Achieving glycemic control in critical care patients is of paramount importance, and has been linked to reductions in mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, and morbidities such as infection. The myriad of illnesses and patient conditi...
Techniques using machine learning for short term blood glucose level prediction in patients with Type 1 Diabetes are investigated. This problem is significant for the development of effective artificial pancreas technology so accurate alerts (e.g. hy...

BACKGROUND: For an effective artificial pancreas (AP) system and an improved therapeutic intervention with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), predicting the occurrence of hypoglycemia accurately is very important. While there have been many studies...
OBJECTIVE: To comparatively evaluate a range of Natural Language Processing (NLP) approaches for Information Extraction (IE) of low-prevalence concepts in clinical notes on the example of decline of insulin therapy recommendation by patients.
AIM: To assess the potential of supervised machine-learning techniques to identify clinical variables for predicting short-term and long-term glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) response after insulin treatment initiation in patients with type 2 diabetes me...
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that causes abnormal blood glucose (BG) regulation that might result in short and long-term health complications and even death if not properly managed. Currently, there is no cure for diabet...

Background Based on our previous ethnobotanical survey, the non-investigated Saharan plant Anabasis aretioides Coss. & Moq., growing in the region of Errachidia, was selected for pharmacological investigation. In Moroccan traditional medicine, A. are...
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus is a deadly disorder in human which induce chronic complications. The streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in rat is the most common animal model of human diabetes. The present study investigated the effects of novel in...
