Epidemiology of type 1 diabetes and its complications. The prevalence of type 1 diabetes in adult is estimated at 0.3 to 0.

[Type 2 diabetes in France: epidemiology, trends of medical care, social and economic burden].

Between 2001 and 2007, treatments for type 2 diabetes have increased and therapeutic choices have improved. However glycemic control remains insufficient. Cardiovascular risk control has widely increased.

Trends in the quality of care for elderly people with type 2 diabetes: the need for improvements in safety and quality (the 2001 and 2007 ENTRED Surveys).

Aim: This study aimed to characterize the sociodemographic data, health status, quality of care and 6-year trends in elderly people with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: This study used two French cross-sectional representative surveys of adults of all ages with all types of diabetes (Entred 2001 and 2007), which combined medical claims, and patient and medical provider questionnaires. The 2007 data in patients with type 2 diabetes aged 65 years or over (n=1766) were described and compared with the 2001 data (n=1801).

Weight, the metabolic syndrome, and coronary heart disease in type 2 diabetes: associations among a national French sample of adults with diabetes-the ENTRED study.

The authors examined whether obesity alone or as part of the metabolic syndrome (MS) increases coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among 2970 adults aged 30-79 years in a French national sample. MS was defined as T2DM plus self-report of 2 or more of the following: body mass index >30 kg/m(2), diagnosed hypertension, or diagnosed dyslipidemia. A subsample with physician-reported data (n =841) was further classified with measured hypertension and dyslipidemia.

Is the volume-outcome relation still an issue in the era of PCI with systematic stenting? Results of the greater Paris area PCI registry.

Aims: In acute myocardial infarction (AMI), primary percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTCA) is the preferred option when it can be performed rapidly. Because of the limited access to high PTCA volume centres in some areas, it has been suggested that PTCA could be performed in low-volume centres on AMI patients. Little data exist on the validity of this strategy in modern era PTCA.

The cardiovascular effects of mivacurium in hypertensive patients.

Unlabelled: Hypotension is common after mivacurium injection in healthy patients. This hemodynamic event had not been investigated in hypertensive patients characterized by more intense hemodynamic instability. In this open-label, multicenter, randomized, and controlled study, we sought to determine whether mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate variations were larger in hypertensive versus normotensive patients after a bolus dose of mivacurium injected over 10 or 30 s.
