There is accumulating evidence that insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia are involved in the etiology of endometrial cancer. Dietary intake can influence insulin levels especially among individuals who are already insulin resistant. Coffee drinking has been reported to have beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity. Glycemic index and load are concepts developed to quantify the glycemic resp...

Abstract This article aims at presenting a narrative of Critical Policy Studies as school thought that is built, reflexively, within the field, consolidating and pluralizing it. approach, although little known in Brazil, represents, increasingly, an alternative consistent path studies, distinguishes itself by assuming centrality language unit analysis policy processes; choosing interpretation m...

This paper provides a model that uses preference heterogeneity to rationalize the crosssectional and intertemporal variation in a firm’s product proliferation strategies. Product-line dynamics arise from shocks to preference heterogeneity. For example, in the potato chip category I study, consumer concerns over fat levels in foods created two desirable alternatives (low fat and zero fat) for ea...

A quarter of a century before the advent of biochemical tools for taxonomic approaches, Schwarz and Schwarz (1943) published a pioneering survey of the systematics of the house mouse. All taxa were then considered as subspecies of the house mouse (Mus musculus). In other words, there was only one species within the subgenus Mus. It was a relatively large-scale study, but the taxonomic criteria ...

Background: At a teaching hospital with large cohort of novice trainees each year, we supplemented monthly regional FRCA fortnightly small-group, local programme. Feedback collated before implementation the quality improvement project highlighted demand for teaching. We present sustainable, peer-led programme that is easy to run.
