Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over prolonged period, and if untreated could lead to complications. This study, carried out at the Igbinedion university teaching hospital Okada ascertain some hematological parameters, using 69 known diabetes patients who enrolled as an Out-patient General Out- Patient Department non- apparently healthy indiv...

Skin disorders are common in diabetic patients and may also act as clues for diagnosis in undiagnosed cases. These manifestations may be summarized in five categories including non-infectious, infectious, treatment-related and miscellaneous manifestations as well as diabetic foot ulcer. The most common non-infectious disorder occurring in up to 70% of patients is diabetic dermopathy. Infectio...

objective(s) since diabetes mellitus is accompanied by cognitive impairment in diabetic patient and animal models and since lipids play important roles in neuronal membrane composition, structure and function; we intended to evaluate the effect of dietary butter oil on passive avoidance memory of streptoztosin (stz)-induced diabetic rats in this study. materials and methods thirty six adult mal...

INTRODUCTION To improve understanding of the diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) patient experience and inform the patient-reported outcome measurement strategy for future trials in DGP, qualitative interviews were conducted with participants in a phase 2 clinical trial of a novel DGP treatment. METHODS Trial participants were invited to participate in interviews at both the pretreatment visit (PTV)...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have evaluated the individual effects of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and diabetes mellitus on health-related quality of life outcomes (QOL). Due to the rising incidence of these comorbid conditions, it is important to examine the synergistic impact of diabetes mellitus and AMI on QOL. METHODS In this study, we assessed using several previously validated quest...

Appropriate care and education prevents 85% of diabetic foot amputations. An ideal management to prevent and treat diabetic foot necessitates a close collaboration between the health team members and the diabetic patient. Therefore, improving nurses' knowledge a...

We have developed a model of the blood glucose / insulin metabolism of a diabetic patient. The model consists of a combination of a compartment module and a neural network module and was trained with data from a diabetic patient using the dynamic backpropagation algorithm. We demonstrate how our model can be used both to predict blood glucose levels and to optimize the patient's therapy.
