Both influenza viruses and air pollutants have been well documented as major hazards to human health, but few epidemiologic studies have assessed effect modification of influenza on health effects of ambient air pollutants. The authors aimed to assess modifying effects of influenza on health effects of ambient air pollutants.
A role of dietary nutrients in relation to insulin resistance has been suggested but conclusive evidence in human beings is lacking. Asian Indians and South Asians are prone to develop insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome. In the present paper, data pertaining to nutrient intake, insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk …
Air pollution is an important determinant of population health. In an analysis that correlates reductions in fine particulate matter (i.e., particles less than 2.5
By Abhishek Shukla New Delhi Jan. 18: Every 25th Indian carries a mutant gene which makes the person vulnerable to an "almost guaranteed" risk of sudden cardiac arrest, results of a study published on Sunday suggest. The mutated gene is carried by six crore people around the globe of which …
NEW YORK - Patients with heart rhythm disturbances who have an implantable heart defibrillator are particularly vulnerable to air pollution, a Swedish study indicates. In patients with these devices, known as implantable cardioverter defibrillators, or ICDs, exposure to air pollution may rapidly (within 2 hours) prompt ventricular arrhythmia -- a …
This new lab study on cooking oils by CSE, finds high levels of dangerous trans fats in all samples of vanaspati oil. Expresses concern over delays in setting up of stringent standards and recommends tough enforcement so that companies cannot take us and our food for a ride. There is …
It has been hypothesized that ambient particulate air pollution is able to modify the autonomic nervous control of the heart, measured as heart rate variability (HRV) . Previously we reported heterogeneous associations between particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter < 2.5
Working in partnership to prevent and control the four noncommunicable diseases — cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancers and chronic respiratory diseases and the four shared risk factors - tobacco use, physical inactivity, unhealthy diets and the harmful use of alcohol.
For people living close to busy roads, traffic is a major source of air pollution. Few prospective data have been published on the effects of long-term exposure to traffic on the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD). In this article, the researchers examined the association between long-term traffic exposure and …
In this systematic review the researchers evaluated the evidence on the association between dioxin exposure and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in humans.
Diets heavy in fried foods, salty snacks and meat account for about 35 per cent of heart attacks globally, researchers reported on Monday. Their study of 52 countries showed that people who ate a
food Store bread without worry A new type of paper packaging made with cinnamon oil will preserve bread and other baked food by up to 10 days, say researchers of University of Zaragoza in Spain. Some scientists have earlier tried out various methods for fighting bread mold, a kind of …

Three more deer in Jamuna Eco Park in Sirajganj died on Saturday due to alleged carelessness of park authorities. With these the casualty figure rose to 15 so far, official sources said. Seven deer were released in the park during its inauguration on March 9 this year as part of …
Health effects of air pollutants worse in Asian cities economic boom in Asia has come with a price. Health effects of particulate pollutants in Asian cities are similar
The association of particulate matter (PM) with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is well documented. PM-induced ischemia is considered a potential mechanism linking PM to adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
We explored the association between acute changes in daily mean pulmonary artery (PA) and right ventricular (RV) pressures and concentrations of ambient fine particulate matter [PM with aerodynamic diameter ? 2.5 ?m (PM2.5)] as an explanation for previous associations between congestive heart failure (HF) hospital admissions and PM. In the …
The explosion of cardiovascular disease in India may not only be bad for the country's health, it could also be bad for its economy. If the surge continues, it could decrease India's productivity and overwhelm its already struggling public-health system, say experts.
Scotland's smoking ban appears to have prevented hundreds of heart attacks in its first year, a study shows. The number of people admitted to the hospital for heart attacks fell by 17% in the year after Scotland's smoking ban took effect in March 2006, according to a study in today's …
People in India may not know much about baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1960) in the US, but this generation has provided the majority of the country's leaders in politics, science, business and the arts.
