INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to determine the actual state of inter-day glycemic variability and identify the factors that affect glycemic variability in diabetic outpatients on insulin therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The participants were 45 outpatients with diabetes mellitus receiving insulin therapy. The mean plasma glucose (MPG) levels, intra-day glycemic variability (expr...

We report the presence of a 106-day cycle in the radio variability of Sgr A* based on an analysis of data observed with the Very Large Array (VLA) over the past 20 years. The pulsed signal is most clearly seen at 1.3 cm with a ratio of cycle frequency to frequency width f /∆f = 2.2 ± 0.3. The periodic signal is also clearly observed at 2 cm. At 3.6 cm the detection of a periodic signal is margi...

People often attribute poor performance to having bad days. Given that cognitive aging leads to lower average levels of performance and more moment-to-moment variability, one might expect that older adults should show greater day-to-day variability and be more likely to experience bad days than younger adults. However, both researchers and ordinary people typically sample only one performance p...

This investigation examines the dynamical processes that drive the anomalous friction torque associated with intraseasonal length-of-day fluctuations. Diagnostic analyses with National Centers for Environmental Protection– National Center for Atmospheric Research reanalysis and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration outgoing longwave radiation data are performed. The approach adopted i...

Rats were mated for two or 15 hours and variability of day-12-embryos in weight, protein content, and [3H]thymidine incorporation was compared in the long mating period (LMP) and short mating period (SMP) groups by a 2-level nested analysis of variance. Variability in day-20 fetal weight was similarly compared. In both groups day-12 embryonic weight was relatively more variable than day-20 feta...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Visit-to-visit and day-to-day variability in systolic blood pressure (SBP) are associated with an increased risk of stroke, more strongly than variability on 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring, but underlying physiological mechanisms are unclear. We related potentially relevant physiological characteristics to beat-to-beat, ambulatory, and day-to-day BP variability to ident...
