Considering the fact that many Muslims with diabetes prefer to fast in spite of inhibitory advises and to answer several conflicts and controversies regarding diabetes and Ramadan, IDF in collaboration with Diabetes and Ramadan (DAR) International in Alliance decided to develop a comprehensive guideline to be used by health care professionals. This guideline was then developed on April 2016 by ...

This project was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, under the Changes in Health Care Financing and Organization (HCFO) initiative, grant number 29201. An earlier version of the paper was presented at the 1999 annual meeting of the Population Association of America. The authors are grateful to Linda Bilheimer, Pam Loprest, Stan Panis, Cori Uccello, Sheila Zedlewski, and especially Len...

One of Stan Changnon’s abiding interests is the frequency and pattern of large hail occurrence. Stan started publishing papers in AMS journals on the occurrence of large hail in 1966. After that initial effort, Stan has published 27 papers in AMS journals alone. When other journals, such as those of the AGU, Conference Preprints, and Technical Reports are added, Stan has an amazing record of do...

In our previous analysis of nucleon-nucleon (NN) elastic scattering data [1], the upper energy limit was extended from 2.5 to 3.0 GeV in the laboratory kinetic energy, Tp, in order to accomodate higher-energy proton-proton (pp) scattering measurements from SATURNE II at Saclay and the EDDA Collaboration at COSY. Comparisons were made with the direct amplitude reconstruction (DAR) and partial-wa...

Ein wichtiger Baustein des neu entdeckten World Wide Web – des ”Web 2.0“ – stellen Folksonomies dar. In diesen Systemen können Benutzer gemeinsam Ressourcen verwalten und mit Schlagwörtern versehen. Die dadurch entstehenden begrifflichen Strukturen stellen ein interessantes Forschungsfeld dar. Dieser Artikel untersucht Ansätze und Wege zur Entdeckung und Strukturierung von Nutzergruppen (”Commu...

Previous work has demonstrated that in utero cocaine exposure induces an uncoupling of brain D(1A) dopamine receptors (D(1A)DARs) from G(s)-protein. The present work is an attempt to define the mechanism underlying the uncoupling. We detected a significant elevation of phosphoserine in frontal cortical D(1A)DARs of rabbits that were exposed prenatally to cocaine compared with saline controls. T...

INTRODUCTION Dopamine (DA) binds to five receptors (DAR), classified by their ability to increase (D1R-like) or decrease (D2R-like) cAMP. In humans, most DA circulates as dopamine sulfate (DA-S), which can be de-conjugated to bioactive DA by arylsulfatase A (ARSA). The objective was to examine expression of DAR and ARSA in human adipose tissue and determine whether DA regulates prolactin (PRL) ...

ADC bioanalytical strategies With the US FDA approval of Adcetris® (brentuximab vedotin) in 2011 and Kadcyla® (ado-transtuzumab emtansine) in 2013, antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) has been a hot topic in industry. Because of the complexity of an ADC, combining monoclonal antibody and small molecule toxin, its bioanalysis has seen unprecedented amount of discussion compared to other drug modalitie...
