CARDIOMETABOLIC OUTCOMES OF WOMEN EXPOSED TO HYPERGLYCAEMIA FIRST DETECTED IN PREGNANCY AT 3-6 YEARS POST-PARTUM IN AN URBAN SOUTH AFRICAN SETTING.

Cardiometabolic outcomes of women exposed to hyperglycaemia first detected in pregnancy at 3-6 years post-partum in an urban South African setting.

BackgroundHyperglycaemia first detected during pregnancy(HFDP) has far-reaching maternal consequences beyond the pregnancy.Our study evaluated the cardiometabolic outcomes in women with HYDROXY B12 prior HFDP versus women without HFDP 3-6 years post-partum in urban South Africa.Design and methodsA prospective cohort study was performed of 103 black

Aryloxyphenoxypropionates tolerant and non-tolerant corn: plant-back interval after acetyl-coA-carboxylase inhibitors applications

Abstract Background: The application of Acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors prior to sowing of grass crops may result in crop damage due to residual effect of these herbicides in soil.The hypotheses was that different corn hybrids and ACCase herbicides can result in different plant-back intervals after burndown treatments.Objective: This wor

Combining damage and fracture mechanics to model calving

iPod Wire Calving of icebergs is a major negative component of polar ice-sheet mass balance.Here we present a new calving model relying on both continuum damage mechanics and linear elastic fracture mechanics.This combination accounts for both the slow sub-critical surface crevassing and the rapid propagation of crevasses when calving occurs.First,

4D-Dynamic Representation of DNA/RNA Sequences: Studies on Genetic Diversity of Echinococcus multilocularis in Red Foxes in Poland

The 4D-Dynamic Representation of DNA/RNA Sequences, an alignment-free bioinformatics method recently developed by us, has been used to study the genetic diversity of Echinococcus multilocularis in red foxes in Poland.Sequences of three mitochondrial genes, i.e., NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (nad2), cytochrome b (cob), and cytochrome c oxidase subun
