This article is from Transplantation Research , volume 1 . Abstract Background: Most of the patients awaiting liver transplantation already have osteopenia or even osteoporosis by end-stage liver disease.In a retrospective study, we investigated the effect of pre-treatment with oral monthly ibandronate (150 mg), vitamin D3 (800 IU/day) and calcium (1 g/day) for osteopenia and osteoporosis caused by end-stage liver disease in patients before and after liver transplantation (LT).

This article is from Diabetes Care , volume 36 . Abstract OBJECTIVE: Patients with diabetes and insulin therapy with human insulin were usually instructed to use an interval of 20–30 min between the injection and meal. We examined the necessity of the injection-to-meal interval (IMI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and flexible insulin therapy with human insulin. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In this randomized, open crossover trial, 100 patients with T2DM (47% men, mean age =...

This article is from BMC Nephrology , volume 14 . Abstract Background: Dendritic cells (DC) are professional antigen-presenting cells in the immune system. They patrol the blood as circulating dendritic cell precursors (DCP). Decreased blood DCP count has been shown to be related to atherosclerotic plaque burden. Since chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with chronic inflammation and increased cardiovascular risk, the aim of our study was to investigate a potential effect of CKD on...

This article is from International Journal of Biomedical Science : IJBS , volume 2 . Abstract To investigate Metacarpal Index (MCI) and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) estimated by Digital X-ray Radiogrammetry (DXR) with respect to its ability to quantify severity-dependent variations of bone mineralisation in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis compared to Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), 122 patients underwent a prospective analysis of BMD and MCI by DXR, whereas both DXR-parameters...
