Low Serum

During the course of routine investigations it was noticed that an abnormal number of low serum cholesterol results were occurring in our laboratory, and that these results appeared to come from mentally retarded patients. An investigation was therefore carried out on over 1,400 patients in the Stoke Park Group of Hospitals. Whenever blood was taken for routine haematological examination a serum sample was also collected for cholesterol determination. A preliminary report of these findings was made (Eastham and Jancar, 1967).

In this preliminary report, which is part of a wider and more detailed study still in progress, I am reporting mainly the twins' mental state and associated physical abnormalities. For this purpose, I am surveying all the 2442 long-stay patients admitted during 30 years (1 September 1938-31 August 1968) to the Stoke Park Hospital Group, Bristol, which provides 1800 beds for mentally retarded patients of both sexes and of all ages. The survey's sample is shown in Tab. I.

Given that the complications of type 2 diabetes can start at an early stage, early detection and appropriate management of prediabetes are essential. We aimed to develop an expert opinion on prediabetes in Lebanon to pave the way for national guidelines tailored for the Lebanese population in the near future. A panel of seven diabetes experts conducted a thorough literature review and discussed their opinions and experiences before coming up with a set of preliminary recommendations for the detection and management of prediabetes in Lebanon. Lebanese physicians employ multiple tests for the diagnosis of prediabetes and no national cut-off values exist. The panel agreed that prediabetes screening should be focused on patients exceeding 45 years of age with otherwise no risk factors and on adults with risk factors. The panel reached that fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c should be used for prediabetes diagnosis in Lebanon. FPG values of 100–125 mg/dL or HbA1c values of 5.7%–6.4% were agreed upon as indicative of prediabetes. For the management of prediabetes, a three-step approach constituting lifestyle modifications, pharmacological treatment and bariatric surgery is recommended. There should be more focus on research on prediabetes in Lebanon. This preliminary report will be further discussed with the Lebanese Society of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Lipids in 2021 in order to come up with the first Lebanese national guidelines for the detection and management of prediabetes in Lebanon.
