background: ramadan fasting for pregnant women with diabetes remains controversial and underreported. the objective of this study was to determine the glycemic control in pregnant diabetic women on insulin who fasted during ramadan. methods: this was a retrospective study carried out over a period of three years including pregnant diabetic women, who were on short-acting, intermediate-acting, o...

introduction: hyperalgesia is considered as one the marked signs of subchronic diabetes mellitus that could affect the life style of patients. considering the evidence on the antidiabetic and analgesic effects of nigella sativa (ns), this study was designed to investigate the analgesic effects of ns on formalin-induced nociceptive responses (standard formalin test) in streptozotocin (stz)-induc...

Presence of microalbuminuria in diabetes mellitus is one of the diagnostic indicator of diabetic cochleopathy. The aim of this study is to study the significance of microalbuminuria in deafness in type-2 diabetes mellitus & to correlate between microalbuminuria and cochleopathy in type-2 diabetes mellitus. The study was conducted in a sample of 100 diabetic patients attending diabetic outpatien...

We explored the associations of INSR and mTOR, 2 key genes in the insulin signaling pathway, and the susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy. Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs1799817, rs1051690, and rs2059806) in INSR and 3 SNPs (rs7211818, rs7212142, and rs9674559) in mTOR were genotyped using the Sequenom MassARRAY iPLEX platform in 89 type 2 diabete...

Vascular endothelial dysfunction is a basic etiologic factor for the development of late clinical complications in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1, such as diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy (which is characterized at the very beginning by microalbuminuria), and left ventricular cardiac dysfunction. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic left vent...

[Purpose] The effects of vitamin D on the circulating levels of IL-17 and IL-13 were investigated in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 without neuropathy, and healthy controls. [Subjects and Methods] A single-blind controlled clinical study was performed, including70 type 2 diabetic patients with or without diabetic peripheral neuropathy and 33...

Background: Just like diabetes, leprosy also cause painless neuropathic ulcers which process is mediated by Schwann-cell. Biochemical changes on patients presumed to have role pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. Methods: This study cross-sectional aimed know further about diabetic status population people affected leprosy, as the preliminary prove association between mellitus and leprosy. Data, ...

Abnormal activation of protein kinase C-beta isoforms in the diabetic state has been implicated in the development of diabetic nephropathy. It is thus plausible that DNA sequence differences in the protein kinase C-beta1 gene (PRKCB1), which encodes both betaI and betaII isoforms, may influence susceptibility to nephropathy. Nine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in PRKCB1 were tested for a...

Accumulated clinical data suggest that non-diabetic nephropathy complicating type 1 diabetes mellitus is rare, accounting for 2-3% of unselected diabetic patients with proteinuria. In contrast, non-diabetic kidney disease is a common finding in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Joint analysis of available data on prevalence of non-diabetic kidney disease among type 2 diabetic patients rev...

BACKGROUND: Diabetic coma is a common diabetes mellitus complication. The study of carbohydrate status usually conducted with non-violent death; however, the death patients can occur various types violent death. This aimed to describe and analyze rare expert cases circumstances in mellitus.
 CASE PRESENTATION: publication presents two mellitus, which cause was precomatous state, beginning ...
