Published: October 1994

Salt-induced high blood pressure in diabetic rats was compared with that in non-diabetic (control) rats. Before the rats had eaten the high-salt diet, the diabetic group exhibited significantly greater pressor response to noradrenaline (100 ng/100 g body weight) than the controls (P < 0.05). When the rats were given a high-salt diet, a significant increase in blood pressure was recorded 4 weeks earlier in the diabetic than in the control group (P < 0.05); this increase occurred after 2 weeks in the diabetic group, but after 6 weeks of high-salt diet in the controls. The enhanced state of vascular reactivity in the diabetic rats was probably responsible for their enhanced sensitivity to salt-induced high blood pressure.

Background: Understanding based on up-to-date data on the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is limited, especially regarding how subtypes contribute to the overall NCD burden and the attributable risk factors across locations and subtypes. We aimed to report the global, regional, and national burden of NCDs, subtypes, and attributable risk factors in 2021, and trends from 1990 to 2021 by age, sex, and socio-demographic index (SDI).

Materials And Methods: We used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 to estimate the prevalence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for NCDs and subtypes, along with attributable risk factors.

Severe bradycardia in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea and good early response to CPAP.

Sleep Breath

January 2025

Department of Cardiac and Vascular Diseases, Jagiellonian University Medical College, John Paul II Hospital, Prądnicka 80, Kraków, 31-202, Poland.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) may lead to heart rhythm abnormalities including bradycardia. Our aim was to ascertain clinical and echocardiographic parameters in patients with OSA in whom severe bradycardia was detected in an outpatient setting, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of CPAP therapy on heart rate normalization at the early stages of treatment.

Methods: Fifteen patients mild, moderate or severe OSA and concomitant bradycardia were enrolled.

Mediation of modifiable risk factors in two multidomain dementia prevention trials.

Department of Public and Occupational Health, Amsterdam UMC Location VUMC, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Introduction: We explored which dementia risk factors in two multidomain prevention trials mediate beneficial, neutral, or counteracting effects on dementia incidence.

Methods: We pooled data from the multidomain MAPT (Multidomain Alzheimer Preventive Trial; n = 1679, up to 5-year follow-up) and preDIVA trials (Prevention of Dementia by Intensive Vascular Care; n = 3526, up to 12-year follow-up) in adults aged 70+. We used multiple mediation analysis to quantify the role of 2-year changes in body mass index, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and physical activity in the intervention effects on dementia incidence.

Background: Membrane oxygenators facilitate extracorporeal gas exchange, necessitating the monitoring of blood gas. Recent advances in normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) for ex vivo liver offer solutions to the shortage of donor liver. However, maintaining physiological blood gas levels during prolonged NMP is complex and costly.

Associations of Faith Community Rejection with Social Support and Health Outcomes among LGBTQ+ Older Adults.

J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci

Department of Medicine, Health, and Society, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.

Objectives: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) older adults have varied experiences with faith communities, ranging from affirmation to religious trauma. We investigate how faith community rejection impacts social support and health outcomes among LGBTQ+ older adults in the Southern United States.

Methods: We analyze Wave 1 data from the LGBTQ+ Social Networks, Aging, and Policy Study (QSNAPS), collected between April 2020 and September 2021.
