Women with higher levels of testosterone were more likely to choose a comparatively risky lottery with a high potential payout over a guaranteed monetary award (P = 0.002). (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA [September 8, 2009] 106(36):15268)
Insulin- and oral hypoglycemic agent-treated type 2 diabetic patients receiving pramlintide were more likely to achieve HbA1C < 7% with less weight gain and fewer hypoglycemic events, but more nausea, in a 24-week randomized open-label study of 113 patients with type 2 diabetes assigned to receive either mealtime pramlintide (120 μg) or a titrated rapid acting insulin. (Diabetes Care [September 2009] 32(9):1577)
HbA1C underestimated mean glucose by 29 mg/dl, whereas fructosamine more closely reflected glycemia in a cross sectional study of 100 HIV-infected adults with type 2 diabetes or fasting hyperglycemia. (Diabetes Care [September 2009] 32(9):1591)
Vertebroplasty achieved no difference in overall pain scores or other outcome measures than a sham procedure at 1 week or at 1, 3, or 6 months in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 78 patients with one or two painful osteoporotic vertebral fractures. (N Engl J Med [August 6, 2009] 361(6):557)
