Background: Hyperglycemia is an independent risk factor for mortality in neonatal intensive care units (NICU).Herein, we aimed to investigate the relationship of hyperglycemia duration with mortality and ventilator dependence in infants admitted to NICU.Methods: In this original retrospective study, data was collected between October 2015 and December 2015 from NICU of Dr. Sheikh Children’s Hos...

Introduction: Spirituality is taken deeply into consideration as a part of health because of its role in the control of chronic diseases and its importance in determination of life purpose in the elderly. This study aimed to investigate the association between spiritual health and blood sugar control in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducte...

Recently, the idea has been developed to lower blood glucose blood glucose levels in diabetes by inhibiting sugar reabsorption sugar reabsorption in the kidney kidney . The main target is thereby the early proximal tubule proximal tubule where secondary active transport secondary active transport of the sugar is mediated by the sodium-D: -glucose D-glucose cotransporter SGLT2 SGLT2 . A model su...

Glycated haemoglobins are haemoglobins with an attached sugar moiety. They constitute the HbA1 fraction of the adult haemoglobin HbA. HbA1c is the predominant fraction of HbA1 and gives an estimate of the blood sugar levels of an individual over the last three months. It has been observed that an HbA1c value of less than seven percent reduces the microvascular complications in diabetic patients...

In some studies in diabetic people, chromium picolinate supplementation has lowered readings for both plasma triglycerides and blood sugar. In the present study, relatively low dose supplementation (200 μg chromium) did not lower blood sugar readings, but did lower triglyceride values in people with the following characteristics: type 2 diabetes, moderately elevated blood sugar, and not using i...

INGREDIENTS Cinnamon is a spice produced from the bark of numerous trees from the genus Cinnamomum. Cinnamomum cassia has been used as a spice in culinary cuisine and as a traditional herbal medicine for centuries.1 The highly refined sugar and high fat content of US diets and other westernized countries make it difficult to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. For most of the world population,...

Prevalence of diabetes was found to be 20.70 per cent and of potential diabetes 6.55 per cent in a survey of tuberculous population of 961 admitted in K. S. Ray Tuberculosis Hospital, Jadavpur, Calcutta, during a year from April, 1975 to March, 1976. The criterion of diabetes was taken to be blood sugar level of 141 mg. percent and above estimated by Folin and Wu method with photo-electric colo...

Somogyi's (6) blood sugar method is one of the most reliable and extensively used method for the estimation of true sugar. Non-sugar reducing substances of blood are located principally in the erythrocytes (3) and are removed from laked blood by adding barium hydroxide and zinc sulphate solution in this method (5). Unfortunately solutions of barium hydroxide are very susceptible to deterioratio...

Background and Aims: The human leukocyte antigen-E (HLA-E) is a member of non-classical HLA class-I genes which is highly conserved through evolution. In general, so far 25 alleles of HLA-E have been described. However, the existence of only two allelic group; HLA-E*01:01 and HLA-E*01:03 have been demonstrated in all the populations. HLA-E*01:01 and HLA-E*01:03 differ only at codon 107 of exon ...
