Improving glycaemic control in people with Type 1 diabetes is known to reduce complications. Our aim was compare among using data gathered regional or national registries.Data were obtained for children and/or adults from the following countries (or regions): Western Australia, Austria, Denmark, England, Champagne-Ardenne (France), Germany, Epirus, Thessaly and Thessaloniki (Greece), Galway (Ireland), several Italian regions, Latvia, Rotterdam (The Netherlands), Otago (New Zealand), Norway,...
Immune response following viral infections has been suggested as a probable mechanism leading to subacute thyroiditis (SAT). A few cases of SAT SARS-CoV-2 infection have described since the outbreak pandemic in 2019. Cases after vaccination against influenza also reported. We describe two female patients with SARS-CoV-2.The first patient presented fever and pain thyroid area typical weeks BNT162B2 mRNA (Pfizer-BioNTech) COVID-19 vaccine. The second biochemical imaging features consistent...
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is independently associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases that primarily due to the early development of advanced atherosclerotic vascular changes. The aim our study was investigate predictors dysfunction in T2DM patients.We studied 165 patients without known macrovascular or microvascular disease. Standard demographic (age, gender, factors, medications), clinical (body mass index, blood pressure) and laboratory (glucose, glycated...
To update and extend a previous cross-sectional international comparison of glycaemic control in people with type 1 diabetes.Data were obtained for 520,392 children adults diabetes from 17 population five clinic-based data sources countries or regions between 2016 2020. Median HbA1c (IQR) proportions individuals < 58 mmol/mol (<7.5%), 58-74 (7.5-8.9%) ≥75 (≥9.0%) compared populations aged <15, 15-24 ≥25 years. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) (<7.5%) relative ≥58...
The aim of these studies was to determine the metabolic adaptation fasting and feeding during lactation. Normal lactating (L) nonlactating (NL) women (n = 6 each) were studied using infusions [U-13C]glucose [2-13C]glycerol during: 1) a 24-h fast, 2) ingestion Sustacal (protocol 1). In addition, 8 L NL infusion [6,6-2H2]glucose glucose meal containing [1-13C]glucose 2). Protocol 1: Glucose production rate (GPR) 33% higher in (12.5 ± 1.0 vs. 9.4 0.5 μmol·kg−1·min−1; P < 0.03). Fractional...
Diet, physical activity, sleep and smoking have been individually associated with glycemic control (GC) in adults type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). However, the combined effect of these factors has not investigated. The aim present study was to examine single effects lifestyle parameters on GC people T1D (PwT1D). Dietary, activity habits were evaluated using validated questionnaires. Diet quality assessed two scores (MedDietScore PURE Score) healthy indices (HLI) constructed (MLI based...
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic endocrine disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels, impacting millions of people globally. Its management requires intensive insulin therapy, frequent monitoring, and lifestyle adjustments. The accurate prediction the short-term course levels in subcutaneous space T1D people, as measured continuous monitoring (CGM) system, essential for improving control avoiding harmful hypoglycaemic hyperglycaemic swings, facilitating precise individualized...
Hyperprolactinaemia as a side effect of dopamine receptor blockers is common in patients with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders may lead to amenorrhoea, galactorrhoea, hypogonadism, subfertility osteoporosis. The aim our study was determine whether hyperprolactinaemia occurs also prior any antipsychotic treatment.Serum prolactin, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), free tetraiodothyronine (FT4) cortisol levels were measured 40 newly diagnosed, drug naïve, age...
Background: Obesity is associated with macrophage infiltration in adipose tissue that induces insulin resistance and contributes to the development of metabolic syndrome (MS). The aim this study was investigate whether circulating monocyte subsets (macrophage precursors) differ among obese subjects MS [metabolically unhealthy (MUO)], without healthy (MHO)], metabolically lean (MHL) individuals. Methods: Fifty-eight (33 MUO, 25 MHO) MHL individuals participated study. Absolute blood counts...
There is controversy about the correct dose and form of thyroid hormone therapy for patients with hypothyroidism. Despite restoration serum thyrotropin (TSH) concentrations to normal, many complain excessive weight gain. We have compared at diagnosis hyperthyroidism that when euthyroid, evidenced by a stable, normal TSH concentration, or without thyroxine (T4) replacement therapy, in treated an 18-month course antithyroid drugs (43 patients), surgery (56 13I (34 patients) Graves' disease. In...
Lactose is the major osmotic agent in milk. Therefore, lactose synthesis indirectly regulates milk volume. The aim of this study was to determine source glucose and galactose lactose. Six healthy lactating women were studied twice, during a 24-h fast ingestion mixed macronutrient drink (Sustacal) using [U-13C]glucose [2-13C]glycerol. additional on one single occasion labeled with [1-13C]glucose. Using ratios [13C6] enrichments plasma that glucose, we determined 98 +/- 3% 68 7% derived from...
