Abstract Objectives To analyze the correlation of diabetes mellitus and hyperglycemia with severe odontogenic abscesses. Materials and methods Records of all patients in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg-University who underwent inpatient treatment for severe odontogenic abscesses between 2010 and 2016 were evaluated retrospectively regarding diabetes anamnesis, maximum and fasting blood sugar count, and duration until discharge. In order to compare the numbers to a general maxillofacial group, all patients who received inpatient treatment in 2013 for any diagnosis other than an abscess of the head and neck region were analyzed as well, and the numbers were correlated. Results In total, 977 abscess patients were found in the analyzed period. 7.0% of the patients had a known diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type II and 0.6% of type I. Correlation with the general group showed that abscesses were significantly more likely in diabetics as well as patients with abnormal maximum and fasting blood sugar counts. These patients also needed significantly longer inpatient treatment. Conclusions Diabetics and patients with abnormal glucose tolerance show significantly higher numbers of severe odontogenic abscesses and might therefore benefit from earlier escalation of antibiotic medication. Clinical relevance Severe odontogenic abscesses are one of the most frequent diagnoses in maxillofacial practice. Adjusting the therapeutic approach for diabetics or patients with abnormal blood sugar counts might help to prevent the development of abscesses.

Diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) results from beta cell dysfunction or reduced action of insulin responsive. The objective of this study was to examine the relevance between blood sugar, the activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in fasting women diabetic patients in different durations. A total of sixty-eight women were divided into three groups: first a healthy group – non-diabetic (twenty-six women), second and third groups (twenty-one) were diabetic patients of age 35 – 50 and 51 – 69 years respectively. Serum fasting blood sugar was significantly (P < 0.05) elevated to 181.60 mg/dl in female patients with 35 – 50 years. The same effect happened in activity of AST to 32.91 u/L in 51 – 69 years and ALT was 28.43 u/L in 35 – 50 years. No significant differences were found between the aged and fasting blood sugar, AST and ALT in diabetic patients. The correlation factor (r) between fasting blood sugar and the activity of ALT was highly significant.

The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Indonesia requires participation of all parties including pharmacists. This study aims to determine the impact of the implementation of home pharmacy service guidelines for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on the level of knowledge, medication adherence, therapeurical satisfaction and glycemic control. This study used a quasi-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test design involving 37 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who met the requirements of inclusion and exclusion criterias. The Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24) and the Diabetes Medication Satisfaction Tool (DMSAT) were used for collecting the data. Patient adherence was measured using a pillcount method and fasting blood sugar levels (FSB) data were obtained from the laboratory results. The study was conducted in two community health centers and patient’s home in the Yogyakarta Municipality area. The data were analysed using Wilcoxon and Spearman test. The results showed the change of the level of knowledge, medication adherence, therapeutic satisfaction and glycemic control before and after intervention of pharmacy services at home. The average decreasing of fasting blood sugar levels 17.09 mg/dL ± 1.43

Background: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a uncommon and serious infection involving the skin and subcutaneous tissues of lower and upper limbs, perineal area (Fournier’s gangrene), and the abdominal wall with high morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment can reduce the mortality rate of NF. The objectives of this study are to study the etiolopathological, microbiological factors determining the outcome of necrotizing fasciitis.Methods: It is prospective study and was conducted in JSS Medical College and Hospital in October 2008 to October 2010. Total 50 patients diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis were admitted to JSS Medical College and Hospital. Demographic data, type of co morbidities, site of infection, clinical features with microbiology and laboratory results, and outcomes of patients were analyzed.Results: Out of 50 patients there were 42 males and 8 females. Highest number of cases was found in the age group of 65-74 years among males, 55-64 years among females. The commonest site in the present study is lower limbs (74%). Diabetes mellitus was the commonest (76%) co morbidity. Beta hemolytic streptococci 22 (44%) was the highest to be isolated. In type I and Coagulase positive staphylococci 18 (36%) was the commonest organism isolated in type II necrotizing fasciitis. The significant risk factors were gender, comorbidties, hospital length of stay, and albumin level, leucocytosis, anemia, hypoalbumenia, low serum ferritin levels increase blood sugar levels. The mortality was 12% (8 patients).Conclusions: Patients with advance age, co-morbid conditions like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, osteomyelitis had high unexplained susceptibility to the disease and with a higher incidence in males. Thus, early recognition with a high index of clinical suspicion would definitely reduce both morbidity and mortality. It has gross morbidity and mortality if not treated in its early stages. Leucocytosis, anemia, hypoalbumenia, low serum ferritin levels, increase blood sugar levels were consistent findings seen in majority of the patients which resulted in increased morbidity.

We have investigated twenty five patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus aged (35-60) years and fifteen healthy persons as control group to detect Anti-Helicobacter pylori IgG antibody. All studied groups were carried out to measure fasting blood sugar, anti- Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), anti-? islets cells antibody by IFAT, Anti-H. pylori IgG antibody by ELISA technique. There was significant elevation in the concentration of fasting blood sugar than in control group (P < 0.05), the patients had negative results for anti-GAD antibody and anti- ? islets cells antibody, there were significant differences (P < 0.05) of anti-H. pylori IgG antibody in 28 % of patients had type-2 diabetes than control group. This lead to suggestion that type -2 diabetes mellitus patients are more susceptible to H. pylori .

Objective: To evaluate the hyperglycemic effects of Kursi Ziyabet (KZ) tablets on the rat models of diabetes mellitus. Methods: In total, 58 male SD rats were assigned randomly to six groups. All except the normal group were transformed into experimental diabetes mellitus rat models by injecting streptozocin. The hyperglycemic effect and the mechanism of Ziyabet were evaluated by body weight, food and water intake, fasting blood sugar, and related parameters by measuring the oxidative stress-related factors and lipid metabolism indicator level by the corresponding kits using the rat experimental models. Results: Compared with the model group, body weight markedly increased after 3–6 weeks of intragastric administration of Ziyabet tablets ([Formula: see text]), while the water intake significantly decreased in the same period of time ([Formula: see text]). Food intake and fasting blood sugar level also decreased with the high dosage of Ziyabet tablets ([Formula: see text]). There is no significant difference in pancreas’ MDA content of the Ziyabet groups when compared to the model group ([Formula: see text]), while significant increase in SOD level was observed in high-dosage KZ group ([Formula: see text]). The blood serum insulin and free fatty acid level also decreased in the high-dosage KZ group compared with the model group ([Formula: see text]). Conclusion: We conclude that Ziyabet tablets demonstrated protective effects on the diabetic rat models.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and depressive disorders are among the major health problems in our community. Chronic medical conditions, like diabetes are affectively stressful for patients and may influence pathophysiologic mechanisms as well as mood. This can lead to depression and poor prognosis of T2DM. This study was done to assess the prevalence of depression among T2DM patients and its association with glycemic control.Methods: This descriptive cross sectional study was carried out among 300 T2DM patients attending Urban Health Training Center (UHTC), Anakaputhur, which belongs to the urban field practice area of our institution. Fasting Blood Sugar levels (FBS) were assessed retrospectively from their medical records; and they were screened for depression by administering the nine items, “Patient Health Questionnaire - 9”.Results: Of the 300 T2DM patients, 54% were females. The mean age of the participants was 53±9.7 years. 31% of the study participants had fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels above 125 mg/dl. Depression was present in 39.7% of the individuals, among which, 17.3% had mild depression, 13% had moderate depression, 6.7% had moderately severe depression and 2.7% had severe depression. Depression was found to be significantly associated with increasing fasting blood sugar levels, diabetic complications, female gender and diabetic treatment.Conclusions: This study shows that depression is highly prevalent among T2DM patients and is associated with poor prognosis, as reflected by poor glycemic control (FBS) and the occurrence of diabetic complications. So screening and counselling for depression among T2DM patients have to be carried out for optimum control and treatment of T2DM.
