The risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease, in the elderly population increases along with that of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. Identifying specific biomarkers for RA can clarify the underlying molecular mechanisms and can aid d[r]
This qualitative research presents some limitations. A first possible bias concerns the researchers who conducted the interviews. They were previously involved in the QIP, and thus they are known by the interviewees as promoters of this program. As a consequence, GPs in disaccord with some is[r]
overweight by Lew and Garfinkel (1) were also linked to neoplastic cachexia (3). These cancers in- clude colorectal, pancreatic and ovarian cancers. This is probably why the review of the literature for individual cancer sites carried out in the UK by the COMA panel (6) support[r]
Concern for cardiovascular disease (particularly atrial fibrillation-AF) among women with breast cancer is becoming a major issue. We aimed at determining the incidence of cardiovascular disease events (AF, arterial and cardiac events, venous-thromboembolism-VTE) in patients diagnosed with breast ca[r]
The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is rapidly increasing, with many complications pressured on the health care system. Complications of diabetes due to chronic hyperglycemia related to other metabolic disorders, causing damage to the microvascular system.
Children with T1 DM are not only at increased risk for complications directly related to glucose metabolism and other autoimmune diseases as discussed earlier, but they also are found to have an increased prevalence of mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression,[r]

Cervical cancer is one of the most easily preventable forms of female cancers if early screening and diagnosis is made. Low awareness level about the disease and risk factors, beliefs about the disease, poor access to preventive services, affordability of the service and current health service syste[r]
A ● Use aspirin therapy 75–162 mg/day as a primary prevention strategy in those with type 1 or 2 diabetes at in-creased cardiovascular risk, including TABLE 11—_SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION[r]
Aim of this study was to compare cancer incidence in populations with and without diabetes by cancer site. Furthermore, we aimed at comparing excess risk of cancer according to diabetes type, diabetes duration and treatment, the latter as regards Type 2 diabetes.
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as abuse, household dysfunction, and neglect, have been shown to increase adults’ risk of developing chronic conditions and risk factors for chronic conditions, including cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Babies born at moderate-late preterm gestations account for > 80% of all preterm births. Although survival is excellent, these babies are at increased risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. They also are at increased risk of adverse long-term health outcomes, such as cardiovascular disease, ob[r]
Transition from pediatric to adult diabetes care is a high risk period during which there is an increased rate of disengagement from care. Suboptimal transition has been associated with higher risks for acute and chronic diabetes-related complications.
Sildenafil is not suitable for all patients. For those in whom it is not effec- tive, they should move to another oral agent or to second and third line therapies or consider other salvage techniques (63). Tadalafil (Cialis) . The structure of tadalafil is shown in the Fig. 7.[r]
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease but the relevance of reduced kidney function to cancer risk is uncertain. Individual patient data were collected from six studies (32,057 participants); including one population-based cohort and five randomized con[r]
Considerable emphasis has been placed on the benefits of leisure time physical activity (LTPA) to counteract sed- entary occupations and lifestyles but we have previously reported that leisure time activity may be unlikely to con- tribute sufficient energy expenditure to prevent increases i[r]
In Figure 1 we illustrate risk functions for combinations of parameters relevant to human complex genetic diseases. Th e x-axis is the number of risk alleles harbored by individuals in a population; theoretically, this can be between 0 and 2 n , but in practi[r]
Most adolescents aged 10-19 years with diabetes have type 1, an autoimmune form of the disease in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Without insulin, fat and sugar remain in the blood and eventually can damage vital organs. Acute complications[r]
