Role of nutritional indices in predicting outcomes of vascular surgery by Jabbour, Jana

“…Background Malnutrition is frequent among vascular surgery patients, given their age, chronic comorbidities, and poor functional status, and it is believed to increase their operative risk. We aimed to assess the combined use of recent significant weight loss (>10% body mass) and serum albumin levels as a nutritional status index to predict outcomes. …”

Qatar’s immigrants at higher risk of diabetes by Nature Research (16552612)

“…Because T2D is often associated with obesity, one might predict that the Arab participants, who had, on average, markedly higher body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference measures than the others, would exhibit high levels of glycated haemoglobin. The results, however, suggest that Qatar’s immigrant population has a significantly increased risk of having undiagnosed T2D, and that glycated haemoglobin levels could be a useful diagnostic tool for early detection of the disease. …”

Project Productivity vs. Health & Safety by Wilson, Stephen

The sympathetic baroreflex is enhanced during emotional stress in rats by Kanbar, Roy

“…Under both conditions, baroreflex function curves relating AP and RSNA were constructed by fitting a sigmoid function to RSNA and AP measured during sequential nitroprusside and phenylephrine administrations. Air-jet stress significantly (P<0.01) increased the mean levels of AP (from 112 +/- 2 to 124 +/- 2 mmHg), heart rate (from 381 +/- 10 to 438 +/- 18 beats/min) and RSNA (from 0.80 +/- 0.14 to 1.49 +/- 0.23 microV). …”
