The document summarizes a study conducted in Vietnam that investigated the risk of road traffic injury after alcohol consumption. The study used a case-crossover design and analyzed 480 male patients admitted to the emergency department with traffic injuries. It found that 45.6% of patients had a blood alcohol concentration of over 0.15g/dL, showing alcohol to be a major factor in traffic injuries in Vietnam. The risk of injury was found to increase significantly with higher amounts of alcohol consumed. The study concludes that a multi-sector approach is urgently needed to address the problem of drink-driving in Vietnam.Major Findings of Nepal NCDs Risk Factors STEPS Survey 2019.pdf

The JUPITER trial was stopped early due to clear evidence of benefit from rosuvastatin treatment. The trial aimed to test whether rosuvastatin could reduce cardiovascular events in apparently healthy people with normal LDL cholesterol but high hsCRP. Over 17,000 participants were randomized to rosuvastatin 20mg or placebo. After almost 2 years, rosuvastatin showed a highly significant 44% reduction in the primary cardiovascular endpoint compared to placebo, demonstrating its benefit in primary prevention. This clear benefit led to the trial being stopped early.exercise as determinant prevention of high blood pressure in container crane ...

Metabolic syndrome (Mets) is a multiple risk factor for coronary heart disease, diabetes, and several organ malfunctions that comes up from insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunctions caused of abnormal adipose deposition. One of the component criteria of metabolic syndrome is elevated blood pressure. Unhealthy lifestyle and sedentary physical activity are considered to have relationship with metabolic syndrome incidents in workers. This study aimed to analyze smoking habit, regular exercise and familys medical history associated with blood pressure using International Diabetic Federation Criteria for Mets in a container crane operators population.

It discusses controversies around using androgen deprivation therapy alone versus tri-modality treatment with surgery, radiotherapy and ADT. Clinical trial data is presented showing improved survival with radiotherapy alone or with ADT compared to ADT alone. Challenges with surgery are noted along with long term functional outcomes data with radiotherapy. The importance of a multi-disciplinary approach and shared decision making is emphasized. While further randomized controlled trial data is still needed, the document argues against avoiding radiotherapy in high risk prostate cancer treatment.Dyslipedemia_Management_Dr_Gaurav_chaudhary.pptx

1) Mediterranean and high-quality diets were found to significantly lower cardiovascular disease risk based on randomized controlled trials, with risk ratios ranging from 0.55 to 0.70.
2) Intakes of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were associated with reduced cardiovascular disease risk in two reviews of randomized trials, but evidence for other fatty acids was inconsistent.

For decades, physicians and dentists have paid close attention to their own respective fields, specializing in medicine pertaining to the body and the oral cavity, respectively. However, recent findings have strongly suggested that oral health may be indicative of systemic health. Currently, this gap between allopathic medicine and dental medicine is quickly closing, due to significant findings supporting the association between periodontal disease and systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and osteoporosis. Significant effort has brought numerous advances in revealing the etiological and pathological links between this chronic inflammatory dental disease and these other conditions. Therefore, there is reason to hope that the strong evidence from these studies may guide researchers towards greatly improved treatment of periodontal infection that would also ameliorate these systemic illnesses. Hence, researchers must continue not only to uncover more information about the correlations between periodontal and systemic diseases but also to focus on positive associations that may result from treating periodontal disease as a means of ameliorating systemic diseases.Coughlin_IAFP_Food chemical risk assessment_August 2013

This study examined the effects of metabolic syndrome and atherosclerotic risk factors on blood sugar control in 200 diabetic patients in Thailand. The results showed that patients with a higher number of metabolic syndrome components, such as hypertension, obesity, high triglycerides, and low HDL, had greater difficulty controlling their blood sugar. Younger patients and those who did not regularly attend the diabetic clinic were also more likely to have uncontrolled blood sugar. While atherosclerotic risk factors like smoking and family history were associated with worse control, the relationship was inconclusive due to the study's small sample size. In conclusion, metabolic syndrome components and younger age were linked to challenges with blood sugar management in diabetic patients.MyRISQ

The shoulder complex acts as in coordinated fashion to provide the smoothest and greatest range of motion possible of the upper limb.
Combined motion of GH and ST joint of shoulder complex helps in:
Distribution of motion between other two joints.
Maintenance of glenoid fossa in optimal position.
Maintenance of good length tension
Although some amount of glenohumeral motion may occur while the other shoulder articulations remain stabilized, movement of the humerus more commonly involves some movement at all three shoulder joints.
