A comprehensive analysis of cooking solutions co-benefits at household level: Healthy lives and well-being, gender and climate change.

Three billion people (>40% of the world's population) lack access to clean cooking solutions, including 2.5 billion people that still rely on the traditional use of biomass for cooking. In urban contexts, the rate of access to clean cooking solutions is normally higher than in rural contexts due to greater availability of these solutions.

Women's Select Health Issues in Underserved Populations.

The purpose of this article is to review women's health issues that affect underserved populations. Certain groups have a lack of health care resources or inability to access resources. Individuals encounter barriers to accessing health care due to socioeconomic status, transportation, intimate partner issues, and distrust of the health care system.

[THE REVISTA ROL CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPANISH NURSING].

In 1978, a year after the integration of nursing studies at the university, was born the first Spanish journal of nursing: ROL de Enfermería. From then until now, this scientific publication has made history with the nursing profession. Through this work we have analyzed, by a bibliographical review, the scientific production of this tour between 1978 and December 2014.

Carbohydrate restriction reduces lipids and inflammation and prevents atherosclerosis in Guinea pigs.

Aim: There is limited information on how dietary carbohydrate restriction (CR) or the combination of dietary cholesterol (chol) and CR may affect atherosclerosis development. Guinea pigs were used to evaluate the effects of chol and CR on aortic cholesterol accumulation, mechanical properties of aortas and cytokine production.

Methods: Ten male guinea pigs were fed either low (L) or high (H) chol in combination with CR or high carbohydrate (control) for 12 wk.

Dietary fat saturation and gender/hormonal status modulate plasma lipids and lipoprotein composition(1).

Male, female and ovariectomized (to mimic menopause) guinea pigs were fed a saturated (SFA) or a polyunsaturated (PUFA) fat diet for 4 weeks to determine the effects of dietary fat saturation on lipoprotein levels and composition and to assess whether gender and hormonal status modulate the cholesterolemic response. Both diets contained 15g/100 g fat and 0.04 g/100 g cholesterol and were identical in composition except for the type of fat.

The hypocholesterolaemic effects of sitostanol in the guinea pig are in part related to changes in hepatic lipids and lipoprotein composition.

To evaluate some of the mechanisms involved in the plasma cholesterol lowering of sitostanol (SI), male Hartley guinea pigs were fed diets containing cholesterol (0.25 g/100 g) and four doses of SI: either 0 (control), 0.75, 1.
