Diseases of the heart and of the lung remain the bane of India's disease burden, being the top two causes of the deaths, respectively as shown by the recently released WHO World Health Statistics Report, 2016. Ischemic heart Disease (IHD) killed 1215400 people in 2012, 12.4 per cent of total …
Alternative splicing (AS) defects that adversely affect gene expression and function have been identified in diabetic hearts; however, the mechanisms responsible are largely unknown. Here, we show that the RNA-binding protein RBFOX2 contributes to transcriptome changes under diabetic conditions. RBFOX2 controls AS of genes with important roles in heart function …
The U.S. death rate rose slightly last year—the first increase in a decade, health officials reported Wednesday. Researchers think the increase is due to a combination of factors. The death rate from heart disease—the nation's leading killer—leveled off, instead of dropping the way it usually does. Meanwhile, deaths rates for …
Hypertension is a major disease of burden worldwide. Previous studies have indicated that air pollution might be a risk factor for hypertension, but the results were controversial. To fill this gap, we performed a meta-analysis of epidemiological studies to investigate the associations of short-term and long-term exposure to ambient air …
Long-term exposure to air pollution is likely to increase the risk of heart disease, says a new study. The findings showed that air pollution accelerates the progression of atherosclerosis -- the condition called hardening of the arteries, which can cause heart attacks. People living in areas with more outdoor pollution, …
A new 10-year epidemiological study of over 6,000 people from six U.S. states reveals that air pollution, even below regulatory standard levels, can hasten the progression of atherosclerosis or the hardening of arteries, which can lead to heart attack. It has been previously known that long exposures to particulate matter …
Evidence from recent decades supports a causal association between air pollution (particulate matter <10 μ m in diameter [PM10] and PM <2.5 μ m in diameter [PM2.5]) and oxidative stress, possibly involving impaired metabolism of glucose and lipids. Original Source
Excessive ozone gas has become the prime pollution problem in Beijing in recent days, replacing the notorious PM2.5, and it's likely to linger for a couple of days, the capital's environmental monitoring authority said on Monday. Because of the sunshine, many residents may not have noticed that ozone reached an …
The objective of the study was to determine whether higher intake of baked or boiled potatoes, French fries, or potato chips is associated with incidence of hypertension. Original Source
During the past decade, the incidence and mortality associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the United States have decreased substantially. However, it is unknown whether these improvements were consistent across communities of different economic status and geographic regions since efforts to improve cardiovascular disease prevention and management may have …
`Have Less Muscle And More Fat' Adults may not be the only ones prone to heart ailments, newborns are equally at risk. Newborns in India have high fat inside abdomen leading to higher risk of heart diseases from birth itself, according to a study. Findings of the cohort study , …
Computers emit radiation that can cause many ailments People working in a closed office environment, where there are many computers, are at risk of sustained radiation exposure, which can cause several ailments including asthma, doctors have warned on the eve of World Asthma Day. Computers emit both low-frequency and radio-frequency …
It is generally acknowledged that e-cigarettes are unlikely to be as harmful as conventional cigarettes, but there is little data that quantifies their relative harms. We investigated the biological response to e-cigarette aerosol exposure (versus conventional cigarette smoke exposure) at the cellular level, by exposing human coronary artery endothelial cells …
U.S. researchers said Thursday they turned skin cells into heart cells and brain cells using just a combination of chemicals, a breakthrough that may lay the foundation for one day regenerating lost or damaged cells with pharmaceutical drugs. All previous work on cellular reprogramming required adding external genes to the …
Those who suffer from heart diseases should follow a 'Mediterranean' diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, fish and unrefined foods to lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes, a new study has revealed. Researchers examined over 15,000 patients with stable coronary heart disease in 39 countries. The study, published in …
Rocket science may not be able to fix broken hearts, but very soon technology mastered at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) may be able to help patients who are in need for a heart transplant. Materials and mechanisms used on Indian rockets have been tweaked by ISRO to make …
