CLINICAL UTILITY OF SERIAL MONITORING OF C-PEPTIDE IN DIAGNOSTIC DILEMMAS OF YOUNG-ONSET DIABETES: A CASE-BASED DISCUSSION

Clinical Utility of Serial Monitoring of C-Peptide in Diagnostic Dilemmas of Young-Onset Diabetes: A Case-Based Discussion

Diabetes in the young has been traditionally defined macallan hip flask as onset of diabetes below 35 years of age.In this age bracket, a variety of distinct types of diabetes might occur which poses a unique challenge in the diagnosis and management.Phenotypic features such as age of onset, presence of obesity and family history have traditionally

A notodontid novelty: Theroa zethus caterpillars use behavior and anti-predator weaponry to disarm host plants.

Unlike most notodontids, Theroa zethus larvae feed on plants that emit copious latex when damaged.To determine how the larvae overcome this defense, we filmed final instars on poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima, then simulated their behaviors and tested how the behaviors individually and combined affect latex exudation.Larvae initially scraped the s
