background: diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disorder with many complications such as neuropathic pain which relief from it is a dilemma. objectives: to investigate the effect of hydroethanolic extract of rubus fruticosus on neuropathic pain in diabetic rats. materials and methods: in this experimental case –control study, forty eight male wistar rats (250±20 g) were divided rando...

To aid in the study of diabetes and its complications, many diabetic animal models have been reported. Although most diabetic patients suffer type 2 diabetes, studies using type 2 diabetic animal models have been carried out less frequently. Spontaneously Diabetic Torii (SDT) rat, a non-obese type 2 diabetes model, shows neuropathies and severe ocular complications. Decreased nerve conduction v...

PURPOSE Multiple cranial neuropathies is one of the neurological complications among diabetic patients. Symptoms of multiple cranial neuropathies may cause great anxiety for these patients and often appear to be a serious problem from a diagnostic and therapeutic point of view. A correct and timely diagnosis of the underlying cause of cranial nerve palsy in these patients is crucial because of ...

Electrodiagnosis of subclinical diabetic neuropathies by nerve conduction studies remains challenging. The question arises about which nerves should be tested and what the best electrodiagnostic protocol to make an early diagnosis of diabetic neuropathies would be. On the basis of our findings and other evidence, which highlighted the remarkable prevalence of electrophysiological abnormalities ...
