Are dietary fruits and vegetables, particularly leafy greens, protective against cardiovascular disease due to their ability to increase bioavailability of nitric oxide?

How can individual VTE risk-assessment scoring be combined with promising biomarker candidates in order to help predict risk in the general patient population and prevent unprovoked low-risk VTE cases?

There is a great need for the development and evaluation of biomarkers for the study of venous thromboembolism (VTE) pathophysiology and risk assessment.

What can be done in primary care settings to increase appropriate provider assessment of the need for oxygen and prescription of LTOT?

How can we build on previous research to develop new methods for objective assessment of usual dietary intake?

Combine objective measures and biomarkers of dietary intake to identify dietary deficiencies/excesses that contribute to risk for cardiometabolic diseases. Technological, statistical and methodological advances in diet assessment are increasingly making it possible to identify the nutrients/phytochemicals/ that contribute to risk factor development in individuals and populations. Interdisciplinary studies are needed to... more »

In an effort to increase the quality, integrity, and rigor of research and research reporting, setting up systems for quantifying these factors across time can be accomplished. These are areas of research that can provide the field with useful feedback and serve as a basis for monitoring progress across time, journals, topics, and other factors. Hence, we propose funding the collection and publication of such monitoring... more »
