Obesidad, hipertensión, síndrome metabólico y diabetes mellitus tipo 2 en dadores de sangre, individuos presuntamente sanos, del banco de sangre, tejidos y biológicos, de la ciudad de Posadas
Obesity, hypertension, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus in blood donors, presumably healthy individuals, from the blood, tissue and biological bank of the city of Posadas

Resumen La enfermedad cardiovascular ocupa uno de los primeros puestos como causa de muerte en el mundo. Durante el primer año del proyecto, nos propusimos hallar la prevalencia y su distribución por sexo de hipertensión, obesidad general y abdominal en donantes de sangre. Establecer la frecuencia y s...

Basal metabolic rate in Brazilian patients with type 2 diabetes: comparison between measured and estimated values

ABSTRACT Objectives: The aims of this study are to investigate which of the seven selected predictive equation for estimating basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the best alternative to indirect calorimetry (IC) and to evaluate the dietary energy intake in patients with type 2 diabetes. Subjects and methods:...

Diabetes control could through platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in hemograms

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Association between type 2 diabetes mellitus and inflammation is well-established. We aimed to study platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), a novel inflammatory index derived from hemogram, in diabetic patients in comparison to those in healthy volunteers. METHODS Medical data of type ...

Serum uric acid to HDL-cholesterol ratio is a strong predictor of metabolic syndrome in type 2 diabetes mellitus

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a clinical entity that associated with increased risk of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and cardiovascular diseases. Serum uric acid levels are correlated MS criteria. We hypothesized whether a uric acid to HDL-cholesterol ratio (UHR) could predict diabetic r...

Diabetic regulation of subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with serum vitamin D levels

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Vitamin D deficiency is not only associated with bone metabolism but also with diabetes mellitus. We aimed to study the possible association between serum vitamin D concentration and HbA1c level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in this retrospective report. METHODS P...

Adipokine gene variability and plasma levels in patients with chronic periodontitis -a case-control study

Abstract: Specific variants in genes that encode adipokines and their mRNA and protein expression were previously studied in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, and similar studies have been performed for chronic periodontitis (CP). The aim of this case-control study was to investigate the possi...

Efecto del ejercicio sobre la inflamación y ferritina sérica en pacientes con obesidad y diabetes mellitus 2

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) is considered a chronic inflammatory and systemic disease of low degree of intensity that promotes other pathologies such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and cognitive impairment. The relationship between inflammatory markers and insulin resistance in obese patients is kn...

Dapagliflozin versus saxagliptin as add-on therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin

ABSTRACT Objective: This analysis compared the efficacy and safety of the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, dapagliflozin, and the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitor, saxagliptin, both added on to metformin. Materials and methods: This was a post-hoc analysis from a double-blind, r...

Evaluation of plaque characteristics in coronary artery patients with impaired glucose tolerance through optical coherence tomography

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE With the adoption of optical coherence tomography (OCT), this study targets the impacts on plaque characteristics brought about by impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in patients with coronary artery disease. METHODS For this study, 150 patients with coronary artery disease were recrui...
