OBJECTIVE To evaluate the atherogenicity of lipids in coronary patients with normal fasting glucose (NFG), impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Serum lipid values, the presence of angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD) at baseline, and the incidence of vascular events over 2.3 years were recorded in 750 consecutive patients undergoing coronary a...

This paper investigates the complexity of Propositional Projection Temporal Logic with Star (PPTL*). To this end, Propositional Projection Temporal Logic (PPTL) is first extended to include projection star. Then, by reducing the emptiness problem of star-free expressions to the problem of the satisfiability of PPTL* formulas, the lower bound of the complexity for the satisfiability of PPTL* for...

The Unified Glare Rating (UGR) and the modified version (UGR’) have been developed widely accepted in multiple standards for measuring discomfort glare of a luminaire typical indoor environments; however, standardized metric non-uniform outdoor luminaires is still missing. In this paper, possibility to apply UGR UGR’ an residential with spatial luminance distribution explored. was characterized...

Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) represent intermediate states between normal fasting glucose (NFG) or normal glucose tolerance (NGT), respectively, and diabetes (1). The regulation of fasting and glucose concentrations after an oral glucose load is dependent on different physiological mechanisms (2), and current evidence suggests that IFG and IGT have differe...

An endocrine disrupter, bisphenol-A is widely used in the production of plastics and coatings. Recently, it was reported that bisphenol-A affected neurotransmitters in the mammalian brain. On the basis of these reports, it was considered that bisphenol-A affected neuronal differentiation. In this study, the morphological changes in nerve growth factor (NFG)-induced differentiation caused by bis...

BACKGROUND Impaired glucose regulation (IGR) is associated with detrimental cardiovascular outcomes such as cardiovascular disease risk factors (CVD risk factors) or intima-media thickness (IMT). Our aim was to examine whether these associations are mediated by body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (waist) or fasting serum insulin (insulin) in a population in the African region. METHODS ...

BACKGROUND Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) is commonly elevated in persons with diabetes. This may be due to effects of insulin and/or glucose and/or metabolic control on the metabolism or plasma levels of tHcy. This study examined the effects of fasting plasma glucose status on fasting tHcy levels among adults without diabetes, and diabetes per se among adults with a self-report history of di...
