Introduction Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a prevalent complication of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with major impact on the health affected patient. We hypothesized that mediated by dysfunctionalities associated DN’s three components: sensitive (lack motion sensory), motor (impairments in movement coordination) and autonomic (the presence postural hypotension), DN may impair balance patients. Our study’s main aim to evaluate possible association between severity both impairment risk falls...
Background: Dementia and cognitive dysfunction have many causes. There is strong evidence that diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the risk of impairment dementia. Optimal glycemic control, identification diabetic factors, prophylactic approach are essential in prevention complications. Aims: The main purpose this study was to establish DM patients, cared for Diabetes Center from Timisoara. Also, we investigated prevalence dementia our group as well factors involved progression mild (MCI)...
Background and Objective: It is known that several viruses are involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) a new worldwide spread virus may act as trigger for autoimmune destruction β-cells, well, thus lead to an increase incidence Material Methods: The Romanian National Organization Protection Children Adolescents with Diabetes (ONROCAD) has collected information regarding cases diabetes children aged 0 14 years from all over...
Background/Purpose Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory that results in progressive airflow limitation and distress. Physiopathological features of COPD suggest people who suffer from this have many risk factors for falls been identified older individuals. The aim the study was to compare quantify functional balance between patients healthy subjects; investigate acute stages identify could lead falls. Methods We studied 46 with moderate-severe (29 stable 17...
Population aging is unprecedented, without parallel in the history of humanity. As type 2 diabetes mellitus predominantly more prevalent populations, this creates a major public health burden. Older adults with have highest rates lower-extremity amputation, myocardial infarction, visual impairment, and end-stage renal disease any age group. The aims our study were to assess whether an independent factor for occurrence diabetic neuropathy (DN), evaluate relationship between presence severity...
Evidence regarding the relation between SARS-CoV-2 mortality and underlying medical condition is scarce. We conducted an observational, retrospective study based on Romanian official data about location, age, gender comorbidities for COVID-19 fatalities. Our findings indicate that males, hypertension, diabetes, obesity chronic kidney disease were most frequent in fatalities, burden of was low, prognosis 1-year survival probability high sample. shows age-dependent pairs could be a negative...
Purpose: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are more susceptible to viral and bacterial infections, facing a severe prognosis higher mortality rates. The study's main aim was evaluate the survival rates of patients type 2 (T2DM) SARS-CoV-2 virus infection alongside factors influencing prognosis. Methods: present study included 186 T2DM admitted COVID-19 Department "Pius Brînzeu" Emergency Clinical County University Hospital between November 2020 March 2021. had investigations performed...
Background: Individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are more prone to experiencing severe cardiovascular (CV) events, often occurring at a younger age, due complex interplay of risk factors. T2DM diagnosis inherently classifies patients as belonging higher CV group. In light the increased susceptibility outcomes, our study aims assess distribution categories and attainment therapeutic targets among Romanian T2DM. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was performed, including...
Background/Purpose Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in severe forms, is commonly associated with multiple cognitive problems. Montreal Cognitive Assessment test (MoCA) used to detect impairment evaluating several areas: visuospatial, memory, attention and fluency. Our study aim was evaluate the impact of stable COPD exacerbation (AECOPD) phases on status using MoCA questionnaire. Methods We enrolled 39 patients (pts), smokers group D (30 9 AECOPD) 13 healthy subjects...
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™,...
Dyslipidaemia is a modifiable risk factor commonly associated with diabetes mellitus and prediabetes, major impact on the early development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Various studies have tried to identify key treatment targets, their optimal values according patients’ CV risk, most efficient yet safe therapeutic agents which, alongside lifestyle changes, would improve lipid levels reduce mortality morbidity. Currently, there are multiple pharmacologic options that can be...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in severe forms, is commonly associated with systemic inflammation and balance impairment. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact on equilibrium stable exacerbation (acute COPD [AECOPD]) phases investigate if there a connection between lower extremity muscle weakness inflammation.We enrolled 41 patients (22 19 AECOPD) 20 healthy subjects (control group), having no significant differences regarding anthropometric data. We...
Background End stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on replacement therapy (RRT) with diabetes mellitus (DM) have a higher mortality rate and an increase prevalence of vitamin D deficiency compared to those without DM. It is still debated if risk factor or prognostic marker for in these patients. This study investigated the its impact all-cause HD Methods Our prospective non-interventional cohort included 600 hemodialysis (HD) (median aged 56, interquartile range (19) years, 332 (55.3%)...
