Obesity is a significant contributor to respiratory disorders such as Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) and sleep apnea, both of which are characterized by reduced respiratory chemosensitivity. These conditions not only impair breathing but also exacerbate the health risks associated with obesity. Recent research from Rivera (2024) ...
In most cases, snoring is reduced with the use of nasal strips as it helps to improve the airflow through the nose. Adhesive based nasal strips gently lift the nasal walls, widening the breathing passages for better breathing throughout the night. Nasal strips work well when you are snoring due to nasal congestion or narrowing nasal ...
This function is particularly important in the context of metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Impaired endothelial function in muscle microvasculature can lead to reduced insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake, further exacerbating metabolic dysregulation. ...
For years, you’ve always been a sound sleeper. But lately, your partner or spouse has been waking you up throughout the night because your snoring is disturbing their sleep. So you’re probably asking yourself “Why am I snoring all of a sudden?” If you’ve always considered yourself a non-snorer, or if your partner or spouse has started complaining about the noise ...
If you’re one of the 45% of American adults who snores at least on an occasional basis, you may get teased about it. Snoring is no joke at all and may a warning sign of an even more serious underlying condition, or sleep apnea. If you’re a sleep apnea victim, your breathing can be interrupted for short periods of time while you sleep. Additionally, not just the snoring individual ...
By selectively altering the bacterial composition within the gut, researchers can potentially prevent the development or progression of certain diseases, like obesity, cancer and mental health disorders, thus presenting a new frontier in personalized medicine. ...
These symptoms can create further issues in children, as if they feel unwell, they are less likely to take part in physical activity, this then leads them to become deconditioned and at risk of obesity, which can make asthma worse. Poorly controlled asthma can also disturb sleep, which affects concentration, emotions and behaviour. ...
Not only that, improper lifestyle can also change hormone levels. Other factors such as obesity, lack of physical activities, smoking, and inordinate alcohol consumption have been directly linked to a greater risk of breast cancer. ...
Disturbances in metabolic pathways can lead to many common human diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, hypoglycemia, hypolipidemia, phenylketonuria, neurodegeneration, etc. ...
Dysbiosis of the intestinal flora is associated with a variety of human metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Regulation of lipoprotein metabolism by intestinal flora The intestine is not only a site of lipid digestion and absorption, but also a place where a large number of microorganisms reside. ...
By selectively altering the bacterial composition within the gut, researchers can potentially prevent the development or progression of certain diseases, like obesity, cancer and mental health disorders, thus presenting a new frontier in personalized medicine. ...
Diabetes is a common clinical disease, and with the improvement of living standards, an increase in the number of obese people, and the intensification of aging populations, the incidence of diabetes is increasing year by year. ...
For instance, alterations in bile acid profiles have been linked to conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. By scrutinizing the intricate signatures of bile acids, researchers unravel the intricate crosstalk between metabolism and health. ...
There are multiple metabolic disease models developed to assist in studying these complex disorders. For instance, diet-induced obesity (DIO) models help understand obesity and related metabolic disorders. ...
I recently had the pleasure of attending the IPEG annual meeting in Sorrento, Italy. The collegiality of the surgeons attending the conference was fantastic, and the views of Sorrento and the Island of Capri were stunning. With smaller accessible markets (due to smaller patient volumes and higher incidence of rare disease), specialty areas like pediatrics have been overlooked and under-addressed ...
Of this increase, 49.6 percent was driven by obesity trends and the remaining 50.4 percent was driven by demographic changes. ...
A single factor is not responsible for hypertension, but it is a result of several factors working together, such as: Obesity Smoking High in salt diet Alcohol consumption Stress etc. ...
In addition, our previous study also found that tetrahydrocurcumin has a good therapeutic effect on metabolic syndrome, obesity type 2 diabetes, hypertension, insulin resistance syndrome and other related diseases, and has a wide range of application prospects. 1.Hypoglycemic Effect Murugan P et al. induced type 2 diabetes mouse model with streptozocin, and then treated with ...
This type of inflammation specifically results from noncardiac metabolic risk factors, including obesity, diabetes, anemia, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), auto-immune diseases, and renal insufficiency. [4] Other Key Differences Between HFpEF and HFrEF: Risk Factors, Diagnosis, and Treatment Risk factors Molecular and cellular differences between ...
The prevalence of AF in HFpEF ranges from 15% to 40%,[26,27,28,29] and it seems to implicate a worse prognosis in patients with HFpEF than HFrEF.[30] If both heart failure and AF coexist, the risk for worse outcomes and hospitalizations increases significantly, with a two-fold increase in mortality.[31] AF and HFpEF appear to both be manifestations of a common underlying atrial and ventricular ...
