Sex‐Specific Association of Obstructive Sleep Apnea With Retinal Microvascular Signs: The Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016)
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition affecting more men than women. The relationship of OSA with microvascular disease is unclear, complicated by possible sex difference. Assessment of the ...
Circulating N‐Linked Glycoprotein Side‐Chain Biomarker, Rosuvastatin Therapy, and Incident Cardiovascular Disease: An Analysis From the JUPITER Trial
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016)
Background: GlycA, a novel protein glycan biomarker of N‐acetyl side chains of acute‐phase proteins, was recently associated with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) in healthy women. Whether GlycA predicts CVD events ...
Dietary flavonoid intake and risk of incident depression in midlife and older women123
(American Society for Nutrition, 2016)
Background: The impact of dietary flavonoid intakes on risk of depression is unclear. Objective: We prospectively examined associations between estimated habitual intakes of dietary flavonoids and depression risk. Design: ...
Serum Magnesium and the Risk of Death From Coronary Heart Disease and Sudden Cardiac Death
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016)
Background: Low serum magnesium has been implicated in cardiovascular mortality, but results are conflicting and the pathway is unclear. We studied the association of serum magnesium with coronary heart disease (CHD) ...
Ebola Virus Epidemiology and Evolution in Nigeria
(Oxford University Press, 2016)
Containment limited the 2014 Nigerian Ebola virus (EBOV) disease outbreak to 20 reported cases and 8 fatalities. We present here clinical data and contact information for at least 19 case patients, and full-length EBOV ...
Healthy Dietary Patterns and Oxidative Stress as Measured by Fluorescent Oxidation Products in Nurses’ Health Study
(MDPI, 2016)
Healthy diets may lower oxidative stress and risk of chronic diseases. However, no previous studies examined associations between diet and fluorescent oxidation products (FlOP), a global marker of oxidative stress. We ...
Metabolites of Glutamate Metabolism Are Associated With Incident Cardiovascular Events in the PREDIMED PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED) Trial
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016)
Background: Glutamate metabolism may play a role in the pathophysiology of cardiometabolic disorders. However, there is limited evidence of an association between glutamate‐related metabolites and, moreover, changes in ...
A critical review of perfluorooctanoate and perfluorooctanesulfonate exposure and immunological health conditions in humans
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Abstract Whether perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), two widely used and biopersistent synthetic chemicals, are immunotoxic in humans is unclear. Accordingly, this article systematically and ...
