Background: Butter is known to have a cholesterol-raising effect and, therefore, has often been included as a negative control in dietary studies, whereas the effect of moderate butter intake has not been elucidated to our knowledge. Objective: We compared the effects of moderate butter intake, moderate olive oil intake, or a habitual diet on blood lipids, highsensitivity C-reactive protein (hs...

BACKGROUND Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is safe and cost effective in early stage endometrial cancer when compared to total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH). In non-randomised data it is often hypothesised that older and obese patients benefit most from TLH. Aim of this study is to analyse whether data support this assumption to advice patients, clinicians and policy makers. METHODS Data...

......The off-chip memory subsystem is a significant performance, power, and quality-of-service (QoS) bottleneck in modern computers, necessitating a high-performance memory controller that can overcome DRAM (dynamic randomaccess memory) timing and resource constraints by orchestrating data movement between the processor and main memory. Contemporary DDRx (double data rate memory interface tech...

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) promotes glucose-dependent insulin secretion. However, GIP also enhances glucocorticoid secretion and promotes adiposity. Because obesity and diabetes are glucocorticoid dependent, we examined whether the effects of GIP on energy balance and glycemia are regulated by glucocorticoids using pharmacological activation of GIP receptor (GIPR) signal...
