Introduction

DM spending in the world is high, and Brazilian studies of public spending caused by DM are scarce.

Objective

To estimate the annual direct cost for the municipal health sphere, related to DM2 treatment, in patients with and without glycemic control.

Method

A cross-sectional study carried out in a city in the interior of Minas Gerais state, with patients with DM2, being municipal PHS users. Data were collected from the computerized system of the municipality and patient records, and analyzed using the IBM SPSS v.19 statistical package. The response variable was categorized into controlled A1c (≤7%) and uncontrolled A1c (>7%).

Results

Glycemic control in 56.6% of the patients was unsatisfactory; the mean cost of pharmacotherapy for DM2 was US$ 3.14 per year for patients in the control group and US$ 45.54 per year for uncontrolled patients.

Conclusion

Patients with unsatisfactory glycemic control are more expensive for the municipal health system.  相似文献

Objective

The study was performed to evaluate the technique of laproscopic minigastric bypass for metabolic syndrome patients.

Study design

The patients were enrolled in a combined prospective study and had a retrospectively gathered outcome analysis.

Patient and methods

The study includes thirty patients; 24 females and 6 males suffering from metabolic syndrome with a mean age of 33.15?±?10.17?years (range, 20–59), who fulfilled the criteria for bariatric surgery with BMI >35 with associated co-morbidities, all patients underwent laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass.

Results

BMI and WC were significantly reduced post-operatively; also co-morbidities as DM, hypertension and dyslipidemia were resolved or controlled. The mean operative time was 90?±?12.6?min (range, 80–120). No mortality was reported within 30?days of surgery.

Conclusion

Laparoscopic mini gastric bypass is an effective procedure for the treatment of obesity, HTN, type 2 DM and dyslipidemia, technically feasible, safe operation with a low rate of major postoperative complications.  相似文献

Introduction

Dementia and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are two of the epidemics of our time; in which insulin resistance (IR) is playing the central role. Epidemiological studies found that different types of dementia development may be promoted by the presence of T2DM.

Objectives

We aimed in this review to highlight the role of insulin and the IR in the brain as a pathophysiological factor of dementia development and also to expand our understanding of T2DM as a mediator of IR in the brain and to review the possible mechanisms of action that may explain the association.

Methodology

A critical review of the relevant published English articles up to 2018, using PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, ADI, and WHO database was carried out. Keywords were included insulin resistance, T3DM, T2DM, dementia, brain insulin resistance were used.

Conclusion

The rapidly increased prevalence of dementia concurrently with T2DM and obesity need urgent action to illustrate guidelines for prevention, modifying, and treatment based on mechanistic studies.  相似文献

Background

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major health burden worldwide. Patients with type 2 DM has various complications, including impaired bone health. Adiponectin is novel adipocytokine that could influence bone metabolism.

Objective

We investigated the relationships between serum adiponectin versus lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) in type 2 diabetic osteoporotic postmenopausal women.

Subjects and methods

This study is a case control study included 90 postmenopausal women; divided as (group A) composed of 30 type 2 diabetic osteoporotic postmenapausal,(group B) composed of 30 non diabetic osteoporotic postmenopausal and 30 apparently healthy non osteoporotic postmenopausal women as a control group. All participants underwent Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry to measure the lumbar Bone Mineral Density (BMD).Serum adiponectin was measured by ELISA Kits. SPSS was used to analyze the data.

Results

Among the studied subjects, group B showed a significant negative correlation between serum adiponectin and lumbar BMD. The diabetic osteoporotic postmenapausal group (group B) showed the lowest concentration of serum adiponectin (μg/mL): 5.14 compared with 11.02 and 8.63 in group A, and the control, respectively. Lumbar BMD of group B was significantly higher than that of group A.

Conclusions

Serum adiponectin is associated with lumber BMD in diabetic osteoporotic postmenopausal women. These findings suggest that serum adiponectin was involved in bone metabolism in this group.  相似文献

Introduction

Zika virus is mainly transmitted through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes, although mother-to-child and sexual transmission have also been described. The presence of Zika virus in semen after infection seems to be not uncommon, but the duration of viral persistence has not been well-determined.

Methods

Molecular, serological and cell culture methods were used for the diagnosis and follow up of a case of Zika virus infection imported from Venezuela. Serial samples of serum, urine and semen were analyzed to investigate the persistence of the Zika virus.

Results

Zika virus was detected in semen samples up to 93 days after the onset of symptoms.

Conclusions

Our results confirm the persistence of Zika virus in semen samples for long periods after infection.  相似文献

Aims

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of antidiabetic drugs that affect serum electrolytes levels. The aim of this review is the detailed presentation of the associated mechanisms of the SGLT2 inhibitors-induced electrolyte abnormalities.

Materials and methods

Eligible trials and relevant articles published in PubMed (last search in July 2017) are included in the review.

Results

SGLT2 inhibitors induce small increases in serum concentrations of magnesium, potassium and phosphate. The small increase in serum phosphate concentration may result in reduced bone density and increased risk of bone fractures, mainly seen with canagliflozin, but recent meta-analyses did not show increased risk of bone fractures with SGLT2 inhibitors.

Conclusion

The increases in serum electrolytes levels may play a role in the cardiovascular protection that has been recently reported with empagliflozin and canagliflozin.  相似文献

Background

There are very few data available regarding risk factors associated with antibiotic resistant-Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Methods

A study was conducted on 110 samples from 101 patients with gonococcal infection, in order to describe their characteristics and compare them with the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of their samples.

Results

An association was observed between resistant infections and heterosexual men, older age, concurrent sexually transmitted infection, and unsafe sexual behaviors.

Conclusion

There is a need for improved data on the risk factors associated with antibiotic resistant gonococcal infection in order to identify risk groups, and to propose public health strategies to control this infection.  相似文献

Background

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major health burden worldwide with many patients encountering thyroid dysfunction later in their life. Various studies have found that diabetes and thyroid disorders mutually influence each other and both disorders tend to coexists. However, the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and associated clinical variables in these patients has not been investigated.

Objectives

The study aimed at determining the incidence and prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in patients with T2DM in relation to age, sex, metabolic syndrome and other co-morbid conditions.

Research designs & methods

In this cross-sectional study, 250 Type 2 DM patients were enrolled aged between 40 and 75 years. All the patients were evaluated for thyroid dysfunction by testing thyroid profile (T3, T4 and TSH. These subjects were also investigated for fasting blood sugar (FBS), post prandial glucose (PPG) glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein(LDL), very low density lipoprotein(VLDL), blood urea, serum creatinine and presence of other co-morbid conditions. The observations and interpretations were recorded and results obtained were statistically analyzed.

Results

A high prevalence of thyroid dysfunction (28%) was observed in type 2 diabetic patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (18.8%) as the commonest thyroid disorder. Thyroid dysfunction was more prevalent in females, with presence of dyslipidemia, retinopathy, poor glycemic state (HbA1c ≥7) and longer duration of diabetes as significant contributing factors associated.

Conclusions

In addition to glycemic status, screening of thyroid disorder should be routinely done in type 2 diabetic subjects along with other comorbid conditions.  相似文献

Background and aim

Individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) who suffer from type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are likely to be sub-optimally treated for their physical condition. This study aimed to review the effect of interventions in this population.

Methods

A systematic search in five databases was conducted in July 2017.

Results

Seven studies on multi-faced interventions were included. These comprised nutrition and exercise counselling, behavioural modelling and increased disease awareness aiming to reduce HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, body mass index and weight.

Conclusion

Non-pharmacologic interventions in individuals with SMI and T2DM could possibly improve measures of diabetes care, although with limited clinical impact.  相似文献

Introduction

The aim of this study was to analyze the presence of antibodies against both Yamagata and Victoria influenza B lineages and to check the response after seasonal trivalent vaccination.

Materials and methods

Haemagglutination inhibition assays were performed with pre-and post-vaccination serum samples from 174 individuals ≥65 years of age vaccinated with seasonal trivalent influenza vaccines during the 2006–2007, 2008–2009, 2009–2010 and 2010–2011 vaccine campaigns.

Results

33.9% of individuals showed pre-vaccine protective antibodies (≥1/40) against B/Yamagata lineage and 41.4% against B/Victoria lineage. The annual trivalent vaccine induced significant homologous seroconversion in 14–35.6% of individuals in each vaccine campaign.

Conclusions

The population ≥65 years has low-moderate seroprotection against B influenza lineages. Trivalent vaccination induced a slight increase of seroprotection. The trivalent vaccine should be administered to all individuals ≥65 years in all vaccine campaigns.  相似文献

Background

Stroke is becoming a major challenge in healthcare systems, and this has necessitated the study of the various risk factors. As the number of people with hypertension, diabetes mellitus and obesity increases, the problem is expected to worsen. This review paper evaluates what can be done to eliminate or reduce the risk of stroke.

Objective

The aim of the research is to evaluate the risk factors for stroke. The paper also aims to understand how these risks can be handled to avoid incidences of stroke.

Method

Published clinical trials of stroke risk factors studies were recognised by a search of EMBASE and MEDLINE databases with keywords hypertension, blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, stroke or cardiovascular disease, or prospective study, and meta-analysis.

Results

The findings of this review are that the prevention of stroke starts with identifying risk factors for stroke, most of the patients diagnosed with stroke have various risk factors. Consequently, it is a very significant to identify all the risk factors for stroke as well as to teach the patient how to dominate them.

Conclusion

after summarising all the studies mentioned in the paper, it can be established that hypertension and diabetes mellitus are a stroke risk factors and correlated in patients with atherosclerosis.  相似文献

Aims

Better understanding risk factors for metabolic syndrome (MetS) will allow early targeted intervention to mitigate long term risk. We aim to determine the disparate impact of each individual MetS component on overall risk of developing MetS, stratified by sex, race/ethnicity, and age.

Methods

Using data from the 2003–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), MetS prevalence among adults (age ≥18) was stratified by sex, race/ethnicity, age, and by individual MetS components (e.g. hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM), waist circumference, serum high density lipoprotein (HDL), serum triglycerides (TG). Mutlivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the disparate impact of each risk factor on MetS risk.

Results

Overall MetS prevalence was 33.3%, with the highest prevalence among older individuals, among women, and among Hispanics. When stratified by each individual component of MetS, low serum HDL was the strongest predictor of MetS risk overall and among both men and women, among all race/ethnic groups, and among all age groups (overall: OR 20.1, 95% CI 18.6–21.7). While presence of DM also increased an individual’s risk of MetS, DM was the weakest predictor of MetS.

Conclusions

Among U.S. adults, low serum HDL carries the strongest risk in predicting development of MetS. This effect was seen among men and women, among all race/ethnic groups, and among all age groups, highlighting the importance of low serum HDL as a marker of MetS risk.  相似文献

Background

Patients of diabetes mellitus experience psychological difficulties associated with their disease which remains unrecognized involving several states related to coping with diabetes. Diabetes distress is a distinct condition which is often mistaken for depression and is related to adverse disease outcomes.

Aims and objective

To study the prevalence and predictors of diabetes distress in patients of Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a tertiary care centre.

Materials and methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of one year at Endocrine OPD of Pt. B.D. Sharma PGIMS, Rohtak, a tertiary care centre in northern India. 410 consecutive patients having T2DM attending the endocrine OPD were screened for psychiatric disorders and 189 diabetic patients with no underlying psychiatric disorders were included in the study. Their socio-demographic and relevant clinical variables were recorded. Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) was used to measure distress due to the disease in these patients.

Results

It was found that the prevalence of diabetes distress was 18.0%; among them 16.1% had emotion related distress, 5.6% regimen related distress, 1.5% interpersonal related distress and 1.2% physician related diabetes distress. The major predictors for high diabetes distress scores among diabetic cases were low education level, retinopathy, neuropathy and hypertension.

Conclusion

The present study suggests that emotion related diabetes distress was more prevalent among diabetic patients. Lower education level and the presence of diabetic complications contribute as risk factors for high diabetes distress.  相似文献

Background

In recent years, the prevalence of asthma has risen in developed countries, and its extent related to a change in our indigenous microbiota. Helicobacter pylori disappearance across the population represents a fundamental change in our human microbiota and has preceded the rise in asthma prevalence.

Objective

To assess the relationship between childhood asthma and Helicobacter pylori infection.

Methods

Quantitative determination of Helicobacter pylori IgG among 90 asthmatic children and 90 – age and gender – matched non-atopic, non-asthmatic healthy children was performed using ELISA in serum of all participants.

Results

Helicobacter pylori IgG seropositivity was found in 25.6% of asthmatics compared to 44.4% of controls. Asthmatics showed lower median Helicobacter pylori IgG titre compared to healthy controls. We also detected a significant inverse relationship between Helicobacter pylori IgG titre and asthma severity.

Conclusion

Helicobacter pylori seropositivity protects against childhood asthma and inversely correlates to its clinical and functional severity.  相似文献

Background

Inflammation and malnutrition play an important role in endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis and excessive cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in ESRD patients

Aim of the study

The primary objective is to determine the prevalence of inflammation, malnutrition and atherosclerosis in patients on maintenance haemodialysis. Secondary objective was to determine the association for atherosclerosis with inflammation and malnutrition.

Patient and methods

One hundred and one adult patients with end stage renal disease on maintenance haemodialysis who are met with the exclusion criteria were enrolled in this cross sectional study from haemodialysis unit of Baghdad teaching hospital over the period of July/2015 ? June 2016. All patients were thoroughly examined and many variables were evaluated (age, gender, blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, serum lipid profile, smoking habits, serum albumin, CRP, calcium, Phosphate, Parathyroid hormone and haemoglobin measurements). All patients underwent a carotid Doppler ultrasound study.

Results

Atherosclerosis was present in 65.3%: 58.4% of patients had malnutrition and 43.6% had inflammation. The association for atherosclerosis and high CRP and low serum albumin is strong and independent of other atherosclerosis risk factors. There is significant inverse and independent correlation between CRP and albumin.

Conclusion

Inflammation (high serum CRP) and malnutrition (low serum albumin) in patients on haemodialysis are significantly associated with carotid atherosclerosis. Inflammation was more prevalent in the malnourished patients than in those with normal nutritional status.  相似文献

Introduction and objectives

Pediatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (pSLE) is an autoimmune disorder of children. Early disease onset raises the probability of genetic etiology and it is more severe than adult SLE.

Patients and methods

Herein an eight-year-old girl with pSLE from consanguineous parents is reported.

Results

Although she was diagnosed as pSLE since the age of two years, Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) revealed a rare stop-gained C>T mutation in C1QA gene. The variant was validated and segregated in patient and the family. Furthermore, serum levels of the C1q protein were measured and found to be much lower than normal ranges.

Conclusions

This study indicated that C1Q deficiency should be considered as a differential diagnosis of pSLE. Therefore, measurement of C1q should be recommended in all cases with pSLE.  相似文献

Aims

This study investigated the association of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), an emerging new risk factor for type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, with the presence of opposite phenotypes of glucose and lipid metabolism among normal-weight Koreans of similar body composition.

Methods

Fifty subjects, randomly selected from an ongoing community-based cohort study, from two opposite phenotype groups — metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUHNW) and metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW) — were matched for waist circumference, visceral fat mass and demographic variables, then compared for serum concentrations of POPs.

Results

Most POPs (10 out of 13 compounds) were present in higher serum concentrations in the MUHNW than in the MHNW. In particular, serum concentrations of all compounds of the organochlorine pesticide class were 2.2 to 4.7 times higher in cases than in controls. Compared with the lowest tertile of summary measures of POPs, Odds ratios (95% confidence interval) for the second and third tertiles were 7.4 (1.9–29.4) and 10.4 (2.6–41.2), respectively. Adjusting for possible confounders did not change the results.

Conclusion

Taken altogether, these findings from the present and previous studies suggest that increased serum POP concentrations may play an important role in the development of unhealthy metabolic phenotypes in lean people.  相似文献

Background

Nephropathy is a major complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is heralded by the insidious development of microalbuminuria (MA). It is suggested that the serum levels of Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is correlated with diabetic nephropathy. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated serum ICAM-1 level in diabetic patients with and without MA.

Methods

A total of 187 participants were enrolled and were classified into three groups including 40 healthy controls and 2 diabetic groups with (n?=?59) or without MA (n?=?88). Serum levels of ICAM-1, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured in all three groups. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS software. A P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

Serum levels of ICAM-1 were significantly higher in diabetic patients irrespective of MA. Moreover, ICAM-1 levels in patients with MA were significantly higher than patients without MA. Patients with MA had significantly higher age and blood pressure compared to those without MA (P?=?0.001). Serum levels of ICAM-1 were significantly correlated with age and HbA1c.

Conclusions

Overall, serum ICAM-1 levels were significantly higher in T2DM patients with MA and it may be associated with the severity of diabetic kidney disease.  相似文献

Aims

The aim of this study was to investigate effect of vitamin D supplementation on anthropometric indices among women with overweight and obesity.

Methods

This double blind randomize clinical trial was conducted on 66 overweight and obese women. Those in intervention group received oral supplement of vitamin D 50,000 IU (1250 mcg) per 25 day and in control group participants received placebo for 3 months. Anthropometric indices were measured before and after 3 months intervention. Before the intervention a 24-h dietary recall (3 days) were used to assess dietary intake of individuals. Independent t test and multivariate repeated measure were used to data analysis.

Results

The mean difference of anthropometric indices, serum calcium, 25 (OH) D3 and serum PTH between the intervention and control groups were significant (P?<?0/05). However, no significant differences in serum phosphorus between the intervention and control groups were seen.

Conclusion

Supplementation with vitamin D 50?μg for each day for 3 months resulted in a significant reduction in anthropometric indices in women with obesity and overweight with normal primary 25(OH) D3 serum levels.  相似文献
