An Easy Way to Detect Cardiovascular Risk

Abstract

Cardiovascular risk means the degree of risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular pathology, predictable by quantifying the risk factors (RF) existing in each individual. Global cardio-metabolic risk is the overall risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and/or CVD, including myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, which is due to a bundle of risk factors. The cardio-metabolic risk is based on the concept of continuous risk. The importance of cardiovascular / cardio-metabolic risk is particular because controlling its components may affect atherogenesis and its clinical consequences: chronic ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and peripheral arteriopathy, but also diabetes mellitus (DM). Currently there is no method to use all the known risk cardio-metabolic factors to quantify cardiovascular risk or diabetes risk.

Immunohistochemical analisys in Breast Carcinoma Treated with Conservative Surgery

“…For the immune-phenotype with both receptors negative, ER-/PR-we had 24 cases (24%). The results were comparable to those obtained in similar studies that concluded that almost 50% of invasive mammary carcinomas have both receptors positive whilst 25% are lacking in them [8][9][10][11][12]. The ER+/PR-phenotype represents a distinct group because it usually is accompanied by high clinical and biological aggressiveness and have the least satisfactory response to hormone therapy in comparison to other phenotypes [13][14][15][16].…”

Chemical Liaison Between Diabetes and Hypertension, Depression and Socio-economic Deprivation Impact in Both

“…DM and deprivation is, no doubt, a twin problem in Arad County. The association between DM and HTN with depression has been well known for at least three decades [24,25,26,27]. DM and HTN frequently occur together; there is substantial overlap between diabetes and hypertension in etiology and disease mechanisms because obesity, inflammation, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance are thought to be the common pathways [28][29][30][31].…”

Anorexia, a First Sign of Diagnosis in Severe Pediatric Disorders

“…The path of clinician thinking may be experiencing multiple traps, and relying on stereotypes, past experiences, is and can be extremely damaging [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”
