Abstract Dietary recommendations are developed from the best available scientific evidence on the effect of nutrients and food on health. These recommendations take into account that the effect of food depends not only on its nutritional content but also on the matrix in which is ingested, the alterations during the culinary process, the presence of ...

Mortality in Elderly Patients Taking Furosemide: Prospective Cohorts Study
Objectives. Low blood pressure (BP) has been proposed as a risk factor of death in elderly patients. However, this association could be partially accounted for by the deleterious effects of BP‐lowering drugs. We analyzed whether these drugs are associated to an increased risk of death in elderly patients taking multiple potential confounders into ...

Neutrophil-Lymphocytes Ratio as Potential Early Marker for Alzheimer's Disease. [PDF]
Background. Neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a noninvasive, inexpensive, and easily applicable marker of inflammation. Since immune dysregulation leading to inflammation is regarded as a hallmark of dementia, in particular Alzheimer’s disease (AD), we decided to investigate the potentials of NLR as a diagnostic and predictive biomarker in this ...

Oxidative Stress Indexes for Diagnosis of Health or Disease in Humans
Oxidative stress (OS) is the imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant molecules, in favor of oxidants, that causes aging and disease. Many studies have been published that demonstrate the relationship between OS and human health and disease; however, the following questions arise: (i) how are we sure that the OS is present in a biological process? (ii)
