A Prospective Study on Abnormal Liver Function Test Patterns in Patients Receiving Anti-tuberculosis Therapy

Objective: Identification of risk factors associated with anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (anti-TB-DIH) is important, especially in an endemic area for TB and liver disease. This study assessed the incidence and risk factors of anti-TB-DIH. Hence, the present study was designed to evaluate the abnormal liver function test (LFT) in antitubercular therapy. Methods: A total of 100 co...

Thyroid function and risk of type 2 diabetes: a population-based prospective cohort study

BACKGROUND The association of thyroid function with risk of type 2 diabetes remains elusive. We aimed to investigate the association of thyroid function with incident diabetes and progression from prediabetes to diabetes in a population-based prospective cohort study. METHODS We included 8452 participants (mean age 65 years) with thyroid function measurement, defined by thyroid-stimulating ho...

Human Type 2 Diabetes Morphological Evidence for Abnormal -Cell Function

The exact nature of the -cell defect in type 2 diabetic patients is still unclear. -Cell mass reduction has been reported but remains controversial. A preliminary study of a large series of patients has demonstrated that in most, the -cell defect is not related to a decreased -cell mass. Amyloid deposits are observed in the islets of some type 2 diabetic patients but also in normoglycemic subje...
