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...

The pathologic mechanism of diabetic retinopathy is directly related to the underlying hyperglycemia associated with diabetes. Hyperglycemia causes non-enzymatic cross-linking collagen fibrils which contributes mechanistically tissue stiffening. However, investigations on retinopathy-associated alteration in ocular biomechanics remain scarce, especially living human eyes. Ocular rigidity classi...

Diabetes mellitus is a long term, diverse metabolic illness with complex pathophysiology. Hyperglycemia, which stems from anomalies in either insulin secretion or action both, its defining feature. Metabolic dysfunctions involving proteins, carbohydrates, and fats originate hyperglycemia, can express itself variety of ways.

Peritoneal glucose absorption in peritoneal dialysis causes hyperglycemia. Nonketotic hyperglycemia (NKH) includes hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, which refers to a condition that hyperglycemia, hyperosmotic pressure, and dehydration without severe acidosis. NKH is associated with various types of epileptic seizures, but aphasic seizure as neurological complication very rare. Here we report c...
