The Lack of the Knowledge about the Postprandial Blood Glucose by the Education using the Single Absolute Tool for the Diabetic Dietary Therapy in Japan | | Author : Toru Hyodo*, Yukie Kitajima, Noriko Mikami, Haruki Wakai, Fumitaka Nakajima, Nobuhisa Shibahara, Miho Hida, Yasuhisa Kurata, Yim Sovannbophea, Som Leakhena, Sovandy Chan, Sabo Ojano and Hideki Kawanishi | | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The diabetic dietary therapy is the primary strategy to control and prevent the progression of diabetes and its complications.
Energy counting based on diabetic food exchange lists, in which 1 exchange unit is equivalent to 80 kcal, has been used as the single absolute tool in dietary education in Japan for patients with diabetes for 1993 to 2013 by Japan Diabetes Society. And the 5th and 6th editions of this material had put emphasis on only energy intake and made light of the fact that the postprandial blood glucose levels depend on carbohydrate intake. This approach may have created a misunderstanding among Japanese people that postprandial blood glucose levels are dependent on energy intake. |
| Sonography and Contrast Enhancement MDCT in the Evaluation of Complicated Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease | | Author : Francesco Messina, Francesco Loria*, Giuseppe Loria, Luciano Frosina, Francesca Frosina5 and Enrico Morano | | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Objectives: Our study is finalized to assess the role of Sonography and MDCT in the diagnostic work-up of patients with complicated Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD).
Methods: Thirty-five patients with ADPKD underwent Sonography, un-enhanced and contrast-enhancement MDCT for flank pain, haematuria and fever. Sonographic evaluation was made with patients in the supine position, full bladder, by making the patient with deep inalations, and other bedsores were used (side, prone) using other types of acoustic windows. MDCT studies were performed with volumetric acquisition technique (un-enhanced and contrast enhancement), and the relative images were evaluated at the appropriate work-station using MPR, cMIP, MIP thin and thick, and Volume endering (VRT) reconstructions. Two different Radiologists, with experience in genitourinary imaging, analysed image quality. |
