BACKGROUND
The cause of diabetes in morbidly obese patients is multifactorial, including genetic, social, and dietary components. Transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) is a gene that is related to the development of diabetes. This pilot study examines TCF7L2 expression in liver samples obtained
Infarct size assessed by myocardial single-photon emission tomography (SPET) imaging is an important prognostic parameter after myocardial infarction (MI). We compared three commercially available automatic quantification algorithms that make use of normal templates for the evaluation of infarct
