BackgroundRelative to hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c), percentage of glycated albumin (GA%) more accurately reflects recent glycemic control in diabetic hemodialysis (HD) patients.MethodsTo determine the accuracy of glycemic assays in a larger sample including patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD), HbA1cand GA% were measured in 519 diabetic subjects: 55 on PD, 415 on HD, and 49 non-nephropathy controls.ResultsMean ± SD serum glucose levels were higher in HD and PD patients relative to non-nephropathy controls (HD 169.7 ± 62 mg/dL, PD 168.6 ± 66 mg/dL, controls 146.1 ± 66 mg/dL; p = 0.03 HD vs controls, p = 0.13 PD vs controls). GA% was also higher in HD and PD patients (HD 20.6% ± 8.0%, PD 19.0% ± 5.7%, controls 15.7% ± 7.7%; p < 0.02 HD vs controls and PD vs controls). HbA1cwas paradoxically lower in dialysis patients (HD 6.78% ± 1.6%, PD 6.87% ± 1.4%, controls 7.3% ± 1.4%; p = 0.03 HD vs controls, p = 0.12 PD vs controls). The serum glucose/HbA1cratio differed significantly between dialysis patients and controls ( p < 0.0001 HD vs controls, p = 0.002 PD vs controls), while serum glucose/GA% ratio was similar across groups ( p = 0.96 HD vs controls, p = 0.64 PD vs controls). In best-fit multivariate models with HbA1cor GA% as outcome variable, dialysis status was a significant predictor of HbA1cbut not GA%.ConclusionsThe relationship between HbA1cand GA% differs in diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease who perform either PD or HD compared to those without nephropathy. HbA1csignificantly underestimates glycemic control in peritoneal and hemodialysis patients relative to GA%.

Persistent Hyperglycemia

Background and Purpose: We evaluated the effect of persistent hyperglycemia on outcomes in 1000 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage enrolled within 4.5 hours of symptom onset. Methods: We defined moderate and severe hyperglycemia based on serum glucose levels ≥140 mg/dL—<180 and ≥180 mg/dL, respectively, measured at baseline, 24, 48, and 72 hours. Persistent hyperglycemia was defined by 2 consecutive (24 hours apart) serum glucose levels. We evaluated the relationship between moderate and severe hyperglycemia and death or disability (defined by modified Rankin Scale score of 4–6) at 90 days in the overall cohort and in groups defined by preexisting diabetes. Results: In the multivariate analysis, both moderate (odds ratio, 1.8 [95% CI, 1.1–2.8]) and severe (odds ratio, 1.8 [95% CI, 1.2–2.7]) hyperglycemia were associated with higher 90-day death or disability after adjusting for Glasgow Coma Scale score, hematoma volume, presence or absence of intraventricular hemorrhage, hyperlipidemia, cigarette smoking, and hypertension (no interaction between hyperglycemia and preexisting diabetes, P =0.996). Among the patients without preexisting diabetes, both moderate (odds ratio, 1.8 [95% CI, 1.0–3.2]) and severe (odds ratio, 2.0 [95% CI, 1.1–3.7]) hyperglycemia were associated with 90-day death or disability after adjusting for above mentioned potential confounders. Among the patients with preexisting diabetes, moderate and severe hyperglycemia were not associated with 90-day death or disability. Conclusions: Persistent hyperglycemia, either moderate or severe, increased the risk of death or disability in nondiabetic patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

AbstractWe conducted a case-control study to investigate the relationship between preoperative fasting serum glucose and postoperative mediastinitis in patients undergoing open heart surgery. Multivariate analysis revealed that a glucose level of 126 mg/dL or greater was associated with a significantly increased risk of mediastinitis (OR, 5.25; P = .002).

This article is theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part presents issues related to experiencing stress (including ways of coping with experienced problems) and the relationships between preference for various coping strategies and human behavior. The empirical part presents the results of research on the relationship between the frequency of seniors (n = 329) using 13 different ways to deal with experienced difficulties (including the strategy of turning to religion/religious coping) and 11 categories of aggressive behavior (retaliation tendencies, self-destructive tendencies, aggression control disorders, displaced aggression, unconscious aggressive tendencies, indirect aggression, instrumental aggression, self-hostility, physical aggression towards the environment, hostility towards the environment, and reactive aggression). The last part is devoted to a discussion on the obtained research results and the practical implications of using the strategy of turning to religion/religious coping in difficult situations as a factor protecting the elderly from aggressive behavior.

Diabetes mellitus is a severe chronic disease, and the number of patients has increased. To manage blood glucose levels, patients should frequently measure their blood glucose and analyze which lifestyle habits affect blood glucose levels. However, it is hard to record and analyze the relationship between their blood glucose levels and lifestyle. The internet of things (IoT) is useful to interconnect, monitor, obtain, and process data between various devices used in everyday life to fulfill a common objective. This paper proposes an intelligent self-care platform using IoT technology that helps patients with chronic diabetes manage their blood glucose levels in their target range. In particular, we developed various devices called the self-care IoT pack. It consists of five different types of devices to obtain blood glucose levels, physical activities, food intake, medication, sleeping, and so on. They can collect blood glucose levels with lifestyles that automatically impact the patient’s blood glucose level. We also devised a self-care application to display and analyze the data obtained from the IoT pack. Consequently, the proposed self-care IoT platform collects the blood glucose levels and the lifestyles without any burden of record. By reviewing the accumulated information, the patients can find bad habits in blood glucose management and improve their lifestyle.
