Although it is well known that lifestyle changes can affect plasma glucose levels, there little formal evidence for the sustained effectiveness of exercise and diet in diabetes mellitus (DM) management. Self-care DM refers to real-life application knowledge patient gained during education programmes. The goals are bring about patient's behaviour, thus improving glycaemic control. We evaluated influence self-care activities (SCA) on control a total 159 patients with DM. Plasma glycated...
Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) contribute to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular (CV) diseases (CVDs), making their non-invasive assessment through skin autofluorescence (SAF) increasingly important. This study aims investigate relationship between SAF levels, risk, diabetic complications in T2DM patients. We conducted a single-center, cross-sectional at Consultmed Hospital Iasi, Romania, including 885 The levels was performed with AGE Reader™,...
Abstract Tumor necrosis factor-α plays a role in the inflammatory processes that occur within artery walls. Cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes are more likely to as result of these consequences, which can worsen plaque formation instability. Fast screening tests for assay tumor factor-α, able provide information medical practitioneers real time necessary early prediction cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, green smartphone operated stochastic sensor based on immobilisation...
The human microbiota is paramount for normal host physiology. Altered host-microbiome interactions are part of the pathogenesis numerous common ailments. Currently, much emphasis placed on involvement microbiome in type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), impaired glucose tolerance, and other metabolic disorders (i.e. obesity). Several studies found highly significant correlations specific intestinal bacteria with T2DM. A better understanding role its complications might provide new insights...
Two stochastic sensors based on the nanographene (nanoGR) paste and of exfoliated graphene (exfGR) modified with 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPh) were designed used for molecular enantiorecognition D- L-glucose in urine whole blood samples. The largest linear concentration range (18.40–1180.00 mg dL−1) determination D-glucose was obtained using sensor exfGR/DPPh; this is able to cover both diabetic non-diabetic patients. (0.1–2.3 assay samples nanoGR. For ranges (D-glucose 2.30–2500.00...
The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has resulted in increased rates anxiety and depression worldwide. Objective. To comparatively evaluate factors associated with the psychological impact Coronavirus disease between 2019 year 2020. Materials Methods. study was performed on a group 3224 patients, which 197 were hospitalized, selected from Jan 1st until 30th Dec 2020 tertiary care center for psychiatric disorders. Data collected observation charts. Results. incidence disorders is higher age...
Background and objectives: Vitamin D is involved in insulin resistance through genomic non-genomic mechanisms. Several observational randomized studies have discrepant results; some of them showed an improved (IR), others a neutral effect after vitamin deficiency corrected. Materials Methods: We designed retrospective study that included all women who presented for 33 months outpatient clinic Bucharest, Romania. Results: analyzed 353 patients with mean age 58.5 ± 13.7 years, body mass index...
Longitudinal studies have indicated an association between thyroid function and insulin resistance (IR) or a neutral relationship. Both the lowest tertile of free thyroxine (fT4) highest triiodothyronine (fT3) were found to be associated with IR in cross‑sectional studies. The aim present study was analyze subclinical hypothyroidism female adult population from Bucharest, Romania. This is retrospective pilot case‑control that included patients examined by two endocrinologists diabetologist...
Since diabetes is considered to be both a chronic pathology and an inflammatory disease involving interleukins, the present paper proposes molecular recognition of interleukins 1β, 6, 12, 17 from whole blood samples taken patients with type 1 2 using stochastic microsensors. Three microsensors based on diamond paste modified three types chitosan (given by degree polymerization) were designed characterized for four in samples. Different signatures obtained showed that they can simultaneous...
The paper proposed the molecular recognition of pyruvic acid and L-lactate in whole blood urine samples using three stochastic microsensors based on graphenes' pastes (graphene materials decorated with nanoparticles TiO2Ag or TiO2Au, reduced graphene oxide) modified α-cyclodextrin. sensors covered large ranges concentration: 10−15 to 10−6 for assay at pH = 3 (urine samples), 7.4 (whole 10−14 samples). limits determination are fmol/L magnitude order, lower being recorded Ag-TiO2-GR (0.1fmol...
The wide range of R0 resection rates (R0RR) and incomplete (IRR) observed with conventional cold snare polypectomy (CCSP) emphasizes the necessity for technique enhancement. COLDWATER study aimed to compare underwater (UCSP) CCSP 5-10-mm colorectal polyps, focusing on comprehensive histopathological evaluation, efficacy, safety.
Objectives. As weight modification during the COVID-19 pandemic was reported in several circumstances, we aimed to assess body composition changes using bio impedance patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) this period. Materials and Methods. We conducted an observational, retrospective study, from January 2021- June 2021, two outpatient clinics, enrolling all T2DM SARS-CoV2 infection that presented for evaluation after infection. Blood tests (serum creatinine, urea, blood glucose,...
