INSIGHTS FROM QUALITATIVE RESEARCH ON NAFLD AWARENESS WITH A COHORT OF T2DM PATIENTS: TIME TO GO PUBLIC WITH INSULIN RESISTANCE?

Insights from qualitative research on NAFLD awareness with a cohort of T2DM patients: time to go public with insulin resistance?

Abstract Background It is estimated that around 70% of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients (T2DM) have Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).Awareness and education are amongst the major shortcomings of the public health response to the increasing threat of NAFLD.Characterizing the specific NAFLD-related information needs of particular high-risk

Wheat TILLING mutants show that the vernalization gene VRN1 down-regulates the flowering repressor VRN2 in leaves but is not essential for flowering.

Most of the natural variation in wheat vernalization response is determined by allelic differences in the MADS-box transcription factor VERNALIZATION1 (VRN1).Extended exposures to low temperatures during the winter (vernalization) induce VRN1 expression and promote the transition of the apical meristem to the reproductive phase.In contrast to its A

On Almost b-Metric Spaces and Related Fixed Point Results

In this manuscript, we introduce almost b-metric spaces T-Shirt and prove modifications of fixed point theorems for Reich and Hardy−Rogers type contractions.We present an approach generalizing some fixed point theorems to the case of almost b-metric spaces by reducing almost b-metrics to the corresponding b-metrics.Later, we show that this ap
