Background Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is an established treatment option for type 2 diabetes and obesity. However, the optimal lengths small intestinal limbs remain controversial with variation in practice. A longer biliopancreatic limb length of 150 cm (‘Long Limb’) was hypothesised to better improve glycaemia compared standard a 50 (‘Standard Limb’). The aim trial evaluate short-term mechanistic outcomes long-term clinical safety Long Limb versus Standard bypass. Methods We undertook...
Objectives Procalcitonin (PCT) is an acute-phase reactant with concentrations ≥0.5 μg/L indicative of possible bacterial infection in patients SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Some severe COVID-19 develop cytokine storm secondary to virally driven hyper-inflammation. However, increased pro-inflammatory cytokines are also seen sepsis. This study aimed assess the clinical utility a panel assessment superinfections along PCT and C-reactive protein (CRP). Methods The retrospective analysis included serum...
A chronic inflammation resulting from an imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) might be responsible for IR hypothyroidism. This study was performed to investigate a probable association autoimmune background of hypothyroidism IR.In this clinical study, 63 subjects with 49 post-ablation were enrolled. All the participants euthyroid more than one year through Levothyroxine therapy. Serum concentrations Thyroid-stimulating Hormone...
Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis which characterised by oral, aphthous ulcers, genital skin lesions and ocular manifestations. Although the aetiopathogenesis of BD still unknown, critical role Th1 immune responses, neutrophil hyperactivation alongside overproduction pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, IL-8, tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) particularly IL-17 have been demonstrated in immunopathogenesis disease. Despite significant progress...
Obesity affects one in four people the United Kingdom and costs National Health Service (NHS) ∼£6.5 billion annually. The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor analogues, such as once-daily subcutaneous Liraglutide 3.0 mg (Saxenda®) once-weekly Semaglutide 2.4 (Wegovy®), were approved by Institute of Care Excellence (NICE) a treatment for obesity funded NHS 2 years. Our local data shows that Saxenda is effective at reducing body weight glycaemia with diabetes; however, supply issues GLP-1...
Background: To reduce health inequalities, the creatinine-based chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration 2021 formula for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is replacing 2009 formula, which required adjustment specifically Black individuals. We compared and formulae with cystatin C-based eGFR in people on antiretroviral therapy (ART) HIV RNA <200 c/ml. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of paired serum creatinine C measurements. Bias, imprecision, accuracy, performance...
Public Health England has identified that in COVID-19, death rates among ethnic minorities far exceeds of the white population. While increase is likely to be multifactorial, date, no studies have looked see whether values for routine clinical biochemistry parameters differ between minority and individuals.
