SYNOPSIS The fibrinolytic response of 30 diabetic patients and 35 non-diabetics to 0-5 mg. subcutaneous adrenaline was measured, using the dilute clot lysis test. With the exception of two patients out of six who were taking phenformin, who had a depressed response, the diabetics showed a similar increase in fibrinolytic activity to the non-diabetics. The diabetics in this series did not tend t...

Diabetics have greater prevalence of heart disease such as ischaemic heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure [1, 2, 3]. The diabetic state shows many metabolic abnormalities which adversely influence atherosclerosis causing coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease.

Demographers are calling it the “Silver Tsunami”. Dramatic world-wide increases in lifespan over the last 60 years coupled with seriously declining birthrates have created a brave new world wherein a growing number of older people are being supported by a shrinking number of younger workers. This is creating a strain on economies, on government resources and on the families and friends of older...

To determine whether hair is excessively glycosylated in diabetes mellitus 4 cm hair samples were taken proximally from behind the ear in 50 white non-diabetics and 46 diabetics. Hair glycosylation was assayed by a modification of the thiobarbituric acid reaction. Blood was taken from the diabetics at the same time for measurement of glycosylated haemoglobin concentration. The mean (1 SD) conce...

INTRODUCTION Diabetics die from cardiovascular disease at a much greater rate than nondiabetics. Cardiac autonomic imbalance predicts increased cardiovascular risk and mortality. We studied the relationship between cardiac autonomic imbalance and adipose tissue-derived inflammation in newly diagnosed and established type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Non-diabetics, newly diagnosed diabeti...

Arterial calcifications are present in 20–40% of patients with end-stage kidney disease and more frequent among the elderly diabetics. They reduce possibility arterio-venous fistula (AVF) formation maturation increase likelihood complications, especially distal ischemia. This review focuses on methods for detecting arterial assessing suitability calcified arteries providing inflow before constr...

Background: Frailty is associated with increased risk of hospitalization in diabetic patients. Both SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and type 2 diabetes mellitus contribute to the frailty. In this study we aimed observe clinical laboratory indices subjects during COVID-19 who were either frail or not according Edmonton score. Material methods: During era, 100 consecutive patients divided into two groups as ...
