AbstractThe present study aimed to evaluate the characteristic influence of physical therapeutic procedures of vacuum-compression therapy (VCT) on microvascular perfusion (MiP) and macrovascular perfusion (MaP) of the lower limb in diabetic patients. A sample of nine patients with a medical history of type 2 diabetes was used for the purpose of this study. Most of the subjects’ medical conditions included venous and neurological complications of the lower limb, whereas the rest of the subjects entered the treatment due to injury recovery or their phlebological disease. The PeriFlux System 5000 (Perimed, Sweden) diagnostic device was used to measure MiP. The MaP was evaluated based on the perfusion index (PI) using the Extremiter monitoring device (Embitron, Czech Republic) designed to perform VCT procedures. The study found that MiP and MaP increase as an effect of VCT procedures and at the same time PI clearly reflects the effect of the applied vacuum and compression phases, verifying the method’s vital influence on peripheral perfusion disorders.

Background and Aims : Microalbuminuria is claimed to be an early marker of nephropathy in type 2 diabetes.The raised arterial pressure is an important factor in the progression of diabetic nephropathy. There is a significant correlation between blood pressure and the progression of albuminuria in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This study in Bangladeshi type 2 diabetic patients was to evaluate whether microalbuminuria and raised arterial pressure are influenced by familial predisposition to hypertension.Methods : Sixty three newly diagnosed Bangladeshi type 2 diabetic patients were investigated. The diabetic subjects were divided into two groups as diabetes with family history of hypertension (n=37) and diabetes without family history of hypertension (n=26). Diabetic subjects were further divided into normotensive (n= 46) and hypertensive (n= 17); diabetic normoalbuminuric (n 44) and diabetic microalbuminuric (n 19) subgroups. Serum glucose was measured by glucose-oxidase; blood urea, serum creatinine and urinary creatinine by enzymatic-colorimetric method and urinary albumin by immunoturbidimetry method.Results : systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and microalbuminuria were significantly elevated in diabetic subjects with familial predisposition to hypertension when compared to diabetic subjects without familial predisposition to hypertension [SBP (127±16 vs 110±14) mmHg P= 0.001; DBP (81±9 vs 72±11) mmHg P= 0.001; Microalbuminuria 2.23(0.28-9.43) vs 1.52(.29-3.91) mg/mmol p<0.03]. When diabetic normotensive subjects were compared with diabetic hypertensive subjects for microalbuminuria, no significant difference was found among themselves [median (range) 1.67(0.17-8.62) vs 1.70(.28-9.43) mg/mmol p = NS]. Comparison of blood pressure was found no significant difference between diabetic normoalbuminuric and diabetic microalbuminuric subjects [systolic blood pressure (117±17 vs 125±17) mmHg p= NS ; diastolic blood pressure (76±11 vs 82±10) mmHg p= NS ].Conclusion : Microalbuminuria, a marker of early diabetic nephropathy and raised arterial pressure, a progression factor of nephropathy are more influenced by familial predisposition to hypertension in diabetic population irrespective of presence or absence of microalbuminuria and hypertension.Bangladesh Crit Care J March 2016; 4 (1): 14-18

Background: Hypertension is among the important causes of non-communicable disease burden worldwide. It has raised public health concerns in both developed and developing nations. It mostly occurs in patients with diabetes and the prevalence depends on duration, type and age of the patient. The study aimed at determining the risk factors of hypertension among type 2 diabetic patients in Imo State, Nigeria. Methods: A hospital-based descriptive survey design involving 50 patients attending hospital was used. Structured questionnaire complemented with interview schedule was used to collect data from the respondents. Data were analyzed using frequency and mean score. Hypotheses were tested using Chi-square at 5% significance level. Results: The result showed that the majority (70.0%) of the patients was hypertensive, 54.0% of the patients used dietary control and drugs in the treatment of the diseases. Furthermore, it was found that 54.0% ate salty foods always, 58.0% of the patients added extra table salt in their meals, 54.0% ate canned foods and 82.0% took sugary drinks always. It was also found that 66.0% ate always from restaurants and 58.0% ate more of starchy foods. The result further showed that 74.0% of the patients avoided physical exercise and 70.0% indicated that doing stress works made them get anxious. Eighty percent of the patients had hypertension in their family history and the 74.0% indicated it was their brother/sister. The X2 result showed a significantly association between family history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes X2(121, N = 50) = 187, p = 0.000. It was also found that dietary pattern was significantly associated with risk of type 2 diabetes X2(121, N = 50) = 187, p = 0.000. Conclusion: Dietary pattern and family history of hypertension were significantly associated with type 2 diabetes. It was recommended that sensitization campaigns be organized to educate women on the effect of diets on diabetes. Also, family history of hypertension should be ascertained from patients to ensure early detection and treatment of diabetes.

Background and Aims: Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetes-associated microvascular complication and is among the leading causes of vision loss or blindness in the adult population. The present study is a retrospective study that reported the natural history of diabetic retinopathy.Methods: Retrospective medical records of 170 patients aged &gt; 20 years with a confirmed complication of diabetic retinopathy were recruited into the present study. A questionnaire was also sent to each subject for gathering their experiences, and verification was done by the attending medical physicians. The questionnaire was answered by all recruited patients.Results: The results showed that 23 (13.5%) subjects have a family history of diabetic retinopathy with 10 (5.9%) having mild NPDR, 63 (37.1%) with moderate NPDR, 60 (25.3%) have severe NPDR while 37 (21.8%) have PDR complications. The presence of co-morbidities was found in 139 (81.8%) subjects. Patients with PDR reported a significantly longer duration of diabetes mellitus with worse glycemic control.Conclusions: The study revealed and concluded that adherence to the prescribed management regimen is important, for which patient education was the key which was lacking.
