    Summary: There is an ever-increasing emphasis on evidence-based medicine that is distinguished by systematic crafting of the patient-centered research question, detailed literature searches, and careful appraisal of the resulting evidence. The consensus that ultimately emerges must then be applied in specific clinical settings, and it is to this process that translational effectiveness analysis refers. This portable and easy-to-use handbook is intended as a practical teaching guide on translational effectiveness for students and clinicians. Specifically, it will serve as a primer on patient-centered outcomes research methodology in the health sciences and explain how to acquire and understand the fundamental data that determine which reports are valued as the "best available" evidence. It presents an accessible and readily intelligible set of principles which doctors, dentists, nurses, and insurance carriers will be able to use in the process of health care-related decision-making. ​

    The role of extracellular Ca2+ in the regulation of islet function is investigated. Decreasing extracellular Ca2+ concentrations cause a dose-related inhibition of glucose-induced insulin release. Whereas the efflux of 45Ca from perifused islets is transiently increased on exposure to Ca2+-deprived media, it is unaffected by a partial lowering of the extracellular Ca2+ concentration. Under the latter condition, therefore, the observed reduction in the size of the islets' exchangeable calcium pool(s) appears to be due to reduced Ca2+ entry. The proper effect of glucose on Ca handling by the islets is apparently not affected by a lowering in the extracellular Ca2+ concentration. Nevertheless, in islets exposed to glucose and incubated in Ca2+-deprived media, glucose uptake and oxidation and lactate output are decreased, whereas the islet ATP level is increased, as if extracellular Ca2+ shortage were to affect not only the cellular pool of Ca regulating insulin release, but also energy-consuming processes possibly located at the cell membrane.
