OBJECTIVE We sought to compare and evaluate the impact of inhaled versus injected insulin on potential mediators of patient acceptance of insulin therapy while maintaining comparable A1C levels. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS During a noninferiority efficacy trial conducted in 40 centers in the U.S., we surveyed treatment satisfaction, quality of life, and adherence barriers at weeks -4, -1, 6, ...

Abstract. Stratospheric sulfate aerosol geoengineering is a proposed method to temporarily intervene in the climate system increase reflectance of shortwave radiation and reduce mean global temperature. In previous modeling studies, choosing injection locations for aerosols has, thus far, only utilized average dynamics stratospheric wind fields instead accounting essential role time-varying mat...

(Abstracted from Hum Reprod 2022;37:1106–1125) With intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), many natural barriers that would normally prevent the entry of abnormal are lost, increasing importance DNA integrity for successful in vitro fertilization. There is currently no consensus on optimal assay measuring quality (DNAq), defined as any structural aspect chromatin can compromise function if di...

The goal of the PRIN2005 “EAH conservation KM system” research project, funded by Italian Ministry of Research, is to establish an advanced integrated approach to conservation of Earthen Architecture Heritage (EAH) that support main design and planning of conservation actions, reducing the technical risk through suitable and compatible measures. Knowledge Management for supporting EAH conservat...

background: every year many organizations formulate a code of ethics (coe) but when it comes to implementing, it does not achieve the desired purposes. ineffectiveness of coes can stem from different factors and surely, one of them is bad formulation. this research was conducted to identify the barriers to effective formulation of coes in one of the main state universities of medical sciences i...

PURPOSE Treatment guidelines recommend insulin progression (switching from basal to a premixed insulin regimen, adding bolus doses, and/or increasing dosing frequency) to achieve A1C targets as type 2 diabetes progresses, but fewer patients are being progressed than would be indicated based on their disease status. This systematic review proposes 2 questions regarding insulin progression among ...

BACKGROUND People who inject drugs (PWID) often encounter barriers when attempting to access health care and social services. In our previous study conducted to identify barriers to accessing care from the perspective of PWIDs in Saskatoon, Canada: poverty, lack of personal support, discrimination, and poor knowledge and coordination of service providers among other key barriers were identified...

A three-terminal spectroscopy that probes both subsurface energy barriers and interband optical transitions in a semiconductor heterostructure is demonstrated. A metal-base transistor with a unipolar p-type semiconductor collector embedding InAs/GaAs quantum dots QDs is studied. Using minorityor majority-carrier injection, ballistic electron emission spectroscopy and its related hot-carrier sca...

the aim of this study was to investigate developmental barriers of sport for all in selected state universities of tehran city and to present strategies to developing it. the method of this study was descriptive-correlation and application in terms of aim. the statistical population consisted of all male and female faculty members of faculties of physical education and sport sciences of selecte...

Liposome nanocarriers (LPNs) are potentially the future of inner ear therapy due to their high drug loading capacity and efficient uptake in the inner ear after a minimally invasive intratympanic administration. However, information on the biocompatibility of LPNs in the inner ear is lacking. The aim of the present study is to document the biocompatibility of LPNs in the inner ear after intraty...
