OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of depression in adult diabetic populations through a comprehensive literature review and to critically evaluate methods findings such studies from an epidemiological perspective. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A systematic scientific revealed total 20 studies, 14 which had been conducted since 1988. Nine were controlled investigations, whereas remaining 11 did not contain comparison groups. The included both treatment community samples. RESULTS range...
This study assessed whether a weight-gain restriction regimen, with or without exercise, would impact glycemic control, pregnancy outcome, and total weight gain in obese subjects gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). A of 96 GDM met the inclusion criteria were sequentially recruited, 39 self-enrolled exercise diet (ED) group, remaining 57 (D) group owing to contraindications lack personal preference exercise. All patients provided eucaloric hypocaloric consistent carbohydrate meal plan...
The risk for and predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) after kidney transplantation are not well described. Registry data that were collected by the United States Renal Data System used to investigate retrospectively new-onset AF among adult first renal allograft recipients transplant candidates who received a or wait-listed in 1995 2001 with Medicare as primary payer. events ascertained from billing records, participants followed until loss coverage December 31, 2001. Cox hazards analysis...
Limited data is available that estimates the effect of gestational weight gain on maternal and neonatal outcomes in term twin pregnancies obese women. A historical cohort study 831 (BMI ≥30.0 kg/m 2 ) women Missouri delivering 1,662 liveborn, (≥37 weeks gestation) infants 1998–2005 was conducted. Three categories were examined: <25 pounds, 25–42 >42 pounds. Adjusted odds ratios calculated with multiple logistic regression, using 2009 Institute Medicine provisional guideline pounds as...
Objective We investigated whether metoclopramide administered with diphenhydramine (MAD) relieves headache in pregnant women when acetaminophen alone is ineffective, using codeine for comparison. Study Design Normotensive the second or third trimester were randomized to MAD intravenously (10 mg and 25 mg, respectively) orally (30 mg) after 650 1,000 of failed relieve their headaches. Headache severity (pain score 0–10) was noted at intervals over 24 hours. The primary outcome reduction pain...
To determine if the correlation between magnitude of creatine kinase-myocardial band release after coronary artery bypass surgery and 6-month mortality is comparable to that patients admitted with an acute syndrome.The GUARDIAN trial tested efficacy cariporide, Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor, on reduction myocardial ischemia or death in high-risk patients. We compared survival a cohort 2332 scheduled for at entry 4233 syndrome stratified by level release. Cumulative categories was performed using...
The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) collects intermittent survey data on immunosuppressive medication use that are studied frequently as research measures. Pharmacy billing claims may provide an accurate measure of immunosuppression over time. Herein is characterized the agreement Medicare pharmacy for medications with OPTN reports. Data were drawn from United States Renal System. Participants received a kidney transplant in 2000 to 2001 had record claim drug at...
Morbidly obese individuals may have altered pulmonary diffusion during exercise. The purpose of this study was to examine diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO) and carbon monoxide (DLCO) exercise in these subjects. Ten morbidly subjects (age = 38 +/- 9 years, BMI 47 7 kg/m(2), peak oxygen consumption or VO(2peak) 2.4 0.4 l/min) nine nonobese controls 41 23 2 2.6 0.9 participated two sessions: the first measured resting O(2) determination wattage equating 40, 75, 90% uptake reserve...
In Brief Objective This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of vulvar care guidelines as initial treatment complaints. Materials and Methods A chart review was conducted at Saint Louis University Vulvar Vaginal Disease Center. Women with symptoms in absence specific identifiable causes were evaluated given for care. An 11-point Likert scale used rate follow-up visits. Compliance level determined. Results decrease mean scores shown dyspareunia (7.5 ± 2.0 4.6 3.1, p < .001), burning...
To determine how the frequency, timing and magnitude of hyperglycemia are associated with large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants in pregnancies complicated by type 1 diabetes.Charts from pregnant women diabetes (n = 70) were reviewed. Indices maternal glycemic control determined for seven gestational periods (weeks 7-10, 11-15, 16-19, 20-24, 25-28, 29-32 33-38) compared between who delivered LGA appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) infants.Of 70 pregnancies, 57% (4.3 +/- 0.4 kg) 43% AGA...
Purpose The aim of this study was to develop a noninvasive screening tool for patients with chronic pelvic pain, early-stage endometriosis, discriminatory ability the area under curve (AUC) receiver operator characteristic (ROC) over 0.8. Methods Participants were women aged 13-55 years, pain (for more than 6 months despite medical therapy), seen at Saint Louis University Center Endometriosis, from January 2012 June 2013, who found have endometriosis or not, based on histology.
