While salt - induced hypertension is typically blamed as a cause of heart disease, a low salt intake is associated
with higher mortality from cardiovascular events.
UPV / EHU researchers have developed a method for the diagnosis and prognosis of cutaneous melanoma, the type of skin
cancer with the highest mortality rate.This method will help not only in the more effective early detection of this cancer, but also in the development of more personalized treatments.
In the meantime I have asked the NHS Medical Director — Professor Sir Bruce Keogh — to conduct an immediate investigation into the care of
hospitals with the highest mortality rates...
Ebola virus causes severe hemorrhagic fever in humans and nonhuman
primates with high mortality rates and continues to emerge in new geographic locations, including West Africa, the site of the largest outbreak to date.

Hendra with a high mortality rate in bats and humans in a zone stretching from Australia to Bangladesh.
«Although the number of patients who developed TR after MV repair was small in our study, the effect of severe TR was
devastating with a high mortality at one year after the diagnosis, which usually occurred during an episode of heart failure,» commented Dr. David.
Decision by sampling could even sway your choice when you face more immediate threats: people living in a
society with high mortality rates are more likely to decide to put themselves at risk than someone who has had little experience of danger.
In a large study population followed for more than three decades, researchers found that higher consumption of saturated and trans fats was
linked with higher mortality compared with the same number of calories from carbohydrates.
Scientists exposed animals to M1 protein, which is a potent virulence factor derived from a subgroup of Streptococcus pyogenes that are associated
with a high mortality upon infection.
«Anorexia remains the psychiatric
disorder with the highest mortality rate, and there is an urgent need to develop safe, effective, evidence - driven treatments that are informed by a growing understanding of brain circuitry,» said study author, Professor Andres Lozano, University of Toronto, Canada.
The students are employing that technology — which includes CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) systems, DNA microarrays, real - time polymerase chain reactions, RNA sequencing and western blotting — to study acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which affects both children and adults and
comes with a high mortality rate for older patients.
Most of the ten countries in sub-Saharan
Africa with the highest mortality rates have seen recent complex emergencies including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and others.
In one study, producers identified respiratory problems as the cause of more than half of all nursery pig deaths.1
Along with high mortality rates, complex SRD also can hurt production because of lower feed efficiency, higher cull rates and higher treatment costs.
A new study from the University of Illinois reports that including broccoli in the diet may also protect against liver cancer, as well as aid in countering the development of fatty liver or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) which can cause malfunction of the liver and lead to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a liver
cancer with a high mortality rate.
And while researchers again found that excessive salt intake was associated with an increase in systolic high blood pressure, they found that a low - sodium diet was significantly associated
with higher mortality from cardiovascular causes:
«All patients of all races do better at the trauma centers treating white majority populations, so this research tells us we need to direct attention to
hospitals with higher mortality rates to help them improve their outcomes, or we won't ever be able to turn this around.»
Ebola virus causes severe hemorrhagic fever in humans and nonhuman
primates with high mortality rates and continues to emerge in new geographic locations, including Western Africa, the site of the largest recorded outbreak to date.
«We thought they'd realize we've found an effective drug for treating an underserved
group with a high mortality rate from heart disease,» Cohn says.
Accumulating evidence makes increasingly clear that sedentary behaviour (too much sitting, as distinct from too little exercise), assessed as daily sitting time, leisure - time sitting, time spent sitting in cars or television viewing time, is
associated with higher mortality risk — particularly from cardiovascular disease.
«Although in this study we found that higher total carbohydrate and total sugar were associated
with higher mortality in head and neck cancer patients, because of the study design we can't say that there's a definitive cause - effect relationship,» lead author Anna Arthur, a professor of food science and human nutrition at the University of Illinois, said in a statement.
A high milk intake in both sexes is associated
with higher mortality and fracture rates and with higher levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarkers
Interestingly, a separate study of Japanese adults (between 40 - 79 years of age) had similar results: Sleeping more or less than 7 hours was associated
with higher mortality (Tamakoshi and Ohno 2004).
