Aim This study explored the effect of a moderate (90 g/d) low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) in type 2 diabetes patients over 18 months. Methods Ninety-two poorly controlled aged 20–80 years with HbA1c ≥7.5% (58 mmol/mol) previous three months were randomly assigned to 90 g/d LCD r traditional diabetic (TDD). The primary outcomes glycaemic control status and change medication score (MES). secondary lipid profiles, small, dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL), serum creatinine, microalbuminuria...

Abstract Gait velocity has been considered the sixth vital sign. It can be used not only to estimate survival rate of elderly, but also predict tendency falling. Unfortunately, gait is usually measured on a specially designed walk path, which done at clinics or health institutes. Wearable tracking services using an accelerometer inertial measurement unit measure for certain time interval, all time, due lack sustainable energy source. To tackle shortcomings wearable sensors, this work...

Gait velocity has become a valid and important metric for senior populations. However, existing approaches to measure gait are either limited specific location or too expensive be applied. IoT middleware allows the systems collect data in large space collaborative manner. it is great challenge of integrating numbers low-cost devices accomplish task. This paper presents design, implementation, findings using thermal sensors monitor activity index home environment. The system built on top...

Gait velocity has been considered the sixth vital sign. It can not only be used to estimate survival rate of elderly but also predict tendency falling. Unfortunately, gait is required measured using specially designed walk path with minimal distance, which conducted at clinics or health institutes. Wearable tracking services accelerometer inertial measurement unit measure for certain time interval all due lack sustainable energy source. To tackle shortcoming wearable sensors, this work...

Medical education in Taiwan is a seven-year program after high school. The curricula are basic college courses the first two years, medical sciences third and fourth clinical fifth sixth years (clerkship), rotating internship seventh year. In 1997, curriculum reform was undertaken at National University College of Medicine (NTUCM) which humanities interwoven with learning basic, clinical, high-tech medicine. Various have been integrated into existing including lectures on history, ethics...

Purpose: To test the hypothesis that using explicit behavioral criteria for evaluation can improve accuracy of students' self-evaluation in problem-based learning (PBL). Methods: Second to fourth-year medical students a seven-year curriculum were studied. PBL performance was assessed by student version Tutotest (S-Tutotest(superscript C)) self-evaluation, and facilitating tutors tutor (T-Tutotest(superscript global rating score feedback. A multiple-choice achievement taken at end course....

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect at a one-year follow-up after an 18-month randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 90 gm/day low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) in type 2 diabetes. Research design and methods Eighty-five poorly diabetic patients with initial HbA1c ≥ 7.5% who have completed on g/day were recruited followed for one year. A three-day weighted food record, relevant laboratory tests, medication score (MES) obtained end previous year total 30 months period specific diet. Results 71...
