This phenomenon may be related to HIV disease itself, the use of antiretroviral medications and increased length of survival, or the synergism of these factors. In this study we have calculated the 10-year CHD risk estimate and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in a cohort of 118 … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSex Identification and the Sex-Related Genes of Nipponia NipponFeilong Sun, Xuanfu Huang, Shuiyun YangSex identification in birds is necessary for studying their ecology, behavior and population dynamics and structure. This study was carried out to determine the sex of Nipponia nippon by a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method. The sexing universal primers of non-ratite birds were employed to amplify the sexing related genes and identify the sex of each individual. A 657 bp … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 30 May 2017 · 7,841 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCardiac Patients’ Causal Attributions for Coronary Heart DiseaseLeila Gholizadeh, Yenna Salamonson, Mehrdad Heydari, Patricia M. DavidsonAccurate casual attributions for CHD have been associated with more congruent risk reduction behaviours and improved health outcomes. This article aimed to assess causal attributions for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) of Middle Eastern women diagnosed with heart disease using different risk targets and compare these attributions with participants’ actual. Using a survey methodology, 121 female patients in cardiac units of … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 20 Jul 2013 · 6,907 accessesView PDFCite

Mohammad, Sally Awawdeh, Akram Saleh, Nabil A. BashirProblem statement: Elevated plasma total homocysteine concentration is a risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Total homocysteine level is a strong predictor of mortality in-patient with an angiographically confirmed Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), so we want to know at what age in males and females elevated homocysteine will be significantly elevated and this will help for better management and prognosis by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlterations of HDL Subclasses in Different Lipid Levels of Men and WomenYuye Yang, Luchuan Yang, Mingde Fu et al.With the increase of plasma TG level, both in men and women, apoA-I concentrations of preβ1-HDL and HDL3a were significantly higher while HDL2a and HDL2b were significantly lower. Similarly, with the increase of plasma LDL-C level, apoA-Iconcentrations of preβ1-HDL, HDL3c(in men) and HDL3b were significantly higher while apoA-Iconcentrations of HDL2b were significantly lower.
