OBJECTIVES This study aimed to establish the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and impaired glucose tolerance in patients with schizophrenia and to elucidate some of the factors associated with hyperglycemia. METHODS We studied a sample of 194 patients with schizophrenia. We determined fasting blood glucose and insulin levels at the start of the testing period; patients were given an oral ...

OBJECTIVE This study investigates the safety and efficacy of a third-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) with biodegradable polymer in the complex patient population of diabetes mellitus (DM). CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION ISRCTN81649913. BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with DM are associated with a higher incidence of death, restenosis, and stent thrombosis as comp...

nutritive value of rumen epithelial scraping (rep) was assessed using in sacco and in vivo procedures. concentrates were so formulated that 0% (a), 35% (b), 70% (c), and 100% (d) of soybean meal (sbm), were replaced (weight for weight) with rep. in a completely randomized design, 16 west african dwarf (wad) goats were randomly allocated to the experimental diets to assess feed intake and digest...

purpose: to compare visual outcomes after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (dalk) between eyes with and without successful big-bubble formation. methods: in this retrospective comparative study, a total of 290 consecutive eyes from 257 keratoconus-affected patients underwent dalk with the big-bubble technique were enrolled. in cases where the big bubble could not be accomplished, manual stro...

in this study fungi isolated from the effluent of ethanol factories were identified. optimal conditions for single cell protein (scp) production and cod reduction of sugar beet stillage are specified for a species of hansenula in a continuous culture. under these conditions 5.7 g dm-3 biomass was produced and 31% of cod was reduced without addition of further nutrients to the beet molasses stil...

OBJECTIVE A1C > or =6.5% has been recently proposed as the defining criterion for diabetes. However, performance characteristics of this definition have not been described.

OBJECTIVE Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) has been shown to enhance new bone formation in fracture and bone defect models in both normal and diabetic rats. Effects of rhBMP-2 in a segmental femoral defect model in diabetes mellitus (DM) BB Wistar rats have not been reported. METHODS Collagen sponge soaked with either buffer or rhBMP-2 was inserted in a mid-diaphyseal ...
