Extracting symbolic cycles from turbulent fluctuation data.

The method for extracting symbolic cycles from the fluctuation data is presented. For the example of the Lorenz model we demonstrate that approximately the same complex structure of cycles can be computed using time records of different variables. Our method has been applied to the analysis of turbulent fluctuations measured in water flow in a pipe. Even though the fluctuations in the bulk of the water and near the wall of the pipe appear to be very different, the majority of the most stable cycles extracted from the data are identical.

Correlation of glucose regulation and hemoglobin AIc in diabetes mellitus.

We studied the increased levels of hemoglobins AIa+Ib and AIc in five hospitalized diabetic patients to determine whether changes in diabetic control would cause parallel changes in the levels of these hemoglobins. Before control of diabetes the mean fasting blood sugar for all patients was 343 mg per deciliter (range, 280 to 450), and hemoglobin AIc concentration 9.8 per cent (range, 6.8 to 12.1). During optimal diabetic control the blood sugar concentration was 84 mg per deciliter (range, 70 to 100), and hemoglobin AIc concentration 5.8 per cent (range, 4.2 to 7.6). Hemoglobin AIc concentration appears to reflect the mean blood sugar concentration best over previous weeks to months. The periodic monitoring of hemoglobin AIc levels provides a useful way of documenting the degree of control of glucose metabolism in diabetic patients and provides a means whereby the relation of carbohydrate control to the development of sequelae can be assessed.
