Background The Brain Health Test-7 (BHT-7) was developed to identify patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia. Here we report the validity of BHT-7 versus Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in subjects different psychiatry or neurology clinics. Method Patients chief complaint memory decline were recruited this study from outpatient ...

OBJECTIVE To develop a food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) useful for ranking of nutrient intakes. DESIGN Subjects consuming their regular diet completed 7 days of weighed intake registry (7-WIR). Foods for the FFQ were selected by stepwise multiple regression. The FFQ was then completed for each subject using data on individual food consumption from the 7-WIR. The correlation and agreement be...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a common but serious public health problem in developed countries. Chronic inflammation plays a key role in MS. Interleukins (IL)-7 and 8 are considered to have proinflammatory effects and may be involved in the pathogenesis of MS. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine gene expression level of IL-7 and IL-8 in peripheral blood monon...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the relationship between regular physical activity, as assessed by accelerometer and 7-day physical activity recall (PAR), and plasma fibrinogen concentrations. METHODS A cross-sectional study in a previously established cohort of healthy subjects was performed. This study analyzed 1284 subjects who were included in the EVIDENT study (mean age 55.0±13.6 years; 60.90% wome...

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a genetic disorder characterized by low plasma cholesterol and high 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC). Synthesis of cholesterol and 7-DHC and its metabolites is regulated by HMG-CoA reductase, whose activity can be measured by 24-h excretion of its product mevalonate. We devised a simple, non-invasive method for collecting 24-h urine in our subjects. With a backg...

Analysis of the anti-haemagglutinin serum antibody proteome from six H1N1pdm09 influenza A vaccinated subjects demonstrated restricted IgG1 heavy chain species encoded by IGHV5-51 and IGHV3-7 gene families in 2 subjects and either IGHV5-51 or IGHV3-7 in 4 individuals. All subjects exhibited a dominant IGKV3-20 light chain, however 5 subjects also exhibited IGKV3-11 and IGKV4-1 families. Sequenc...
