Improved Repeatability of the Estimation of Pulsatility of Inferior Vena Cava.

The inferior vena cava (IVC) shows variations of cross section over time (pulsatility) induced by different stimulations (e.g., breathing and heartbeats).

Cochlear, auditory brainstem responses in Type 1 diabetes: relationship with metabolic variables and diabetic complications.

Aims: Few studies have analysed the presence of hearing abnormalities in diabetes. We assessed the presence of subclinical auditory alterations and their possible association with early vascular and neurological dysfunction in young adults with Type 1 diabetes of long duration.

Methods: Thirty-one patients with Type 1 diabetes (mean age 33 ± 2.

Dual task-related gait changes in patients with mild cognitive impairment.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) entails a high risk of developing Alzheimer's dementia. In MCI patients gait impairment, which increases the risk of falls and institutionalization, is an early motor sign. A dualtask (DT) paradigm might improve the observation of this phenomenon.

Physiological performance of quails that underwent dietary and pharmacological manipulation of cholesterol.

The present work evaluated whether dietary and pharmacological interference on cholesterol synthesis were capable of inducing alterations in blood and yolk cholesterol levels and the secretion of corticosterone metabolites. Forty-five 40-day-old quails were divided into three experimental groups: vegetal fat diet, 2% beef fat (tallow) diet and vegetal fat diet with simvastatin administration (3.13 mg/kg/day).

Diagnosis of type 1 diabetes within the first five years of life influences quality of life and risk of severe hypoglycemia in adulthood.

Progressive adaptation to disease is paramount to improve quality of life (QoL) and other psychological dimensions in type 1 diabetes (T1DM). This study aimed at identifying possible correlations between QoL, locus of control (LoC) and clinical variables in patients with T1DM followed up for 16 years. Fifty-nine patients (27 women) with T1DM, part of a cohort of 112 followed since 1996, accepted to participate.

Clinical characteristics influence screening intervals for diabetic retinopathy.

Aims/hypothesis: Most guidelines recommend annual screening for diabetic retinopathy (DR) but limited resources and the slow progression of DR suggest that longer recall intervals should be considered if patients have no detectable lesions. This study aimed to identify the cumulative incidence and time of development of referable DR in patients with no DR at baseline, classified by clinical characteristics.

Methods: Analysis was performed of data collected prospectively over 20 years in a screening clinic based in a teaching hospital according to a consensus protocol.
