Abstract: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have recently emerged as a new class of antidiabetic that show favorable results in improving glycemic control with minimal risk hypoglycemia and weight gain. Teneligliptin, novel DPP-4 inhibitor, exhibits unique structure characterized by five consecutive rings, which produce potent long-lasting effect. Teneligliptin is currently used cases showing insufficient improvement even after diet exercise or combination control, exercise,...

However, no reports have described the development of diabetes during HAART.Our objective was investigate clinical course autoantibodies and HAART.Based their high antiislet autoantibody titers requirement for insulin therapy, we diagnosed three with diabetes. To clarify relationship between an reaction against pancreatic beta-cells recovery...
Blood glucose control in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is reportedly influenced by the seasons, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels decreasing summer or warm season and increasing winter cold season. In addition, several studies have shown that sepsis also associated seasons. Although both blood can strongly affect occurrence of severe hypoglycemia, few examined seasonal variation hypoglycemia. The aim present study to examine association between hypoglycemia seasons type 1 (T1DM), 2...
Effective communication is crucial for supporting people with diabetes, yet many medical staff feel unsure about their skills in this area. We evaluated role-playing seminars as a method to improve among staff. From 2008 2024, we conducted 78 2,458 participants, including nurses, dietitians, and pharmacists. Participants engaged realistic simulated scenarios based on common clinical situations of patient-medical interactions, taking roles patients (patient performers), (medical observers....
A 55-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our hospital with severe weakness. Without measurement of serum electrolyte concentrations, diuretic therapy for hypertension started 2 weeks prior admission. Laboratory findings showed profound hypokalemia (1.4 mEq/L), and extreme elevation the creatinine phosphokinase levels (15,760 IU/L), suggesting that patient had hypokalemic paralysis hypokalemia-induced rhabdomyolysis. Further evaluations, including adrenal venous sampling strongly suggested...
Nerve excitability test, intensity-duration curve, and measurements of action potentials evoked by facial nerve stimulation (evoked electromyography) were made on 146 patients, ie, 117 with Bell's palsy, 14 Ramsay Hunt's syndrome, 15 traumatic palsy. Surgical decompressions performed 34 patients. Long-term follow-up studies indicated that electromyography was valuable for detecting minor incipient denervation. By collating these three electrodiagnostic results, accurate differentiation could...
Glucose fluctuations including robust postprandial hyperglycemia are a risk for promoting atherosclerosis and diabetic complications. The α-glucosidase inhibitors the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) have been found to effectively decrease independently. Therefore, glycemic control with combination of these drugs is warranted. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was performed 3 patients type 2 diabetes 1 subject from beginning end study. Medications were not administered any subjects on first...
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and glycated albumin (GA) are frequently used as glycemic control markers. These markers influenced by either altered metabolism or metabolism. We investigated the correlation between HbA1c GA collecting only data that had not been affected turnover of proposed a novel equation for accurately estimating extrapolated (eHbA1c) value based on value. Data sets total 2461 occasions were obtained from 731 patients (including non-diabetes patients) whose values...
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is classified as either autoimmune or idiopathic. Fulminant type was originally reported a subtype of idiopathic diabetes. Though involvement viral infections has been suggested triggering mechanism, its pathogenesis remains unknown. Here, we present case fulminant associated with significant elevation mumps titers. A 56-year-old Japanese man had suffered from nausea and generalized fatigue for two days before being transferred to our hospital in confused state....
Background. Several studies have suggested that the occurrence of severe hypoglycemia during sleep may be more dangerous for cardiac arrhythmia than in day-time.Methods. We performed a retrospective study between January 2006 and March 2012 to assess electrocardiograms patients with or without diabetes.Results. A total 59,602 who visited emergency room by ambulance were screened, 287 enrolled. The median blood glucose levels (DM, n = 192) diabetes (non-DM, 95) 30 45 mg/dL, respectively....
Recent studies have suggested that microvascular and macrovascular diseases are associated with coronary events.To test the hypothesis asymptomatic heart disease (CHD) may be present in many patients diabetes vascular complications.From April 2009 to August 2010, authors conducted a cross-sectional study assess prevalence of CHD among type 2 complications at national centre Japan. Eligibility criteria included no known one or more following four criteria: (1) proliferative diabetic...
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists can maintain good glycemic control in some diabetic. Here we compared the clinical characteristics and parameters reflecting glucose metabolism at time of initiation GLP-1 agonist therapy between patients who responded well to those did not.
