Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the feasibility of conducting a case-finding programme for Type 2 diabetes mellitus in primary health care and to see whether random urinary glucose or random capillary blood glucose testing is the most suitable instrument for the early detection of Type 2 diabetes. Residents in the community of Låxa aged 35-64 years were subjected to testing during 1983-1987; those aged 65-79 were included from July 1985 and onwards. The urinary glucose testing was considered positive if a urinary dipstick was not unequivocally negative. The random blood glucose test was regarded as positive when > or = 8.0 mmol l-1. A diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes made within a follow-up period of 3 years from the initial examination was regarded as a positive outcome. Random blood glucose testing was performed on 3268 persons which was close to 85% of the eligible population. Urinary glucose tests were missing in 67 subjects. The random blood glucose test was positive in 220 persons and the urinalysis in 42 persons. A total of 234 individuals had a positive test, out of which 66 new diabetic cases were found. Sixty-four of these were detected by the random blood glucose testing and 20 by the urinalysis. The sensitivity fo...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
