BACKGROUND Certain types of carbohydrates increase glucose and insulin levels to a greater extent than others. In turn, insulin may raise levels of insulin-like growth factors, which may influence breast cancer risk. We analyzed the effect of type and amount of carbohydrates on breast cancer risk, using the glycemic index and the glycemic load measures in a large case-control study conducted in...

We describe a case of a patient assisted by extracorporeal life support, in which we obtained the dynamic filling index, a measure for venous volume during extracorporeal life support, and used this index to assess cardiac load-responsiveness during acute reloading. While reloading, the obtained findings on cardiac pump function by the dynamic filling index were supported by trans-esophageal ec...

This paper presents a simple load balancing algorithm and its probabilistic analysis. Unlike most of the previous load balancing algorithms, this algorithm maintains locality. We show that the cost of this load balancing algorithm is small for practical situations and discuss some interesting applications for data remapping. Index Terms Data locality, irregularity, load balancing, mapping, prob...

Load sensor is developed using mamdani type fuzzy model. It is two input one output model. Inputs taken for the load sensor are load and displacement and voltage is taken as output. The model is simulated using MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Toolbox and simulation results are shown in this paper. Index Terms —Fiber Bragg Grating sensor, Fuzzy logic, Load sensor, Mamdani, Windmill blades.

To determine whether ambulatory blood pressure is more predictive of left ventricular hypertrophy than is casual blood pressure in hypertensive children, echocardiography and ambulatory blood pressure data from 37 untreated hypertensive children were analyzed. Left ventricular mass was calculated using the Devereux equation, left ventricular mass index was calculated as left ventricular mass (i...

In this issue of Diabetes Care, Liese et al. (1) report on the relation of dietary glycemic index, glycemic load, carbohydrate, and fiber intake to measures of insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, and adiposity in the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (IRAS). The evaluation was confined to those with normal or impaired glucose tolerance and did not include diabetic individuals. As the...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The study examined the effects of treadmill walking with load carriage on derived measures of central pressure and augmentation index in young healthy subjects. METHODOLOGY Fourteen male subjects (age 31.0 ± 1.0 years) volunteered in this study. Subjects walked 10 minutes on a treadmill at a speed of 5 km/h carrying no load during one session and a load of 10% of t...
