Material and Methods : An open, prospective, observational study was carried out during the period July 1992 March 2000; 96 patients with post-prandial blood sugar level more than 160 mg/dL even after taking anti-diabetic medicine were enrolled for the study. All the patients were administered with Ceplalandra indica Q in the dosage, one drop per kilogram of their body weight. The dose was divi...

A computer-aided socket design procedure (CASD) has been developed whereby an above-knee socket shape can be created based on anthropometric measurements taken from an amputee. The anthroometric measurements are used to select a subset of three reference shapes from a Reference Shape Library stored in the computer in the form of three-dimensional numerical data. Transformation procedures then s...

This study aims to determine the control of blood sugar levels in type 2 DM patients at Raden Mattaher Hospital Jambi. The design this was descriptive analysis using 100 samples who underwent inpatient and outpatient treatment while HbA1c were checked. results showed 82 with uncontrolled an average level 10.11% 78 abnormal 326 mg/dL. Most diabetes are female (61%), early adulthood 18-40 years o...

Liraglutide (Victoza, Novo Nordisk Pharma Ltd.), a GLP-1 analogue preparation for diabetes mellitus has been reported to potently reduce the blood sugar level and decrease the body weight when injected once a day. As the risk of hypoglycemia is low, it has been used as an epoch-making drug in a rapidly increasing number of patients. In this study, we investigated the effects of liraglutide subc...

Diabetes mellitus is one of the worldwide largest growing metabolic diseases. In this study the effects of consumption of raw garlic on serum lipid level, blood sugar and a number of effective hormones on lipid and sugar metabolism (thyroid hormones and insulin) in individuals either with high level of blood sugar or lipid were investigated. Eighty five volunteers having following clinical hist...

77irty six patients with non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, whose blood sugar was not controlled with maximal doses of oral hypoglycemic agents and did not accept insulin treatment, were selected for this study. the patients were randomly divided into two groups, the treatment group and the control group. the treatment group received oral hypoglycemic agent and chloroquine (150 mg twice d...

BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal disorders are very common among the diabetic patients and frozen shoulder is one of the disabling conditions. The present study was conducted to compare the serum triglyceride level among the patients of type 2 diabetic presented with and without frozen shoulder. METHODOLOGY This case control study was conducted from January 2008 to December 2009, in the department ...

Slip is defined, in this study, as relative motion between the stump skin and the socket. An excessive amount of slip may lead to abrasive injury, inadequate control over socket position and, ultimately, possible loss of the prosthesis. Conversely, lack of slip may conceivably reflect excessive restraint obtained by too tight a fit; implicit are large stump socket pressures. This study was cond...
