Type 2 diabetes is increasing in prevalence and it is estimated that three million individuals in the UK will have the disease by 2010. People with diabetes have a high risk of cardiovascular disease-coronary heart disease is more prevalent, more extensive, and more diffuse. For all cardiovascular syndromes, the mortality is virtually doubled in patients with diabetes. Large clinical trials hav...

“Having diabetes shouldn’t stop them”: healthcare professionals’ perceptions of physical activity in children with Type 1 diabetes

Regular physical activity has known benefits for children with T1DM, but children with chronic conditions may face barriers to participation. The perceptions of HCPs w...

Closure duration analysis of incomplete stop consonants due to stop-stop interaction.

An incomplete stop consonant is characterized either by an indistinguishable closure or a missing burst. If an incomplete stop happens due to a stop following another stop [stop-stop interaction (SSI)], its acoustics typically resemble that of a complete stop-one closure followed by a single burst. As a consequence, stop detectors would fail to distinguish an SSI from a complete stop. Analysis ...

The Prediction of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Do We Just Stop Here?

1051 Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is well recognized to be associated with a higher incidence and prevalence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, randomized clinical trials in which risk factors for ASCVD (blood pressure, lipids, glycemia) have been modified are nonexistent for T1D patients. Thus, any model that is developed must be based on observational data only. The...
