Dementia and Diabetes Mellitus in Porto-Novo: Frequency and Determining Factors

Introduction: Coronary artery disease is the largest cause of mortality in the world. The main risk factors for its development include systemic arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Objective: To search for predictors of the development of plaques and obstructions in coronary arteries and to determine whether the exercise test is a reliable pretest for coronary angiotomography. Methods: 883 computed tomography reports of coronaries were analyzed. Sociodemographic information, health conditions and results of the exercise test from patients were collected, along with calcium score, percentile and number of arterial segments with significant obstruction. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Significance was considered for p<0.05. Results: It observed that the statistically significant predictors to the calcium score were male, being over 60 years old, having type 2 diabetes mellitus and systemic arterial hypertension. There was no relationship with high BMI and coronary obstruction. Regarding the exercise test, it was possible to observe that the majority of individuals who were positive in the exercise test, did not have a positive calcium score or significant coronary obstructions. Conclusion: The predictors for the development of coronary plaques and obstructions were male, aged ≥60 years, having type 2 diabetes mellitus and systemic arterial hypertension.

Determining Factors

Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) are significant complications of diabetes mellitus. DFU will often heal in a shorter period if factors that inhibit wound healing are identified and managed. This review was to identify determining factors that are associated with wound healing in DFU patients. Glycaemic control, adequate nutrition, presence of infection, the use of modern dressing approach, provide sufficient offloading and avoid unhealthy lifestyle like smoking are the highlighted determining factors discussed in this review and found to have an association towards a timely manner of wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers.

Abstrak. Perubahan epidemiologi di Indonesia berakibat terjadi pergeseran pola penyakit dari penyakit infeksi menjadi penyakit degeneratif dan metabolik. Penyakit degneratif dan metabolik merupakan penyakit tidak menular yang berlangsung kronis karena kemunduran fungsi organ akibat proses penuaan maupun pola hidup. Beberapa penyakit degeneratif dan metabolik misalnya penyakit kardiovaskuler, diabetes mellitus, dan peningkatan asam urat. Penyakit ini dapat dicegah atau dikurangi angka kejadiannya dengan melakukan deteksi dini faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kadar kolesterol, kadar gula darah, dan kadar asam urat berdasar usia. Jenis penelitian kuantitatif, dilakukan studi observasional dengan metode penelitian potong lintang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat peningkatan kadar kolesterol, peningkatan gula darah sewaktu , dan peningkatan asam urat dengan bertambahnya usia. Simpulan dari hasil penelitian ini adalah dengan bertambahnya usia, kadar kolesterol, gula darah dan asam urat meningkat. Kata kunci : kolesterol, gula darah, asam urat, usia Descriptive Study of cholesterol, blood sugar and gout levelsBased on age in Bojong VillagePekalongan Regency AbstractChanges in epidemiology in Indonesia result in changes in the pattern of diseases from infectious diseases to degenerative and metabolic diseases. Degnerative and metabolic diseases are non-communicable diseases that occur chronic due to setbacks. Some degenerative and metabolic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and increased uric acid. This disease can be prevented or calculated the number of events by early detection of determining factors. The purpose of this study was to determine cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, and uric acid levels based on age. This type of research is quantitative, observational studies using cross-sectional research methods. Research Results Show Increased Sugar Levels, Increased Blood Sugar During, and Increased Gout with Increased Age. Conclusions from the results of this study are with increasing age, cholesterol levels, blood sugar and uric acid also increase.Keywords: cholesterol, blood sugar, gout, age

Oculomotor Nerves

Diabetes mellitus is one of the commonest causes of neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is a heterogeneous group of neuropathic disorders to which patients with diabetes mellitus are susceptible; more than one kind of neuropathy can frequently occur in the same individual. Abnormalities are also known to occur in nearly every anatomic subdivision of the eye in diabetic patients. Oculomotor palsy appears to be common in diabetes mellitus for their occurrence in isolation to suggest diabetes. Nerves to the external ocular muscles are most commonly affected, particularly the oculomotor or third cranial nerve. The third nerve palsy of diabetes is characteristic, being of sudden onset, accompanied by orbital and retro-orbital pain, often associated with complete involvement of the external ocular muscles innervated by the nerve. While the human and experimental animal literature is replete with studies on the peripheral nerves in diabetes mellitus, there is but a paucity of reported studies dealing with the oculomotor nerves and their associated extraocular muscles (EOMs).
