Journal ArticleDOI
Serum γ-Glutamyl Transferase and Risk of Heart Failure in the Community
Ravi Dhingra,Philimon Gona,Thomas J. Wang,Thomas J. Wang,Caroline S. Fox,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Ramachandran S. Vasan +8 more
TL;DR: Higher serum GGT concentrations within the “normal” range were associated with greater risk of heart failure and incrementally improved prediction of heart fail risk, in this prospective study of a large community-based sample.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibody Responses to Hepatitis A Virus Vaccine in HIV-Infected Children with Evidence of Immunologic Reconstitution while Receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy
Adriana Weinberg,Philimon Gona,Sharon Nachman,Patricia Defechereux,Ram Yogev,Walter T. Hughes,Diane W. Wara,Steven A Spector,Jennifer S. Read,Carol Elgie,Marlene Cooper,Wayne M. Dankner +11 more
TL;DR: HIV-infected children with CD4+ T cell percentages > or = 20% responded better to the HAV vaccine if they had undetectable HIV RNA, suggesting that an increase in immunizations may be warranted in this population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of elevated cholesterol and associated risk factors among perinatally HIV-infected children (4-19 years old) in Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Group 219C.
John Farley,Philimon Gona,Marilyn J. Crain,Joseph S. Cervia,James M. Oleske,George R. Seage,Jane C. Lindsey +6 more
TL;DR: Among the HIV-infected children, the overall prevalence of hypercholesterolemia was 13.0% and the strongest associated risk factors was current use of a PI in the antiretroviral regimen, and no association was present with body mass index.
Journal ArticleDOI
Right Ventricular Volumes and Systolic Function by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance and the Impact of Sex, Age, and Obesity in a Longitudinally Followed Cohort Free of Pulmonary and Cardiovascular Disease: The Framingham Heart Study.
Murilo Foppa,Garima Arora,Philimon Gona,Arman Ashrafi,Carol J Salton,Susan B. Yeon,Susan J. Blease,Daniel Levy,Christopher J. O'Donnell,Warren J. Manning,Michael L Chuang +10 more
TL;DR: Sex, age, height, body mass index, and heart rate account for most of the variability in RV volumes and function in this community-dwelling, longitudinally followed cohort free of clinical cardiovascular and pulmonary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet Quality, Physical Activity, Smoking Status, and Weight Fluctuation Are Associated with Weight Change in Women and Men
Ruth W. Kimokoti,P. K. Newby,Philimon Gona,Lei Zhu,Guneet K. Jasuja,Michael J. Pencina,Catherine McKeon-O'Malley,Caroline S. Fox,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Barbara E. Millen +10 more
TL;DR: Age in both sexes and physical activity among women as well as weight fluctuation and smoking status in men were stronger predictors of weight change than diet quality among FOS adults.
