Coconut fat intake may compromise long-term blood glucose control

28 Sep 2021

Consumption of coconut fat in meals appears to increase postprandial glucose as a result of a decrease in insulin, according to a study. Furthermore, long-term intake of coconut fat may increase insulin resistance and be detrimental for glycaemic control.

High-flowrate air samplers allow thorough monitoring for airborne SARS-CoV-2

28 Sep 2021 by

High-flowrate air samplers are able to detect airborne SARS-CoV-2 in hospitals, outperforming even surface sampling, according to a recent Singapore study. Factors such as the site of deployment and distance of the air samplers from patients affect the viral load detected.

Exaggerated BP response to exercise predicts stroke

27 Sep 2021

The risk of stroke increases with growing difference between resting and maximal exercise systolic blood pressure (SBP), independent of BP at rest, according to a study. This suggests that an exaggerated BP response to physical exercise is independently predictive of stroke.

Lung function more stable but death risk higher in advanced IPF patients on antifibrotics

27 Sep 2021

Patients with advanced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) at the time of initiation with nintedanib or pirfenidone demonstrate more stable lung function over time, but substantially higher risk of death, compared to those with mild-to-moderate IPF, according to the results of a recent study.

Abnormal STE myocardial function prevalent in women with HELLP syndrome history

27 Sep 2021

The rate of abnormal speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) myocardial function is high during the first years following a pregnancy complicated by haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome, regardless of whether there was concomitant pre-eclampsia (PE), reveals a study.

Olanzapine a favourable alternative to dexamethasone for CINV

27 Sep 2021 by

Olanzapine administered at a dose of 5 mg was noninferior to dexamethasone and is associated with fewer adverse effects than dexamethasone for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), according to data presented at ESMO 2021.
