DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF BLOOD SUGAR Curves IN NEUROLOGY

Blood Sugar Time Curves.

Stimulation of the Sugar-regulating Mechanism as Shown by Duplicate Blood Sugar Curves.*

After the oral administration of glucose, when the concentration of the sugar in the blood is falling, ingestion of a second dose of glucose may result in little or no increase in blood sugar. This occurred in nine out of thirteen experiments conducted by Foster (1). Maclean and de Wesselow (2) had previously reported a single case in which a second dose of glucose produced a curve which was ne...

Diagnostic Value of Lectins in Differentiation of Molar Placentas

Objective(s)Distinction of hydatidiform moles from non-molar specimens and subclassification of hydatidiform moles as complete and partial are important for clinical practice, but diagnosis based solely on histomorphology suffers from poor interobserver reproducibility. Nowadays, pathologists rely on molecular techniques, however these methods are technically difficult, relatively expensive, an...

Diagnostic Value of Fructosamine and Glycosylated Hemoglobin in Estimating Blood Glucose Level in Diabetic Patients with Thalassemia Major

Abstract Background and Objective: Diabetes mellitus is one of complications that thalassemia major patients face with. Hence, blood glucose monitoring is of vital importance to these patients. Because of high level of fetal hemoglobin in these patients, the measurement of hemoglobin A1c is not reliable and should be displaced by fructosamine test. Material and Methods: The current descr...
