Σχέση μεταξύ διαιτητικής πρόσληψης νατρίου, καλίου, διττανθρακικού νατρίου και υγείας

Η αυξημένη πρόσληψη νατρίου έχει συσχετιστεί με αυξημένα επίπεδα αρτηριακής πίεσης και αυξημένο κίνδυνο εμφάνισης καρδιαγγειακής νόσου. Επίσης, η αναλογία νατρίου/καλίου μπορεί να αποτελέσει ανεξάρτητο παράγοντα πρόβλεψης καρδιαγγειακών συμβάντων, ενώ η ενσωμάτωση τροφών ή συμπληρωμάτων διατροφής πλούσιων σε διττανθρακικά μπορεί να προσφέρει σημαντικά οφέλη στην υγεία.

The Beneficial Effects of Positive End Expiratory Pressure on the Circulatory System in a Porcine Model of Carbon DioxidePneumoperitoneum

Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) application and Intra-Abdominal Pressure (IAP) increase have individually detrimental effects on the circulatory system. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of three different PEEP levels on the circulatory system in a porcine model of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum (PNP). Continue reading →

Cancer Patients Holistic Needs Assessment Test. Why Patients Engage. A Study of Drivers in Scotland

There are approximately 1,000 new cancer cases diagnosed in the UK every day. Macmillan Cancer Support UK (MCS) offers persons affected by cancer a tool the called Holistic Needs Assessment Test (eHNA) to access more than 200 support services. The paper seeks to (1) find detailed non-drivers that make participants not engage in full, (2) compare metrics used to capture reasons for not answeringin full, and extend them to compute the cost of the service.
