OBJECTIVES Characterization of children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) regarding number and gender distribution of cardiovascular risk factors (cvRF) and of total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TC/HDL-C ratio) for risk assessment. METHODS 33488 patients <or=18 years were included in this cross-sectional analysis and placed into 5 categories by their number of cvRF. Dysli...

Background. Insulin resistance is the major sign of etiology and pathogenesis type 2 diabetes mellitus metabolic syndrome can precede its development for many years. Early identifying beginning insulin in children important to prevent adult life. The purpose was identify somatic changes with resistance. Material methods. Out 182 general sample, who estimated fasting plasma glucose, HOMA-IR, glu...

OBJECTIVE To investigate, in pregnant women without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), the relation among obstetric/demographic characteristics; fasting, 1-h, and 2-h plasma glucose values resulting from a 75-g glucose load; and the risk of abnormal neonatal anthropometric features and then to verify the presence of a threshold glucose value for a 75-g glucose load above which there is an inc...

ReSultS: Of 818 residents, a minority were integrated (35.7%) relative to independent (64.3%). During several years, integrated residents performed more procedures in hand reconstruction, congenital deformity, tendon repair, nerve repair, nerve decompression, amputation, arterial repair, and Dupuytren’s release categories (p < 0.05). There were no significant changes in fold differences between...

Abstract:Introduction: Racial and environmental differences in communities leading cause of differences in serum lipids. It can be said this study aimed in assessing percentile curves of serum lipid profile about 6-18 years old students of Birjand.Method: The present cross-sectional study was done on 4168 students of Birjand aged 6-18 years. They were classified into three age groups 6-10 and 1...

While symbolic number processing is an important correlate for typical and low mathematics achievement, it remains to be determined whether children with high achievement also have excellent abilities. We investigated this question in 64 (aged 8 10), i.e., 32 persistent (above the 90th percentile) average-achieving peers (between 25th 75th percentile...

In this paper, we focus on simple exponential approximations for steady-state tail probabilities in G/GI/1 queues based on large-time asymptotics. We relate the large-time asymptotics for the steady-state waiting time, sojourn time and workload. We evaluate the exponential approximations based on the exact asymptotic parameters and their approximations by making comparisons with exact numerical...

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the growth status of very low birth infant at corrected age of two years. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on all babies with birth weight ≤1500 gr without any congenital anomalies, genetic disturbance and chronic disease (e.g. cardiopulmonary insufficiency, cholestasis, malabsorption). They were called at corrected age 2 year...

Background. To evaluate the prevalence and the importance of anthropometric indexes on metabolic syndrome (MetS) among young adolescents in Taiwan. Methods. We conducted a cross sectional survey to obtain a representative sampling among Taipei adolescents in 2003, totally enrolled of 1,562 adolescents (764 boys and 798 girls) from age 11 to 15. We used modified NCEP-ATP III criteria to diagnose...
