Background: Neonatal deaths mostly occur within the first one week and first 24 hours of life from a variety of conditions. Objective: To examine the role of significant hypothermia and hypoglycaemia, in addition to some other factors, in neonatal mortality occurring within the first 24 hours of admission.Methods: A prospective study of newborn infants hospitalized within the first 24 hours of ...

Ischemic stroke (IS) occurs as a result of local disturbance hemocirculation and hypoxia in the brain tissue. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), which is involved regulation tissue oxygen levels, plays an important role pathophysiology stroke, including neuronal survival, neuroinflammation, angiogenesis, glucose metabolism, blood-brain barrier permeability, IS outcomes. The purpose study was...

AIMS Admission hyperglycemia is associated with increased mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with or without diabetes mellitus after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, effects of glycemic variability (GV) on outcomes of non-diabetes patients with AMI still remains unclear. The aim of this study is to compare the prognostic value of in-hospital GV with admissi...

background: internal barriers are an important group of barriers to blood glucose level control. finding the viewpoints of patients, their families and medical team on these barriers is an important step towards correct planning and effective control of blood glucose. this study aimed to find and compare viewpoints of patients, their families and medical team about internal barriers to control ...

BACKGROUND The relationship of changes in blood glucose concentrations after admission to left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in patients with recanalized anterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS Blood glucose concentrations were measured on admission and 24 h after symptom onset in 210 patients with recanalized anterior AMI within 6 h of symptom onset. Of...

the hypoglycemic effect of ethanolic extract of casearia esculenta was investigated on alloxan induced diabetic rats. the blood glucose levels were measured at 0, 1, 2 and 3 h after the treatment. the ethanolic extract of c. esculenta (250 mg/kg) reduced the blood glucose of normal rat from 85.50±1.22 to 64.67±3.27 mg/dl, 3 h after oral administration of the extract (p<0.05). it also significan...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus and admission blood glucose are important risk factors for mortality in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction patients, but their relative and individual role remains on debate. OBJECTIVE To analyze the influence of diabetes mellitus and admission blood glucose on the mortality of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction patients submitted to primary corona...

Introduction: Application of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for the induction of generalized seizure was first introduced in 1938. It is applied for disorders as severe depression particularly for cases which do not respond to drug therapy, or during pregnancy when medication is detrimental to the fetus. The debate on the effect of ECT on blood glucose level is still contradictory. However, st...
