Prevalence Of Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract Diabetes is an “epidemic of the 21st century” and it is estimated that in 2011 6.7% of Poland’s population suffered from diabetes, one quarter of which was unaware of the disease. Such a high prevalence of diabetes mellitus results in an increasing number of physicians being confronted with the problem of qualifying patient with diabetes to partake in amateur sports, including diving. This publication presents the most important information concerning risk assessment, admission of diabetic patients to amateur diving and some proposed protocols of management before and during sport practice.

Prevalence Of Diabetes Mellitus

Recent studies have shown that phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) have become the target of many pharmacological treatments, both in clinical trials and in clinical practice. PI3Ks play an important role in glucose regulation, and this suggests their possible involvement in the onset of diabetes mellitus. In this review, we gather our knowledge regarding the effects of PI3K isoforms on glucose regulation in several organs and on the most clinically-relevant complications of diabetes mellitus, such as cardiomyopathy, vasculopathy, nephropathy, and neurological disease. For instance, PI3K α has been proven to be protective against diabetes-induced heart failure, while PI3K γ inhibition is protective against the disease onset. In vessels, PI3K γ can generate oxidative stress, while PI3K β inhibition is anti-thrombotic. Finally, we describe the role of PI3Ks in Alzheimer’s disease and ADHD, discussing the relevance for diabetic patients. Given the high prevalence of diabetes mellitus, the multiple effects here described should be taken into account for the development and validation of drugs acting on PI3Ks.

Prevalence Of Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract Background: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to defective secretion or activity of insulin Prevalence of diabetes mellitus has tripled since 1970, hence it is a significant finding for dental professionals, as evidence from clinical research showing a strong relationship between diabetes and periodontal disease is mounting. In fact, periodontitis is often referred to as the sixth complication of diabetes. Objective : To assess the extent of awareness of periodontal disease in diabetic patients, among medical interns. Methods: A cross sectional survey containing 21 questions was answered by 150 medical interns from Mangalore, Karntaka. Conclusion: The results of this survey indicate that medical interns have thorough knowledge about diabetes and its complications; however, their awareness about periodontal disease in diabetic patients is limited thus further emphasis should be given to the dissemination of knowledge about the inter-relationship of diabetes and periodontal health.

Prevalence Of Diabetes Mellitus

AbstractBackgroundMexico City has the highest aging rate in the country, as well as a high prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and arterial hypertension (HT). All three on their own, are known to increase oxidative stress (OE).MethodsFinal groups included 18 patients without DM or HT (control group), 12 with DM, 23 with HT, and 18 with DM and HT. The EO was measured by the quantification of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and by determination of lipid peroxidation.ResultsHAS patients showed increased ROS levels as did men with HAS compared with the respective DM and HT groups. Also, women of the control group showed higher levels of ROS compared with men. HT in an aged population turned out to be the most influential factor for oxidative stress increase while DM had no effect whatsoever.
