EMS is dispatched to a highway for a motorcycle crash involving a single rider who was ejected from the bike at a reported 80 MPH. The pt. is found wearing a helmet, with noticeable damage. Pt. is located 20 feet away from the motorcycle, which has extensive deformities. Which of these contributed most to the amount of kinetic energy absorbed by this patient? Select 2 options

The inverse association between Mediterranean diet (Med-diet) consumption and insulin resistance or inflammatory markers is well known. However, the extent to which obesity may act directly on or mediate this association is unclear. We aimed to investigate whether the associations between Med-diet consumption and markers of insulin resistance and inflammation are mediated by body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference (WC) in a representative US population. We used data from 4700 adults aged 20-90 y without any previous diagnosis of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or hypertension based on the NHANES III survey. A Med-diet score (MDS) was created to assess adherence to the Med-diet. Compared with the lowest MDS tertile, the highest tertile of MDS was associated with a 0.77 lower BMI (P = 0.004) and a 2.7 cm lower WC (P < 0.001) after multivariable adjustment. WC mediated the association of MDS with insulin resistance and glucose intolerance markers (log insulin, log homoeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, fasting glucose, and glycated hemoglobin) and inflammatory markers (white blood cell count and fibrinogen), whereas BMI mediated the association between MDS and insulin resistance and glucose intolerance markers only (all P

Astaxanthin is a lipid‑soluble carotenoid produced by various microorganisms and marine animals, including bacteria, yeast, fungi, microalgae, shrimps and lobsters. Astaxanthin has antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory and anti‑apoptotic properties. These characteristics suggest that astaxanthin has health benefits and protects against various diseases. Owing to its ability to cross the blood‑brain barrier, astaxanthin has received attention for its protective effects against neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, cognitive impairment and neuropathic pain. Previous studies on the neurological effects of astaxanthin are mostly based on animal models and cellular experiments. Thus, the biological effects of astaxanthin on humans and its underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood.

Our aim was to explore whether combined calcium and vitamin D supplementation is beneficial for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. We searched the PubMed, Cochrane library, Web of science and Embase databases and reference lists of eligible articles up to Feb, 2020. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the effect of combined calcium and vitamin D on osteoporosis in postmenopausal women were included. Pooled analysis showed that combined calcium and vitamin D significantly increased total bone mineral density (BMD), lumbar spine BMD, arms BMD, and femoral neck BMD. It also significantly reduced the incidence of hip fracture. Combined calcium and vitamin D significantly increased femoral neck BMD only when the dose of the vitamin D intake was no more than 400 IU d-1, but not for a dose more than 400 IU d-1, and calcium had no effect on the femoral neck BMD. Subgroup analysis showed only dairy products fortified with calcium and vitamin D had a significant influence on total BMD and lumbar spine BMD, but not for combined calcium and vitamin D supplement. Dairy products fortified with calcium and vitamin D have a favorable effect on bone mineral density. Combined calcium and vitamin D supplementation could prevent osteoporosis hip fracture in postmenopausal women.
