  Diabetes In this article, we learn about diabetes and it’s symptoms with special causes. First I will mentioned the definition of diabetes. What is Diabetes? Diabetes , also known as  diabetes mellitus , is a group of  metabolic disorders   characterized by a  high blood sugar  level ( hyperglycemia ) over a prolonged period of time. In other words,  Diabetes is a lifelong condition that causes a person's blood glucose level to become too high. There are two main types of diabetes –  1. Type 1 diabetes and  2. Type 2 diabetes. Pre-diabetes Many more people have blood glucose levels above the normal range, but not high enough to be diagnosed as having diabetes. This is sometimes known as prediabetes. If your blood glucose level is above the normal range, your risk of developing full-blown diabetes is increased. Diabetes must be diagnosed as early as possible because it will worsen if left untreated. Symptoms of diabetes The main symp...

  Introduction In this article, we will provide a basic overview of the muscles of the  gluteal   region  while integrating clinical anatomical pathology to describe certain features. The gluteal region refers to the general region of the posterior buttocks, lying external to the pelvic cavity. Its borders are: Anterior : pelvic girdle Superior : iliac crest Inferior : gluteal folds Contained within the region are muscles, lymphatic vessels and neurovascular structures. The gluteal region communicates with the pelvic cavity via the greater and lesser sciatic foramina, which several neurovascular structures traverse. Most of these muscles are supplied by two branches of the  internal iliac artery , and they mimic the two major nerves that supply these muscles – the superior and inferior gluteal nerves. Superficial gluteal muscle group Gluteus maximus As the largest muscle of the gluteal region,  gluteus   maximus  is a powerful muscle involved...
