Journal ArticleDOI
Sustained pectin ingestion: effect on gastric emptying and glucose tolerance in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients.
TL;DR: Sustained pectin ingestion slowed the gastric-emptying rate and improved glucose tolerance; however, a direct relationship could not be demonstrated between changes in gastric emptying and changes in the incremental area under the glucose curve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Losartan on Mitral Valve Changes After Myocardial Infarction.
Philipp E. Bartko,Jacob P. Dal-Bianco,J. Luis Guerrero,Jonathan Beaudoin,Catherine Szymanski,Dae-Hee Kim,Margo M. Seybolt,Mark D. Handschumacher,Suzanne Sullivan,Michael L. Garcia,James S. Titus,Jill Wylie-Sears,Whitney S. Irvin,Emmanuel Messas,Albert Hagège,Alain Carpentier,Elena Aikawa,Joyce Bischoff,Robert A. Levine +18 more
TL;DR: Profibrotic changes of tethered MV leaflets post-MI can be modulated by losartan without eliminating adaptive growth, and these changes could provide new opportunities to reduce ischemic MR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic mitral regurgitation--more than meets the eye.
TL;DR: Current clinical guidelines indicate that there is conflicting evidence regarding exercise testing in valvular disease and that no efficacy has been established; advocates suggest exploring the dynamics of the ventricle, not the valve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional echocardiography: techniques and applications.
TL;DR: The ability to answer new questions about the heart could be increased if 2-dimensional images could be combined to display 3-dimensional relations, which would permit analysis of structures of unknown or complex shape and the noninvasive quantification of cardiac chamber size and function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic accuracy of serum hyaluronic acid, FIBROSpect II, and YKL-40 for discriminating fibrosis stages in chronic hepatitis C.
Preeti Mehta,Robert Ploutz-Snyder,Jyotirmoy Nandi,Sekou Rawlins,Schuyler O. Sanderson,Robert A. Levine +5 more
TL;DR: HA can be utilized as a reliable surrogate marker in distinguishing three clinically relevant stages of fibrosis: absent/minimal, intermediate, and advanced/cirrhosis.
