resurgence in interest in the measurement of serum C-reactive protein in several condi-tions, including infection. A raised serum C-reactive protein concen-tration is unequivocal evidence of an active tissue damaging process. ' Although a rise in C-reactive protein concentration is said to be an early and sensitive indicator of microbial disease, ' 2 it is also a non-specific indicator of organic disease, and interpretation of a positive result may be difficult. A study was carried out at St Thomas's Hospital to measure C-reactive protein in all patients undergoing blood cultures. The aim was to determine whether serum C-reactive

We report the incidence of new atherothrombotic brain infarction (ABI) in older men and women with prior myocardial infarction and a serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol of 125 mg/dl treated with statins and with no lipid-lowering drug. Methods. The incidence of new ABI was investigated

with significant success in delaying the onset of clinical events. Epidemiological studies and small clinical trials suggest that more aggressive and sustained lowering to LDL-C below 100 mg/dl could result in 50 to 70 % reductions in vascular death. The full benefit of reducing LDL-C is only now being tested

Results of a longitudinal study of children treated early and continuously for phenylketonuria (PKU) indicated that those children whose plasma phenylalanine (Phe) levels were approximately 3-5 times normal (6-10 mg/dl; levels previously considered safe in the US) were impaired in cognitive

Abstract—Through various health-focused technology projects, we discovered that the emotional response to technology was related to uptake and sustained use of health monitoring technologies. In this paper we present a case study of how we synthesized constructs of social cognitive theory, technology as experience, and diabetes management guidelines as a framework for making design recommendations for blood glucose monitoring technology that address the emotional response of users. We suggest applying this theoretical lens for design may help attend to emotional responses of users in an effort to decouple strong negative emotions that are paired to health

The dramatic increase in incidence ofdiabetes (1) has prompted efforts toidentify individuals who have milder glucose intolerance, because early management with lifestyle change and/or medication can delay progression to dia-betes with its attendant morbidity, mor-tality, and cost (2). It has long been recognized that impaired glucose toler-ance (IGT) is a diabetes precursor, but recognition of IGT requires oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs), which many health care providers are reluctant to or-der (3). As a more convenient alternative, the American Diabetes Association has emphasized screening bymeasurement of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and lowered
