Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of angina pectoris and plasma concentrations of vitamins A, C, and E and carotene
TL;DR: It is suggested that some populations with a high incidence of coronary heart disease may benefit from eating diets rich in natural antioxidants, particularly vitamin E.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particulate air pollution and the blood.
Anthony Seaton,Anne Soutar,Vivienne Crawford,Robert A. Elton,Susan E. McNerlan,John W. Cherrie,Monika Watt,Raymond Agius,Robert W. Stout +8 more
TL;DR: The changes in haemoglobin adjusted for albumin suggest that inhalation of some component of PM10 may cause sequestration of red cells in the circulation, and it is proposed that an action of such particles either on lung endothelial cells or on erythrocytes themselves may be responsible for changing red cell adhesiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linoleic and eicosapentaenoic acids in adipose tissue and platelets and risk of coronary heart disease.
David A. Wood,Susan Butler,Cecilia C. A. Macintyre,R.A. Riemersma,M Thomson,Robert A. Elton,M.F. Oliver +6 more
TL;DR: There was a progressive inverse relation between adipose linoleic acid and the estimated relative risk of AP, but it was confounded by smoking habit, and eicosapentaenoic acid in platelet membranes was lower in AMI patients than in controls, this difference was not significant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-linked fibrin degradation products, progression of peripheral arterial disease, and risk of coronary heart disease
F. G. R. Fowkes,E. Housley,A Rattray,Gdo Lowe,A. Rumley,Robert A. Elton,Ian MacGregor,J Dawes +7 more
TL;DR: In patients with peripheral arterial disease, plasma concentration of XLFDP, a measure of ongoing fibrin formation and degradation, is a strong predictor of both disease progression and future coronary risk, accord with the hypothesis that fibr in formation contributes to progression of coronary and peripheral atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcutaneous oxygen levels in retinopathy of prematurity
TL;DR: Variability of TcPO2 in the first 2 weeks of life is a significant predictor of severe ROP, and babies with stage 3 or higher ROP showed an increased variability in week 1 and 2 but not week 3.
