Sleep-disordered Breathing and Insulin Resistance in Middle-aged and Overweight Men
Naresh M. Punjabi,John D. Sorkin,John D. Sorkin,John D. Sorkin,Leslie I. Katzel,Leslie I. Katzel,Leslie I. Katzel,Andrew P. Goldberg,Andrew P. Goldberg,Andrew P. Goldberg,Alan R. Schwartz,Philip L. Smith +11 more
TL;DR: Increasing AHI was associated with worsening insulin resistance independent of obesity and Multivariable linear regression analyses revealed that sleep-disordered breathing is a prevalent condition in mildly obese men and is independently associated with glucose intolerance and insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of Progression From Impaired Glucose Tolerance to NIDDM: An Analysis of Six Prospective Studies
Sharon L. Edelstein,W. C. Knowler,R P Bain,Reubin Andres,Elizabeth Barrett-Connor,G K Dowse,S. M. Haffner,David J. Pettitt,John D. Sorkin,Denis C. Muller,V R Collins,Richard F. Hamman +11 more
TL;DR: Analysis of data from six prospective studies indicates that persons with IGT are at high risk of NIDDM and that further refinement of risk can be made by other simple measurements, and the ability to identify persons at high Risk should facilitate clinical trials in diabetes prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum Albumin Level and Physical Disability as Predictors of Mortality in Older Persons
TL;DR: A combined measure of albumin and disability reveals a strong gradient in mortality risk and may serve as a simple but useful index of frailty that can identify a high-risk group of older men and women who could be targeted for preventive and treatment efforts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time of Onset of Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus and Genetic Variation in the β3-Adrenergic–Receptor Gene
Jeremy D. Walston,Kristi D. Silver,Clifton Bogardus,William C. Knowler,Francesco S. Celi,Sharon Austin,B. S. J. Manning,A. Donny Strosberg,Michael P. Stern,Nina Raben,John D. Sorkin,Jesse Roth,Alan R. Shuldiner +12 more
TL;DR: Pima subjects homozygous for the Trp64Arg beta 3-adrenergic-receptor mutation have an earlier onset of NIDDM and tend to have a lower resting metabolic rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Repetitive Bilateral Arm Training and Motor Cortex Activation in Chronic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Andreas R. Luft,Sandy Mccombe-Waller,Sandy Mccombe-Waller,Jill Whitall,Jill Whitall,Larry W. Forrester,Larry W. Forrester,Richard F. Macko,Richard F. Macko,John D. Sorkin,John D. Sorkin,Jörg B. Schulz,Andrew P. Goldberg,Andrew P. Goldberg,Daniel F. Hanley +14 more
TL;DR: Preliminary findings suggest that BATRAC induces reorganization in contralesional motor networks and provide biological plausibility for repetitive bilateral training as a potential therapy for upper extremity rehabilitation in hemiparetic stroke.
