Recent trials of intensive glycemic control suggest a possible link between hypoglycemia and excess cardiovascular mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. Hypoglycemia might cause arrhythmias through effects on cardiac repolarization changes autonomic activity. Our aim was to study the risk during spontaneous diabetic risk. Twenty-five insulin-treated diabetes history disease or two more factors underwent simultaneous continuous interstitial glucose ambulatory electrocardiogram...

OBJECTIVE Hypoglycemia may exert proarrhythmogenic effects on the heart via sympathoadrenal stimulation and hypokalemia. Hypoglycemia-induced cardiac dysrhythmias are linked to “dead-in-bed syndrome,” a rare but devastating condition. We examined effect of nocturnal daytime clinical hypoglycemia electrocardiogram (ECG) in young people with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Thirty-seven individuals diabetes underwent 96 h simultaneous ambulatory ECG blinded continuous interstitial...

Background: Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have now become established as important second line agents for the management of type 2 diabetes, and are known to clinical glycaemic, renal cardiovascular benefits. The development genital mycotic infections is more common with SGLT2 (overall incidence in trials 4% 6%) compared other oral hypoglycaemic agents, can dissuade patients from persisting treatment. Aims: To determine whether provision hygiene advice beneficial...

We examined whether polymorphisms in interleukin-12B (IL12B) associate with susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) two West African populations (from The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau) independent from North South America.Nine (seven SNPs, one insertion/deletion, microsatellite) were analyzed 321 PTB cases 346 controls Guinea-Bissau 280 286 Gambia.For replication we studied 281 case 179 control African-American samples 221 144 of European ancestry the US Argentina.First-stage single locus...

<div>Abstract<p><b>Background:</b> African-Americans generally have lower circulating levels of 25 hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] than Whites, attributed to skin pigmentation and dietary habits. Little is known about the genetic determinants 25(OH)D nor whether degree African ancestry associates with 25(OH)D.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> With use a panel 276 informative markers, we estimated European admixture for sample 758 African-American non-Hispanic...

Health care resource utilization and costs may be indicators of disease severity overall health status. In observational studies, these factors could influence patients' probability receiving or benefiting from a particular treatment. We compared pre-index in diabetes patients initiating saxagliptin versus other non-insulin anti-diabetic regimens. Individuals age ≥18 years with evidence T2DM (ICD-9-CM 250.x0 250.x2) were identified US plan database. Patients ≥1 pharmacy claim for (SAXA)...
