Crohn's disease (CD) progression is marked by the occurrence of stricturing complications or intestinal and perianal penetrating complications, typically requiring surgery.1,2 We previously reported three factors at the time of diagnosis that increased the chance of disabling disease during the 5 years following: (1) age <40 years old, (2) presence of perianal lesions and (3) the …
There is now a large body of evidence indicating a strong and consistent increased risk of incident cancer associated with diabetes ().For type 2 diabetes, the strength of the association depends on the specific cancer site, with the strongest relationships observed for liver and pancreatic cancers, followed by endometrial, postmenopausal breast, colorectal, …
They were also asked to avoid overseas travel for the period of the study because of the impact this may have on diet. Venous blood samples (~10 mL) were collected at the beginning and end of the study for biochemical analysis (Chem-20). ... Br J Nutr, 111 (2014), pp. 1945-1956. View Record in Scopus Google Scholar.
Objectives: To examine the prospective associations between consumption of sugar sweetened beverages, artificially sweetened beverages, and fruit juice with type 2 diabetes before and after adjustment for adiposity, and to estimate the population attributable fraction for type 2 diabetes from consumption of sugar sweetened beverages in the United States and United Kingdom.
Br J Psychiatry. 2010;196(2):116-121. ... Given that several antipsychotic drugs may worsen glucose regulation, 63,64 there is thus a responsibility placed on the treating clinician to select an appropriate antipsychotic at an appropriate dose so as to limit the metabolic impact of treatment. Furthermore, the association between schizophrenia ...
Over the past few decades, a tremendous amount of work has been done on the molecular characterization of transport proteins in animals and humans, leading to a better understanding of the physiological roles of a number of transport proteins. Furthermore, there is increasing preclinical and clinical evidence to support the importance of transport proteins in …
Of all the teas studied, green tea produces the highest level of antioxidant activity and black tea the lowest .Lee et al. also found the antioxidant capacity per serving of green tea (436 mg vitamin C equivalents) to be much higher than that of black tea (239 mg). Thus green tea possesses the strongest cardioprotective effects,, .The total catechin concentration in blood …
Opioid use disorder (OUD) is defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (fifth edition) 1 as the maladaptive use of opioids, prescribed or illicit, resulting in two or more criteria that reflect impaired health or function over a 12-month period. OUD is scaled according to severity (mild/moderate/severe) and does not require physiological tolerance or dependence in ...
More than 5 million deaths a year are attributable to tobacco smoking, but attempts to help people either quit or reduce their smoking often fail, perhaps in part because the intention to quit activates brain networks related to craving. We recruited participants interested in general stress reduction and randomly assigned them to meditation training or a relaxation …

Capsaicin, the phytochemical responsible for the spiciness of peppers, has the potential to modulate metabolism via activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptors, which are found not only on nociceptive sensory neurons, but also in a range of other tissues. TRPV1 activation induces calcium influx, and in certain tissues this is associated with …

The hypothesis that neurobiological rewards motivate human endurance exercise (Ekkekakis et al., 2005; Sher, 1998) is consistent with evidence that humans are highly adept endurance athletes (Bramble and Lieberman, 2004; Carrier, 1984).For example, humans possess anatomical specializations and demonstrate endurance athletic performance (e.g. speed and distance …
CRBN, a substrate receptor of CUL4-RBX1-DDB1-CRBN (CRL4CRBN) E3 ubiquitin ligase, is a direct target for thalidomide teratogenicity and antitumor activity of immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) in multiple myeloma (MM) and other hematologic malignancies. IMiDs bind CRBN to recruit neosubstrates for ubiquitylation and subsequent degradation. …
The British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology is a leading international clinical pharmacology journal published by the British Pharmacological Society. It bridges the gap between the medical profession, clinical research and the pharmaceutical industry by addressing all aspects of drug action in humans: invited review articles, original papers and correspondence.
Objectives To compare hospitalisation rates, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and mortality for patients with COVID-19 who were consistently inactive, doing some activity or consistently meeting physical activity guidelines. Methods We identified 48 440 adult patients with a COVID-19 diagnosis from 1 January 2020 to 21 October 2020, with at least three exercise vital sign …
Thus, the 1-h before bedtime may represent a window during which the circadian system is sensitive to perturbations (i.e., suppression of melatonin and phase delays) (Khalsa et al. 2003). Recently published data demonstrate that adults are sensitive to the effects of electronic media use in the 1-h before bedtime (Chang et al. 2015 ).
Obesity is becoming one of the global epidemics of the 21st century. In this study, the effects of citrange (Citrus sinensis × Poncirus trifoliata) fruit extracts in high-fat (HF) diet-induced obesity mice were studied. C57BL/6 mice were fed respectively a chow diet (control), an HF diet, HF diet supplemented with 1% w/w citrange peel extract (CPE) or 1% …
Purpose The goal of this meta-analysis was to aggregate available empirical studies on the effects of physical exercise on executive functions in preadolescent children (6–12 years of age), adolescents (13–17 years of age) and young adults (18–35 years of age). Method The electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE and SPORTDiscus were searched for relevant studies reporting …
