Non-Communicable Disease Risk Factors among Employees and Their Families of a Saudi University: An Epidemiological Study

Abstract

OBJECTIVES:

To assess the prevalence of noncommunicable disease (NCD) risk factors among Saudi university employees and theirfamilies; to estimate the cardiovascular risk (CVR) amongst the study population in the following 10years.

METHODS:

Different impact of long-detection interval and anti-tachycardia pacing in reducing unnecessary shocks: data from the ADVANCE III trial.

Abstract

AIMS:

A long-detection interval (LDI) (30/40 intervals) has been proved to be superior to a standard-detection interval (SDI) (18/24 intervals) in terms of reducing unnecessary implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapies. To better evaluate the different impact of LDI and anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) on reducing painful shocks, we assessed all treated episodes in the ADVANCE III trial.

METHODS AND RESULTS:

Periodontal Disease Pathogenesis

Periodontal disease is progressive and episodic in nature, with tissue
destruction resulting from the host response to bacterial antigens and irritants.
Risk factors encompass systemic influences, external influences,
intrinsic factors and local factors. An individual patient’s responsiveness
to treatment also depends on the host response and the presence of risk
factors.

Update on Anterior Segment Development

Abstract The ocular anterior segment structures are derived from periocular mesenchyme, which consists of neural crest cells and cranial paraxial mesoderm. Many embryological facts have been developed based on the fates of neural crest and mesoderm in mice and in chick. The interactions between the ocular mesenchyme and the surface ectoderm derived cells are also essential for the coordination of anterior segment development. These interactions are mediated by several transcription factors expressed in both the epithelial and mesenchymal cells and are being extensively studied.
