When diabetes treatment is started, added, or changed (intensification of treatment) in patients with poor glycemic control, GA (glycated albumin) decreases within a few weeks, while HbA1c increases in some patients, resulting in a discrepancy between changes in GA and HbA1c.
Fasting serum taurine-conjugated bile acids are elevated in type 2 diabetes and do not change with intensification of insulin.
Stanford faculty discussed their work on how global food supplies and human health are affected by climate change, agricultural intensification and world markets.
Land-use change and intensification alters the habitats and landscapes that provide food and nesting resources for pollinators.
During recent decades, a combination of factors has led this system to change through intensification, extensification and land abandonment,.
Land-use change and intensification in tropical rainforest regions is generally linked to a loss in species diversity that especially affects forest-dependent species.
Biodiversity is a major issue in the sustainable production of bioenergy from biomass, since it is threatened by land use change and intensification.
Forms of cultural resistance arose among refugees around technological change and intensification, where some are against the use of tanker trucks to water camels, which 'corrupts nomadic life'.
However, desertification could also be due to climate change, grazing intensification, land-use shifts and industrial fuel harvesting (e.g. forest kilns) (49).
Furthermore, changes in intensification rates that affected all three treatment scenarios uniformly resulted in small changes in the relative benefit associated with the more aggressive treatment scenarios.
