Peripheral Arterial Disease in Type 2 Diabetes Is Associated with an Increase in Fibrinogen Levels by Qin-Fen Chen, Dan Cao, Ting-Ting Ye, Hui-Hui Deng, Hong Zhu

“…After adjusting for known confounding parameters, the ORs for PAD were 1.993 (95% CI: 1.322-3.005, P<0.001), 2.469 (95% CI: 1.591-3.831, P<0.001), and 2.942 (95% CI, 1.838-4.711, P<0.001) for Q2, Q3, and Q4, respectively (all P values <0.05). Conclusions. Our results suggest that serum fibrinogen concentration can be considered as an independent risk factor for PAD in T2DM patients.…”

The Nature of Global Income Inequality and Its Determinants by Debesh Bhowmik

“…It was found that there is one significant cointegrating equation which implied that the variables are associated in the long run where the cointegrating equation stated that income inequality is negatively related with unemployment rate and positively related with inflation and growth rates where all are significant except inflation rate. There is also a short-run causality from income inequality to the inflation rate. …”
