Dairy Consumption, Blood Pressure, and Risk of Hypertension: An Evidence-Based Review of Recent Literature

Hypertension is a major risk factor for development of stroke, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and end-stage renal disease. In a systematic review of the evidence published from 2004 to 2009, the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) concluded there was moderate evidence of an inverse relationship between the intake of milk and milk products (dairy) and blood pressure. This review synthesizes results from studies published over the past year on the relationship between dairy intake, blood pressure, and hypertension risk. The influence of dairy micronutrients including calcium, vitamin D, potassium, and phosphorous on blood pressure and incident hypertension is examined. Emerging research on bioactive dairy peptides is also reviewed. Lastly, recent evidence on effects of dairy fat content on blood pressure and hypertension risk, and the impact of inclusion of low-fat dairy in dietary patterns is also investigated.     

The development of an intervention programme to reduce whole-body vibration exposure at work induced by a change in behaviour: a study protocol

Background  

Whole body vibration (WBV) exposure at work is common and studies found evidence that this exposure might cause low back pain (LBP). A recent review concluded there is a lack of evidence of effective strategies to reduce WBV exposure. Most research in this field is focussed on the technical implications, although changing behaviour towards WBV exposure might be promising as well. Therefore, we developed an intervention programme to reduce WBV exposure in a population of drivers with the emphasis on a change in behaviour of driver and employer. The hypothesis is that an effective reduction in WBV exposure, in time, will lead to a reduction in LBP as WBV exposure is a proxy for an increased risk of LBP.     

Evaluation of superficial papillary ablation by endoscopic lasers in an ex vivo kidney model

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endoscopic examinations of stone-forming kidneys show a coincidence of plaques and microliths on the surface of and within papillary epithelial tissue. These calcifications are thought to be precursors of calcium oxalate urolithiasis. We hypothesized that minimally invasive endoscopic laser ablation of microliths and necrotic cell layers enables epithelial regeneration and prevents recurrent urolithiasis. The aim of this study was to determine the most suitable laser type and dose intensity for selective superficial cell ablation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Conventional Nd:YAG (1-40 W) or Ho:YAG (0.5-3 J/single impulse) lasers were used endoscopically on an ex vivo blood-perfused porcine kidney model. Defined doses were applied to the papillary surface in the contact and noncontact modes for 10 to 30 seconds. Papillae were excised after treatment and histopathologically analyzed in continuous sections. Lesions were microscopically assessed with the aid of a Leica Quantimed computer program. RESULTS: Depending on the time and dose, vaporization by the Nd:YAG laser caused large tissue defects and coagulation necrosis at energy levels over 5 W (contact and noncontact mode). Lower energy levels with tissue contact produced only superficial cell defects (<20 cell layers) but more extensive coagulation necrosis, whereas no histologic effects were observed at the same energy level without contact. In contrast, independent of delivered energy but dependent on time, Ho:YAG laser application caused pure tissue loss without relevant coagulation necrosis. The generation of small lesions (6-10 cell layers) without tissue contact was possible at energy levels under 2 J. CONCLUSIONS: Selective superficial papillary cell ablation is possible. Low-energy Nd:YAG treatment in the contact mode and Ho:YAG treatment in the noncontact mode led to superficial vaporization with no (Ho:YAG) or minimum (Nd:YAG) coagulation defects.
