Introduction and Aim: Diabetes mellitus is one of the commonest metabolic causes associated with hypomagnesaemia. Magnesium is said to be one of the chief neuroprotective and vasodilatory mineral of the body. The main aim of this study was to establish the potential correlation between the serum magnesium levels and the auditory acuity in type II Diabetes mellitus patients. Materials and Methods: It is a cross-sectional study done at Sree balaji medical college & hospital, Chrome pet, Chennai. In this study we evaluated a total of 200 type II DM cases consisting of 100 cases with poor glycaemic control, and 100 cases under glycaemic control, all are recently diagnosed cases of type II Diabetes mellitus, in the age groups of 40-55 years who had come to the hospital for their regular annual master check-ups. Their serum magnesium levels were measured using the xylidyl blue dye binding method and pure tone audiometry was also done. Results: Results showed that of the 100 poorly controlled type II DM subjects(i.e. HbA1c >/= 7),65 patients with hypomagnesaemia had sensory neural type of hearing loss & of the 100 type II DM subjects with controlled HbA1c levels(i.e. HbA1c<7), 8 out of the 10 subjects with hypomagnesaemia again had, sensory neural type of hearing loss. Conclusion: The results of this cross-sectional study proved that hypomagnesaemia results in the impairment of hearing, amidst the type II diabetic population, especially the poorly controlled diabetics are more vulnerable to develop hypomagnesaemia and its associated deafness. Thus periodic assessment of auditory status and serum magnesium levels is also required in all type II DM cases, as an early measure to prevent diabetes and hypo magnesia induced deafness.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss in type 2 diabetes mellitus and to figure out a relation between age, sex, duration of diabetes and diabetic control.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A cross-sectional study was conducted at Geetanjali Medical College and Hospital for 1.5 years. Patients were known case of diabetes mellitus type 2 without any other systemic illness included in the study. A total of 115 patients were involved in the study and the informed consent was taken. A detailed examination and history related to hearing loss and diabetes status with treatment was elicited. All basic blood investigations were performed on all the patients. All the patients were subjected to pure tone audiometry and impedance audiometry in a sound proof room.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The total prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss in the study subjects was found to be 80% with most of them having mild degree of sensorineural deafness. Increase in age, longer duration and uncontrolled diabetes are the factors which had higher risk of developing sensorineural hearing loss in the study subjects.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> There is a strong association between sensorineural hearing loss and duration of diabetes mellitus-2. The threshold of hearing loss is increased mainly at the higher frequencies with diabetes.</p>

Objetivo: Determinar o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes com Doença Renal Crônica em tratamento conservador no ambulatório do Hospital Escola de Itajubá. Materiais e Métodos: Estudo descritivo, de corte transversal, de abordagem quantitativa. Realizado com 171 pacientes atendidos em tratamento conservador no ambulatório de nefrologia no período de janeiro de 2012 a dezembro de 2013. A coleta objetivou caracterizar idade, sexo, raça, estado civil e procedência. Também foram avaliados dados do primeiro atendimento como: valores de ureia e creatinina, o grau de DRC, a etiologia e o número de retorno. Resultados: Dos doentes renais crônicos avaliados, 50,3% eram do sexo masculino, 88% da raça branca, 54,4% casados e a maioria (70,8%) possuía faixa etária prevalente >60 anos. A maioria dos atendidos, 98,5% pertence a microrregião de referência. Quanto a dados de primeira consulta, o diabetes mellitus foi a principal etiologia (38%). Os valores de ureia e creatinina acima da referência preconizada foi observado na maioria dos pacientes e o grau III de DRC em 31% dos casos. O número médio de retornos após a primeira consulta foi de três retornos em 25,13% dos pacientes. Conclusão: A pesquisa permitiu o conhecimento do perfil epidemiológico dos portadores de DRC em tratamento conservador. Os achados reforçam a necessidade de implementação de políticas voltadas para promoção e prevenção à saúde com divulgação de mais programas de controle para minimizar o surgimento de novos casos da DRC. Palavras-chave: Epidemiologia.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study of quantitative approach. It was conducted with 171 patients who were treated in conservative treatment at the nephrology clinic from January 2012 to December 2013. The collection aimed to characterize age, sex, race, marital status and origin. We also evaluated data from the first service as: urea and creatinine values, the degree of CKD the etiology and the number of return. Results: Among the chronic renal patients evaluated, 50.3% were male, 88% Caucasian, 54.4% were married and the majority (70.8%) was the most prevalent age group> 60 years. Most of the patients 98.5% belong to micro region of reference. As the first appointment data, diabetes mellitus was the major cause (38%). The urea and creatinine values above the recommended reference was observed in the majority of patients and the DRC grade III in 31% of cases. The average number of returns after the fisrt visit was three return in 25.13% of patients. Conclusion: The research gave us the knowledge of the epidemiological profile of patients with CKD on dialysis. The findings reinforce the need to implement policies for health promotion and prevention with more disclosure of control programs to minimize the appearance of new cases of CKD. Keywords: Epidemiology.

Shs Exposure

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure during childhood on type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and coronary heart disease among Chinese non-smoking women.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, the SHS exposure data in childhood were obtained using a questionnaire survey. Self-reported childhood SHS exposure was defined as the presence of at least one parent who smoked during childhood.ResultsOf the 6522 eligible participants, 2120 Chinese women who had never smoked were assessed. The prevalence of SHS exposure in the entire population was 28.1% (596). SHS exposure during childhood was not significant for the standard risk factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus (p=0.628) and hypertension (p=0.691). However, SHS was positively associated with hyperlipidaemia (p=0.037) after adjusting for age, obesity, education status, physical activity, alcohol consumption, current SHS exposure status, diabetes mellitus and hypertension. In addition, childhood SHS increased the occurrence of coronary heart disease (p=0.045) among non-smokers after further adjusting for hyperlipidaemia.ConclusionSHS exposure during childhood is associated with prevalent hyperlipidaemia and coronary heart disease in adulthood among non-smoking Chinese women.
