Effects of oral lycopene supplementation on vascular function in patients with cardiovascular disease and healthy volunteers: a randomised controlled trial.

PLoS ONE, 2014
AimsThe mechanisms by which a 'Mediterranean diet' reduces cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden remain poorly understood. Lycopene is a potent antioxidant found in such diets with evidence suggesting beneficial effects.

Double whammy: Delayed cerebral ischemia of a 19-year-old secondary to sinogenic complications from an uncommon bacterial sinusitis, Arcanobacterium haemolyticum

Radiology Case Reports
Arcanobacterium haemolyticum, found as normal flora in healthy individuals, is an unusual culprit for pharyngitis and sinusitis in young adults, rarely leading to severe infections. Here, we present a singular case involving a 19-year-old immunocompetent

The role of T‐type calcium channels in elderly human vascular function: A pilot randomized controlled trial

Experimental Physiology
Endothelial dysfunction develops with age and may precede cardiovascular disease. Animal data suggest that T‐type calcium channels play an important role in endothelial function, but data from humans are lacking. This study included 15 healthy, sedentary,
