COMPARING ALTERATIONS OF BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL IN TYPE II DIABETIC PA-TIENTS TAKING METFORMIN AND WITHHOLD OF METFORMIN ON THE MORNING OF CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT SURGERY

Introduction & Objective: In the context effect of metformin in patients with acute coronary syndrome, available evidence supports cardiac effect.Yet, there is doubt about continuation or discontinuation of metformin before major surgery.The aim of the present study is to determine the efficacy of continuing metformin in plasma glucose, renal funct

This paper aims to cost-effectively improve the energy efficiency of large vessels in shipping by the optimum design of propeller boss cap fins (PBCFs).First, a model propeller of the modern four-blade propeller in a Ro-Ro ship, with no boss cap fin in its original design, is experimentally and numerically investigated.The computational fluid dynam

In this review paper aimed at the non-specialist, we explore the use that neuroscientists and musicians have made of perceptual illusions based on ambiguity.The pivotal issue is auditory scene analysis, or what enables us to make sense of complex acoustic mixtures in order to follow, for instance, a single melody in the midst of an orchestra.In gen

In the present experiment, we used event-related potentials (ERP) to investigate the role of immediate and delayed feedback in an artificial grammar learning task.Two groups of participants were engaged in classifying non-word strings according to an underlying rule system, not known to Food Service the participants.Visual feedback was provided aft

Karst groundwater is highly vulnerable to contamination, which urges better land use zoning.This paper proposes a new approach, called COCKPIT-PLUS, to minimize groundwater contamination within cockpit karst regions.The method employed four parameters: P (the existence of ponor/swallow hole), L (lineament density), U (sinking stream to an undergrou
