BACKGROUND Previous epidemiological investigations of associations between dietary glycemic intake and insulin resistance have used average daily measures of glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL). We explored multiple and novel measures of dietary glycemic intake to determine which was most predictive of an association with insulin resistance. METHODS Usual dietary intakes were assessed ...

This article is concerned with a dual mixed formulation of the Navier-Stokes system in a polygonal domain of the plane with Dirichlet boundary conditions and its numerical approximation. The gradient tensor, a quantity of practical interest, is introduced as a new unknown. The problem is then approximated by a mixed finite element method. Quasi-optimal a priori error estimates are obtained. The...

Staphylococcus aureus protein A (SpA) is the most popular affinity ligand for immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1). However, the molecular basis for the dissociation dynamics of SpA-IgG1 complex is unclear. Herein, coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with the Martini force field were used to study the dissociation dynamics of the complex. The CG-MD simulations were first verified by the...

One organizational innovation introduced by the clean energy for all Europeans package (CEP) is that of community (EC), including renewable (REC) and citizen (CEC). The translation related directives into national legislation underway in Sweden, Swedish Energy Market Inspectorate (Ei) has proposed a new law on ECs, which been sent consultation. This article analyzes Ei proposal responses from 2...

This paper proposes a modal logic reconstruction of temporal reasoning about partially ordered events in a logic programming framework. It considers two variants of Kowalski and Sergot's Event Calculus (EC): the Skeptical EC (SKEC) and the Credulous EC (CREC). In the presence of partially ordered sequences of events, SKEC and CREC derive the maximal validity intervals over which the relevant pr...

Electronic cigarettes (ECs) are a device that aerosolize liquid nicotine by heating a solution of nicotine, glycerol and flavoring agents. The awareness and the usage of ECs has increased in many countries. Due to the online sales and the absence of EC regulations, the prevalence of EC usage is especially high in adolescents and young adults. Due to the large amount and the high nicotine concen...

Relapsed or refractory Burkitt's lymphoma often has a poor prognosis in spite of intensive chemotherapy that induces apoptotic and/or necrotic death of lymphoma cells. Rapamycin (Rap) brings about autophagy, and could be another treatment. Further, anti-CD19-targeted liposomal delivery may enable Rap to kill lymphoma cells specifically. Rap was encapsulated by anionic liposome and conjugated wi...

BACKGROUND Gastric leak (GL) represents one of the main early-onset postoperative complication of sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Most studies of GL featured short series and no data on the time to reoperation for persistent GL. OBJECTIVES Characterize the time between discovery of persistent post-SG GL and the implementation of reoperation. SETTING University hospital, France, public practice. ...

Background & Aims: Date syrup is a natural sweetener rich in antioxidants. In addition, fructose is the predominant sugar in date syrup, which elevates blood glucose at a slower pace than the other types of sugar. The objective of this study was to evaluate the glycemic response of healthy persons to dietetic sour cherry jam prepared with date syrup. Methods: In this clinical trial, the glycemi...
