The goal of this study was to see if Lipp Stress Control Training can help people with metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is defined by the presence of several risk factors such as glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, as well as poor diet, sedentariness, tobacco use, alcoholism, and excessive stress. The study included 45 older women with MetS who were between the ages of 60 and 75. Lipp Stress Control Training, comprising of eight two-hour sessions with five groups of eight persons, was provided to them once a week. After the session, stress levels were found to have fallen significantly (p=0.005). Before and after treatment, total cholesterol (p=0.012), LDL (p=0.0133), and triglycerides (p=0.05) were all significantly reduced in the group. Stress Control Training reduced some MetS risk factors, such as stress, and may have aided in the reduction of MetS components such as glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol. If the current conclusions ar...

Diabetes Type I and Type II have an increased risk of early atherosclerotic CVD, such as CHD and PAD [1], and it is well known that glucose control improves TG levels and cholesterol-lowering has beneficial effects on CVD outcomes in T1DM and T2DM.

Aims: To determine the effect of a cognitive-behavioral program on adherence to the antihypertensive therapeutic regimen of the elderly. Study Design: Quasi-experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: It was performed in the House of the Grandfather, nursing homes Juan de Celayeta and Beautiful Sunset San Juan Bosco rest house, all of Tepic, Nayarit, between April 2015 and May 2016. Methodology: We included 49 elderly people with arterial hypertension, in two groups: interventional and comparison, with written informed consent. Data collection was done with the questionnaire of therapeutic adherence for hypertension; blood pressure was measured with a portable aneroid sphygmomanometer. The cognitive behavioral intervention was performed on the intervention group based on psychoeducation and cognitive restructuring to improve adherence to the therapeutic regimen. Results: Both groups were similar in their sociodemographic characteristics. For therapeutic adherence, t...

Background Information: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are number one killer in the world among non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The principal underlying risk factor for CVDs is hypertension (HTN). Objectives: To identify the prevalence of hypertension, the stages of HTN and the related risk factors such as age, sex, smoking and body mass index (BMI) among the population in Khartoum locality, Sudan, 2014 Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was carried out in Khartoum locality during March- April 2014. A total of 948 adult individual were interviewed using structured questionnaire that was filled by medical officers, house officers and semi-final medical students. Blood pressure (BP) was measured twice with 5-6 minutes in-between. Hypertension was considered as ≥ 140 mmHg and ≥ 90 mmHg for systole and diastole BP respectively. The international classification of BMI was used for underweight, normal, overweight and obesity. Analysis: Prevalence of HT...

Hypertensive  disorders  in  pregnancy  are  a  leading  cause  of  peripartum  morbidity  and  mortality. Preeclampsia is a heterogeneous maternal syndrome. Large  studies  have  pointed  out  the  association  of  impaired  spiral  artery  remodeling  at  the fetomaternal interphase in preeclampsia, but how exactly is the fetomaternal dialogue mediated and what are the biomarkers to detect the subclinical disease in various subsets of high-risk pregnancies is  still  a  challenge.  These  biomarkers  can  finally  be  used  to  diagnose  renal  function  (Kallikrein-creatinine ratio), vascular resistance (uterine artery Doppler), coagulation disorders (platelet volume, fibronectin,  prostacyclin,  thromboxane,  oxidant  stress  (lipid  peroxidase,  8-isopr...
