OBJECTIVE To determine whether short-time, real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) has long-term salutary glycemic effects in patients with type 2 diabetes who are not on prandial insulin. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a randomized controlled trial of 100 adults with type 2 diabetes who were not on prandial insulin. This study compared the effects of 12 weeks of intermittent R...

background: to investigate the expression of tnf-α, il-6, il-10 in the plasma of patients with lung cancer who received radiation therapy (rt), and to analyze the correlation between these cytokines and radiation pneumonitis (rp). materials and methods: patients with lung cancer who received 3d-crt in our hospital were prospectively evaluated. circulating cytokine levels were measured with elis...

the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of endurance (et), resistance (rt) and concurrent training (ct) on plasma levels of visfatin, insulin, glucose and insulin resistance of non-athlete men with obesity. it was a semi-experimental study. thirty six men [age: 21.48 (0.25), and bf%: 27.39 (0.52)], voluntarily participated in this study after public announcement in univer...

Gen ekspresyonunun post-transkripsiyonel düzenleyicisi olarak bilinen miRNA’lar ökaryotik canlılarda çeşitli fizyolojik ve patolojik süreçlerde rol oynamaktadır. miRNA'ların rollerinin ortaya konulması ile birlikte üzerine yapılan çalışmaların sayısı da gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Yapılan çalışmalar bütün hücre doku tiplerinde eksprese olduğu konmuştur. miRNA ekspresyon profilinin konması için yö...

This paper describes a software module for simulating “people movement” in public space such as shopping centers and cafeterias. We decompose people movement into global and local, and make a model of each of them. Global movement corresponds to following a route from a current position to a destination. In local movement, a person moves toward the next subgoal while avoiding surrounding person...

A 40-year-old male patient was admitted with complaints of right shoulder pain and decreased range of motion for two days. He was diagnosed with axillary web syndrome. Palpable subcutaneous cord which extended from axillary crease down to the ipsilateral arm was revealed. He was administered a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and arranged 15 sessions of physical therapy. To the best of our ...

The paper presents a new Formal Description Technique , RT-LOTOS (Real-Time LOTOS), which is a temporal extension of the standard Formal Description Technique LOTOS. After a brief introduction to Basic LOTOS, the main time-related operators of RT-LOTOS are detailed step by step on small examples, and then formalized (RT-LOTOS operational semantics). The second part of the paper shows the applic...

We introduce rt-inconsistency, a property of real-time requirements. The property reflects that the requirements specify apparently inconsistent timing constraints. We present an algorithm to check rt-inconsistency automatically. The algorithm works via a stepwise reduction to real-time model checking. We implement the algorithm using an existing module for the reduction and the UPPAAL tool for...
