AIM The purpose of this study was to clarify whether type 2 diabetic patients with coronary disease are subject to similar benefits on heart rate recovery (HRR) as non-diabetic coronary individuals after cardiac rehabilitation, assessing separately male and female subjects separately. METHODS Data used for the analyses were from an eight-week phase II cardiac rehabilitation including 284 pati...

PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to determine i) if there is a sex difference in the age of the elite marathon runners and ii) if the sex difference in performance altered across the years that women have participated in the marathon. METHODS Age at time of competition and running times of the first five placed male and female runners who competed in the seven marathons of the World Ma...

BACKGROUND Leptin is a protein produced in adipose tissue and takes part in angiogenesis and atherogenesis. Leptin is associated with development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. AIM To evaluate leptin concentrations in acute myocardial infarction and in the period of convalescence in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS Coronary angiography was performed in 58 pati...

A fatty meal induces vasodilatation (of both resting and stimulated forearm flow) in healthy young adults, an effect most likely mediated by the vasodilator actions of insulin. We therefore hypothesized that an impaired meal-related vascular response might be an in vivo marker of vascular insulin resistance, related to the presence of diabetes and/or higher age. Postprandial vascular responses ...

objective: atherosclerosis disease, inflammation and malnutrition have strong association with end stage renal disease (esrd). diabetes mellitus (dm) is the most commonly esrd causes. diabetic nephropathy (dn) could be associated with inflammation. type 2 diabetic patients with advanced nephropathy show the highest levels of inflammatory markers. this study was designed to determine the associa...

Visfatin has shown to be increased in type 2 diabetes but to be unrelated to insulin sensitivity. We hypothesized that visfatin is associated with insulin secretion in humans. To this aim, a cross-sectional study was conducted in 118 nondiabetic men and 64 (35 men and 29 women) type 2 diabetic patients. Type 1 diabetic patients with long-standing disease (n 58; 31 men and 27 women) were also st...

BACKGROUND Prolactin (PRL) secretion is quantifiable as mean, peak and nadir PRL concentrations, degree of irregularity (ApEn, approximate entropy) and spikiness (brief staccato-like fluctuations). HYPOTHESIS Distinct PRL dynamics reflect relatively distinct (combinations of) subject variables, such as gender, age, and BMI. LOCATION Clinical Research Unit. SUBJECTS Seventy-four healthy ad...

Objective: To determine the frequency of diabetic patients having Odontogenic Maxillofacial space infections in local population. Methodology: This cross sectional study was carried out from 1-3-2020 to August 2020 Department Oral and Surgery, Pakistan Institute Medical Sciences, Islamabad, assess association diabetics with facial infection. A total 70 both genders maxillofacial infection were ...

OBJECTIVE Appropriate gestational weight gain (GWG) is important in diabetic women. Current GWG guideline is for US general population, but not specific for diabetic women. We compared the effect of GWG on perinatal outcomes between diabetic and non-diabetic women. METHODS Fifty two hundred and twelve women who delivered live singleton infants at Korea University Medical Center from January 2...

Background & aim: Globally, diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases, which is considered as the leading cause of sexual dysfunction. However, its effect on female sexual function is still inconspicuous. This study aimed to compare diabetic and non-diabetic women in terms of sexual function. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 180 diabetic and non-diabetic (n=90 for ...
