Prediction of proliferative diabetic retinopathy with hemoglobin level.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of hemoglobin (HGB) level in predicting proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). METHODS: We assessed 426 individuals without PDR at baseline (213 men; 213 women) from the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes ... Read more...

Mediterranean-style diet effect on the structural properties of the erythrocyte cell membrane of hypertensive patients: the Prevencion con Dieta Mediterranea Study.

3 Oct 2009 A currently ongoing randomized trial has revealed that the Mediterranean diet, rich in virgin olive oil or nuts, reduces systolic blood pressure in high-risk cardiovascular patients. Here, we present a structural substudy to assess the effect of a ... Read more...
