Background: Studies show that diabetic patients have a higher incidence of ischemic stroke than non-diabetic patients. In the Framingham study the incidence of thrombotic stroke was 25 times higher in diabetic men and 36 times higher in diabetic women than in those without diabetes Objectives: aim of this study to analyze topography in diabetic patients. Type of study:  Cross sectional study. Methods: 48 patients with acute stroke were classified into 4 groups: euglycemic, stress hyperglycemia, newly diagnosed diabetics, and known diabetics. Results:no significant differences were found in the type, site or size of stoke between the 4 groups, higher levels of blood sugars and hemoglobin HbA1cwere significantly higher with chronic white matter ischemia in stroke patients. Conclusions: hyperglycemia, diabetics and chronic glycemic disturbance may play role in the pathophysiology of white matter ischemia.

Background: As hypertension is the most important risk factor for stroke, it is generally considered to beasymptomatic condition and require lifetime therapy which may include chemotherapy and lifestylechanges. Hypertension also clearly contributes to the risk of macrovascular disease in patients with type-IIdiabetes mellitus. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of hypertension indiabetic and non-diabetic stroke patients in community hospital district Swat. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study, comprised of 100 subjects, 50 were diabetic and 50 werenon-diabetic stroke patients of ages between 28 to 90 years. The blood sugar (random and fasting), bloodpressure (systolic and diastolic) of Diabetic stroke subjects were compared with Non-diabetic strokesubjects. Results: The prevalence of hypertension was significantly high in diabetic stroke subject as compared tonon-diabetic stroke subjects. Conclusion: Diabetic patients with persistently elevated blood pressure are more prone to develop stroke ascompared to non diabetic with hypertension KEYWORDS:Stroke, Diabetes mellitus, hypertension.

Abstract Background: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is a major complication after stroke, oral microorganisms are important contributors to SAP. Here, we aimed to investigate whether the oral hygiene was associated with SAP and related risk factors of them in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study that recruited 331 patients with acute ischemic stroke from two medical centers. A series of assessments were performed to evaluate the neurological status and habits of oral hygiene. According to whether the oral hygiene was abnormal and SAP occurred, univariate analyses were performed in cohort 1 (normal / abnormal oral hygiene groups) and cohort 2 (SAP / non-SAP groups). Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to confirm risk factors of oral cleanliness and SAP in stroke patients. Results: A total of 12 and 8 independent variables were included in the model 1 and 2 analysis. After adjusting for confounders, multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that oral cleanliness was not only closely related to SAP (OR=2.219, P=0.026), dental caries (OR=1.292, P=0.005) and age (OR=1.030, P=0.006) in model 1, but also an independent risk factor for predicting SAP (OR=1.678, P=0.001) in model 2. Barthel index was a protective factor for oral cleanliness (OR=0.986, P=0.019) and SAP (OR=0.977, P=0.002) in ischemic stroke patients. Conclusions: Mutually primary risk roles of abnormal oral cleanliness and SAP exist in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Dental caries and aging are important risk factors for oral health disorders. Improving the activities of daily living would have protective effects on both oral hygiene and SAP prevention in stroke patients.

Abstract Introduction: Diabetic autonomic neuropathy is one of the most important complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) that ultimately occurs in most patients. The purpose of this study was to screen and diagnose latent cases of autonomic neuropathy between patients who have a history of over 10 years DM and recently diagnosed diabetic patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 104 patients (52 type 2 DM patients diagnosed in the last 6 months; and 52 type 2 DM patients with more than 10 years history) referred to outpatient Endocrine Clinic of Imam Reza Medical Center in Tabriz University of Medical Sciences between 2015-2016. Blood pressure, resting heart rate and corrected QT interval were evaluated according to standard methods. The history of gastrointestinal and urinary tract neuropathy was extracted from patients’ history and physical exam. Results: Of the 104 patients studied, 54 were male and 50 were female. Standing heart rate (p=0.02), resting (p<0.0002) and standing (p<0.0001) systolic blood pressure, and resting diastolic blood pressure (p=0.03) were significantly higher in chronic diabetic patients compared to newly diagnosed group. Additionally, blood glucose levels (p=0.03) and body mass index (BMI) (p<0.0001) were significantly higher in patients with neuropathy. Conclusion: Overall, the results of this study showed that in patients with type 2 DM, cardiac autonomic dysfunction is more common in patients with a longer history of DM.

Objective: This study aimed to understand the demographics, functional disabilities, cognitive impairment, and depressive mood among stroke patients and to explore the correlation between functional disability and the other health conditions so as to provide some data for community rehabilitation among stroke patients.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the functional status of ischemic stroke patients with stroke history between 1 month and 2 years by applying the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Data were collected during October 2016 and January 2017 from 11 communities in two districts of Shanghai, China. We used face-to-face questionnaire interviews to collect information on sociodemographics, vascular risks associated with stroke, cognitive function [Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)], and depression [Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)]; and we applied SPSS 24.0 for data analysis.Results: In this study, 305 patients with ischemic stroke were finally recruited, including 189 (61.97%) men, with an average age of 67 years. According to the mRS score, ischemic stroke patients were divided into patients without symptoms (controls, mRS = 0), patients without obvious disability (mRS = 1), and patients with mild to severe disability (mRS = 2–5). Ischemic stroke patients with different mRS levels demonstrated significant differences in age, tobacco smoke exposure, previous stroke history, cognitive function, and depression status. Compared with patients without symptoms (mRS = 0), patients with mRS = 1 had a lower MMSE score [odds ratio (OR): 0.48, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.26–0.90]; and patients with mRS = 2–5 had a lower MMSE score [OR = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.08–0.33], had a higher PHQ-9 score [OR = 5.36, 95% CI: 2.19–13.11], and were more likely to have previous stroke history [OR = 2.18, 95% CI: 1.01–4.79].Conclusion: Lower degrees of functional independence are related to cognitive impairment, as well as the previous stroke history and depression status.

Proteinuria is a predictor of stroke in diabetic and non diabetic patients, but remains poorly documented from the available researchstudies. The aim of this study is to determine. Proteinuria in stroke (Hemorrhagic and non Hemorrhagic) patients which suffer diabeticand non diabetic. A cross sectional study had been done in stroke patients, diabetics and non diabetics who were hospitalized at theWahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar during the period of May to July 2010. Urine samples were analyzed using a dipstick method.There were 30 samples of non Hemorrhagic stroke (NHS) with diabetics: 71.4% with proteinuria; Hemorrhagic stroke (HS) with diabetics:87.5% with proteinuria (p = 0.55). Non diabetic HS: 100% with proteinuria; Non diabetic NHS: 40% with proteinuria; (p=0.04).Proteinuria in stroke could occur either in diabetic or non diabetic subjects, but proteinuria was higher in HS the existence of diabetes.Further research is needed on the role of proteinuria in stroke in terms of diagnostic or prognostic values.
