Liver cirrhosis is frequently associated with diabetes mellitus (DM), and this metabolic complication is also frequent after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The aim of our study is to investigate which factors are associated with DM before and after OLT and their impact on post-OLT evolution. We evaluated the prevalence of DM among 115 liver transplant candidates with cirrhosis and asse...

We consider a complex scalar field as SIMP dark matter in models with gauged Z3 discrete symmetry appearing as a remnant of dark local U(1). Dark matter (DM) annihilates dominantly by the 3-to-2 scattering, due to the DM cubic coupling in combination with the DM quartic coupling or the Z ′ gauge and dark Higgs couplings. We show that a light Z ′ gauge boson makes DM in kinetic equilibrium with ...

Data mining (DM) technology provides a potential solution to structural health monitoring (SHM) as a deeper data analysis method. In this paper, a comprehensive introduction to the background, definition, function, process, methods and advantage of DM technology is made. The research and application state of DM technology in various fields is reviewed. Responding to the need of SHM and the char...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic-degenerative disease associated with a high risk of chronic complications and comorbidities. The aim of this study is to estimate the average annual cost incurred by the Italian National Health Service (NHS) for the treatment of DM stratified by patients' comorbidities. Moreover, the model estimates the economic impact of implementing good clinical...

Objective Prevalence of type 2 diabetes varies by region and ancestry. However, most guidelines for the prevention of diabetes mellitus (DM) are based on European or non-Hispanic white populations. Two ethnic minority populations-Mexican Americans (MAs) in Texas, USA, and South Indians (SIs) in Tamil Nadu, India-have an increasing prevalence of DM. We aimed to understand the metabolic correlate...

SETTING Tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) clinics at Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital, a tertiary care centre in Bangalore, India. OBEJCTIVE To assess the feasibility and results of TB-DM bidirectional screening. METHODS A descriptive study conducted from 1 March to 30 September 2012, in which all TB patients were assessed for DM and vice versa. Fasting blood glucose values of ≥1...

A 76-year-old woman with muscle ache, weakness of the extremities, and skin rash was diagnosed with dermatomyositis (DM). Upon the diagnosis of DM, a systemic survey of malignancy revealed an advanced carcinoma of the ascending colon. The patient underwent right hemicolectomy approximately 2 months after the onset of DM. The symptoms and signs of DM disappeared after the surgery without additio...
