Whether individuals with insulin resistance (IR) but without criteria for diabetes exhibit reduced mitochondrial oxidative capacity is unclear; addressing this question could guide research for new therapeutics. We investigated 248 participants without diabetes from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) to determine whether impaired mitochondrial capacity is associated with prediabet...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the incidence of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia and blood glucose (BG) variability in brain-injured patients and their association with clinical outcomes. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of brain-injured patients admitted to an 11-bed neurosciences intensive care unit (ICU) from January 1 to December 31, 2003. RESULTS We included 606 patients. Mean age was 52.3 years, ...

BACKGROUND Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) have been proven effective in improving hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and in reducing hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). It is not clear, however, if CGM provides further efficacy and safety benefits beyond SMBG in the management of T1DM. METHODS MEDLINE (1966-November 2009), COCHRA...

BACKGROUND Fluoroquinolones are among the most widely prescribed antibiotics. However, concerns about increasing resistant microorganisms and the risk of dysglycemia associated with the use of these agents have emerged. OBJECTIVE The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the appropriate use of commonly prescribed fluoroquinolones, including appropriate indication, dose, dose adjustme...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION Pancreatic cancer (PC) is related to diabetes. Long-standing diabetes should be a prerequisite, whereas new-onset hyperglycemia might be a result of PC. However, the association between diabetes and PC is still in dispute. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated the relationship between glucose metabolism and other factors by retrospectively analyzing the clinical data of 331 ...
