… immune systems. However, caution is warranted in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease and atherosclerosis. Improved macrophage functioning is particularly beneficial for patients in the early stages of atherosclerosis as it could contribute to eradicating fats and cellular debris and thereby reduce plaque formation. However, the study indicates that an increased production of inflammatory substances could be counterproductive in the later stages of the disease because it reduces plaque stability and may increase the risk of heart attack. This could help explain the disappointing results of the HDL therapy. In any case, this study shows that HDL activity is far more complex than …

… can be concluded that KD is an effective treatment that can decrease the total number of attacks, the number of cluster attacks and the severity of the attacks. Gastrointestinal issues are the most troubling symptom and tend to occur during the early stages of treatment. KD is well-tolerated with prolonged use. However, adults find it more difficult to follow the diet strictly. Incidentally, an EEG in individual patients is not an accurate predictor of who will benefit from this diet. … …

… Keywords : obesity, children, prevention How can professionals in Youth Healthcare help prevent obesity in children from birth? That is the key question in this study. It has been established that the early infancy period is a key life stage for the development of obesity in later life.

… disease can lead to the further development of chronic liver diseases, such as fibrosis, cirrhosis and, ultimately, liver failure. The only effective cure for liver failure is a liver transplant. This is why it's important to detect NASH at an early stage or to prevent it entirely. The current diagnostic methods used to detect NASH are invasive and extremely limited and there are very few options in terms of prevention. This dissertation offers promising new solutions for the prevention and …

Therefore, it is essential to monitor and treat these patients in an early stage. This dissertation also shows that the development of depression in patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease is associated with general risk factors for depression rather than disease-related aspects.
