RESUMEN
AIMS: To characterize the incidence of type 2 diabetes in the UK over the previous 20 years; and determine if there has been an increase in people aged 40 years or less at diagnosis. METHODS: For this retrospective cohort study, patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes between 1991 and 2010 were identified from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). Patient data were grouped into 5-year intervals by year of diagnosis and age at diagnosis. A standardized incidence ratio (SIR) was determined (1991-1995 = 100). The percentage of newly diagnosed patients for each age group and aged ≤40 years was calculated for each 5-year calendar period. The incidence rate by age and 5-year calendar period was also determined. RESULTS: In 2010, the crude incidence rate of type 2 diabetes was 515 per 100,000 population. The overall SIR increased to 158 (95% CI 157-160, p < 0.001), 237 (235-238, p < 0.001) and 275 (273-276, p < 0.001) for 1996-2000, 2001-2005 and 2006-2010, respectively. For those ≤40, the respective values were 217 (209-226, p < 0.001), 327 (320-335, p < 0.001) and 598 (589-608, p < 0.001). An increase in incidence occurred with increasing 5-year calendar period. The incidence of type 2 diabetes was higher for males after the age of 40 and higher for females aged ≤40. The percentage of patients aged ≤40 years at diagnosis increased with each increasing 5-year calendar period (5.9, 8.4, 8.5 and 12.4%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: There was a significant increase in the incidence of diagnosed type 2 diabetes between 1991 and 2010 and the proportion of people diagnosed at a relatively early age has increased markedly.

We investigated whether 6 wk of antioxidant supplementation (AS) would enhance 30 km time trial (TT) cycling performance. Eleven elite male cyclists completed a randomized, double-blind, cross-over study to test the effects of twice daily AS containing essential vitamins plus quercetin (FRS), and AS minus quercetin (FRS-Q) versus a baseline TT (B). MANOVA analysis showed that time to complete the 30 km TT was improved by 3.1% on FRS compared to B (P < 0.01), and by 2% over the last 5 km (P < 0.05). Absolute and relative (%HRmax) heart rates and percent VO2max were not different between trials, but average and relative power (% peak power) was higher on FRS (P < or = 0.01). Rates of carbohydrate and fat oxidation were not different between trials. Thus, FRS supplementation significantly improved high-intensity cycling TT performance through enhancement of power output. Further study is needed to determine the potential mechanism(s) of the antioxidant efficacy.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether ingestion of a multinutrient supplement containing 3 tricarboxylic-acid-cycle intermediates (TCAIs; pyridoxine-alpha-ketoglutarate, malate, and succinate) and other substances potentially supporting the TCA cycle (such as aspartate and glutamate) would improve cyclists' time to exhaustion during a submaximal endurance-exercise test (approximately 70 % to 75 % VO2peak) and rate of recovery. Seven well-trained male cyclists (VO2max 67.4 2.1 mL x kg(-1) x in(-1), 28.6 +/- 2.4 y) participated in a randomized, double-blind crossover study for 7 wk. Each took either the treatment or a placebo 30 min before and after their normal training sessions for 3 wk and before submaximal exercise tests. There were no significant differences between the TCAI group (KI) and placebo group (P) in time to exhaustion during cycling (KI = 105 +/- 18, P = 113 +/- 11 min); respiratory-exchange ratio at 20-min intervals; blood lactate and plasma glucose before, after, and at 30-min intervals during exercise; perceived exertion at 20-min intervals during exercise; or time to fatigue after the 30-min recovery (KI = 16.1 +/- 3.2, P = 15 +/- 2 min). Taking a dietary sport supplement containing several TCAIs and supporting substances for 3 wk does not improve cycling performance at 75 % VO2peak or speed recovery from previously fatiguing exercise.

OBJECTIVES: Delay in maturation or failure of maturation of Cimino-Brescia fistulae contributes to the significant vascular access-related morbidity of chronic hemodialysis patients. Increased size and capacitance of native veins before the formation of vascular access has been considered an important variable in the success rate of native fistulae. We evaluated whether a formal exercise program might alter the size of native veins. METHODS: The effect of exercise on venous size was evaluated in 5 patients with severe chronic renal failure [glomerular filtration rate, 30.6 +/- 5.3 mL/min (mean +/- SD)]. Five male patients with a mean age of 57 +/- 9 years underwent a 6-week forearm exercise training program, involving nondominant arms, that included isometric hand-grip contractions to 25 to 35% of MVC lasting 40 to 120 seconds and repetitive squeezing of squash and racquet balls. Both the volume and intensity of exercise training was increased weekly based on strength measured by hand-grip dynamometer and on the patients' indicated level of comfort. Cephalic vessel size in both the nondominant (trained) and dominant (control) arms, with and without a tourniquet, were obtained using Doppler ultrasound before and after the 6-week exercise training program. RESULTS: The size of the cephalic vein of the exercised arm increased significantly ( < 0.05) compared with the control arm when measured in both the absence (048 +/- 0.016 versus 0.024 +/- 0.023 cm ) and the presence of a tourniquet (0.056 +/- 0.022 versus 028 +/- 0.027 cm ). CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that a simple, incremental resistance, exercise-training program can cause a significant increase in the size of the cephalic vein commonly used in the creation of an arteriovenous fistula. The increase in size and resultant probable increase in blood flow might accelerate the maturation of native arteriovenous fistulae, thereby lessening the morbidity associated with vascular access.
