Acute Stroke Patients with Sleep Apnea Acording to the Disability and Incidence of Relapse.

Background: Sleep is a complex process involving the interactions of several brain regions, which play a key role in regulating the sleep process, particularly the brainstem, thalamus, and anterior basal brain regions. The process of sleep is accompanied by a change in body functions, as well as a change in cerebral electrical activity, which is under the control of the autonomic nervous system.

Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze the frequency of stroke recurrence and disability of patients with stroke and apnea.

Impact of education on disease knowledge and glycaemic control among type 2 diabetic patients in family practice.

In patients with diabetes type 2, good knowledge about disease often doesn't follow appropriate behavior in their life. Therefore, we wanted to find out basic level of disease knowledge and glycemic control among type 2 diabetic patients, and after that impact of passive and intensive education on knowledge and glycemic control. Starting with 130 participants, 91 patients with type 2 diabetes, from four family medicine services in Tuzla Canton, completed six months education about their disease.

Electroneurography of right median and ulnar nerves in diabetic patients with and without retinopathy.

In this study we examined motor and sensory conduction velocities in right median and ulnar nerves in diabetic patients. Control group consisted of 25 healthy volunteers (13 males) with average age of 52 years. The first examined group consisted of 25 diabetic patients (13 males) without retinal changes, 59,6 years old on average, and the second group consisted of 40 patients (15 males) 59,4 years old on average: 22 of them with type 1, and 18 with type 2 retinal changes.
