    Endotoxin (LPS) Theory Of Atherosclerosis (CVD)

    I posted a study more than year ago, which examined the role of NO in aging and disease. The Nitric Oxide (NO) Theory Of Aging One of the main endogenous stimulators of NO synthesis is endotoxin (LPS). It turns out that the connection between LPS and CVD has been studied for a long time in...

    Association Between Homocysteine Levels And All-cause Mortality

    http://twin.sci-hub.ac/68225acb9de5a6d1f3a7d3c2a5102cf2/fan2017.pdf It is important to explore whether Hcy levels were correlated with all-cause mortality. In the current meta-analysis, we identied that elevated Hcy levels were associated with the risk of all-cause mortality. Furthermore, the...

    Flagship Blood Thinner Worse Than Aspirin For Preventing Strokes, Trial Halted

    Many of you may have seen the ads on TV for the blood thinner Xarelto. Sadly, those ads have lately started to show increasingly younger people with apparent blood clotting issues, some of them clearly in their 20s. Xarelto is the latest attempt of the pharma industry to replace the old and...

    CNN: Saturated Fat Does NOT Clog Your Arteries; Stress And Inflammation Do

    I think we will be seeing more and more of these "breaking news" on major news outlets as the house of cards made of PUFA slowly crumbles. The FDA already reversed its official recommendations on cholesterol, but left the policies on saturated fat intact even though the same study on which the...

    Stroke Rates Have Almost Doubled In Young Adults

    I posted recently about two studies showing rapidly increasing incidence of colon cancer, and diabetes in young adults. At least for the colon cancer cases, the respective study itself stated that neither genes, nor obesity can explain the increase. Breaking News: Colorectal Cancer Rates In...

    NSAID Other Than Aspirin Strongly Increase Risk Of Cardiac Arrest, Heart Failure, And Stroke

    It has been know for at least 20 years that taking NSAID drugs other than aspirin increases risk of heart problems. The risk was considered low and even if materialized it was thought it would lead to relatively low grade heart attacks. However, this new study shows that the risk is higher than...

    Incidence of GI and brain bleeding events has been increasing over the last 30 years.Aspirin was blamed the increase of both the brain and GI bleeding events. Recent studies seem to have vindicated aspirin a bit, but the question remains about what is causing the increased incidence of brain and...

    Low-dose Glycine As Stroke Treatment In Humans

    The mainstream therapy for (non-hemorrhaging) stroke is a IV anticoagulants like warfarin, or a baby aspirin within the first few hours of getting stroke symptoms while the person is on her/his way to the hospital. These two studies show that sublingual glycine in a dose of 1g-2g within the...

    Low Sodium Diet Increases CVD / Death Regardless Of Person's Blood Pressure

    Another big point in favor of salt and this time the scientists actually provide salient explanation for why the low salt diet was detrimental - i.e. it increases renin, aldosterone and adrenaline. Pretty much what Peat wrote...about 30 years before this study. It also matches well another study...

    SSRI Drugs Increase Stroke Mortality In People With Diabetes

    The study was done on people with diabetes and the presumption was that it was the diabetes that gave them the stroke, not the SSRI. I, personally, dispute that assumption and think that the SSRI was responsible for both the increased stroke incidence and increased mortality from that stroke, as...

    An Aspirin A Day May Not Keep Dvt Away

    There has been a debate about Aspirin's effectiveness on treating and preventing blood clots. When one doctor says Aspirin treatment is as effective as heparin, warfarin, and new generation anti coagulants, other doctors say Aspirin is only effective to prevent ''arterial'' platelet aggregation...

    Cyproheptadine Prevents Brain Damage From Stroke

    The effect was dose dependent and higher doses of cyproheptadine completely prevented the nervous system damage caused by stroke. Bufotenin, a type of serotonin, prevented the protective effects of cyproheptadine indicating that damage in stroke conditions is at least partially mediated by...

    Working long hours increases risk of stroke and CVD

    The definition of "long" work hours will probably scare many people in the USA who regularly put in significantly more than 55 hours a week. A key point of the study was that the risk was highest in people who had "job strain" - i.e. a job with high demands but little control. In other words...
