Dans cet hommage à Hans Petter Helland, j’ai examiné deux sujets traités dans sa grammaire, Ny fransk grammatikk – morfologi, syntaks og semantikk (2006). En premier lieu, étudié la comparaison entre le futur simple et périphrastique, un sujet de thèse doctorat, Sémantique pragmatique temporelles. Futur périphrastique (1994). J’ai pu constater que, depuis 1994, Helland a modifié l’analyse séman...

OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes is characterized by beta cell dysfunction and insulin resistance (IR). The disease is associated with high rates of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Recently, the American Diabetes Association Expert Committee recommended the measurement of fasting glucose as a tool for screening and diagnosing diabetes, in order to identify patients with a mild form of the dise...

Increased serum ferritin concentrations in nonpathologic conditions, reflecting subclinical iron overload, have been reported to be associated with insulin resistance and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). However, serum ferritin concentrations differ significantly according to sex and ethnicity; and data concerning the relationship between serum ferritin concentrations and glu...

RESULTS: Hundred and sixteen pre-and post-operative 3D photo data sets were included. The sample included 29 subjects. The facial volume was analyzed both overall and comparing each subgroup (orthognathic versus orthognathic + fat grafting group). Post-operative facial volume increase averaged 23.7% for the entire cohort (FG and nFG). By week twelve, the swelling decreased about 62% from baseli...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated that newly diagnosed glucose intolerance is common among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term clinical cardiovascular outcomes in participants with AMI with abnormal fasting glucose compared with normal fasting glucose and an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) compared with a n...

This study sought to probe the role of input flooding through listening tasks on the uptake of simple present tense and the present progressive tense among pre - intermediate English a s Foreign Language ( EFL ) learners. To comply with the objective, an experimental design was adopted. 55 pre - intermediate learners participated in the study. They were randomly divided into one control group, ...

OBJECTIVE To optimize identification of future diabetic patients, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) introduced criteria for impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in 1997 (IFG 6.1 mmol/l [IFG6.1]) and lowered the threshold from 6.1 to 5.6 mmol/l (IFG5.6) in 2003. Our aim was to assess the consequences of lowering the IFG cutoff on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and to evaluate...

OBJECTIVE We sought to compare the effects of combined calcium and vitamin D supplementation versus placebo on blood glucose and markers of inflammation in nondiabetic adults aged > or =65 years. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 314 Caucasian adults without diabetes received either 500 mg calcium citrate and 700 IU vitamin D(3) or placebos daily for 3 years in a double-blind, randomized...

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of birth weight on risk of type 2 diabetes in the schoolchildren in Taiwan. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS From 1992 to 1997, all schoolchildren aged 6-18 years were screened for diabetes in Taiwan Province. This cohort consisted of 1,966 patients with diabetes and 1,780 randomly selected subjects with normal fasting glycemia (NFG). Questionnaire interviewing was de...

CONTEXT Vaspin is an adipokine with insulin-sensitizing effects identified from visceral adipose tissues of genetically obese rats. OBJECTIVE We investigated genetic and nongenetic factors that define serum concentrations of vaspin. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Vaspin levels were measured with RIA in Japanese subjects with normal fasting plasma glucose (NFG; n = 259) and type 2 diabetes...
