“…In addition, 1/2 of a standard deviation is a very liberal criterion compared to the prior cognition and cancer literature and therefore likely overestimated the incidence and prevalence of cognitive adverse events. 34 , 35 , 36 …”

“…Although these aspects are often taken for granted, these complex skills require the use and coordination of several cognitive abilities [ 34 , 35 , 36 ]. They enhance personal and instrumental autonomy; may increase flexible thinking; and stimulate memory, attention, and visuospatial abilities [ 37 , 38 ]. Evidence suggests that changing these health behaviours can benefit cognitive function [ 39 , 40 ].…”

Role of Nutrition in the Etiopathogenesis and Prevention of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in a Group of Obese Adults

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is liver damage characterized by an accumulation of triglycerides in hepatocytes of >5% (due to an alteration of the balance of the lipid metabolism in favour of lipogenesis compared to lipolysis) that is not induced by the consumption of alcohol. The pathology includes simple steatosis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH (steatosis associated with microinflammatory activities), which can evolve in 15% of subjects with hepatic fibrosis to cirrhosis and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of this study is to report the role of macro- and micronutrients in the pathogenesis and prevention of NAFLD in obese subjects. A total of 22 obese or overweight patients with hepatic steatosis were monitored periodically, evaluating their eating habits, fasting glycaemia, lipid picture, liver enzymes, anthropometric parameters, nutrition status, liver ultrasound, oxidative stress, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet. A statistical analysis shows a significant positive relationship between total cholesterol and the Mediterranean adequacy index (MAI) (r = −0.57; p = 0.005) and a significant negative relationship between ALT transaminases and the MAI (r = −0.56; p = 0.007). Nutrition and diet are important factors in the pathogenesis and prevention of NAFLD. The dietary model, based on the canons of the Mediterranean diet, prevents and reduces the accumulation of fat in hepatocytes. Therefore, in agreement with other studies in the literature, we can state that a dietary model characterized by foods rich in fibre, carotenoids, polyphenols, ω3 fatty acids, folic acid, and numerous other molecules is inversely correlated with the serum levels of ALT transaminases, an enzyme whose level increases when the liver is damaged and before the most obvious symptoms of organ damage appear.

“…In addition, this has been shown to decrease hospitalisation for cerebral vascular accidents by up to 7% (26). In parity with this condition, occupational therapy has been found to slightly improve cognitive performance and sustained visual attention, along with thinking and working memory (27). Another therapy that is practised in this type of patient is circuit training.…”

Introduction: A cerebrovascular event is a pathology that affects brain tissue by an interruption of blood flow, which may result in irreversible injury. If there is spontaneous recovery of symptoms and no brain damage, it is called a transient ischaemic attack. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the likelihood of sequelae in stroke patients (1). Aim: The aim is to mention therapeutic novelties, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, about stroke management, based on review articles and original articles from 2017 to the present. Methodology: This review was conducted by searching for information in Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Science Direct and PubMed. The documents found were in Spanish and English. Some articles were excluded due to lack of relevance and not corresponding to the time needed. Results: For the initial approach to stroke, we have: acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel, statins and initiate thrombolysis or thrombectomy as soon as possible. Therapies such as carotid endarterectomy are vital to avoid recurrences. For the rehabilitation of patients with sequelae we have: speech and language therapy, mental practice, electromechanical trainings, mirror therapies, and above all the improvement of health services. Conclusions: Strokes need to be diagnosed early. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging can help in diagnosis. There are pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic alternatives. Pharmacological therapies are used in acute phases of stroke, while non-pharmacological therapies are more directed towards rehabilitation therapies. KEYWORDS: Stroke, Thrombolytic Therapy, Endarterectomy, Stroke Rehabilitation, Transient Ischaemic Attack.
