Abstract:

Background & Purpose: Stroke is the third leading cause of death in industrialized countries. Incidence in the UK is estimated at 2 per 1000, rising dramatically with age. Ischaemic stroke accounts for the majority of these events, and may arise due to embolism, thrombosis or haemodynamic mechanisms. At present, there is no proven accepted treatment for the acute ictus, and management - both medical and surgical - places the emphasis on secondary prevention. The presence of carotid artery stenosis is one factor known to be associated with increased stroke risk, whether symptomatic or asymptoma

Abstract:

Pneumatosis intestinalis, air within the bowel wall, continues to have an elusive etiology due to its varied clinical presentation and associated disease processes. Pneumatosis may be an incidental finding on a routine CT Scan or it could present as peritonitis with intra-abdominal free air. The pathogenesis, therefore, is likely to be multifactorial rather than directly related to one particular, inciting pathology. Here we present a case of a 73-year-old male scheduled for a non-emergent incisional hernia repair who was found to have peritoneal free air without physical exam findings of peri

Background: Investigators are often interested in using population-level health administrative data in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients to study disease outcomes, risk factors and treatment effects to enhance knowledge, shape clinical practice and influence health care policy. A major limitation of using health administrative data for these purposes is the lack of detailed clinical data to adjust for the confounding effects of differential disease severity on observed associations.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) prevalence continues to rise with millions of individuals affected worldwide.

Diagnosis is easily made utilizing the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) with indication of disease at a level of 0.9 or less or 1.4 or higher (American Heart Association, 2016). Risk factors for PAD include smoking, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, family history, and chronic kidney disease. Smoking contributes to PAD two

The excess mortality risk cannot be explained by the pattern of classical risk factors which are generally lower in Indian Asians, and there are no tools that identify their elevated CVD risk.

Clostridium difficile was identified as an infective agent in the late 1970s and early 1980s and causes a spectrum of disease ranging from asymptomatic carriage, mild colitis, pseudomembranous colitis (PMC) to fulminant colitis and even death. Since its recognition as an infective pathogen, C. difficile has become the principal cause of nosocomial diarrhoea in adults.

Abstract:

Objectives: The aim of this research was to evaluate the impact of Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) on risky lifestyles, quality of life, psychopathology, psychological distress and well-being, considering the potential moderating role of depression, anxiety and psychosomatic syndromes on lifestyles modification. The influence of CR on cardiac morbidity and mortality was also evaluated. Methods: The experimental group (N=108), undergoing CR, was compared to a control group (N=85) of patients affected by cardiovascular diseases, not undergoing CR, at baseline and at 1-month, 6- and 12-months follow

Abstract:

Socioeconomic inequalities in health are a persistent and pervasive social injustice, with lower socioeconomic status (SES) being associated with poorer health outcomes and higher mortality in countries across the world. Despite some important progress, in many areas socioeconomic inequalities in health have persisted or even worsened over time. One of the barriers to progress on socioeconomic inequalities in health is our incomplete understanding of the complex relationship between SES and health, including their dynamic and bidirectional interactions across the life-course, and how their rel

Abstract:

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the 6th leading cause of death in older Americans. Currently there is no cure for AD, and even though the specific cause is unknown, diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) is regarded as a risk factor. Hispanics have a higher incidence of DM2 and possibly AD. I chose a life course theoretical model for this quantitative cross-sectional study to illuminate the variables most pertinent to a pathway from good health to poor health. The variables chosen were hypertension (HTN), obesity, smoking, stroke, dyslipidemia, and lower educational attainment. The research questions were
