Treatment of LADA With Etanercept

Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) is a subset of type 1 diabetes. The disease accounts for;2–12% of all cases of diabetes (1). The pathogenesis of the disease involves autoimmune destruction of the b-cells of the pancreatic islet that produce insulin. There is a cellmediated effect, via islet-reactive T cells (2), and a humoral immune response via autoantibodies (3). Studies have indi...

2 Tom Lada And

We develop a symmetric analog of brace algebras and discuss the relation of such algebras to L∞-algebras. We give an alternate proof that the category of symmetric brace algebras is isomorphic to the category of pre-Lie algebras. As an application, symmetric braces are used to describe transfers of strongly homotopy structures. We then explain how these symmetric brace algebras may be used to e...

LADA: Time for a New Definition

In this issue of Diabetes, Zhou et al. (1) report on the prevalence and characteristics of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) in China. Findings from this study underscore the profound need for a new definition of LADA. LADA, a slowly progressive form of autoimmune diabetes that develops in adults and does not require insulin therapy for some time after diagnosis, was first described o...

Lada: the Iss Plant Substrate Microgravity Testbed

Lada, named for the ancient Russian Goddess of Spring, is a plant growth system developed jointly by the Space Dynamics Laboratory and the Institute of Biomedical Problems for longterm deployment on the International Space Station. Lada uses design features and technology similar to the Svet greenhouse on the Mir orbital outpost, and will be launched to ISS in June 02. It is scheduled to suppor...
