Abstract The purpose of the study was to reliably identify an early stage diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) by measuring injury epidermal nerve fibers. We compared intraepidermal fiber density (IENFD) at ankle and thigh 29 subjects who had no clinical or electrophysiological evidence small‐ large‐fiber neuropathy that 84 healthy controls. mean IENFD 9.1 ± 5.0 mm controls, 13.0 4.8 ( P < 0.001). did not differ significantly. ratio (thigh divided IENFD) 2.39 1.30 in 1.77 0.58 controls 0.001),...
In this randomized controlled trial we evaluated the effectiveness of medical nutritional therapy on Arab patients with Type 2 diabetes in Oman delivered by a dietitian.Patients (n = 170) were randomly assigned to group receiving usual care 85) or practice guidelines 85). Anthropometric (weight, height, BMI and waist circumference) biochemical (fasting blood glucose, HbA1c ) variables measured at baseline after each appointment. Patients given 1-3 appointments dietitian over 6 months.Those...
Background We examined the relationship between morale measured by Philadelphia Geriatric Morale Scale (PGC) and disability, social support, religiosity, personality traits. Instruments predicting were then tested against PGC domains. Methods The study utilized a cross-sectional survey with multistage cluster sampling design. used disability (disease burden; WHO Disability Score-II, WHODAS-II), support (Duke Social Support Scale, DUSOCS; Lubben Network LSNS-6; Medical Outcomes Study Survey,...
Background/Study Context: Given the rapid increase in aging population worldwide, fall prevention is of utmost importance. It essential to establish an efficient, simple, safe, and low-cost intervention method for reducing risk falls. This study examined effect 12 weeks progressive elastic resistance training on lower-limb muscle strength balance seniors living Rumah Seri Kenangan, social welfare home Cheras, Malaysia.Methods: A total 51 subjects qualified take part this quasi-experimental...
Objective: This study examines the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health model (ICF) using a data set 2,563 community-dwelling elderly with disease-independent measures mobility, physical activity, social networking, to represent ICF constructs. Method: The relationship between chronic disease disability (independent dependent variables) was examined logistic regression. To demonstrate variability in activity performance functional impairment, graphing used....
Post-operative hypocalcemia (POH) may complicate parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism. This study investigates the relationship between POH and pre-operative risk factors to identify a simple method predict risk.Retrospective data on 29 patients was collected age, serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), parathyroid hormone (PTH), adenoma size, gender, bisphosphonate pre-treatment. These were screened exclude those with small effect sizes, analyzed using Univariate General...
Research has proven that aerobic exercise improves glucose homeostasis among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Elastic resistance (tube or band) is suggested as a good alternative for home-based strength training older adults including those T2DM due to its low cost, simplicity, portability, and versatility. This study aimed measure the effects of 16-week progressive (PRT), using tube on cardiovascular risk factors T2DM. A total 70 participants aged 61.68 (5.50) years were...
In this study, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was assessed in a group children and adolescent patients with recent-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).Fifty-three age 8-18 years duration T1DM less than 8 weeks were recruited. A food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) used to assess dietary calcium intake. Sunshine exposure measured using quantify amount time spent sun other sun-related habits, index score generated. Serum 25(OH)D < 20 ng/ml considered as deficiency. Logistic regression...
Software optical mark recognition (SOMR) is the process whereby information entered on a survey form or questionnaire converted using specialized software into machine-readable format. SOMR normally requires input fields to be completely darkened, have no internal labels, filled with soft pencil, otherwise detection will inaccurate. Forms can also print and scan artefacts that further increase error rate. This article presents new method of improves over existing techniques based pixel...
Introduction: Intravenous calcium gluconate has been used to prevent postoperative hypo-calcaemia (POH) following parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Materials and Methods: Retrospective data were obtained 36 patients with CKD stage 4 5 after parathyroid surgery, correlating albumin-corrected serum the infusion rate of gluconate. Calcium flux was characterised along excursions out target range 2 3 mmol/L. With this data, an improved titration...
"Track and Accumulate" (T&A) is an alternative astronomical image capture method where exposures are combined during imaging by aligning on a reference star. The benefit increased dynamic range, thus allowing both bright dim objects to be captured in the same image. main limitation that correlated noise from frames will form squiggles as result of telescope drift, especially when using narrowband filters. In general, advantages T&A insufficient outweigh this limitation, most...
Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a progressive resistance training program on dynamic balance and functional mobility among institutionalized elderly. Methods: A total 45 elderly from senior welfare home participated in this quasi-experimental study. The exercise group (n = 21) attended group-based for 12 weeks, meeting twice week. 2-factor repeated-measures analysis variance independent paired t tests were used analyze data. Results: results showed significant...
Patient adherence to treatment is viewed as essential good metabolic control in diabetes. Our primary objective was determine if self-reported patient correlated strongly with control. secondary the natural grouping of factors which influence adherence.Data were collected using a questionnaire set 5-point Likert scales. Primary analysis done Spearman's correlation coefficient between composite scores and HbA1c. Secondary exploratory factor analysis.The suggests that regime weakly Calculated...
Calcium infusion is used after parathyroid surgery for renal hyperparathyroidism to treat postoperative hypocalcaemia. We compared a new regimen one commonly in Malaysia based on 2003 K/DOQI guidelines.Retrospective data serum calcium and rates was collected from 2011-2015. The relationship between peak efflux (PER) time determined using scatterplot linear regression. A comparison regimens made treatment efficacy (hypocalcaemia duration, total amount time) excursions (outside target range,...
