Spectrum of gluten-related disorders: consensus on new nomenclature and classification
The high frequency and wide range of adverse reactions to gluten raise the question as to why this dietary protein is toxic for so many individuals in the world. The proteins that are responsible for a dietary allergy in wheat are also less clearly defined than those contributing to baker's asthma, but recent studies indicate that there are intriguing similarities and differences between the two conditions
It found no real difference between someone who could run a 5 min mile vs a 8 min mile but a huge difference in heart disease between the 8 min milers and the 14 min milers..... Results of 13 studies describing eight different cohorts suggest that regular physical activity is associated with an increase of life expectancy by 0.4 to 6.9 years
We were struck, while reading the original James Bond books, that his alcohol consumption seemed rather high and wondered whether he would realistically have the capacity to perform (in all aspects of his life)2 3 at his high level of alcohol intake. Unfortunately limited resources and other clinical, social, intellectual, and cultural commitments meant a more pragmatic approach had to be taken, and seven books each were allocated over the six month study period.On several occasions estimates of consumption have had to be used as Mr Fleming was not precise with his writing
Health Care Expenditures The MEPS ascertains from respondents and physicians the sum of insurance payments and out-of-pocket costs for services received. Consequently, the associations found in a study with one patient per physician are dominated by patient-level effects and might be better characterized as follows: patients who are bigger users of health care and have (on the average) higher risk of death tend to also report getting more attention from and communication with their physicians
The preferred responses are highlighted For CME Course: A Proposed Model for Initial Assessment and Management of Acute Heart Failure Syndromes Indicate what changes(s) you will implement in your practice, if any, based on this CME course. In the study of Orlich et al., the fact is that vegetarians were more likely to have a better educational status and this could explain their healthy eating and life behavior, higher rates of physical activity and consequently lower rates of diabetes, smoking and alcohol, aspirin or statin consumption.1 It is plausible to think that one by adopting a healthier lifestyle is more prone to easily be vegetarian
The authors of the PLoS ONE study found increased concentrations of vitamin C and total phenolic compounds, as well as higher anti-oxidant capacity in organic strawberries. Two studies reported significantly lower urinary pesticide levels among children consuming organic versus conventional diets, but studies of biomarker and nutrient levels in serum, urine, breast milk, and semen in adults did not identify clinically meaningful differences
After-birth abortion: why should the baby live? -- Giubilini and Minerva -- Journal of Medical Ethics
We have previously discussed the argument from potentiality, showing that it is not strong enough to outweigh the consideration of the interests of actual people. This means that many non-human animals and mentally retarded human individuals are persons, but that all the individuals who are not in the condition of attributing any value to their own existence are not persons
Earthing: Health Implications of Reconnecting the Human Body to the Earth's Surface Electrons
Feynman said that when the body potential is the same as the Earth's electric potential (and thus grounded), it becomes an extension of the Earth's gigantic electric system. DOMS is a common complaint in the fitness and athletic world following excessive physical activity and involves acute inflammation in overtaxed muscles
Therefore it seemed to us that for these study participants, it was not so much the compression of morbidity that was important to their survival, but rather a compression of disability. Women who gave birth to a child after the age of 40 (fertility assistance was not technologically available to this cohort) had a four times greater odds of being a centenarian
