background: sleep apnea is associated with increased risk ofdiabetes mellitus. however, no studies have compared sleep apneasymptoms in diabetic patients and their first degree relatives.the purpose of our study was to investigate high risk for sleepapnea syndrome, in diabetics and their first degree relatives forprevention of diabetes in family.methods: as a part of a cohort study, all of diab...

impaired fasting glucose identifies individuals at high risk of progression to diabetes but the role of ifg as a coronary artery disease risk factor, independent of its progression to diabetes and its association with other coronary artery disease risk factors ,is unclear. a cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the hypothesis that impaired fasting glucose increased the likelihood of ...

Palladium nanoparticles supported on carbon black powder (Vulcan XC-72) nanocomposite (Pd/C) are synthesized as the catalyst for the anodic oxidation of glucose for use in a direct glucose alkaline fuel cell (DGAFC). Characterization of the catalyst is carried out using physical and electrochemical methods. It is observed that Palladium nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed onto the carbon blac...

At cruising altitude, usually 10,000 to 13,000 meters (~30,000 to 42,000 feet), the pressure in the cabin is 0.75 atm, which is 75% of the pressure measured at sea level. The d...

The effects of infusion of normal saline (NS) and glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) with either low or high G concentrations on hemodynamics and exercise tolerance were studied in patients with angina pectoris. Studies were performed at rest and during exercise, twice before and once after one of the infusions. Eleven patients (low-G GIK group) received 150 ml of GIK solution that contained 15 g ...

We demonstrate a colorimetric glucose recognition material consisting of a crystalline colloidal array embedded within a polyacrylamide-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel, or a polyacrylamide-15-crown-5 hydrogel, with pendent phenylboronic acid groups. We utilize a new molecular recognition motif, in which boronic acid and PEG (or crown ether) functional groups are prepositioned in a photonic...
