BrazIliaN Type 1 & 2 DiabetEs Disease Registry (BINDER): longitudinal, real-world study of diabetes mellitus control in Brazil.

Introduction: This study aimed at assessing the patterns of care and glycemic control of patients with diabetes (DM) in real life during a follow-up of 2 years in the public and private health sectors in Brazil.

Methods: BINDER was an observational study of patients >18 years old, with type-1 (T1DM) and type-2 DM (T2DM), followed at 250 sites from 40 cities across the five regions of Brazil. The results for the 1,266 participants who were followed for 2 years are presented.

Determinants of glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus in Brazil: A sub-analysis of the longitudinal data from the BrazIian type 1 & 2 diabetes disease registry (BINDER).

Background: Data on glycemic control and its determinants among Brazilian patients with type-2 diabetes (DM2) are scarce. The BrazIliaN Type 1 & 2 DiabetEs Disease Registry (BINDER) is a multicenter, longitudinal study, designed to investigate the glycemic control in a real-word scenario.

Methods: 1142 patients participated in the five visits of the BINDER study between April/2017 and October/2019.

Experimental assessment of the sensitiveness of an electrochemical oscillator towards chemical perturbations.

In this study we address the problem of the response of a (electro)chemical oscillator towards chemical perturbations of different magnitudes. The chemical perturbation was achieved by addition of distinct amounts of trifluoromethanesulfonate (TFMSA), a rather stable and non-specifically adsorbing anion, and the system under investigation was the methanol electro-oxidation reaction under both stationary and oscillatory regimes. Increasing the anion concentration resulted in a decrease in the reaction rates of methanol oxidation and a general decrease in the parameter window where oscillations occurred.
