Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Introduction: Distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSP) is one of the most common complaints of diabetic patients. DSP is abnormal tingling that often occurs in feet at night. Common medications are often ineffective and are associated with complication. Laser therapy maybe be a suitable alternative. Methods and materials: A total of 60 patients in Diabetes Research Center of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences were studied. At first VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) and TCSS (Toronto Clinical Scoring System) were measured by an intrnist and then patients were been divided in two groups, the first group treated with low level laser (2.5 J/cm2 and wave length of 758 nm) and the second group with sham therapy, during 4 weeks. VAS and TCSS were measured before and 2 & 4 weeks after treatment. Results: 14 cases were male (23.3%) and 46 (77.7%) were female. All of patients had type 2 dibetes mellitus. Two groups were matched according to age, height, weight, duration of diabetes and HBA1C. VAS and TCSS values before and 2 & 4 weeks after treatment in case group had significant differences. But in control group there was no significant differences between above values. (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.881 respectively). Also comparison of VAS and TCSS values after treatment between two groups had meaningful differences (p <0.0001). Conclusion: According to this study use of low level laser in treatment of diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy can be a suitable therapeutic option. However it seems complementary studies with larger sample size is needed for better judgment and decision making.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
