Does exercise training improve insulin release during glucose tolerance testing in stable chronic heart failure patients?
Our data suggest that exercise training attenuates worsening of glucose regulation typically seen in a stable CHF population.
The prevalence of identified depression in the MEPS-NHC is lower than that previously estimated using formal diagnostic assessment techniques for threshold and subthreshold depressive states combined. Therefore, MDS-identified depression may underestimate the burden of depression. Underrecognition may be particularly acute in black or African-American residents, the oldest old, and the cognitively impaired. Further research on the relationship of MDS-identified depression and depression identified through structured diagnostic interviews in broadly representative samples of nursing home residents is needed to expand the availability of descriptive epidemiological data, to help clarify the results of research making use of MDS data, and to suggest methods for optimizing clinical and administrative data systems.
