Aims: To explore and compare sensitivity and specificity for HbA1c ≥48. mmol/mol as a predictor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in two populations with different ethnicity and to examine the predictive value of two levels of HbA1c (≥42. mmol/mol, ≥39. mmol/mol) for prediabetes in these populations. Methods: Four cohorts were examined with an oral glucose tolerance test. (1) The MEDIM Study (n
OBJECTIVES: Tumour necrosis factor-α inhibitor (TNFi) treatment has been shown to reduce the rates of anterior uveitis (AU) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Our objective was to compare the effect of adalimumab (ADA), etanercept (ETN) and infliximab (IFX) on AU occurrence in AS, using real-world data.METHODS: Patients with AS starting ADA, ETN or IFX as their first TNFi from January 2
Despite the fact that control programs have been available for several decades, mastitis remains an important problem in dairy herds around the world. Possible reasons for this include poor uptake and application of recommended mastitis control measures; poor or variable compliance; or variability in the effects of these measures.
