To date no clinical trials have evaluated the role of dietary patterns on incidence microvascular diabetes complications. We hypothesized that a nutritional intervention based Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) would greater protective effect diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy than low-fat control diet.This was post hoc analysis cohort patients with type 2 participating in PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED) study, multicenter randomized trial conducted population at high cardiovascular...
Pancreas graft status in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant (SPKTx) is currently assessed by nonspecific biochemical markers, typically amylase or lipase. Identifying a noninvasive biomarker with good sensitivity detecting early pancreas rejection could improve SPKTx management.Here, we developed pilot study to explore donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) performance predicting biopsy-proven acute (P-BPAR) of the cohort 36 recipients biopsy-matched plasma samples. dd-cfDNA was...
People with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The Mediterranean diet is associated reduced CVD; however, the evidence in T1D scarce. We aimed to analyse relationships between adherence energy-restricted (erMEDd) and carotid atherosclerosis.
Since the arrival of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), relationship between management indicator (GMI) and HbA1c has been a topic considerable interest in diabetes research. This study aims to explore association GMI/HbA1c ratio presence preclinical carotid atherosclerosis type 1 (T1D). Individuals with T1D no prior history cardiovascular disease were recruited from two centers. Carotid ultrasonography was performed using standardized protocol plaques defined as intima-media thickness ≥...
Objective— Bilirubin is a potent antioxidant that has been inversely related to cardiovascular disease. There little information on serum total bilirubin (TB) in relation atherosclerosis familial dyslipidemia. We assessed the association between TB and carotid femoral this high-risk group. Approach Results— evaluated 464 individuals with dyslipidemia (56% men; median age, 48 years), 322 hypercholesterolemia, 142 combined hyperlipidemia. Carotid arteries were imaged bilaterally standardized...
Although insulin resistance (IR) is a growing trait among type 1 diabetes (T1D) population, its relationship with atherosclerosis has been scarcely studied. We assessed the association between IR indexes and carotid in T1D, population at high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.We evaluated 191 participants T1D no prior CVD least one of following criteria: ≥40 years old; diabetic nephropathy; or duration ≥10 harbouring ≥1 additional risk factor. was metabolic syndrome (MetS) harmonized...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the concordance between 2019 ESC Guidelines on diabetes, pre-diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases developed in collaboration with EASD (ESC/EASD-2019) Steno T1 Risk Engine (Steno-Risk) risk scales for individuals type 1 diabetes (T1D) without disease (CVD) to analyze relationships of their use identification preclinical atherosclerosis. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We consecutively selected patients T1D, CVD, age ≥40 years, nephropathy, and/or ≥10 years T1D evolution...
Improvement in insulin alternatives is leading to a delayed presentation of microvascular and macrovascular complications diabetes. The objective this study was evaluate the long-term outcomes older (≥50 years) diabetic patients who receive pancreas transplantation (PT).We retrospectively evaluated all 338 PTs performed at our center between 2000 2016 (mean follow-up 9.4±4.9 years). Recipient graft survivals were estimated for up 10 years after PT. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs)...
People living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and it is the leading cause morbidity mortality in this population. CVD increases each uncontrolled factor, even individuals good glycaemic control. Recommendations for assessing T1D population are extended from those 2 (T2D) though physiopathology underlying mechanisms atherosclerosis poorly understood differ T2D. Unlike assessment microvascular complications, which well established T1D, far...
The usefulness of cardiovascular disease (CVD) predictive equations in different populations is debatable. We assessed the efficacy Framingham-REGICOR scale, validated for Spanish population, to identify future CVD participants, who were predefined as being at high-risk PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED) study-a nutrition-intervention primary prevention trial-and impact adherence Mediterranean diet on across risk categories.In a post hoc analysis, we value baseline estimated 5966...
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of maternal diabetes in risk neurodevelopmental disorders offspring prenatal and postnatal periods.This cohort included singleton gestational mellitus (GDM) pregnancies >22 weeks' gestation with live newborns between 1991 2008. The control group was randomly selected matched (1:2) for age, weeks birth year. Cox regression models estimated effect GDM on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum (ASD), type 2 (T2DM). Moreover,...
Lipoprotein disturbances have been associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). We assessed the advanced lipoprotein profile T1DM individuals, and analysed differences non-diabetic counterparts.This cross-sectional study involved 508 adults 347 controls, recruited from institutions a Mediterranean region of Spain. Conventional (assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance [NMR] spectroscopy) profiles were analysed. Crude adjusted (by age, sex,...
Tools to detect type 1 diabetes (T1D) individuals at overt cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk are scarce. We aimed assess the usefulness of score 'Steno Type Risk Engine' (Steno-Risk) identify T1D patients with advanced carotid atherosclerosis.T1D without CVD least one following were included: ≥40 years, diabetic nephropathy, or duration ≥10 years ≥1 factor. Intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque presence (IMT ≥1.5 mm) assessed by standardized B-mode ultrasonography. Steno-Risk was used...
