Abstract Introduction Position dependent obstructive sleep apnea (PdOSA) is highly prevalent, but the implication of PdOSA in cardiovascular (CV) outcomes has not been studied. We hypothesized that associated with lower risk future CV events than those without PdOSA. Methods included patients who underwent diagnostic polysomnography (PSG) at a single academic center. The study ≥2 hours total ti...

Drinking arsenic contaminated groundwaters is a critical and common pathway for arsenic, notably in India other countries circum-Himalayan region.

BACKGROUND The benefits of reducing blood pressure on the risks of major cardiovascular disease are well established, but uncertainty remains about the comparative effects of different blood-pressure-lowering regimens. We aimed to estimate effects of strategies based on different drug classes (angiotensin-converting-enzyme [ACE] inhibitors, calcium antagonists, angiotensin-receptor blockers [AR...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of smoking in diabetic patients remains high, and reliable quantification of the excess mortality and morbidity risks associated with smoking is important for diabetes management. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies to evaluate the relation of active smoking with risk of total mortality and cardiovascular events among diabet...
