INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to evaluate real-world treatment patterns of type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients initiating glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in Germany (GE), the United Kingdom (UK), France (FR), the Netherlands (NE), Belgium (BE), and Sweden (SE). METHODS Adult T2D patients initiating exenatide twice daily (exBID), liraglutide once daily (LIRA) or...

Using standard WHO methodology, this study investigated the susceptibility of 4th instar Aedes aegypti (L) and Culex annulirostris (Skuse) larvae to three extracts from Callitris glaucophylla (J. Thompson & L. Johnson) (1: steam distillation extract, 2: liquefied refrigerant gas extract, and 3: methanol reflux extract), lambda-cyhalothrin (a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide) and fenitrothion (a...

Previous studies have shown that levels of plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) increase in an early phase of acute myocardial infarction. However, the relations between plasma BNP levels and left ventricular remodelling, which occurs long after acute myocardial infarction, are not fully understood. Venous plasma BNP levels were measured 2, 7, 14, 30, 90 and 180 days after the onset of acute ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the time course of delayed gadolinium enhancement of infarcted myocardium by using serial contrast agent-enhanced (CE) cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images obtained during the acute, subacute, and chronic stages of infarction. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the local ethics committee, and written informed consent was obtained. Seven...

--------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT------------------------------------------------------The aim of the study was to determine the impact of the herbicide, ethoxysulfuron on the growth of Lemna gibba under rice field cropping conditions. During the course of the study, Lemna frond number was decreased from day 0 (1820 μg/L ethoxysulfuron) to day 30 (10 μg/L) r...

Ingestion of condensed tannins decreases feed intake in ruminants. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) forms high-affinity complexes with tannins. In two experiments carried out on Holstein heifers, quebracho (Q) from the Aspidosperma quebracho served as source of condensed tannins. The aims of the study were (i) to quantify the effect of Q on feed intake and eating behaviour in cattle fed complete mixed...

Background—Guidelines recommend that noncardiac surgery be delayed until 30 to 45 days after bare-metal stent implantation and 1 year after drug-eluting stent implantation. Methods and Results—We used linked registry data and population-based administrative health care databases to conduct a cohort study of 8116 patients (Ն40 years of age) who underwent major elective noncardiac surgery in Onta...
