Background: Diabetes is an important metabolic disease with myriad manifestations and complications, affecting many people. Cutaneous infections impact numerous diabetic patients. Among different bacterial infections in diabetic patients, the infections caused by mycobacteria other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MOTT) eventuate in complications owing to the paucity of accurate detection...

Aims: Chronic diseases strongly affect the severity of infection and mortality in patients with COVID-19. High levels of ferritin also indicate the severity of the disease and may indicate the presence of secondary infections among patients. The aim of this study was to compare ferritin levels in diabetic patients with COVID-19 and non-diabetic patients with COVID-19 based on age and gender gro...

Background and Aims: Atorvastatin may alter glycemic traits and lipid profiles. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of atorvastatin on biochemical variables in patients with type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes (borderline diabetes). Materials and Methods: This study included 80 individuals divided into five groups. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and pre-diabetes used atorvastatin 20...

to determine the relation between birth weight and age of presentation of type 1 diabetes and assess its risk factors, a case-control study was done on all diabetic patients under the age of 15, who were registered in shiraz diabetic center or admitted in namazi hospital. a case group of 87 diabetic patients were matched with a control group of 100 healthy individuals. birth weight ≥ 4kg was de...

background: diabetic men have been claimed to have lower serum free testosterone (ft) concentrations than non-diabetic men. the aim of this study was to investigate if serum ft, luteinizing hormone (lh), and follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) concentrations are different in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with healthy men and to identify factors associated with low serum testost...

background: cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) during coronary artery bypass grafting is thought to contribute significantly to increased blood glucose level and altered blood electrolytes balance during the operation. in this (cabg) study, blood electrolytes and glucose during cpb in insulin-dependent diabetic and non-diabetic patients were assessed with special emphasis on the trend of the changes....

purpose: one of the major causes of visual acuity loss in diabetic patients is diabetic macular edema (dme). best-corrected visual acuity and central macular thickness changes are considered as two main outcomes in diabetic macular patients. the goal of this study was to compare the effect of intravitreal bevacizumab injection alone or combined with triamcinolone versus macular photocoagulation...

the study included nineteen control subjects and fifty-nine diabetic patients. the diabetic patients were divided according to the treatment they received. fasting blood glucose was markedly increased in all three groups, while low serum vitamin a, c and e levels were observed in diabetic patients as compared to control subjects.
