Association of Genetic Polymorphism rs 77630697(Gly64Asp) of Multidrug and Toxin Extrusion -1 with glycemic response to metformin in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Objective: To determine the relationship between Gly64Asp (rs77630697) polymorphism of multidrug and toxin extrusion-1 (MATE-1) and therapeutic response of metformin in Type-2 diabetic patients.

Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted at Riphah International Hospital, Islamabad from June 2020 to December 2021. Type-2 diabetic patients (n=200) on metformin monotherapy fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled and followed up till three months.

IoT Based Expert System for Diabetes Diagnosis and Insulin Dosage Calculation.

High blood glucose levels are the defining characteristic of diabetes. Uncontrolled blood glucose levels in diabetic patients might result in mortality. As a result, there is a dire need to control blood glucose levels by constantly monitoring them and delivering the appropriate amount of insulin.

Energy Efficient Multicast Communication in Cognitive Radio Wireless Mesh Network.

Multicasting is a basic networking primitive used in a wide variety of applications that is also true for cognitive radio-based networks. Although cognitive radio technology is considered to be the most promising technology to deal with spectrum scarcity, it relates to completely different aspects of networking and presents new challenges. For cognitive radio-based multicast sessions, it is important to use the spectrum efficiently by reducing the number of channels used as well as engaging fewer nodes in data relaying.

Association Of Vitamin B12 Deficiency With Intake Of Oral Metformin In Diabetic Patients.

Background: It is estimated that 450 million people worldwide have diabetes mellitus Objective of the study was to determine effect of Metformin on vitamin B12 level among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is a cross sectional study conducted at Medicine department, Shalamar Hospital Lahore.

Methods: Seventy-two patients of diabetes mellitus were included in the study.

Optimized Energy Harvesting, Cluster-Head Selection and Channel Allocation for IoTs in Smart Cities.

This paper highlights three critical aspects of the internet of things (IoTs), namely (1) energy efficiency, (2) energy balancing and (3) quality of service (QoS) and presents three novel schemes for addressing these aspects. For energy efficiency, a novel radio frequency (RF) energy-harvesting scheme is presented in which each IoT device is associated with the best possible RF source in order to maximize the overall energy that the IoT devices harvest. For energy balancing, the IoT devices in close proximity are clustered together and then an IoT device with the highest residual energy is selected as a cluster head (CH) on a rotational basis.

Device Centric Throughput and QoS Optimization for IoTsin a Smart Building Using CRN-Techniques.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has gained an incredible importance in the communication and networking industry due to its innovative solutions and advantages in diverse domains. The IoT' network is a network of smart physical objects: devices, vehicles, buildings, etc. The IoT has a number of applications ranging from smart home, smart surveillance to smart healthcare systems.

Attention bias in earthquake-exposed survivors: an event-related potential study.

The Chinese Wenchuan earthquake, which happened on the 28th of May in 2008, may leave deep invisible scars in individuals. China has a large number of children and adolescents, who tend to be most vulnerable because they are in an early stage of human development and possible post-traumatic psychological distress may have a life-long consequence. Trauma survivors without post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have received little attention in previous studies, especially in event-related potential (ERP) studies.

Meat and fish freshness inspection system based on odor sensing.

We propose a method for building a simple electronic nose based on commercially available sensors used to sniff in the market and identify spoiled/contaminated meat stocked for sale in butcher shops. Using a metal oxide semiconductor-based electronic nose, we measured the smell signature from two of the most common meat foods (beef and fish) stored at room temperature. Food samples were divided into two groups: fresh beef with decayed fish and fresh fish with decayed beef.

Identifying cognitive preferences for attractive female faces: an event-related potential experiment using a study-test paradigm.

In this experiment, sensitivity to female facial attractiveness was examined by comparing event-related potentials (ERPs) in response to attractive and unattractive female faces within a study-test paradigm. Fourteen heterosexual participants (age range 18-24 years, mean age 21.67 years) were required to judge 84 attractive and 84 unattractive face images as either "attractive" or "unattractive.
