Plasma alkylresorcinols C17:0/C21:0 ratio, a biomarker of relative whole-grain rye intake, is associated to insulin sensitivity: a randomized study.

Background/Objectives:Few studies have used biomarkers of whole-grain intake to study its relation to glucose metabolism. We aimed to investigate the association between plasma alkylresorcinols (AR), a biomarker of whole-grain rye and wheat intake, and glucose metabolism in individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS).Subjects/Methods:Participants were 30-65 years of age, with body mass index 27-40

A clinically confirmed family history for early myocardial infarction is associated with increased risk of obesity, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

OBJECTIVE:: The risk factor pattern underlying a parental history of myocardial infarction (MI) is incompletely understood. We examined whether a parental history of clinically verified early MI may promote development of insulin resistance, obesity and the metabolic syndrome (MetS). METHODS:: One hundred and seventy-four offspring to patients with clinically verified MI before 60 years of age i

Otoacoustic emissions and improved pass/fail separation using wavelet analysis and time windowing

A new method is presented for the purpose of improving pass/fail separation during transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) hearing screening. The method combines signal decomposition in scales using the discrete wavelet transform, non-linear denoising and scale-dependent time windowing. The cross-correlation coefficient between two subaveraged, processed TEOAE signals is used as a pass/fail

Discriminatory analysis of biochip-derived protein patterns in CSF and plasma in neurodegenerative diseases

The role of biomarkers in neurodegenerative diseases has been emphasized by recent research. Future clinical demands for identifying diseases at an early stage may render them essential. The aim of this pilot study was to test the analytical performance of two multiplex assays of cerebral markers on a well-defined clinical material consisting of patients with various neurodegenerative diseases. We

Detecting Stochastic Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance Signals in the Presence of Strong Radio Frequency Interference

Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) is a radio frequency (RF) spectroscopic technique, allowing the detection of many high explosives and narcotics. In practice, NQR is restricted by the low signal-to-noise ratio of the observed signals, a problem further exacerbated by the presence of strong RF interference (RFI). The current literature focuses on the use of conventional, multiple-pulsed NQR (cNQR
