An in vitro human muscle preparation suitable for metabolic studies. Decreased insulin stimulation of glucose transport in muscle from morbidly obese and diabetic subjects.
(East Carolina University, 1988-08)
We have developed an in vitro muscle preparation suitable for metabolic studies with human muscle tissue and have investigated the effects of obesity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) on glucose transport. ...
Transplantation and the Trauma Surgeon
(East Carolina University, 1990-11)
The number of satisfactory vascular organs suitable for organ transplantation can be increased appreciably by a close working relationship between traumatologists and transplant surgeons. Benefits will derive from more ...
Civilian field surgery in the rural trauma setting: a proposal for providing optimal care.
(East Carolina University, 1992-09)
Rural trauma presents unique problems for surgical care. While military surgeons are prepared to provide care at or near the scene of battle, civilian literature is devoid of reports for care provided by surgeons at sites ...
Long-term effect of insulin on glucose transport and insulin binding in cultured adipocytes from normal and obese humans with and without non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
(East Carolina University, 1987-10)
We have tested the hypothesis that in vitro exposure of insulin-
resistant adipocytes with insulin results in improved insulin
action. A primary culture system of adipocytes from obese
subjects with ...
Robotic Surgical Training in an Academic Institution
(East Carolina University, 2001-10)
Objective
To detail robotic procedure development and clinical applications
for mitral valve, biliary, and gastric reflux operations, and
to implement a multispecialty robotic surgery training curriculum
for both ...
Identification and Characterization of Optimal Gene Expression Markers for Detection of Breast Cancer Metastasis
(East Carolina University, 2005-08)
Sentinel lymph node (SLN) status is highly predictive of
overall axillary lymph node involvement in breast cancer.
Historically, SLN-positive patients have undergone
axillary lymph node dissection in a second ...
Trends in esophageal cancer and body mass index by race and gender in the state of Michigan
(East Carolina University, 2009-06-23)
Background: Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus has been increasing in incidence in the U.S. over the past several decades, particularly among white males. The factors driving the racial disparity in adenocarcinomas rates are ...
Bariatric Surgery: Risks and Rewards
(East Carolina University, 2008-11)
Context: Over 23 million Americans are afflicted with severe obesity, i.e. their body mass index (in
kilograms per square meter) values exceed 35. Of even greater concern is the association of the
adiposity with comorbidities ...
Diabetes: The Evolution of a New Paradigm
(East Carolina University, 2004-01)
Insulin-like growth factor I binding in hepatocytes from human liver, human hepatoma, and normal, regenerating, and fetal rat liver.
(East Carolina University, 1988-04)
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in human hepatoma cells
(HEP-G2) has, in addition to its effect on cell growth, shortterm
metabolic effects acting through its own receptor. We
have demonstrated that normal ...
