The authors report results on a new robotic kidney transplantation technique for obese patients that has comparable patient outcomes compared to an open procedure. Obese with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are often excluded from due concerns about surgical site infections. To reduce infections, we developed method recipients. From June 2009 December 2011, prospective cohort of 39 underwent at single center. least 6 months follow-up (n = 28) were frequency-matched retrospective who 2004 28)....
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to report the prevalence, risk, and implications comorbidity between partner violence psychiatric disorders. METHOD: Data were obtained from a representative birth cohort 941 young adults through use Conflict Tactics Scales Diagnostic Interview Schedule. RESULTS: Half those involved in had disorder; one-third with disorder violence. Individuals severe elevated rates wide spectrum CONCLUSIONS: findings support importance mental health clinicians...
The superomedial pedicle vertical scar breast reduction is gaining popularity for its round, projecting and shorter incision when compared with the traditional Wise-pattern using an inferior pedicle. However, there a paucity of large-volume institutional outcomes studies identifying how this technique fares against more methods reduction.A retrospective review prospectively maintained database bilateral reductions over 3-year period was performed. One hundred (50 patients) were matched to...
Islet transplantation is a promising therapy for T1DM. Key factors influencing islet yield have been identified with conflicting results. In this study, we analyzed 276 isolations to identify variables and, additionally, size and distribution. Pearson correlation analyses demonstrated that BMI had positive pancreas size, actual count (AIC), equivalent (IEQ)/g (all p ≤ 0.009), while CIT negative AIC IEQ/g 0.003). mixed linear regression, also but only shorter digestion times (≤15 min); there...
A significant number of potential kidney transplant candidates do not complete the required medical evaluation after referral to a program.Factors associated with rate completion renal were analyzed using retrospective chart review patients first seen between October 1, 2009, and September 30, 2010 (n=256). The primary endpoint was in 12 months. Independent variables included socioeconomic, demographic, factors.Mean age 50.7 years; 49.6% black, 28.5% Hispanic, 21.9% white other; 26.3% did...
Background: Diabetes is a serious worldwide public health challenge. The burden of diabetes, including prevalence and risk complications, greater for minorities, particularly African Americans. Internet-based immersive virtual worlds offer unique opportunity to reach large diverse populations with diabetes self-management education support. Objective: objective the study was examine acceptability, usage, preliminary outcome world intervention, Island, in low-income Americans type 2 diabetes....
Access to specialized medical care is critical decrease complications and minimize long-term morbidity, yet racial disparities in cleft surgery persist as time initial reconstruction remains delayed among minority patients. Research has demonstrated an average 3-week delay for patients nationally. A retrospective chart review of patient demographics, visit timing, surgical history was performed who underwent primary lip with or without palate (CL + P) between 2002 2016 at urban craniofacial...
Objective: While the American Diabetes Association (ADA) screening guidelines have been used widely, way they are implemented and adapted to a particular setting can impact their practical application usage. Our primary objective was validate best practice advisory (BPA) algorithm informed by ADA identify patients eligible for hemoglobin a1c (HbA1c) testing in emergency department (ED). Methods: This cross-sectional study included adults presenting large urban medical center’s ED May 2021....
Aims: We developed a prediction model for elevated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) among patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) at risk diabetes identify important factors that may influence follow-up patient care. Methods: Retrospective electronic health records data screened ED in May 2021 was used. The primary outcome HbA1c (≥ 5.7%). divided into derivation set (80%) and test (20%) stratified by HbA1c. In set, we estimated optimal significance level backward elimination using 10-fold...
Context: Delayed menarche is associated with subsequent reproductive and skeletal complications. Previous research has found delayed growth pubertal maturation type 1 diabetes poor glycemic control. The effect of management on important to clarify, because tighter control might prevent these Objective: objective this study was investigate age at in young women examine the [e.g. total glycosylated hemoglobin (GHb) level, number blood glucose checks, insulin therapy intensity, dose] those...

Objective: We examined sleep in families of individuals with type 1 diabetes and the relationship obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance. Methods: Probands diagnosed before age 18 first- second-degree relatives were included ( n = 323). Demographic, anthropometric clinical variables, self-reported duration napping assessed. Results: On average, adults (≥20 years) slept 7.5 SD 1.5) hr, whereas children (5–11 adolescents (12–19 9.8 1.1) 8.5 1.9) respectively p < .01). Based on national...
Determine the impact of islet transplantation on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), a marker for atherosclerosis, in type 1 diabetes without kidney disease.
Individuals with type 1 diabetes may have low IGF-1, related to insulinopenia and insulin resistance. There are few longitudinal studies of IGF-1 levels establish its pattern in duration age, examine whether tracks within individuals over time. We age trends, the relationship gender, glycaemic control, level other factors.Participants Wisconsin Diabetes Registry Study, an incident cohort study diagnosed May 1987-April 1992, were followed for up 18 years samples 45 women 37 men.IGF-1 is lower...
This cross-sectional study describes a screening program that was developed to screen for type 2 diabetes in an urban emergency department setting the US.
Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) control non-visual light responses (e.g. pupillary reflex and circadian entrainment). Patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) show reduced ipRGC function, as inferred by abnormalities in the post illumination pupil response (PIPR). We explored whether function DR is associated outputs sleep/wake behavior.Forty-five participants (15 without diabetes, 15 type 2 diabetes (T2D) no DR, T2D DR) participated. was from PIPR (pupil size...
Insulin downregulates hepatic production of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), which in turn influences hormone bioavailability. The effects childhood-onset diabetes and insulin resistance nondiabetic individuals on SHBG testosterone children young adults are poorly understood.Individuals with diagnosed at <18 years age (n = 48) their siblings without 47) were recruited for the Chicago Childhood Diabetes Registry Family Study. total free measured. Participants ranged from 10 to 32 years;...
OBJECTIVE Insulin resistance is greater in racial/ethnic minorities than non-Hispanic whites (NHWs) for those with and without type 2 diabetes. Because previous research on insulin 1 diabetes was limited to NHWs, variation an estimated measure of determined. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The sample included 79 individuals diagnosed at age &lt;18 years (32.9% 46.8% black [NHB], 7.6% other/mixed, 12.7% Hispanic) their families.
