This paper is about the use and implementation of a debugger, called Buddha, which helps Haskell programmers understa...

Alcohol Drinking, Dyslipidemia, and Diabetes: A Population-based Prospective Cohort Study among Inner Mongolians in China.

OBJECTIVE No previous studies have evaluated the association between dyslipidemia, alcohol drinking, and diabetes in an Inner Mongolian population. We aimed to evaluate the co-effects of drinking and dyslipidemia on diabetes incidence in this population. METHODS The present study was based on 1880 participants from a population-based prospective cohort study among Inner Mongolians living in C...

Association of Biomarkers of Inflammation with Dyslipidemia and Its Components among Mongolians in China

OBJECTIVE This study aims to examine the association between inflammatory biomarkers and dyslipidemia and its components among Mongolians in China. METHODS Data were obtained from 2544 Mongolians via standard questionnaires and blood samples in Inner Mongolia, China. High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and soluble E-selectin (sE-sel...
