background: patients with diabetes mellitus type ii suffer from hyperglycemia because they are not able to use the insulin that they produce, often due to inadequate function of insulin receptors. there are some evidences that this deficiency is inherited in a dominant autosomal manner and leads to the malfunction of the pancreatic beta cells resulting in insulin excretion disorders. in this st...

background: a person's beliefs can influence the progression of his/her disease; and battling an illness can trigger severe anxiety about death. this study aims to compare the attitude toward death between healthy people and those suffering from diabetes and cancer. methods: in a cross-sectional study, 300 individuals were selected by convenient sampling method. three groups were matched by gen...

objective: diabetes mellitus (dm) is a common metabolic. one of the unknown complications of dm is cognitive disorders. different types of cognitive impairment caused by dm may affect the quality of life, self-management of diabetes, and glycosylated hemoglobin. this study aimed to determine the prevalence of cognitive impairment and its relationship with glycosylated hemoglobin (hba1c), diabet...

abstract introduction: there is limited knowledge available on the metabolism of glucose in the brain, an insulin insensitive organ. insulin receptors hybridize with insulin like growth factor receptor (igf-i) to transduce the signals in different areas of the brain. in this article we aimed at investigating whether the expression of igf-i receptor and igf-i binding proteins (igfbp1) is changed...

In this paper, we study type II Streater's models. These models describe the coupled evolution of the density of a cloud of particles in an external potential and a temperature, preserving the energy, with eventually a nonlocal Poisson coupling. We introduce an entropy and consider in a bounded domain, or in an unbounded domain with a conning external potential, the stationary solutions (with g...

A hybrid censoring scheme is a mixture of type I and type II censoring schemes. When $n$ items are placed on a life test, the experiment terminates under type I or type II hybrid censoring scheme if either a pre-fixed censoring time T or the rth (1<=r<=n&nbsp;is fixed) failure is first or later observed, respectively. In this paper, we investigate the decomposition of entropy in both hybrid cen...
