BloodDONORSIntroduction: Infectious agents such as hepatitis B virus can constitute major public health problems as ii affects the liver resulting into inflammatory conditions. This study was designed to assess plasma lipid profile and atherogenic indexes of hepatitis B virus carriers among voluntary ...
Our data at baseline reinforce the findings in the Patient and Provider Assessment of Lipid Management (PALM) registry.17 This registry enrolled 7938 patients with ASCVD or risk factors from 140 practices in the US.18 They observed that only 47.3% were receiving the recommended statin intensity. ...
The PRS is highly associated with blood lipid levels20-22 and is recommended as a potentially useful tool for risk assessment.23,24 Here, we first generated PRSs for 4 lipid levels by incorporating the lipid-related genetic loci from large-scale genome-wide association studies. Then we ...
Plans for assessment and collection of outcomes {18a} Main outcomes assessments Biochemical evaluation In order to determine the concentration of blood factors, the subjects will be requested to refer to the Chamran hospital laboratory after fasting for 10–12 h at the beginning and end of the stu...
Women were diagnosed with GDM following an oral glucose tolerance test performed after 24 weeks gestation or following abnormal home blood glucose monitoring in women with a history of prior GDM (n = 3). In order to obtain an overall assessment of placental function, a full thickness ...
Thus, there is an increasing demand for diagnostic tools that do not compromise affordability, sensitivity, and portability for applications in point-of-care (PoC) diagnostics3,7, personalized medicine8,9, food quality assessment10,11, and water testing12. Biosensors are attractive routes to ...
Assessment of glucose and insulin tolerance To determine the changes in glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed following oral administration of 1.5 g/kg body weight D-glucose after overnight (10 h) fasting. A 25% glucose solution (w...
P0.05.Conclusion Comprehensive intervention to the community middle aged and elderly people with lipid metabolic disturbance and high blood pressure could help to improve their lipid metabolism and stabilize blood pressure.It might be a good method to improve the health level and quality of life of ...

The intermittent hypoxia in our study was for a period of short duration (of simulated hypoxia) followed by a prolonged assessment at actual high-altitude condition. This study was therefore, different from several previous studies which were limited to either separate long-term or short-term hypox...
