AI/ANs remained c...
NADPH oxidase (NOX) is a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body and it plays a key role in mediation of oxidative injury in the cardiovascular system. The purposes of this study are to evaluate the status of NOX in endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) of hyperlipidemic rats and to determine whether NOX-derived ROS promotes the dysfunction of EPCs. The rats were fed on a high-fat ...
Maximal oxygen uptake (VOmax) is an essential part of health and physical fitness, and refers to the highest rate of oxygen consumption an individual ...
Bronchial inflammation contributes to a sustained elevation of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in asthma. Conversely, omega-3 fatty acid derivatives ...
Sucralose is partially absorbed after oral ingestion, with the majority excreted in the feces. We aimed to measure plasma sucralose concentrations fol...
It is important to verify the old findings of Cumming (1972) and Goldberg and Shephard (1980) who showed that stroke volume (SV) may be higher during ...
BACKGROUND: Several robotic devices have been proposed for upper limb rehabilitation, but they differ in terms of application fields and the technical...
AIM: Beverages are globally significant sources of water in the diet. There is a lack of knowledge about fluid intake from beverage and water consumpt...
BACKGROUND: Exercise testing devices for evaluating cardiopulmonary fitness in patients with severe disability after stroke are lacking, but we have a...
BACKGROUND: Over 50% of patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF) experience HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) Exercise training (ET) is ...
This paper presents a new study based on a machine learning technique, specifically an artificial neural network, for predicting systolic blood pressu...
BACKGROUND: The efficacy of statin therapy may be lost or vary with reduction in compliance and intensity of statin therapy.
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Overweight and obesity increase cardiovascular mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In a recent trial, however, diet-i...
AIM: The fruit of the pomegranate (Punica granatum) has a high content of polyphenols and is renowned for its antioxidant capabilities. In particular,...
To investigate whether the learning curve of robotic surgery simulator training depends on the probands' characteristics, such as age and prior experi...
BACKGROUND: Statins are the first-line therapy for lowering high lipid levels. Atorvastatin calcium (AtC) is the most commonly prescribed statin. It i...
We propose an independent objective method to characterize different patterns of functional responses to stress in the heart failure with preserved ej...
OBJECTIVE: Hemodialysis patients are prone to malnutrition because of diet or many uremic complications. The objective of this study is to determine w...
To assess and validate the Smart Exercise Bike designed for Parkinson's Disease (PD) rehabilitation, 47 individuals with PD were randomly assigned to ...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In this study, we developed a computer controlled treadmill system using a recurrent fuzzy neural network heart rate control...
