Corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis is the most common secondary cause of osteoporosis. We conducted a 12-mo, randomized clinical trial human parathyroid hormone 1-34 (hPTH 1-34) in postmenopausal women (mean age was 63 yr) with who were taking corticosteroids and replacement therapy. Response to treatment assessed bone mineral density (BMD) measurements lumbar spine by quantitative computed tomography (QCT); BMD spine, hip, forearm dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA); biochemical markers...
The present study was a 4‐week randomized trial to assess the efficacy and safety of sitagliptin, dipeptidyl‐peptidase‐4 inhibitor, in persistent or recurring type 2 diabetes after Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB). Participants (n = 32) completed mixed meal test (MMT) self‐monitoring plasma glucose (SMPG) before 4 weeks randomization either sitagliptin 100 mg daily placebo daily. Questionnaires were administered gastrointestinal discomfort. Outcome variables glucose, active...
The determinants of type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission and/or relapse after gastric bypass (RYGB) remain fully unknown. This study characterized β- and α-cell function, in cretin hormone release insulin sensitivity individuals with (remitters) or without (non-remitters) RYGB.This is a cross-sectional two distinct cohorts at least years RYGB. Each individual underwent-either an oral glucose mixed meal test; glucose, proinsulin, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, incretins leptin were...
Patient mobility, driven by patient preference is an indirect indicator of perception hospital quality. Patients' choices depend on their previous healthcare experiences, the reputation staff and network relationships between patient, doctors, general practitioners/reference specialists, etc. Therefore, analysis preferences provides idea quality as well qualitative quantitative lack services. The aim present research was to describe analyze mobility for bone marrow transplantation regarding...
creative, to attain goals, and review progress.The enablers included: expanded interaction spaces, transparency openness, monitoring, learning opportunities, promoting of local ideas solutions challenging the status quo.Tension conflict between management functions was apparent, which provided opportunities for managers enhance their behavioral complexity.Conclusions Improved capacity is essential if sustained improvements in health outcomes low-income countries are be attained.Participatory...
β-cell glucose sensitivity (BCGS) improves after gastric bypass (RYGB) in individuals diabetes (DM2) remission. We sought to assess BCGS (pmol/kg/min/mM) an oral test (OGT) and IV graded infusion (GGI) subjects with without DM2 remission RYGB. Twenty five were studied GGI 75g-OGT before 3 months Glucose, insulin, C-peptide, insulin secretion rate, GLP-1 assessed during the OGT GGI. Data are presented as mean±SD. Within between group comparisons paired unpaired t-test; GLM repeated measure...
