This study suggests that elderly women with MI may have a worse prognosis than men, indicated by cardiac autonomic dysfunction. Since our study is cross-sectional and cannot infer causality, causation should be confirmed in further longitudinal studies.
The purpose of this observational study was to examine the prevalence of obesity in children of 6 to 8 years of age from primary public schools over a period of 6 years and the associated environmental and metabolic health risk factors.
This was a cohort observational study to investigate the prevalence of obesity in children from 14 state primary schools in Vinhedo, Sao Paulo state. Environmental and metabolic health risk factors for obesity were investigated in a cross-sectional survey.
This present study revealed 74.0% of children with obesity consumed fried foods and sweets at school, and 84.0% consumed snacks and soft drinks at home. This cohort reported to have engaged in physical activity for less than 3 hours per week at school (93.0%) and at home (85.0%). There was a high prevalence of increased waist circumference and insulin resistance among children with obesity (84.9% and 84.5%, respectively). The body mass index had a significant Spearman correlation with waist circumference, insulin resistance, and triglycerides.
Childhood obesity was associated with a high prevalence of both environmental and metabolic risk factors. Also, the authors conclude that the lack of parents’ awareness of childhood obesity and its risk factors represents a substantial barrier to lifestyle counseling.
This report describes the synthesis of new cyclic imides obtained from the reaction between aniline and dichloromaleic anhydride with further chlorosulphonation as well as the reaction between different amines and 4-methoxyphenol for the synthesis of imidobenzenesulphonyl derivatives. These compounds were tested as antinociceptive agents using the writhing test on mice. Some compounds, when intraperitoneally injected, proved to be potent and dose-related antinociceptives, being several times more active than many known reference drugs.
Antinociceptive Properties of Chloromaleinimides and Their Sulfonyl Derivatives. -A variety of new chloromaleimides [cf. (V), (IXa)] and corresponding sulfonyl derivatives [cf. (VIII), (IXb,c)] are synthesized and evaluated for their antinociceptive activities. Some of them, when intraperitoneally injected, prove to be potent and dose-related antinociceptives, being several times more active than many known reference drugs. -(WALTER, M.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
