Abstract Aims To investigate whether small nerve fibre degeneration detected using corneal confocal microscopy is associated with cardiac autonomic neuropathy in people Type 1 diabetes. Methods Thirty‐six diabetes and 20 age‐ sex‐matched healthy control subjects were enrolled. Tests to determine heart rate response deep‐breathing (expiratory‐to‐inspiratory ratio), lying‐to‐stand test (30:15 ratio) blood pressure standing performed detect neuropathy. Corneal was assess: density beadings;...
Diet is an important component of type 2 diabetes therapy. Low adherence to current therapeutic diets points out the need for alternative dietary approaches. This study evaluated effect a different approach, macrobiotic Ma-Pi diet, and compared it with standard recommended patients diabetes. A randomized, controlled, open-label, 21-day trial was undertaken in comparing diet (control) by professional societies treatment Changes fasting blood glucose (FBG) post-prandial (PPBG) were primary...
Abstract Aim To compare a Mediterranean diet (MED) with high‐fibre vegetarian (HFV) in terms of hunger‐satiety perception through post‐prandial assessment appetite‐related hormones glucagon‐like peptide 1 (GLP‐1) and oxyntomodulin, as well self‐rated visual analogue scale (VAS) quantification, overweight/obese subjects type 2 diabetes (T2D). Materials methods Twelve T2D (Male to female ratio = 7:5), mean age 63 ± 8.5 years, were enrolled randomized, controlled, crossover study. Participants...
Abstract Background: In the MADIAB trial (a 21-day randomized, controlled in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D)), intervention Ma-Pi macrobiotic diet resulted significantly greater improvements metabolic control compared a standard recommended for T2D. We report on 6-month follow-up study, which investigated, whether these benefits extended beyond intensive dietary intervention, real-world conditions. Subjects: At end of (baseline this study), all participants continued their assigned...
Microvascular complications' risk differs between people with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and type 2 diabetes. We aimed to investigate whether the prevalence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy, a life-threatening complication diabetes, also varies depending on type.In this cross-sectional study, 43 LADA, 80 1 61 were screened for neuropathy recommended tests. Logistic regression models used test differences types adjusting confounders.Cardiac was diagnosed 17 (40%) participants...
We assessed long-term mortality and its association with chronic alcohol-related diseases in patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) because of acute alcoholic intoxication (AAI). A retrospective cohort study was performed at ED Sant'Orsola-Malpighi Hospital, Bologna, Italy. 3304 patients, corresponding 6415 admissions for AAI, who accessed from January 1, 2005, December 31, 2017, were studied. The electronic registry system used assess living status on 08 May 2020 obtain...
Little is known about the changes in organs and tissues that may make elder patients more vulnerable to acute stressors such as SARS-CoV-2 infection. In 80 consecutive elderly with infection, we evaluated association between descending thoracic aorta calcium score, L1 bone density T12 skeletal muscle measured on same scan by high-resolution computed tomography. At median regression, ln-transformed DTA score was inversely associated (-0.02, 95%CI -0.04 -0.01 ln-Agatston units for an increase...
The aim of the study was to investigate different B-cell responses after a glucagon stimulation test (GST) versus mixed meal tolerance (MMTT).We conducted GST and MMTT in 10 healthy people (aged 25-40 years) measured C-peptide, gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) at time points administration 1 mg i.v. for or liquid MMTT.The stimulated C-peptide showed mean increase 147.1%, whereas 99.82% (Δincrease = 47.2%). Maximum level reached with greater than that obtained...
Introduction Current guidelines for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) emphasize diet as essential therapy. However, effect on systemic inflammation remains unclear. We investigated effects consuming a macrobiotic Ma-Pi versus standard recommended (control diet) markers in patients with T2D. Methods This was post hoc analysis MADIAB trial, 21-day randomized controlled trial conducted 51 (25 males and 26 females) Patients were 1:1 to or control based dietary Biological antioxidant...
Background: Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an amide with “autacoid local inflammation antagonism” effects, protecting nerve degeneration due to mast cell degranulation. PEA add-on alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) successfully used as treatment of neuropathic pain, but there are no data in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) specifically. Aim: To evaluate whether ALA has potentials controlling DPN symptoms. Methods: In this pilot longitudinal observational study, clinical and biochemical from...
Aims: Filipino people are one of the largest immigrant populations in Italy. Aim this study was to assess differences T2D, prediabetes and obesity between native Italians immigrants living Rome. Changes metabolic characteristics dietary habits first-generation their descendants were examined. Methods: A cross-sectional survey carried out adopting principles community-based participatory research. total 132 Filipinos aged 35-60 years resident Rome for ≥ 5 years, 164 age sex-matched 27 10-18...
Aim: To compare a Mediterranean dietetic pattern with vegetarian in terms of hunger-satiety perception through post-prandial assessment appetite-related hormones glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and Oxyntomodulin (OXM), as well self-rated Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) quantification, overweight/obese type-2 diabetes (T2D) subjects. Methods: Twelve T2D subjects (M:F = 7:5), mean age 63 ± 8.5 years, were enrolled our randomized, controlled, crossover study. Participants given meal high complex...
