With age her symptoms became more severe, turning into bronchitis and eventually asthma, diminishing her ability to breathe and sapping her of her energy. The only complete relief came from aspirin; and the aspirin desensitization that allowed her to overcome her aspirin allergy and end her decades-extended battle with sinusitis. John R...

Resistin: Functional roles and therapeutic considerations for cardiovascular disease

by on 24. Mar, 2011 in Health

AbstractResistin, originally described as an adipocyte‐specific hormone, has been suggested to be an vital link between obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes. Although its expression was initially defined in adipocytes, significant levels of resistin expression in humans are mainly found in mononuclear leukocytes, macrophages, spleen and bone marrow cells. Increasing evidence indicates that resistin plays vital regulatory roles apart from its role in insulin resistance and diabetes in a variety of biological processes: atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD), non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease, autoimmune disease, malignancy, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease and chronic kidney disease. Since CVD accounts for a significant amount …

Publication of recruitment methods in focus group research of minority populations with chronic disease: a systematic review.

by on 23. Feb, 2011 in Health

Authors: Ndumele CD, Ableman G, Russell BE, Gurrola E, Hicks LS
Abstract:The relative effectiveness of strategies to recruit minority patients, populations traditionally dense to engage in research, for focus groups is unclear. We conducted a systematic review of all peer-reviewed focus collection studies targeting Black and/or Hispanic participants with diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and/or cardiovascular disease reported in Pubmed, MEDLINE, and CINAHL from January 1993 through August 2009. Reviewers extracted data on each study's characteristics, methods, and outcomes. Forty-five studies were eligible. While most described recruitment strategies, only 21 presented any metric of their success in recruiting participants. Among studies with …
