Stability of Ascorbic Acid in Several Blood Collecting Procedures
2003
Purpose: There is good evidence that ascorbic acid (AA) status influences the onset of post-operative complications in intensive care patients. Light and room temperature cause the spontaneous oxidation of AA. Therefore, the stability of AA during modified sample preparation was investigated. Design: Prospective, single centre study. Methods: The AA plasma concentration was analysed in arterial and venous blood with added ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) from 165 subjects. In addition, EDTA or heparin was added as an anticoagulant in venous blood of 79 subjects. Analyses were carried out using high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. Results: In samples of…

Gastric Banding for Treatment of Morbid Obesity: Preliminary Results.
1995
Background: gastric banding (GB) has been used for treatment of morbid obesity. Methods: a banding device, introduced by Broadbent and consisting of a self-blocking nylon strip covered with a silicone tube, was used in 13 patients who have completed 1-year follow-up. This device was used for its mechanical properties, biocompatibility, ease of insertion and low cost. Results: at 1 year, mean excess weight loss was 51.6%, with all but one patient losing more than 25% of excess weight. Associated illnesses resolved. There were two complications (15%): one patient required band removal for self-induced vomiting and one patient required repair of an incisional hernia. Conclusions: GB has had go…
The Mediterranean Diet and Cardiovascular Epidemiology
2006
The Mediterranean diet was first considered to be a low-saturated fat diet that conveyed protection against coronary heart disease by lowering plasma total cholesterol levels. Later, the emphasis shifted away from the low-saturated-fat content of this diet toward its high content of olive oil and its overall constellation of characteristics. Moreover, there is now evidence that the Mediterranean diet benefits not only the risk for coronary heart disease but also cancer occurrence, total mortality, and longevity.
Inclusión de la inyección percutánea de etanol como primera línea de tratamiento de los quistes tiroideos sintomáticos
2021
Abstract Background Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy and security of ultrasound-guided percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (US-PEIT) for the treatment of recurrent symptomatic thyroid cysts in two high-resolution consultations of thyroid nodule in the Valencian Community. Patients and methods The study comprised thirty-three consecutive patients (51 ± 12 years, 76% women) with symptomatic benign thyroid cysts relapsed after drainage and benign cytology prior to treatment. Through ultrasound, maximum cyst diameter and volume were determined, and the content of the cyst was drained. We then instilled between 2 and 4 ml of ethanol (according to initial volume). We followed up with ultra…

Effect of oral magnesium supplementation on physical performance in healthy elderly women involved in a weekly exercise program: A randomized control…
2014
Background: Magnesium deficiency is associated with poor physical performance, but no trials are available on how magnesium supplementation affects elderly people’s physical performance. Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate whether 12 wk of oral magnesium supplementation can improve physical performance in healthy elderly women. Design: In a parallel-group, randomized controlled trial, 139 healthy women (mean 6 SD age: 71.5 6 5.2 y) attending a mild fitness program were randomly allocated to a treatment group (300 mg Mg/d; n = 62) or a control group (no placebo or intervention; n = 77) by using a computer-generated randomization sequence, and researchers were blinded to their …
