“…6,7 Interestingly, recent studies have shown that elevated systolic BP is present in almost all individuals with newly diagnosed DM. 8 One can only guess the future perspectives and magnitude of the situation given the global prevalence of DM and projections for 2030, 9 as well as the global challenge of hypertension over the next couple of decades.…”

Blood pressure control in the setting of diabetes mellitus: new targets, new hope for improvement?

The prevalence of hypertension in the setting of diabetes mellitus (DM) is high and the coexistence of the two conditions together is particularly unfavourable, as both the conditions are significant risk factors for vascular disease.1 The importance of optimal blood pressure (BP) and DM control is gaining further momentum lately, and the possibilities of additional improvements in the care of these patients are being explored worldwide.2,3 More recently, the question of whether enough attention was being given to BP measurements in DM clinics has been evaluated. 4 The results provide more insight into missed opportunities for aggressive BP management on a background of DM.Facing the diabetes epidemic and coexistent global burden of hypertension -what is the future going to be like?The national diabetes audit suggested that a quarter of people with DM in the UK remain undiagnosed. Hypertension, like DM is also becoming a major global health crisis, 2 demanding a vast proportion of health care resources directly and indirectly. The problem of hypertension in the setting of DM in the UK is large -a cross-sectional survey of over 250 000 patients from general practices across the UK recently reported that 56.2% of pharmacologically treated and 47.2% of diet-treated patients with DM had hypertension, as compared to 10.3% in those without DM.5 This was consistent with earlier reports, where the association between DM and hypertension was established in up to 65% of patients with DM, having major implications for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. 6,7 Interestingly, recent studies have shown that elevated systolic BP is present in almost all individuals with newly diagnosed DM. 8 One can only guess the future perspectives and magnitude of the situation given the global prevalence of DM and projections for 2030, 9 as well as the global challenge of hypertension over the next couple of decades.

“…According to investigations, obesity increases the risk of diabetes and the risk of developing hypertension. Diabetes and hypertension commonly coexist; the appearance of both is common in elderly people [14] [15]. The predicates obtained in this experiment reflect the real characteristics of diabetes, or at least show many similarities to the characteristics of the illness.…”

Compensatory Fuzzy Logic (CFL) is a logical system, which enables an optimal way for the modeling of knowledge. Its axiomatic character enables the work of natural language translation of logic, so it is used in knowledge discovery and decision-making. In this work we propose a general and flexible approach for knowledge discovery which allows obtaining different knowledge structure using a metaheuristic approach. The proposed method was tested by experimental analysis from a data set, using a tool developed in visual Prolog. The experimental results show some advantages of the proposed approach for representing patterns and trends from data.

“…The DASH (dietary approaches to stop hypertension) study demonstrated that a diet high in whole grains, fruit, vegetable and low fat dairy, and restricted in fat, lowers BP in hypertension individuals. Dietary consumption of oats is consistent with the DASH recommendations, and may confer benefit due to its fiber content (Contreras et al, 2000).…”

The multifunctional uses of oats include forage, fodder, straw for bedding, hay, haylage, silage chaff, human food; most commonly, they are rolled or crushed into oatmeal, or ground into fine oat flour. Oatmeal is chiefly eaten as porridge, but may also be used in a variety of baked goods, such as oatcakes, oatmeal cookies, oat bread and raw material for food, health care and cosmetic products. The major components of oats that contribute to its function include β-glucan, protein, oil, and starch. The minor protein of oat is a prolamine, avenin. In addition there are minor components, including tocols and avenanthramides that have antioxidant properties and may contribute to human health and well being. Here we review the progress made in oats and highlight the potential and future prospects.
