Background and Aims: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices could be useful for real-time management of diabetes therapy. In particular, CGM information used in real time to predict future levels order prevent hypo-/hyperglycemic events. This article proposes a new online method predicting concentration from data. Methods: The predictor is implemented with an artificial neural network model (NNM). inputs the NNM are values provided by sensor during preceding 20 min, while output...
Surgery is the treatment of choice for many pituitary tumors; function may suffer after operation, but relief pressure on normal also favor postoperative recovery hypopituitarism. The aim this study was to investigate frequency new appearance and hypopituitarism neurosurgery try identify features associated with it. Pre- anterior functions were investigated in 234 patients adenomas (56 nonfunctioning, 71 PRL-secreting, 66 GH-secreting, 39 ACTH-secreting, 1 LH/FSH-secreting, TSH-secreting...
In the past decade diabetes management has been transformed by addition of continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump data. More recently, a wide variety functions physiologic variables, such as heart rate, hours sleep, number steps walked movement, have available through wristbands or watches. New data, hydration, geolocation, barometric pressure, among others, will be incorporated in future. All these parameters, when analyzed, can helpful for patients doctors’ decision support....
Gestational diabetes (GDM) burden has been increasing progressively over the past years. Knowing that intrauterine exposure to maternal confers high risk for macrosomia as well future type 2 and obesity of offspring, health care organizations try provide effective control in spite limited resources. Artificial-intelligence-augmented telemedicine proposed a helpful tool facilitate an efficient widespread medical assistance GDM. The aim study we present was test feasibility acceptance mobile...
We describe our experience in the remote management of women with gestational diabetes mellitus during COVID-19 pandemic. used a mobile phone application artificial intelligence that automatically classifies and analyses data (ketonuria, diet transgressions, blood glucose values), making adjustment recommendations regarding or insulin treatment.
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is increasingly recognized as a key component in the development of insulin resistance and increased blood pressure. In sample 368 individuals, ratio soluble TNF-alpha receptors (sTNFR2/sTNFR1) correlated positively with systolic diastolic pressure (P < 0.01). This was significantly greater type 2 diabetic subjects (DM-2) than 1 patients control nondiabetic 0.00001). The receptor (TNFR1) density peripheral monocytes similar DM-2 subjects. After phorbol...
Biomedical engineering research efforts have accomplished another level of a "technological solution" for diabetes: an artificial pancreas to be used by patients and supervised healthcare professionals at any time place. Reliability continuous glucose monitoring, availability real-time programmable insulin pumps, validation safe efficient control algorithms are critical components achieving that goal. Nevertheless, the development integration these new technologies within telemedicine system...
Previous studies have shown increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with psoriasis.To characterize the anthropometric and profile Spanish moderate to severe psoriasis compared controls without matched for gender, age body mass index (BMI), evaluate impact narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) therapy on patient profiles.Baseline waist circumference, fat composition, lipid, carbohydrate calcium metabolism profile, inflammation markers, homocysteine, vitamins D, B(6) B(12) folic...
Context Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is characterized by severe hyperphagia. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and leptin are reciprocally involved in energy homeostasis. Objectives To analyze the role of BDNF satiety genetic subtypes PWS. Design Experimental study. Setting University hospital. Subjects 90 adults: 30 PWS patients; age-sex-BMI-matched obese controls; age-sex-matched lean controls. Interventions ingested a liquid meal after fasting ≥10 hours. Main Outcome Measures Leptin...
OBJECTIVE Early worsening of diabetic retinopathy (EWDR) due to the rapid decrease blood glucose levels is a concern in diabetes treatment. The aim current study evaluate whether this an important issue subjects with type 2 mild or moderate nonproliferative DR (NPDR), who represent vast majority attended primary care. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This retrospective nested case-control and previous NPDR. Using SIDIAP (“Sistema d'informació pel Desenvolupament de la Recerca Atenció Primària”)...
<h3>Background</h3> Data on the prevalence of dyslipidemia in type 1 diabetes mellitus are scarce and based total triglyceride cholesterol concentrations alone. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess effect glycemic optimization low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) requiring intervention patients with diabetes. <h3>Patients</h3> A 334 adults 803 nondiabetic control subjects. <h3>Methods</h3> Levels glycosylated hemoglobin, cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density (HDL-C), LDL-C were assessed at baseline...
The effect of insulin therapy on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidizability, proportion electronegative LDL [LDL(−)] and composition was studied in 33 type 2 diabetic patients. Before glycemic control improvement, subjects presented higher triglyceride very cholesterol lower high-density than 25 healthy matched subjects. Furthermore, their more susceptible to oxidation (lag phase 45.9 ± 5.4 min vs. 49.7 7.6 min, P < 0.05), contained a LDL(−) (19.0 8.7% 14.3 5.5%, enriched depleted...
Recent advances in information and communication technology allow the design testing of new models diabetes management, which are able to provide assistance patients regardless their distance from health care providers. The M2DM project, funded by European Commission, has specific aim investigate potential novel telemedicine services management. A multi-access system based on integration Web access, telephone access through interactive voice response systems, use palmtops smart modems for...
The risks associated with gestational diabetes (GD) can be reduced an active treatment able to improve glycemic control. Advances in mobile health provide new patient-centric models for GD create personalized care services, increase patient independence and patients' self-management capabilities, potentially their compliance. In these models, decision-support functions play essential role. telemedicine system MobiGuide provides medical decision support patients that is based on computerized...
Background: In type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), patients play an active role in their own care and need to have the knowledge adapt decisions daily living conditions. Artificial intelligence applications can help people with decision making allow them react at time scales shorter than scheduled face-to-face visits. This work presents a support system (DSS), based on glucose prediction, assist mobile environment. Methods: The system’s impact therapeutic corrective actions has been evaluated...
