[edit] Atheroma and Acne
Has anyone out there ever noticed a correlation of acne with patients who develop atheroma. One could simply say that artheroma is acne of the arteries. Sounds like nonsense, but why do cultures that do not develop acne, do not develop artheroma - (until individuals move the Western cultures and then they suffer from both). Onset in time is about the same, just before pubety. Men suffer from acne much more than women, until women reach menopause (READ ARTICLE ON ACNE). Women develop acne and artheroma typically after menopause. Won't go into further medical/chemical details, but there sure is a lot of very similar factors in both cases. And as for the Western culture effect, everybody points to diet as being the major factor, however, are we overloooking environmental factors, such as pollutents from our industrialized Western countries. Such pollutents include tobacco smoking as well as exhausts from energy plants and automobiles. Now someone will jump in and say that Wiki is only for referenced work and original thoughts have no place here. The problem is that if you give someone informaton in one area and they see similar information in another area, they start to think. The nature of man 2+2 = something greater than 4. Ok, now pleae tell me why acne and artheroma are not similar. Wiseoldowl (talk) 04:57, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm taking a neurobiology class. Acne and atheroma may both be very much related--inflammation is an important aspect of both.
[edit] Atheroma vs. Atherosclerosis
I find the information presented in this article to be beyond the scope of its subject. About half the article is on the clinical aspects of atherosclerosis and therefore belongs in the atherosclerosis article. The ICD codes belong there too. On the other had there is a lot of information in that article that would enrich this one. --InfoCan 16:29, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] POV - Prevalence
despite the opening sentence containing the addendum typical for most humans, there is neither cross-cultural nor within America's cultural data on the prevalence of the disease. If this were any other article, that would have already been grounds for a full POV review. <spetz>.216.175.188.98 17:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] How to keep normal blood glucose levels low?
What are specific methods to keep normal blood glucose levels low, (glycosylated hemoglobin, also called HbA1c, values < 5.0)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.137.155.162 (talk) 05:42, 12 April 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Esselstyn Ornish And Gould
Ornish Esselstyn and Gould have succeeded in regressing atheroma in most of their patients. Should not this be mentioned? robert2957 (talk) 14:41, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
I removed the following: Atheroma is caused by a dry scalp and dry hair, this disease afects you by geting deeper and deeper into your head, soon it will make your skull rott because the rotting goes through your skin, so be carful when you think you have dandrif it could be this disease. 24.12.168.88 03:16, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
