10years), hypertensive patients, patients with high levels of triglycerides, and patients with uncontrolled glycaemic status were more susceptible to develop DPN. Conclusion: The prevalence of DPN is relatively high among Egyptian patients with T2DM. Appropriate screening programs along with adequate treatment should be given for high risk patients in order to improve the quality of life and to reduce the tumbledown complications of DPN.]]>

10 mg. Group II: Patients whose hs-CRP < 10 mg. The association between neutrophil to lymphocyte ration and the other inflammatory markers war studied.
Results: 69% of the patients (29 patient) whose hs-CRP were more than 10 mg and 31% of the patients (13 patients) whose hs-CRP were less than 10 mg. Additionally, there has been a positive correlation between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and interleukin-6 along with platelet to lymphocyte ratio. Moreover, interleukin 6 that indicated inflammation in hemodialysis, was more than 30 ng. Further, the value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio which represented the inflammation in hemodialysis patients, was equal or more than 1.6.
Conclusion: Cardiovascular condition of hemodialysis patients affects their morbidity and mortality. Consequently, it could be assessed by neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio which has high specificity and sensitivity.]]>

4 IU/ml, and high thyroglobulin (>150 ng/mL) may associated with difficult thyroidectomy.
Conclusion: According to thyroidectomy difficulty scale, patients diagnosed as hyperthyroidism, increase of serum thyroglobulin, and antithyroglobulin antibodies preoperatively were associated with difficult thyroidectomy. This scale could assist surgeons in prediction of difficult operations and prepare for them.]]>
