clinical challenges: myeloma and concomitant type 2 diabetes.

multiple myeloma is a malignant plasma cell disorder that accounts for approximately 10% of all hematologic cancers. it is characterized by accumulation of clonal plasma cells, predominantly in the bone marrow. the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing; therefore, it is expected that there will be an increase in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma with concomitant diabetes mellitus. the tre...

Inflammatory Cytokines and type 2 diabetes

Inflammatory cytokines increase in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome. This review focuses on inflammatory cytokines such as C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), and adiponectin, a cytokine produced by adipose tissue and associated with insulin sensitivity. Despite the major role of cytokines in the development of T2D, in the case of adiponectin still...

Late Breaking Science posters

Background: Endothelial cells (ECs) are plastic cells that switch between growth/senescence states: they divide and migrate upon proangiogenic stimulation and become senescence in response to various physiologic stresses. Cellular senescence is associated with cellular dysfunction and has been shown to occur in vivo in age-related cardiovascular diseases. Purpose: Adjusting endothelial metaboli...
