BACKGROUND Hypertension is commonly found in patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD). Microalbuminuria is the first clinical sign of involvement of kidneys in patients with type 2 diabetes. Uncontrolled hypertension induces a higher risk of cardiovascular events, including death, increasing proteinuria and progression to kidney disease. OBJECTIVES To determine the correlation between micr...

Early-type galaxy velocity dispersions and luminosities are correlated. The correlation estimated in local samples (≤ 100 Mpc) differs from that measured more recently in the SDSS. We show that this is also true for the ENEAR sample if galaxy luminosities are estimated using distances which have been corrected for peculiar motions. We then show that, because the estimate of the ‘true’ distance ...

This note includes some additional details as an extension to the paper “Transformation of Acyclic Phase Type Distributions for Correlation Fitting” [1].

The objective of this paper is a study of performance of various techniques for correlation control when sampling from a multivariate population within the framework of Monte Carlo simulations, especially Latin Hypercube Sampling. In particular, we study the ability of the methods to fulfill the prescribed marginals and correlation structure of a random vector for various sample sizes. Two norm...

A mechanistic link has been suggested between cam-type femoroacetabular impingement and increased stress on the symphysis pubis. This retrospective study was conducted to determine whether there is an increased prevalence of osteitis pubis, as evidenced by imaging, in patients with femoroacetabular impingement compared with age-matched control subjects. Search of a radiologic database of a larg...

Bloch and Okounkov’s correlation function on the infinite wedge space has connections to Gromov-Witten theory, Hilbert schemes, symmetric groups, and certain character functions of ĝl ∞ modules of level one. Recent works have calculated these character functions for higher levels for ĝl ∞ and its Lie subalgebras of classical type. Here we obtain these functions for the subalgebra of type D of h...

In vitro and in vivo studies have shown conflicting results regarding heat shock protein (HSP) and leptin correlation. More importantly both HSP70 and leptin are correlated with C reactive proteins. The purpose of the present study was to study the correlation between serum HSP70 and leptin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes stratified according to gender. We performed a cross sectional st...

A monochromatic point source, embedded in a three-dimensional disordered medium, is considered. The resulting intensity pattern exhibits a new type of long-range correlations. The range of these correlations is infinite and their magnitude, normalized to the average intensity, is of order 1/k0l, where k0 and l are the wave number and the mean free path respectively. 42.25.Dd, 71.55.Jv Typeset u...

Fifty type II diabetic patients (non insulin dependant diabetes mellitus) and 50 healthy individuals (without diabetes) were included in this randomized study. None of the patients studied had any diabetic complications. The levels of serum malondialdehyde (MDA) from type II diabetic patients was 5.33 ± 1.46 nmol/ml as compared to control (2.74 ± 0.4 nmol/ml). There was agedependent increase in...

The purpose of this study was to identify the correlation between foot type and posture. Subjects were 49 elderly people from a Catholic Church in the Seoul area. 13 subjects were men, and 36 were women. Questionnaire was used to identify injuries, blood pressure, history and location of pain, wallet carrying habits for men (left or right side). Resting Calcanel Stance Position (RCSP) was used ...
