AbstractDiabetes mellitus is a significant risk factor for acquired hearing loss and tinnitus. Persons with diabetes (PWD) may present with hearing loss symptoms earlier in life than those without diabetes. Furthermore, diabetes may exacerbate risk for hearing loss related to noise exposure and ototoxic drugs. The purpose of this article is to provide recommendations for the prevention, screening, evaluation, and management of hearing loss in PWD.

Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common among patients with diabetes mellitus and the aetiological agents are often extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria. Diabetic patients with UTI are sometimes complicated by bacteraemia. This study was designed to evaluate whether UTI due to ESBL-positive organisms is a risk factor for bacteraemia among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This was a cross-sectional analytical study, done in BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January to April 2016. Adult (e”18 years) type 2 diabetic subjects of either sex with culture proven UTI were included in this study. All study participants were subjected to undergo blood cultures as well. ESBL-positivity of the infective organisms for UTI was evaluated as possible risk factor for bacteraemia. Results: Total patients were 145 including 119 (82%) females. Eshcerichia coli (112, 77.2%) was the most common aetiological agents followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (28, 19.3%). In 54 (37.2%) patients UTI was due to ESBL-positive organisms. Ten (6.9%) patients were complicated by bacteraemia [7 (7/ 54, 13%) among patients with UTI due to ESBL-positive organisms and 3 (3/91, 3.3%) among patients with UTI due to non-ESBL organisms]. UTI due to ESBL-positive organisms appeared as a significant risk factor for bacteraemia (OR 4.37, 95% CI 1.08-17.38, p 0.03). Conclusion: Nearly two-fifths of UTI cases were due to ESBL-positive organisms in this study. ESBLpositivity of the causative organisms was a significant risk factor for bacteraemia among type 2 diabetic subjects. Bangladesh J Medicine Jan 2020; 31(1) : 9-12

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant risk factor for the development of cardiovascular complications. This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of chronic administration of ethanolic extract ofEryngium carlinaeon glucose, creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, and triglycerides levels in serum of streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced diabetic rats. Triglycerides, total cholesterol, and uric acid levels increased in serum from diabetic rats. The treatment withE. carlinaeprevented these changes. The administration ofE. carlinaeextract reduced the levels of creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. Thus administration ofE. carlinaeis able to reduce hyperlipidemia related to the cardiovascular risk in diabetes mellitus.

Occupational noise exposure accounts for approximately 16% of all disabling hearing losses, but the true value and societal costs may be grossly underestimated because current regulations only identify hearing impairments in the workplace if exposures result in audiometric threshold shifts within a limited frequency region. Research over the past several decades indicates that occupational noise exposures can cause other serious auditory deficits such as tinnitus, hyperacusis, extended high-frequency hearing loss, and poor speech perception in noise. Beyond the audiogram, there is growing awareness that hearing loss is a significant risk factor for other debilitating and potentially life-threatening disorders such as cardiovascular disease and dementia. This review discusses some of the shortcomings and limitations of current noise regulations in the United States and Europe.

Background: Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is a common complication after administration of contrast medium. As the third leading cause of hospital acquired acute kidney injury, CIN occurs in half of the patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG).Objective: The purpose of the present study was to see the frequency of contrast induced nephropathy in patients after coronary angiography and its risk factors.Methodology: This comparative cross sectional study was performed at National Institute of Kidney Diseases and Urology, Dhaka and Department of Cardiology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July, 2016 to December 2016 for a period of six (06) months. All patients 18 years and above who underwent coronary angiography with or without percutaneuous Transluminal coronary angioplasty with normal or impaired renal function, with or without Diabetes Mellitus or hypertension were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups named as group A who did not develop CIN and group B developed CIN. Pre- and Post procedure serum creatinine was estimated at 48 hours after coronary angiogram. Independent characteristics associated with CIN were identified.Results: A total number of 250 patients were recruited for this study. Older age ≥70 years, diabetes mellitus were significant risk factor for CIN whereas hypertension was not statistically significant. Logistic regression analysis of risk factors were identified 05 (five) risk factors in this study which were baseline estimated GFR <60mi/min/1.73m2 BSA, diabetes mellitus, contrast volume >100ml, PTCA and LVEF < 40%). Effect of drugs used in the development of CIN by logistic regression analysis. None of the drugs showed significant relationship on development of CIN.Conclusion: Older age, baseline estimated GFR <60mi/min/1.73m2 BSA, diabetes mellitus, contrast volume >100ml, PTCA and LVEF < 40%) were significant risk factor to developed CIN.

Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients treated with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) are still at risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after sustained virologic response (SVR). This study aimed to investigate the role of diabetes mellitus (DM) as a potential predictive risk factor in developing de novo HCC in HCV-infected patients after DAA treatment.Methods: This study was registered on PROSPERO under registration number CRD42021230457. We performed a systematic search in four medical databases from inception through November 3rd, 2020. Studies were eligible if they reported on HCV-infected patients treated with DAAs and compared the frequency of de novo HCC in patients with and without DM. We calculated pooled odds ratios, unadjusted (UHR), and adjusted hazard ratios (AHR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) in meta-analysis.Results: We included 30 articles in our systematic review and meta-analysis. DM proved to be a significant risk factor of HCC in DAA-treated HCV patients in unadjusted (UHR = 1.44, CI: 1.15–1.79) and adjusted analyses (AHR = 1.31, CI: 1.06–1.62). In the group of patients achieving SVR after DAA therapy, DM increased the risk of HCC in unadjusted (UHR = 1.3, CI: 1.09–1.51) analysis; however, in adjusted results, the risk was non-significant (AHR = 1.07, CI: 0.89–1.28). In patients with advanced liver fibrosis, DM was a risk factor for HCC in adjusted (AHR = 1.36, CI: 1.03–1.8), but not in unadjusted analysis (UHR = 1.11, CI: 0.8–1.42).Conclusions: DM is an independent risk factor of de novo HCC after DAA treatment in HCV-infected patients.Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=230457, identifier: CRD42021230457.

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR?) is a gene candidate for the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We investigated the association of the PPAR? Pro12Ala gene with the onset of T2DM for the first time in the Serbian population. The study population consisted of 197 controls and 163 T2DM patients. The 12Ala allele tended to be more frequent in the group of T2DM patients (0.11) compared to the control subjects (0.09). The results from this study indicate that the PPAR?2 12Ala allele presents a non-significant risk factor for T2DM development in the Serbian population.
