Rapports de recherche scientifique
Les vêtements individuels de protection (VIP) contribuent aux contraintes thermiques et physiologiques subies par les travailleurs. Or, ces contraintes constituent un problème préoccupant pour la santé et la sécurité, notamment pour les pompiers. D’ailleurs, les contraintes thermophysiologiques sont associées à un risque accru d’événements cardiovasculaires, qui représentent la cause la plus fréquente de décès chez les pompiers. L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer la réponse physiologique au port de VIP pour les pompiers, munis de deux membranes barrières humidifuges, dont l’une, ayant des propriétés de perméabilité à la vapeur d’eau et de transfert de chaleur améliorées. Un nouveau concept qui …
The Physiological Benefits Of A Plant-Based Diet On Cardiovascular Health, Jenevieve Petray
The Physiological Benefits Of A Plant-Based Diet On Cardiovascular Health, Jenevieve Petray
Nursing | Senior Theses
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasingly more prevalent in today’s society and is attributed to an alarming percentage of American hospitalizations and deaths. Americans are unhealthier than ever before, and the main contributor is the Western diet. Diet is a double-edged sword that can offer benefits or detriments to one’s health. CVD encompasses numerous diagnoses originating from various underlying physiological alterations. These alterations are downstream effects of increased body weight and BMI, increased cholesterol levels, decreased insulin sensitivity and increased arterial plaque buildup. Research shows that a plant-based diet has the potential to manage and reverse all fundamental physiological alterations that …
Biomarkers Of Inflammation In Heart Failure Patients With Reduced And Preserved Ejection Fractions: Multi-Ethnic Study Of Atherosclerosis, Michelle Lynne Stone
Biomarkers Of Inflammation In Heart Failure Patients With Reduced And Preserved Ejection Fractions: Multi-Ethnic Study Of Atherosclerosis, Michelle Lynne Stone
UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Purpose Examine the relationships between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and soluble tumor necrosis factor-α receptor-1 (sTNF-R1) and the cumulative risk of heart failure with reduced (HFrEF) and preserved (HFpEF) ejection fractions in a diverse, population-based sample. Methods Study sample included 6,814 adult (45-84 years of age) men and women who participated in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis and were free of cardiovascular disease at baseline. Cox regression was used to calculate the hazard ratios (HR) associated with elevated baseline hs-CRP (> 3-10 mg/L), IL-6 (> 75th percentile) and sTNF-R1 (> 75th percentile) and risk of overall …

Seniors Welcome! Avoiding The Trap Of Age Limits In Health Research, Arshad Jahangir
Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
The guest editor introduces this specialty issue of the Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews, which focuses on cardiovascular diseases in the elderly. The reality of an aging population has increased the need for better evidence-based medicine in older patients. However, randomized controlled trials frequently exclude such patients, especially those with comorbidities, from study. This practice ignores the fact that physiologic changes to the cardiovascular system caused by the aging process and aging-associated diseases create clinical dilemmas distinct from those in younger patients. Considering the rising costs of health care and growing incidence of cardiovascular disease, research efforts and …
