Anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha therapy improves insulin sensitivity in normal-weight but not in obese patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(2012)
Introduction: Insulin resistance (IR), a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, is common among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Inflammation, and especially tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF ...
Obesity in rheumatoid arthritis
(2011)
Obesity is a major threat for public health and its study has attracted significant attention in the general population, predominantly due to its association with significant metabolic and cardiovascular complications. In ...
Individualised aerobic and resistance exercise training improves cardiorespiratory fitness and reduces cardiovascular risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(2013)
Background and objectives Low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a significant predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and interventions aiming at increasing CRF are known to reduce CVD risk. The effects of such ...
Prevalence of Low Bone Mineral Density in Female Dancers
(2015)
Background and Objective While some authors report that dancers have reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of osteoporosis, others have stressed the positive effects of dance training on developing healthy ...
What predicts obesity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis? An investigation of the interactions between lifestyle and inflammation
(2010)
Objective: To assess whether physical activity, diet or inflammation is a more important determinant of body mass index (BMI) and body fat (BF) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis ( RA). Methods: A total of 150 RA patients ...
Inverted BMI rather than BMI is a better proxy for percentage of body fat
(2011)
Background: Percentage of body fat (BF%) is a known risk factor for a range of healthcare problems but is difficult to measure. An easy to measure proxy is the weight/height(2) ratio known as the Body Mass Index (BMI ...
Prediction of (V) over dotO(2max) from a new field test based on portable indirect calorimetry
(2010)
We assessed the validity and reliability of the new 15 m square shuttle run test (SST) for predicting laboratory treadmill test (TT) maximal oxygen uptake ((V) over dotO(2max)) compared to the 20 in multistage shuttle run ...
Secondhand smoke exposure induces acutely airway acidification and oxidative stress
(2013)
Previous studies have shown that secondhand smoke induces lung function impairment and increases proinflammatory cytokines. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the acute effects of secondhand smoke on airway ...
Exposure to secondhand smoke promotes sympathetic activity and cardiac muscle cachexia
(2014)
Recent trials demonstrated that a single brief exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) generates acute adverse health effects. We evaluated the acute (immediately after exposure) and short-term (0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after ...
