Abstract:

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a devastating disease that exhibits permanent lumen expansion typically in the infrarenal aorta. AAA is prevalent among aged population, especially in males. Despite the incidence in women is lower, studies indicate the tortuosity is more severe and aortic rupture risk is higher in women. In most patients, AAA remains asymptomatic until it ruptures leading to sudden and fatal hemorrhage. To date, there is no proven medical therapy that can prevent the expansion or rupture. Human observational studies implicate the presence of AAA is associated with both high

Abstract:

Ischemic colitis is a known complication of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. There is still no established consensus regarding the individual significance of factors related to this phenomenon. We detail the hospital course of a patient who unexpectedly developed acute colonic ischemia following open AAA repair. The pathophysiology, diagnostic modalities, potential preventative measures, and effect on patient morbidity and mortality will be presented. Reviewing the current literature, this will focus on the reported statistical importance of various risk factors including the incidence

Abstract:

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), a permanent dilation in the abdominal region of the aorta, is a highly sexually dimorphic disease. AAAs prevalence is ranging from 4-10 fold higher in males than females. Defining the mechanistic basis for reduced (in females) or increased (in males) AAA formation and progression may uncover potential therapeutic targets. The majority of studies examining sexual dimorphism focus on the role of sex hormones. However, genes residing on sex chromosomes, in addition to sex hormones, may contribute to sexual dimorphism of AAAs. For example, the X chromosome contai

Abstract:

The current study focuses on finding differential expression between circulating microRNAs in plasma from patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms compared to un-diseased individuals by using a qPCR-based array. In addition, we evaluated the expression of deregulated microRNAs in human tissue samples as well as microarray data from two independent mouse models of aneurysm development. Fifteen miRNAs were found to be significantly differentially expressed, with four of them surviving multiple testing. Interestingly all four of them were substantially different in murine aneurysm development.

Abstract:

AAA disease remains a common and life threatening condition, predominantly affecting men of retirement age. Whilst clinical studies have done much to predict the course of this disease, understanding the pathogenesis has been complicated by both a multi-factorial aetiology as well as several poorly defined stages to the disease (formation, growth and rupture). Evidence points to a considerable inheritable component to this condition, but as yet, associations with identified genetic variants are few and weak.

Abstract:

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) represents a complex biochemical pathology, characterised by marked tissue remodelling and severe inflammation. The weakening of the arterial wall is assessed with elevated production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix components causing a reduction in tensile strength and mechanical integrity. However, the cause of this overproduction of MMPs remains poorly understood. Analysis of small AAAs has demonstrated that MMP-2 is the most prominent MMP, an enzyme known to be produced by most mesenchymal cells. The present the

Abstract:

The purpose of this dissertation was to examine factors associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among emerging adults in college aged 18-25 years. CVD risks that develop during this period often persist into adulthood making it an ideal time to target CVD prevention. The specific aims of this dissertation were to 1) explore perceptions of cardiovascular risk among emerging adult men in college; 2) compare differences in unhealthy behaviors and obesity between emerging adults in college living in rural, Appalachian Kentucky and urban Fayette County, Kentucky; and 3) compare measures o

Abstract:

Recent research has shown that the combination of high triglyceride (TG) levels and low high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels, significantly increases the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD). The incidence of CAD is also increased in abdominally obese individuals. To assess differences in postprandial TG clearance patterns between abdominally obese (AO) and controls (C), fourteen healthy, normolipidemic males (seven controls and seven abdominally obese) completed an oral fat loading test (78 grams of fat). Blood samples were collected every hour for eight hours. Abdominally obese indivi

Abstract:

Sedentary lifestyles and energy-rich diets are driving an increasing prevalence of abdominal obesity, which is associated with cardiovascular risk. Reliable estimates of the worldwide prevalence of abdominal obesity are needed to quantify the associated health risk. The International Day for the Evaluation of Abdominal obesity (IDEA) study is a large, international epidemiological cross-sectional study designed to provide reliable data on the distribution of waist circumference according to region, gender, age, and socio-economic level in 177 345 primary care patients from 63 countries across

Abstract:

The prevalence of obesity in both the developed and developing world have increased, which leads to diverse health outcomes and is placing a heavy burden on the economy. Abdominal obesity proved to be one of the main features in predicting metabolic and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and may be the link that unifies the metabolic syndrome (MS) through pro-inflammatory pathways. While the pathogenesis of the MS and each of its components are complex and not well understood, abdominal obesity remains the mechanism that relates to increased lipolysis causing the liver to increase blood glucose

Abstract:

Population studies about nutritional status have demonstrated that overweight is a serious public health problem in affluent societies and developing countries alike, particularly for underprivileged urban women. Research has upheld the hypothesis of an association between short stature (a marker of undernutrition early in life) and obesity, thus suggesting that early undernutrition might be a risk factor for morbidity in adult life. With the purpose of studying this association in populations of low income, this study describes aspects about the correlation among low stature, abdominal obesit

Abstract:

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), age-related macular degeneration (AMO) and invasive meningococcal disease (IMO) are multifactorial diseases which have genetic and environmental risk factors. The complement system is an ancient part of the innate immune system that is activated in all three of these diseases. AAA is a pathological dilatation of the abdominal aorta that can rupture, often causing death. AMD is a common sight-impairing inflammatory retinal disease. IMD is due to infection with Neisseria meningilidis, which can cause potentially fatal illness in some people. The aim of this work

Abstract:

Introdução: A incidência da doença arterial coronária é uma das principais causas de morbidade e motalidade em diversos países e o estudo dos fatores de risco têm grande importância na prevenção e no tratamento dessa enfermidade. Entre outros fatores, a obesidade e a obesidade abdominal têm sido associadas com a maior incidência de DAC. A ingestão diária de nutrientes também pode estar relacionada com essa doença, porém, uma vez que a alimentação é complexa e contém diversos nutrientes, ainda não foi possível elucidar o impacto da alimentação no risco de desenvolver a doença arterial coronária
