INTRODUCTION: DIABETES IS THE MOST COMMON DISEASES CAUSED BY METABOLIC DISORDER AND THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN WESTERN SOCIETIES. THE PATHOGENESIS OF THIS COMPLICATION IS VERY HIGH BOTH IN TERMS OF MEDICAL COSTS AND DISABILITY AND IT IS ONE OF THE MAJOR ISSUES IN HUMAN HEALTH. ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEASURES TO PREVENT THIS DISEASE IS TO PREDICT DISEASE RISK IN SUSCEPTIBLE HEALTHY PEOPLE. GIVEN THE APPLICATION OF DATA MINING METHODS AND THEIR ABILITY IN MATTERS OF CLASSIFICATION, NOWADAYS THESE METHODS ARE USED IN VARIOUS FIELDS. THEREFORE, IN THIS STUDY IT HAS BEEN ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS THE DATA MINING METHODS TO PREDICT THIS DISEASE...

INTRODUCTION: IN HUMAN BRAINS, THERE ARE SUBSTANTIAL NUMBERS OF NEURONS PRODUCED IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF HIPPOCAMPUS. NEURON PRODUCTION IS CRITICAL FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF LEARNING AND MEMORY AND COULD BE ALTERED BY CHANGES IN HIPPOCAMPAL CELL PROLIFERATION. FOR EXAMPLE, ANESTHESIA AND SURGERY ARE ASSOCIATED WITH POSTOPERATIVE COGNITIVE CHANGES (I.E., IMPAIRED MEMORY, LEARNING) EVEN LONG AFTER THE ANESTHETIC ITSELF IS GONE. APOPTOSIS, A GRADUAL PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH, IS A MECHANISM THAT POSSIBLY LINKS ANESTHETICS TO THESE IMPAIRMENTS BY SUPPRESSING HIPPOCAMPAL NEUROGENESIS OR INDUCING NEURODEGENERATION. TO TEST THIS HYPOTHESIS, WE INVESTIGATED THE APOPTOTIC EFFECT OF ANESTHESIA WITH ETOMIDATE ON NEURAL CELL APOPTOSIS IN RAT HIPPOCAMPUS...
