PURPOSE To assess the safety and efficiency of combined phacoemulsification (PHACO) surgery and intravitreal triamcinolone (IVTA) injection with or without macular grid laser photocoagulation in patients with cataract and diabetic macular edema. MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective study included 41 eyes of 36 diabetic patients with cataract and coexisting clinically significant macular edem...

Glycemic control improves immediately after gastric bypass in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (1). The American Diabetes Association defines complete remission of diabetes as a return to normal glucose levels (HbA1c, 6%, fasting glucose ,5.6 mmol/L) without glucoselowering medication for at least 1 year after bariatric surgery (2). Prior studies have indicated that a rapid improve...

We reviewed 27 diabetic patients who sustained a tibial fracture treated with a reamed intramedullary nail and compared them with a control group who did not have diabetes. There were 23 closed fractures and four were open. Union was delayed until after six months in 12 of the 23 (52%) diabetic patients with closed fractures and ten of the 23 (43%) control patients (p = 0.768). In two patients ...

The number of people with diabetes mellitus is increasing and cataracts are one of the most common causes of visual impairment in these subjects. Advances in cataract surgical techniques and instrumentation have generally improved the outcomes; however,surgery may not be safe and effective in certain individuals with pre-existing retinal pathology or limited visual potential. This review articl...

This thesis examined the incidence and factors affecting the rate o f posterior capsular opacification (PCO), the most com mon complication o f cataract surgery, in diabetic and uveitic patients and in patients with multifocal intraocular lenses (IO L s). These patients are particularly sensitive to PCO developm ent because o f the risks associated with Nd:Y AG capsulotom y in the former two gr...

background: the differentiation of infected diabetic foot ulcers (idfu) from non infected diabetic foot ulcers (nidfu) is a challenging issue for clinicians. objectives: recently, procalcitonin (pct) was introduced as a remarkable inflammatory marker. we aimed to evaluate the accuracy of pct in comparison to other inflammatory markers for distinguishing idfu from nidfu. conclusions: these resul...

BACKGROUND The authors tested the hypothesis that the catabolic responses to colorectal surgery are amplified in the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS Seven nondiabetic and seven diabetic patients underwent a 6-h stable isotope infusion study (3 h fasted, 3-h glucose infusion at 4 mg . kg . min) on the second postoperative day. Leucine rate of appearance (Ra), leucine oxidation, n...
