The mean HbAlc level was significantly higher (p<0.001) in the Nil group (10.6+1.5 %) than in the CI group (8.2+1.2%) or the control group (8.34-1.5 %). The MI group had higher mean total cholesterol (235.34-35.3 vs. 208.14-30.4 mg/dl, p<0.05) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) (149.54-34.7 vs. 117.94-21.6 mg/dl, p<0.05) levels compared to those of the control group. The mean Cr level was significantly higher in the MI group than in the other two groups. A multivariate analysis showed that BP and LDL-C level were independently related to CI, while the diastolic BP, HbAlc level and LDL-C level were related to MI. Conclusion Hypertension and hyperlipidemia are important predictors for the onset of CI in type 2 diabetic patients. Diabetic control, hyperlipidemia and renal function are important predictors for the onset of MI.

The objective of this study is to evaluate whether a free web-based alcohol curriculum would be used by physician educators and whether in-person faculty development would increase its use, confidence in teaching and teaching itself.

This &amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;integrated&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot; approach seeks to study science through a broader interdisciplinary lens in order to better anticipate, understand, and address its ethical, legal, and social implications. The authors review the origins and evolution of this trend, as well the arguments which have been formulated by both proponents and critics of integration. By using Genome Canada&amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s &amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;GE(3)LS&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot; Research Program as a case study, the authors discuss the successes and continuing challenges of this model based on evaluation results available to date. The authors then go on to examine and compare three possible models for improving the future success of the GE(3)LS research program, including: 1) enhancing the current integrated research approach through incremental refinements based on concrete evidence and lessons learned; 2) promoting greater interaction and synergy across GE(3)LS research projects through a deliberate, systematic and coordinated &amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;hub and spoke&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot; approach; and 3) taking a broad programmatic approach to GE(3)LS research by creating a central resource of available expertise and advisory capacity.
