BACKGROUND Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a disabling disorder characterised by persistent fatigue with a typical age of diagnosis of 35-50 years. CFS does present in those aged over 50 but whether this is a different disease in older age groups has not been considered. Therefore, we performed a clinical cohort study to examine and differentiate the clinical and autonomic features in CFS pat...

OBJECTIVE Canagliflozin, a sodium glucose cotransporter (SGLT) 2 inhibitor, is also a low-potency SGLT1 inhibitor. This study tested the hypothesis that intestinal canagliflozin levels postdose are sufficiently high to transiently inhibit intestinal SGLT1, thereby delaying intestinal glucose absorption. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This two-period, crossover study evaluated effects of canaglif...

The bulk structure of the ?-Al5Fe2 intermetallic compound consists in an ordered framework pentagonal antiprims with composition Al2Fe inside which nearly continuous chains fractionally occupied Al sites exist. At low temperature, ordering these channel atoms can occur, leading to various superstructures. Although Al5Fe2 phase is technological importance being present protective coating for ste...

OBJECTIVES Major vascular injury is a leading cause of potentially preventable hemorrhagic death in modern combat operations. An optimal resuscitation approach for military trauma should offer both rapid hemorrhage control and early reversal of metabolic derangements. The objective of this report is to establish the use and effectiveness of a damage control resuscitation (DCR) strategy in the s...

BACKGROUND Elderly and frail patients with cancer, although often treated with chemotherapy, are under-represented in clinical trials. We designed FOCUS2 to investigate reduced-dose chemotherapy options and to seek objective predictors of outcome in frail patients with advanced colorectal cancer. METHODS We undertook an open, 2 × 2 factorial trial in 61 UK centres for patients with previously...

The objective of this experiment was to determine if frequency of protein supplementation impacts physiological responses associated with reproduction in beef cows. Fourteen nonpregnant, nonlactating beef cows were ranked by age and BW and allocated to 3 groups. Groups were assigned to a 3 × 3 Latin square design, containing 3 periods of 21 d and the following treatments: 1) soybean meal supple...
