TLDR
A simple, fast, efficient, and accurate automated method is described for determining the quantity of glucose in 50 µl of serum or plasma using a hexokinase/glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase reaction requiring incubation at room temperature.Abstract:
A simple, fast, efficient, and accurate automated method is described for determining the quantity of glucose in 50 µl of serum or plasma. A hexokinase/glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase reaction requiring incubation at room temperature is used. The method is specific for glucose, and is not affected by increased concentrations of endogenous chemical substances in uremic sera or by several common drugs that interfere with other glucose methods. Results of parallel assays, in which glucose oxidase and o -toluidine are used, are compared.read more

TL;DR: Knowing the relationship between HbA(1c) and plasma glucose (PG) levels in patients with type 1 diabetes can help patients with diabetes and their healthcare providers set day-to-day targets for PG to achieve specific HBA( 1c) goals.

TL;DR: Revisions may be warranted for BMI cut points to define obesity among South Asians, Chinese, and Aboriginals, as the cut point to define Obesity, as defined by distribution of glucose and lipid factors, is lower among non-European groups compared with Europeans.

TL;DR: The increased aortic PWV in patients with osteoporosis and the association with systemic inflammation suggest that age-related bone and vascular changes occur prematurely in COPD.
