BACKGROUND High admission blood glucose levels after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are common and associated with an increased risk of death in subjects with and without known diabetes. Recent data indicate a high prevalence of abnormal glucose metabolism in patients with unknown diabetes at the time of AMI. We investigated the predictive value of admission blood glucose levels after AMI fo...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to observe the outcome of critically ill patients in relation to blood glucose level at admission and to determine the optimal range of blood glucose at admission predicting lower hospital mortality among critically ill patients. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of a total 1,224 subjects (males, 798; females, 426) admitted to intensive care...

objective: for decades, exercise has been considered as a cornerstone for managing diabetes. the current study aimed to determine the effects of short-term exercise on blood glucose, lipids and hba1c in type-2 diabetes mellitus. materials and methods: a total of 61 diabetic patients were randomly selected. later, subjects with capability of doing exercise took part in a special four-week exerci...

OBJECTIVE To identify the relationship between admission hyperglycemia and outcome in children with severe brain injury at hospital discharge and 6 months later. METHOD A retrospective analysis of blood glucose levels was conducted in 61 children with severe brain injury admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit between November 1, 2005 and October 30, 2009. Hyperglycemia was considered f...

OBJECTIVE Hyperglycemia on admission and during hospital stay is a well-established predictor of short-term and long-term mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Our study investigated the impact of blood glucose levels on admission and in-hospital hyperglycemia on the morbidity and mortality of Libyan patients admitted with acute coronary syndromes (acute myocardial infarction ...

The present study aims to find out prognostic importance of stress hyperglycemia and incidence of various complications in patients of Acute myocardial infarction (MI) without diabetes mellitus. Method: We studied 50 patients admitted with acute MI without previous diabetes mellitus. Blood glucose level were estimated at time of admission and regularly thereafter. Glycosylated hemoglobin was es...
