blood specimens from 22 insulin dependent diabetic patient and 17 nontliabetic subject were collected im edta- tubes. quantitation of hb-al was performed by columne chromatography. the glycosylated hemoglobin component is increased in diabetic patient and found a significant correlation between hb-al concentration and blood glucose levels in all diabetic patients. the mean hb-al valve for diabe...

In this review of cardiovascular risk estimation, we focus on 4 key aspects: (1) The rationale for estimating cardiovascular risk; (2) a comparison of current cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk-estimation systems; (3) an examination of whether there is any evidence that cardiovascular risk estimation improves patient outcomes; and (4) how CVD risk estimation may change in the future. Some of the...

Aims: The use of the electronic health record systems has been developed in the health system, but it is still not known whether empathy is created in the visit of the patient despite this system. Therefore, this study was designed with the purpose of comparing patients’ perceptions about physicians’ empathy after the patient viewed standardized and scripted video vignettes of two physicians on...

Image-guided prostate interventions often require the registration of preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) images to real-time transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images to provide high-quality guidance. One of the main challenges for registering MR images to TRUS images is how to estimate the TRUS-probe-induced prostate deformation that occurs during TRUS imaging. The combined statistical and biomec...

Stuttering is an uncommon presentation of acute stroke. Reported cases have often been associated with left sided cortical lesions, aphasia, and diYculties with other non-linguistic tests of rhythmic motor control. Three patients with subcortical lesions resulting in stuttering are discussed. In one patient the ability to perform time estimations with a computerised repetitive time estimation t...
