Formulation and Quality Evaluation of Sesame Seed Based Non-Dairy Milk Alternative (2022)

Non-dairy milk alternatives are defined as dissolved and disintegrated plant extracts of cereals, millets, pseudo cereals, legumes, nuts and oil seeds that resemble bovines’ milk in appearance and consistency. In recent years, consumers opting for non-dairy milk alternative are gradually increasing due to medical and ethical reasons. Sesame seeds are the most underutilized and low maintenance crop with abundant health benefits and functional properties. In spite of its superior nutritional quali

Trends in Blood Pressure and High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin-T With Cardiovascular Disease: The Cardiovascular Health Study (2019)

Abstract Background High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is individually associated with incident hypertension (HTN) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. We hypothesize that the increases in hs-cTnT with increases in blood pressure will be related to higher incidence of CVD. METHODS The Cardiovascular Health Study is a longitudinal cohort of older adults. Those wit

Reducing linear thermal bridging in passive house details (2021)

This Major Research Project focuses on reducing the linear thermal bridging coefficient (ψ-value) in junction details in Passive Houses in North America. By analyzing a sample of details from existing Passive Houses in North America, the range of ψ-values was found to be between -0.154 and 0.124 W/mK. A process was outlined to lower the ψ-value in junction details. Strategies that can be used to reduce the ψ-value include: localized overcladding, thermal breaks, alternative material, and alter

Age and ageing cardiovascular collection: blood pressure, coronary heart disease and heart failure (2022)

Abstract As people age they are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Understanding cardiovascular ageing is essential to preserving healthy ageing and preventing serious health outcomes. This collection of papers published in Age and Ageing since 2011 cover key themes in cardiovascular ageing, with a separate collection on stroke and atrial fibrillation planned. Treating high blood pressure remains impo

Measuring only sitting blood pressure without considering supine blood pressure underestimates cardiovascular risk in the elderly (2024)

Abstract Background and Objective Elderly individuals exhibit greater variability in blood pressure (BP) readings between sitting and supine positions. Nocturnal hypertension (supine position) is closely associated with cardiovascular diseases and mortality. However, the relationship between supine BP and cardiovascular risk remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular ev

Anthracycline Chemotherapy and Its Acute Cardiovascular Impact: A Tanzanian Quasi- Experimental Study on Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Variations (2024)

Abstract Background Effect of anthracyclines on the autonomic nervous system is linked to changes in blood pressure and heartrate. Such changes may predict future cardiac failure and other cardiovascular complications which may be influenced by other risk factors such as race. However, little has been conducted on this topic within African population. Objectives To determine the immediate anthracycline-related blood pressure and heart rate changes as signs of acute autonomic nervous syst

Predictive Value of Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, and Blood Pressure/Heart Rate Ratio in a Chinese Subpopulation with Vasovagal Syncope (2021)

Objective: The head-up tilt test (HUTT) is widely used but is time-consuming and not cost-effective to evaluate patients with vasovagal syncope (VVS). The present study aims to verify the hypothesis that ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM) and the simplistic tilt test may be potential alternatives to the HUTT. Methods: The study consecutively enrolled 360 patients who underwent the HUTT to evaluate VVS. BP), heart rate (HR), and BP/HR ratios derived from ABPM and the simplistic ti
