The evening condition (i.e. at the end of day spent awake) was intermediate between the two, suggesting that wakefulness causes progressive changes that build up over time [blogs.discovermagazine.com]

Common Cold

We conducted a systematic review on the management of CACC to update the recommendations and suggestions of the CHEST 2006 guideline on this topic. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Due to the benign nature of the illness, no specific suggestion was made for this question. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The data available suggest that exposure to cold, either through exposure to low environmental temperatures or during induced hypothermia, increases the risk of developing [ingentaconnect.com]

Vitamin D Deficiency

The Task Force also suggested the measurement of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level by a reliable assay as the initial diagnostic test in patients at risk for deficiency. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Thus our clinical observation suggests the complexity of PTH resistance in vitamin D deficiency and underscores the importance of diet to prevent the disorder. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Essential Hypertension

CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis suggested that the PPARG polymorphisms might be associated with the risk of EH. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It was suggested that the linoleic acid decrement was mainly associated with the disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract Hypertension has been suggested to be mediated by immunity and inflammation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Alzheimer Disease

Our data suggest that the mechanism by which FAD mutations promote neurodegeneration and AD may be independent of their effects on Aβ production. [doi.org]

Excess TNF-alpha, a cytokine with pleotropic effects in the CNS, has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of AD. [doi.org]

Results: Continued open-label clinical experience with this new treatment modality, now for more than two years, suggests that weekly maintenance treatment with perispinal [doi.org]

Urinary Tract Infection

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

A new classification of PCOS syndrome is suggested on the basis of new guidelines. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These observations suggest a dominantly inherited trait controlling androgen levels. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Inositol, a dietary supplement with a documented effect on ovulation and without adverse effects in the doses recommended, may be suggested. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome

The overall prevalence of symptoms suggestive of CP/CPPS is 6.3%. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

BACKGROUND: There are multiple approaches to the management of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS); and lately the data suggesting the ability of acupuncture [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CONCLUSION: These results suggest that many factors affect CP/CPPS, including biological, social, and psychological factors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Atopic Dermatitis

Third, recent evidence suggests that the risk of subsequent childhood asthma is not increased in children with early atopic dermatitis who are not also early wheezers, suggesting [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Given this deficit, we aim to develop suggestions for the treatment of AD with phototherapy by systematically reviewing the current medical literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Vaginal Candidiasis

Culture only if needed for speciation or if microscopy is negative but symptoms suggest candida. [mshc.org.au]

Candida albicans is a potent allergen in some situations and it has been suggested that local hypersensitivity to this yeast can be a factor in the prolongation of the disease [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The range of mean S(AB) values for intergroup comparisons for C. albicans isolates alone was 0.50-0.56, suggesting that there was no significant relatedness between strains [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Bruxism

This study describes the use of suggestive hypnotherapy and looks at its effectiveness in treating bruxism. [dx.doi.org]

On the basis of this preliminary data, they have suggested several cut-off criteria for defining bruxism. [emedicine.medscape.com]

This suggests a more extensive cortical network than that occurring with finger behaviors, which were also evaluated in the study. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Osteoarthritis

These data show increased nitric oxide production in RA and OA and suggest a role for nitric oxide as an inflammatory mediator in rheumatic diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Based on the evidence of the sequence of symptoms and the progression of untreated LA with static OA at follow up, it is suggested that the aetiology of LA is secondary to [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These data suggest that ACL reconstruction can prevent OA development to a certain degree. [doi.org]

Alcohol Dementia

- A Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine study suggests that omega-3 fish oil might help protect against alcohol-related dementia. [eurekalert.org]

Estimates from various studies have suggested the prevalence of alcohol-related dementia to be about 10% of all cases of dementia. [sciencedaily.com]

However, there is some evidence to suggest that limited alcohol intake in earlier adult life may be protective against incident dementia later. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Toxoplasmosis

This suggests the parasite is indeed interfering with the brain's dopamine system—and thus that it might be doing the same thing in people. [economist.com]

Suggestions for how to address overcome this problem are discussed in this paper. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This approach follows a lead suggested by Emil Kraepelin and Eugen Bleuler a century ago. [doi.org]

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Gene set enrichment analyses suggested impairment of B cell differentiation and survival, as well as enhancement of innate antiviral responses and inflammation in the CFS [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We first review findings suggesting that CFS is best conceptualized as a separate diagnostic entity rather than as part of a unitary model of functional somatic distress. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This study suggests that in some cases CFS and FM can be temporally related to immunization, as part of ASIA syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Motion Sickness

It has been suggested that susceptibility to VIMS depends on the ability to regulate visual performance during vection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Logic suggests that attenuating input from one sense may reduce conflict and hence lessen MS symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

One study, published in PloS one in 2013, suggested that 3-D movies can also cause nausea. This condition is generally called motion sickness. [medicalnewstoday.com]

Orthostatic Hypotension

A family history of orthostatic symptoms suggests possible familial dysautonomia. [msdmanuals.com]

Hypotension without a compensatory increase in heart rate ( 10 beats/min) suggests autonomic impairment. [merckmanuals.com]

However, these and other tests are usually of little benefit unless suggested by specific symptoms. [msdmanuals.com]

Posterior Myocardial Infarction

There are also some features suggestive of early inferior infarction, with hyperacute T waves in II, III and aVF. [lifeinthefastlane.com]

Its association with different varieties of BBB and changes in AH or HV intervals could suggest a relationship with a His-Purkinje conduction disturbance in some patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Example 3a Patient presenting with chest pain: The ST depression and upright T waves in V2-3 suggest posterior MI. [lifeinthefastlane.com]

Insulin Resistance

A novel approach to minimize insulin resistance after surgery is being presented and suggests that simply pretreating the elective surgical patient with sufficient amounts [doi.org]

Features suggesting severe insulin resistance include acanthosis nigricans, hyperandrogenism, weight loss, and recurrent hospital admissions for diabetic ketoacidosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The main sites for insulin resistance seem to be extrahepatic tissues, probably skeletal muscle, where preliminary data suggest that the glucose transporting system is involved [doi.org]

Obesity

Studies of patients with HF that specifically examined the impact of body mass index (BMI) on outcomes have suggested the existence of an "obesity paradox." [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Recent evidence, primarily from investigations in animal models, suggests that the gut microbiota affects nutrient acquisition and energy regulation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Overactive Bladder

This suggested that the prevalence is significantly lower than previously thought. [news-medical.net]

Your doctor will review the results of any tests with you and suggest a treatment strategy. [mayoclinic.org]

Research has suggested that acupuncture might help ease the symptoms of overactive bladder. Acupuncture practitioners treat you using extremely thin, disposable needles. [mayoclinic.org]

Malignant Neoplasm of the Prostate

Abstract Previous studies suggest that enzymes involved in the androgen metabolic pathway are susceptibility factors for prostate cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This suggests the presence of an inherited susceptibility to developing the TMPRSS2-ERG fusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Genetic models have suggested that there is at least one highly penetrant gene predisposing to this disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome

As Wallace et al4 suggest, if the patient endorses compulsive hot water bathing behaviors but denies cannabis use, a urine drug screen is warranted, as these behaviors may [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

After review of the literature, we believe this is the first reported successful outpatient treatment of CHS and suggests a potential treatment for refractory patients. 1. [hindawi.com]

This suggests that the chemical products used in new cultivation methods could also play an important part in this story. [dinafem.org]
