Resistance training is effective in chronic hemodialysis patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but its effect on toe pinch force (TPF) is unknown. This study was a randomized controlled trial conducted at three hospitals to investigate the effect of short-term toe resistance training on TPF in chronic hemodialysis patients with type 2 diabetes. The patients were randomly allocated to intervention (performed aerobic exercise and four toe resistance training exercises) and control (performed aerobic exercise only) groups.

- * The author suggests using the Ki-67 labeling index to categorize thyroid tumors into four risk groups based on their growth rates, which helps identify indolent tumors with better prognoses.
- * Properly identifying these low-risk tumors can lead to more conservative treatment options, reducing aggressive interventions and alleviating patient anxiety post-surgery.
Purpose: This exploratory study compared the lower-limb muscle mass (thigh muscle mass [TMM] and lower-leg muscle mass [LLMM]) in type 2 diabetic patients with and without diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN).
Methods: A total of 130 patients with type 2 diabetes, hospitalized for glycemic control, were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. TMM and LLMM were measured using the bioelectrical impedance method.
Background: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the toe pinch force (TPF) of type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy by disease stage, and to clarify the factors affecting the TPF.
Methods: Seventy-four men with diabetic nephropathy (age: 62.7 ± 8.
We compared the toe pinch force in men with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Sixty-eight male T2DM patients and 35 apparently healthy men matched for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. We compared the toe pinch force between the subjects with and without T2DM, and we evaluated the effect of diabetic polyneuropathy on toe pinch force in the patients.

Methods: A total of 12 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were hospitalized to improve glycemic control (8 men and 4 women, duration of diabetes 12.2 ± 9.
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the relations between toe pinch force and other muscle strength parameters in male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods: A total of 40 men with type 2 diabetes (age: 53.4 ± 13.
