Relationship Between Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Different Time in Target Glucose Range in Elderly Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Yang P, Liu S, Li L

“…Elderly T2DM patients in the low-TIR group were more susceptible to impaired brain function, which presented mainly as abnormal reduction in and activation of functional activity in some temporal lobes, frontal lobes, and occipital lobes in the resting state, and more significant when glycemic control is poorer.Keywords: type 2 diabetes mellitus, time in range, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, low-frequency fluctuation, fractional low-frequency fluctuation, regional homogeneity…”

Preface: the paradox of generalism, a philosophical perspective by Hugh D. Loxdale, Adalbert Balog

“…This is the paradox to be faced if the reality of generalism is to be accepted. In addition, the recent widespread discovery, using molecular techniques, of morphologically-cryptic entities within hitherto accepted ‘good species’ suggests that the diet breadth of such species complexes may in turn be more complex than imagined.…”
