Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is the most common form of neuropathy in developed countries and may affect about half of all patients with diabetes (DM), contributing to substantial morbidity and mortality and resulting in a huge economic burden. DN encompasses multiple different disorders involving proximal, distal, somatic, and autonomic nerves. It may be acute and self-limiting or a chronic, indolent condition. DN may progress insidiously or present with clinical symptoms and signs that may mimic those seen in many other diseases. The proper diagnosis therefore requires a thorough history, clinical and neurological examinations, and exclusion of secondary causes. Distal peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common manifestation and is characteristically symmetric, glove and stocking distribution and a length-dependent sensorimotor polyneuropathy. It develops on a background of long-standing chronic hyperglycemia superimposed upon cardiovascular risk factors. Diagnosis is mainly based on a combination of symptoms and signs and occasionally neurophysiological tests are required. Apart from optimizing glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factor management, there is no approved treatment for the prevention or reversal of DPN. Even tight glycemic control at best limits the progression of DPN in patients with type 1 DM, but not to the same extent in type 2 DM. It has been estimated that between 3 and 25% of persons with DM might experience neuropathic pain. Painful DPN can be difficult to treat, and is associated with reduced quality of life, poor sleep, depression, and anxiety. Pharmacotherapy is the mainstay symptomatic treatment for painful DPN. The reported prevalence of diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) varies widely (7.7 to 90%) depending on the cohort studied and the methods used for diagnosis, and can affect any organ system. Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is significantly associated with overall mortality and with morbidity, including silent myocardial ischemia, coronary artery disease, stroke, DN progression, and perioperative complications. Cardiovascular reflex tests are the criterion standard in clinical autonomic testing.

Using advanced multimodal MR neuroimaging, a number of studies have demonstrated alterations in pain processing brain regions, which relate to clinical pain phenotype, treatment response, and behavioral/psychological factors impacted by pain. Taken together, these assessments could serve as a possible Central Pain Signature for painful DPN. The challenge now is to apply this potential pain biomarker at an individual level in order to demonstrate clinical utility. To this end, applying machine learning (243) to leverage brain imaging features from a quick 6-minute RS-fMRI scan to classify individual patients into different clinical pain phenotypes is appealing. Future studies should externally validate and optimize current models in larger patient cohorts to examine if/how such models can be used as biomarkers in clinical trials of pain therapeutics. Although many of the findings described are consistent with neuroimaging studies in other chronic pain conditions, it is difficult to assess convergence of findings across a number of relatively small cohort studies employing different analytical methods to derive complex models involving a large number of distributed brain regions (244). These are important limitations that are being addressed with 1) a number of large scale multi-center studies in progress or in preparation (MAPP consortium (245) and Placebo Imaging consortium (246), and 2) several consensus statements by key stakeholders, promoting standardized approaches and reporting and transparent/sharable models.
This is a sample power spectrum of the HRV signal from a subject breathing at an average rate of 7.5 breaths per minute (Fundamental Respiratory Frequency, FRF = 0.125 Hz). The method using HRV alone defines two fixed spectral regions for the low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) measure (dark gray and light gray, respectively). It is clear that the high-frequency (light gray) region includes very little area under the HRV spectral curve, suggesting very little parasympathetic activity. The great majority of the HRV spectral activity is under the low-frequency (dark gray) region suggesting primarily sympathetic activity. These representations are incorrect because the slow-breathing subject should have a large parasympathetic component reflective of the vagal activity. This parasympathetic component is represented correctly by the method using both HRV and respiratory activity which defines the red and blue regions of the spectrum in the graph. The blue region defined by the FRF represents purely parasympathetic activity whereas the remainder of the lower frequency regions (red region) represents purely sympathetic activity.
Also, some enemies now have a chance to deal critical damage to the hero: Dwarf Monk with his combos, Goo and Gnoll Brute when enraged, and the Abyss Hero when he firsts spawns as a hostile character from an uncursed artifact, or in all cases from a cursed artifact. The Abyss Hero keeps this ability also in his ally form.
Other items that are consumed and would perhaps be expected to have even a little nutritional value, if they were not mentioned in the bullet list above, they don't. Actually the alcoholic beverages Brown Ale and Grog Wine increase hunger in contrast.
5 The damage displayed for the wand of Frost is that against non chilled / non frozen targets, which are even more vulnerable to its debuffs (but not to its damage) when standing on water tiles, while in contrast its damage is less to chilled and none to frozen, so with successive hits to the same target its average damage is actually much lower. That said, with some wand-damage-enhancing perks or equipped items, the wand will be able to be dealing decent damage in the subsequent zaps from the first as well.
4 Yvette's Long Magic Bow is a unique weapon that the hero can only get from alive Yvette after he/she helps her (see NPC section for details). It has generally regular attack values including regular attack delay in shooting, but an attack delay of 1.5 specifically in melee range. The hero can use it to "Shoot" magic arrows when equipped, which is its main attack. On shot, it acts like a ranged weapon, but deals magical ranged damage, and the damage value is same with melee (note again that its ranged shots have a regular attack delay of 1, so its average damage per shot is practically higher in longer fights in comparison to its melee hits, because it doesn't lose shots like in melee by the 1.5 delay). When put in a quickslot its default action from a distance is shooting, and a melee hit from melee range, but the player can also make the hero shoot from melee range by choosing this option from the inventory Still, the hero will get the "unbalanced" debuff when shooting an adjacent enemy at melee range like with any other regular missile or thrown weapon (so the player may better let the hero use its normal melee attack at this range, which doesn't anyway need to get chosen at melee range and gets performe automatically). By the current code implementation, the shot attack does not benefit from ranged perks, neither from some melee perks. The ring of Furor and some other effects which increase attack speed affect its speed, and can trigger its enchantment easier. Its shots are obviously benefitted by the ring of Sharspshooting, but also to a lesser degree by the ring of Force (not its melee hits though). Lastly, since the shooting deals magical damage, it is hard to get evaded (accuracy for magical damage is doubled). In a nutshell, the Magic Long Bow it is the only tier 2 weapon that is actually a rather good choice for end-game for all classes, and an exceptional choice specifically for Snipers.
