chorea is brief, quasi-purposeful, irregular muscle contractions, not repetitive or rhythmic, but flows from one muscle to the next and athetosis is slow, writhing, continuous, worm-like movements of distal extremities (chiefly the fingers) which show bizarre positioning without posturing. metabolic causes have been documented earlier, note worthy of that being diabetes. choreoathetosis has bee...

equal amounts of carbohydrates from various foodstuffs do not increase blood glucose to the same extent. this study was carried out, therefore, in 1996 at the national nutrition and food technology research institute in tehran to determine the glycemic index of split pease, rice (binam), kidney beans, green peas, “lavash” bread and broad bean kernels. diabetic subjects were studied in a clinica...

BACKGROUND Glucose variability could be an independent risk factor for diabetes complications in addition to average glucose. The deficiency in islet β cell secretion and insulin sensitivity, the two important pathophysiological mechanisms of diabetes, are responsible for glycemic disorders. The oral disposition index evaluated by product of insulin secretion and sensitivity is a useful marker ...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is (DM) a global public health problem and a complex disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia that leads to long-term macrovascular and microvascular complications. Recent studies have reported the role of hematological indices in contributing to the vascular injury in diabetic patients. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine hematological indices and th...

background: nigella sativa ( n. sativa ) has been used in traditional medicine and several studies have been performed in the last decades to reveal the effects of it on different medical disorders such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity. we evaluated the effects of n. sativa supplementation on lipid profiles, glycemic control, blood pressure (bp), and some anthropometric indi...

OBJECTIVE Higher resting heart rate (rHR) and lower variability (HRV) are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) all-cause mortality in people without diabetes. It is unknown whether temporal changes rHR HRV may contribute to this risk. We investigated associations between 5-year future CVD death, taking into account participants’ baseline glycemic state.
