Methods Thirty patients with diabetes mellitus type II who were scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass grafting were evaluated. As a control group, 30 patients without diabetes mellitus matched for age, EuroScore, and educational level were examined. All patients underwent a battery of neurologic and neuropsychologic tests the day before surgery, 7 days after surgery, and 4 months after ...

Nowadays, advances in technology and the associated increase in the standard of living has lead to a decrease in physical activity and the consumption of processed, high salt foods. As a result, there has been an increase of civilization diseases. Morbidity related to obesity, vascular hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic heart failure and neoplasma has increased in...

Lymphocytic mastitis is an uncommon condition associated with type I diabetes mellitus, which is known to be a T-cell mediated autoimmune disease. Hence, it is thought that lymphocytic mastitis is linked with autoimmune disorders. This report is of a patient with type II diabetes mellitus and rheumatoid arthritis who developed lymphocytic mastitis. Since rheumatoid arthritis is a T-cell mediate...

background: patients with diabetes mellitus type ii suffer from hyperglycemia because they are not able to use the insulin that they produce, often due to inadequate function of insulin receptors. there are some evidences that this deficiency is inherited in a dominant autosomal manner and leads to the malfunction of the pancreatic beta cells resulting in insulin excretion disorders. in this st...

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. The management of the blood glucose level is a critical strategy in the control of diabetes complications. Inhibitors of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes have been useful as oral hypoglycemic drugs for the control of hyperglycemia especially in patients with type II disables mellitus. The goal of the present study...

OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of microalbuminuria among patients with type II diabetes mellitus in a primary care setting, and to study the association between various risk factors and the presence of microalbuminuria. DESIGN Cross-sectional community-based study. SETTING Four primary care clinics, Hong Kong. PATIENTS All patients with type II diabetes mellitus who regularly atte...

Diabetes mellitus is one of the leading diseases in the developed world. In order to better regulate blood glucose in a diabetic patient, improved modelling of insulin-glucose dynamics is a key factor in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. In the current work, the insulin-glucose dynamics in type II diabetes mellitus can be modelled by using a stochastic nonlinear state-space model. Estimating ...

BACKGROUND Patients with diabetes mellitus show a negative outcome in percutaneous coronary intervention, aortic valve replacement and cardiac surgery. The impact of diabetes on patients undergoing treatment of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) using the MitraClip system is not known. We therefore sought to assess whether percutaneous mitral valve repair with the MitraClip system is safe and eff...

PURPOSE To assess cone density as a marker of early signs of retinopathy in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. METHODS An adaptive optics (AO) retinal camera (rtx1™; Imagine Eyes, Orsay, France) was used to acquire images of parafoveal cones from patients with type II diabetes mellitus with or without retinopathy and from healthy controls with no known systemic or ocular disease. Cone m...
