Robotic surgery has been utilized increasingly, including in colorectal surgery. Newer robotic platforms are coming onto the market, and more emphasis is being placed on safety adequate training of surgeons theatre teams. Training not standardized, there no agreed structured assessment methods. Some studies minimally invasive across specialities have shown that curricula shortened learning curve and, therefore, a greater need for guidance based up-to-date available evidence subject. The...

The response to glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist treatment may be influenced by endogenous β-cell function. We investigated whether urinary C-peptide creatinine ratio assessed before or during liraglutide was associated with response.A single, outpatient urine sample for collected 2 h after the largest meal of day among two separate groups: (1) subjects initiating (0.6 → 1.2 mg daily) (2) already treated 20-32 weeks. associations between pretreatment and on-treatment HbA1c change at...
There is mounting evidence that elevated circulating concentrations of glycated insulin play a role in resistance type 2 diabetes. This study evaluated the secretion response to enteral stimulation diabetic subjects. Following mixed meal (450 kcal; 44 % carbohydrate; 40 fat; 16 protein), rose 10-fold peak (60 min) at 104.5 ± 25.0 pmol/l (p < 0.001), representing 22 total insulin. The paralleled early rises and C-peptide, which peaked 90 min were more protracted. Maximum glucose observed 50...
Abstract Aim Disordered insulin pulsatility is associated with resistant states including Type 2 diabetes. However, whether abnormal basal pulses play a role in the pathogenesis of resistance or are simply an feature remains undetermined. We investigated this relationship further by studying effect overnight (10 h) pulsatile infusion on subsequent sensitivity. Methods studied 17 diabetic patients who underwent one two protocols. In protocol A patients) separate nights we infused 0.1...
