A cost-effective screening method for preoperative hyperglycemia.

30 Oct 2009 INTRODUCTION: The preoperative encounter may offer a cost-effective opportunity for diabetes screening. METHODS: Three hundred forty-seven fasting patients had a preoperative glucose measurement determined from blood residue left on the IV needle, ... Read more...

Impaired autophagic flux mediates acinar cell vacuole formation and trypsinogen activation in rodent models of acute pancreatitis.

29 Sep 2009 The pathogenic mechanisms underlying acute pancreatitis are not clear. Two key pathologic acinar cell responses of this disease are vacuole accumulation and trypsinogen activation. We show here that both result from defective autophagy, by comparing ... Read more...

The effect of fasting on cerebral venous and dural sinus thrombosis.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine whether fasting would affect the frequency of cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis compared to other months. METHODS: All patients (n=162) with cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis admitted to three neurological centers from ... Read more...
