Does glucose-insulin-potassium solution improve left ventricular energetics in chronic ovine diabetes?
This study provides in vivo evidence that GIK improves LV energetics in diabetes. Oxygen utilization efficiency is improved as a result of improved stroke work efficiency and decreased unloaded LVVO(2). Improved efficiency of oxygen utilization provides a physiologic rationale for the beneficial effect of GIK in diabetic patients.
Anus-to-cecum and anus-to-polyp distances are disparate but comparable using a conversion factor of 0.57 for the CTC anus-to-cecum measurement and 0.59 for right-sided CTC anus-to-polyp or 0.78 for left-sided CTC anus-to-polyp measurements. These anus-to-polyp conversion factors could potentially augment current CTC guidelines for accurate and precise polyp localization and removal at endoscopy.
