considering the fact that many muslims with diabetes prefer to fast in spite of inhibitory advises and to answer several conflicts and controversies regarding diabetes and ramadan, idf in collaboration with diabetes and ramadan (dar) international in alliance decided to develop a comprehensive guideline to be used by health care professionals. this guideline was then developed on april 2016 by ...

The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) recently published guidelines for the management of postmeal hyperglycemia. These guidelines were established in view of the risk of postmeal hyperglycemia for vascular events. Because of the rising incidence and prevalence of diabetes and its complications, the IDF took action to state useful strategies for the treatment of diabetes, focusing on the ...

Design of complex products with several interacting subsystems or disciplinary analyses poses substantive challenges to both analysis and optimization, necessitating specialized solution techniques. A product or system may qualify as complex due to large scale or due to strong interactions. Single-level strategies for complex system optimization centralize decision-making authority, while multi...

Structured document retrieval aims at retrieving the document components that best satisfy a query, instead of merely retrieving pre-de ned document units. This paper reports on an investigation of a tf -idf -acc approach, where tf and idf are the classical term frequency and inverse document frequency, and acc, a new parameter called accessibility, that captures the structure of documents. The...

In many natural language processing tasks, a document is commonly modeled as a bag of words using the term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) vector. One major shortcoming of the TF-IDF feature vector is that it ignores word orders that carry syntactic and semantic relationships among the words in a document. This paper proposes a novel distributed vector representation of a document...

Because first graders are critical for excess weight gain, we assessed components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) using the pediatric definition of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). We compared four MetS components as defined by the IDF with age- and gender-specific components in 2228 first graders at the age of 6. The growth curves were derived from 22113 children and adolescents w...

In this paper, we describe our Question Answering System. We proposed to use 200 answer types to abate answer types’ ambiguity in Query Analysis. And as the score of extracting correct answers, we proposed TF・IDF and a word distance between an answer candidate and a weighty word from a query. Comparative experiments were conducted with QAC1 and QAC2 formal run test set. The result showed that 2...

OBJECTIVE Metabolic syndrome increases the risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and may be associated with insulin resistance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We tested the hypothesis that the metabolic syndrome confers risk with or without concomitant insulin resistance among 2,803 Framingham Offspring Study subjects followed up to 11 years for new diabetes (135 cases) or CV...

Keyword extraction has received an increasing attention as important research topic which can lead to have advancements in diverse applications such document context categorization, text indexing and classification. In this paper we propose STF-IDF, a novel semantic method based on TF-IDF, for scoring word importance of informal documents corpus. A set nearly four million from health-care socia...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to investigate the cardio-metabolic parameters and surrogate markers of insulin resistance in a discordant group of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) subjects who satisfy the Adults Treatment Panel (ATP) III criteria, but not the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria, for metabolic syndrome (MetS). METHODS We assessed the prevalence of MetS in T2DM subjects...
