We evaluated the effect of sitagliptin on glycemic control, endogenous insulin secretion, and beta cell function in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) receiving a combination of oral antidiabetics and basal insulin analog glargine (basal-supported oral therapy [BOT]). Twenty-one patients showing inadequate glycemic control with BOT were given dipeptidylpeptidase-4 inhibitor ...

The following paper showcases new integrated Pd-L2Ork system and its K12 educational counterpart running on Raspberry Pi hardware. A collection of new externals and abstractions in conjunction with the Modern Device LOP shield transforms Raspberry Pi into a cost-efficient sensing hub providing Arduino-like connectivity with 10 digital I/O pins (including both software and hardware implementatio...

herbal extracts have been successfully used in dentistry as tooth cleaning and antimicrobial plaque agents. the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effects of a dental gel containing barberry extracts (from berberis vulgaris) on gingivitis and microbial plaque control. a double blind clinical trial study was conducted in a dormitory on 45 boys aged 11-12 years having the same socioec...

OBJECTIVE Pharmacokinetic interactions exist between combined oral contraceptives and protease inhibitors (PI). However, such information is lacking for progestin-only oral contraception. We sought to define the steady-state pharmacokinetic interaction between norethindrone (NET) and PI in HIV-infected women. METHODS AND DESIGN We conducted an open-label, prospective, nonrandomized trial to c...

We explore alternate theories of gravity where the gravitational term in Lagrangian $\frac{R}{8\pi G}$ is replaced by a function $f_1(R)$ and matter multiplied $f_2(R)$. argue that nuclear physics can provide strong experimental constraints on such theories. In particular using energy conditions pressure $^4$He nucleus, for $f_1(R)=\frac{R}{8\pi $f_2(R)=1+\lambda R$, we find limit $|\lambda| < ...

Several studies have found an association between the rare Pi-alleles and asthma or bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR). This study deals with the effect of Pi-type on BHR among 2,308 young Danish people living in rural areas with a mean +/- SD age of 19.7+/-2.4 yrs. Interviews, pulmonary function testing, bronchial histamine provocation and skin-prick tests were performed. Serum alpha1-antitry...
