BACKGROUND A chronic state of impaired glucose metabolism affects multiple components of the immune system, possibly leading to an increased incidence of post-operative infections. Such infections increase morbidity, length of stay, and overall cost. This study evaluates the correlation between elevated pre-operative glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and post-operative infections. STUDY DESIGN ...

background diabetes is a metabolic syndrome and the most common endocrine disorder in childhood and adolescence. diabetes occurs at any age but the highest outbreak is during ten to 15 years of age and 75% of the cases are diagnosed at the age 18. objectives this study aimed to investigate the effect of a group discussion on the quality of life (qol) and glycosylated hemoglobin a (hba1c) levels...

BACKGROUND Hypertension is about twice as frequent in individuals with diabetes as in those without diabetes. Formation of glycosylated conjugates like HbA1c is implicated to have many effects on the vascular endothelium which leads to the development of hypertension in diabetes. Nitric oxide (NO)-dependent vasodilatation has been shown to be an important factor in the maintenance and regulatio...

Many patients with clinically severe obesity (CSO) need to undergo bariatric surgery, possible side effects, so individualized predictive methods are required. Adipocytokines and gut/intestinal microbiota-derived metabolites could be biomarkers of metabolic success post- but the knowledge in this field is undefined. The objective work was determine whether adipocytokines can used predict improv...

BACKGROUND Diabetic patients with concomitant dyslipidemia are often soft targets for cardiovascular disease and deaths. An early intervention to normalize circulating lipids has been shown to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is routinely used as a marker to indicate long-term glycemic control. AIM Our aim was to test whether HbA1c can serve as a ...

Purpose: To determine the status of glycemic control and its associated factors among adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Hodeidah City, Yemen.
 Methods: This cross-sectional study involved T2DM attending an outpatient clinic at Military Hospital Hodeidah, from January to March 2017. Relevant socio-demographic characteristics, clinical self-management behaviours were rec...

Aim: To determine the incidence of retinopathy in patients newly diagnosed with type-II diabetes mellitus. Place and Duration: Alshifa Trust Eye Hospital, Rawalpindi Ophthalmology Department, CMH, Lahore for six-months duration from January 2022 to June 2022. Methods: The study included 200 individuals type 2 mellitus within previous two months selected non-probability consecutive sampling tech...

AIMS The vascular tissues have a long memory of their previous glycemic control and intervention studies have demonstrated that microvascular complications are highly correlated with mean glycemic control as measured by glycolated hemoglobin A₁C ( HbA₁c)The present study was carried out to evaluate the autoantibodies against glycosylated DNA (DNA-AGEs) in diabetic sera to see if the level of Hb...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is risk factor for complications after orthopedic surgery. OBJECTIVES We tested the hypothesis that anesthesia preoperative clinic (APC) referral for elevated glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduces complication rate after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients (n = 203) with and without DM were chosen from 1,237 patients undergoing T...

The 2014 American Diabetes Association guidelines denote four means of diagnosing diabetes. The first of these is a glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) >6.5%. This literature review summarizes studies (n=47) in the USA examining the significance, strengths, and limitations of using HbA1c as a diagnostic tool for diabetes, relative to other available means. Due to the relatively recent adoption of H...
