Hearts disease and diabetes

Reik Is it useful to ask whether and how nutritional influences in the environment in general can have long-term effects on the cell cycle and development at much later stages For example, smaller babies are more prone to have heart disease and diabetes. [Pg.251]

As an example, bis(trifluoromethyl) carbinols have been described as strong inhibitors of malonyl-CoA decarboxylase, an enzyme involved in the metabolism of fatty acids, a possible target for the treatment of ischemic heart disease and diabetes (Figure 7.24)." Although few enzymological data are available, it is reasonable to... [Pg.240]

The first was derived from a cohort of 451 patients consecutively admitted to a hospital in North Carolina, USA, between 1977 and 1983 and predicts survival at one and five years (Howard et al. 1987). Using regression modeling to identify independent risk factors, age over 60 years, carotid territory TIA, cigarette smoking, previous contralateral stroke, ischemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus were found to predict an increased risk of death. On internal validation, patients under 60 years of age with none of the above risk factors had a five-year survival of over 95%, while patients over 60 years of age with all of these risk factors had a five-year survival of less than 25%. [Pg.217]

Most patients with both Type 1 and Type 2 succumb to either the macrovascular or microvascular complications — especially ischaemic heart disease and diabetic nephropathy, respectively. Indeed diabetes is the major indication for dialysis and transplantation. As discussed in other chapters, the treatment of hypertension and hyperUpidaemia is particularly important in patients with diabetes. Patients with diabetic nephropathy should receive either an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor... [Pg.695]

Multiple coexisting chronic iUnesses are another common threat to independence that distinguishes the elderly from younger patients. It is not unusual for elderly patients to have multiple comorbidities such as osteoarthritis, heart disease, and diabetes. Although multiple comorbidities can have a substantial impact on a patient s functional stams, the mere existence of multiple diseases alone does not determine functional impairment. [Pg.107]

In this preantimicrobial era large city hospital patients as recently as 1930 consisted primarily of those with bacteremia, endocarditis, syphilis, rheumatic fever, and tuberculosis, diseases for which no meaningful treatment existed. Tragically, large segments of these patients were children and adolescents—most of whom would die. Today the great preponderance of patients in the hospitals of the industrial countries suffer from cancer, heart diseases, and diabetes-related hypertension and its consequences. [Pg.686]

How and what we eat as babies and toddlers can have a huge influence on our long-term health. Poor nutrition in childhood has been shown to cause heart disease and diabetes in adults. Make the most of local seasonal fruit and vegetables and turn them into simple, nutritious meals for your child. [Pg.79]

Yes, and several issues intersect. Age alone is a risk factor for a number of diseases besides cancer, including heart disease and diabetes. So doctors need to factor in other conditions and potential drug interactions in their treatment plans. Family or social support plays a big role, especially if there are concerns about cognitive function. [Pg.22]

Medical devices, and hence biomaterials, are becoming increasingly important in developed countries due to changes in society. With increasing life expectancy and better health care, people expect to remain active into their seventies and eighties. An increase in leisure time has led to an increase in injuries frotn sports, e g., skiing. Furthermore. diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, which have become more prevalent in recent decades, require biornaterials to provide long-term solutions rather than the palliative treatments currently available. ... [Pg.110]

It is worth noting that in countries such as the USA, the content of trans fatty acids (such as CLA) must be declared on food products, with a view to eliminating these from the human diet. This is because of an association between coronary heart disease in man and trans fatty acids produced from partially hydrogenated vegetable oils that are used in the manufacture of margarines and spreads. Such products have a different profile of trans fatty acids compared with those observed in milk. Indeed, the most common trans fatty add found in milk is cis-9, trans-11 CLA, and there is evidence from laboratory animals that this fatty acid has a beneficial effect on protecting against certain types of cancer, coronary heart disease and diabetes. [Pg.438]
