Diagnosis of central diabetes inspidus (CDI)requires a high index clinical suspicion especially in patients with traumatic brain injury or following neurosurgery. We would like to report rare case necrotising infundibulohypophysitis(NIH) young male CDI and discuss the radiological findings differential diagnosis.

We report a diagnosis of diabetes type 2 suggested by diffuse omental infiltration seen on computed tomography which resolved following treatment. There have been reports of increased macrophage infiltration in the omental fat of diabetic patients which we believe is identifiable by CT. To our knowledge, the diagnosis of diabetes with CT has not yet been reported. Diabetes type 2 is commonly a ...

OBJECTIVE Many studies of diabetes have examined risk factors at the time of diabetes diagnosis instead of considering the lifetime burden of adverse risk factor levels. We examined the 30-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor burden that participants have up to the time of diabetes diagnosis. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Among participants free of CVD, incident diabetes cases (fasting...

OBJECTIVE Diabetes is a risk factor for active tuberculosis (TB). The purpose of this paper was to estimate the risk of hospitalization for TB with and without a secondary diagnosis of diabetes in groups with different ethnic backgrounds. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We used the Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 1998 to 2011, identifying all patients with a primary diagnosis of TB and/or a seco...

Abstract Background Diagnosis of monogenic diabetes has important clinical implications for treatment and health expenditure. However, its prevalence remains to be specified in many countries, particularly from South Europe, North Africa Middle-East, where non-autoimmune young adults is increasing dramatically. Aims To identify cases Mediterranean countries assess the specificities between coun...

BACKGROUND Diabetes is a global public health issue. It is associated with significant disability, morbidity and mortality risks and substantial healthcare costs. Of great concern is the fact that its prevalence is rising, particularly amongst the young, while epidemiological data regarding the incidence, prevalence and complications of early-onset type 2 diabetes is noted to be sparse. METHO...

This review covers recent advances in optical sensors, which can continuously monitor glucose levels for point-of-care diagnosis of diabetes.

OBJECTIVE Mutations in the HNF1A gene are the most common cause of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). There is a substantial variation in the age at diabetes diagnosis, even within families where diabetes is caused by the same mutation. We investigated the hypothesis that common polygenic variants that predispose to type 2 diabetes might account for the difference in age at diagnosis....

OBJECTIVE To study trends in body mass index (BMI) at diagnosis of diabetes in all young Swedish adults in the age range of 15-34 years registered in a nation-based registry. DESIGN The BMI was assessed at diagnosis in diabetic patients 15-34 years of age at diagnosis, for a period of 17 years (1983-1999). Islet cell antibodies (ICA) were measured during three periods (1987-1988, 1992-1993 an...
