Journal ArticleDOI
Low Testosterone Levels Are Common and Associated with Insulin Resistance in Men with Diabetes
Mathis Grossmann,Merlin C. Thomas,Merlin C. Thomas,Sianna Panagiotopoulos,Ken Sharpe,Richard J MacIsaac,Sophie Clarke,Jeffrey D Zajac,George Jerums +8 more
TL;DR: Low testosterone levels were independently associated with insulin resistance in men with type 1 diabetes as well as type 2 diabetes, and Serial measurements revealed an inverse relationship between changes in testosterone levels and insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preoperative risk evaluation for lung cancer resection: predicted postoperative product as a predictor of surgical mortality.
TL;DR: The capacity to predict surgical mortality, complications, and functional loss by using the results of resting and exercise respiratory function in 54 consecutive patients with bronchogenic carcinoma was assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Second-generation blood tests to detect erythropoietin abuse by athletes
Christopher J. Gore,Robin Parisotto,Michael J. Ashenden,Jim Stray-Gundersen,Ken Sharpe,Will G. Hopkins,Kerry R Emslie,Chris Howe,Graham J Trout,Rymantas Kazlauskas,Allan G. Hahn +10 more
TL;DR: Objective data supported the intuitive belief that longitudinal monitoring of athletes' blood profiles will help detect blood doping and developed an approach whereby an athlete's true baseline value could be estimated with just one prior blood test.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exponential random graph (p∗) models for affiliation networks
TL;DR: This paper proposes ERGMs for two-mode affiliation networks drawing on the recent advances for one-mode networks, including new two- mode specifications, and introduces a new approach to goodness of fit for network models, using a heuristic based on Mahalanobis distance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of recombinant human erythropoietin abuse in athletes utilizing markers of altered erythropoiesis.
Robin Parisotto,M Wu,Michael J. Ashenden,Kerry R Emslie,Christopher J. Gore,Chris Howe,Rymantas Kazlauskas,Ken Sharpe,Graham J Trout,M Xie +9 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that r-HuEPO administration causes a predictable and reproducible hematologic response and this work establishes an indirect blood test which offers a useful means of detecting and deterring r- HuEPO abuse.
