Objectives. This study aimed to explore the expression of GLP-1 receptor in hypothalamus and gastrointestinal tissues after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery in diabetic rats. Methods. Male 12-week-old Wistar rats (control) and Goto-Kakizaki rats (diabetic) were randomly divided into two groups, respectively: control sham surgery group (C), control RYGB group (C + R), diabetic sham surger...

Background & Objective:  Wound dressing and healing in diabetic patients is encountered with many problems. This study aims to investigate the effect of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) on the survival of random skin flap (RSF) on Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (STZ) using an optical microscope. Materials & Methods:  In this study, 60 male Albino Wistar rats were used...

Patients with diabetes mellitus who undergo cataract surgery can be prone for macular edema post-operatively.Aimof this study wasto compare thickness in diabetics and non-diabetics, pre post using SD-OCT. A Cohort of 50 diabetic non-diabetic patients presented to ophthalmology out patient department, aged 50–70 years underwent assessment SD–OCT surgery. The showed a steady increase time non-dia...

The course of diabetic retinopathy following cataract extraction was studied retrospectively in 89 patients (89 eyes). Cataract extraction was extracapsular in 12 eyes (13.5%), extracapsular with intraocular lens implantation in 37 (41.6%), and intracapsular in 40 (45%). In 55 eyes (61.8%) there was no change in the retinal status after surgery, and in 34 (38.2%) there was progression of diabet...

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has gained pandemic proportions becoming a global threat within the last few decades. In parallel to the increasing prevalence, healthcare costs have become a huge economic burden for the hospital and governments. Bariatric surgery has been proven to induce glycemic control in obese type 2 diabetics. However, the cost effectiveness of metabolic surgery...

OBJECTIVE Previous attempts to achieve tight glucose control in surgical patients were associated with a significant incidence of hypoglycemia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative glucose and insulin administration while maintaining normoglycemia using a hyperinsulinemic-normoglycemic clamp technique. METHODS We studied 70 non-diabetic and 40 diabetic patie...

Background: Cholecystectomy is one of the most common abdominal surgeries and its preferred method is laparoscopy. The difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in diabetic patients is not clear and the preferred method of cholecystectomy in these patients is still under controversy. Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in diabetic and ...

AIMS To examine whether the colour vision abnormalities found in phakic patients with diabetes mellitus is preserved after removal of the lens by cataract surgery. METHODS 21 diabetic (16 IDDM and five NIDDM) and 19 non-diabetic patients of comparable age, postoperative visual acuity, and sex distribution, all aphakic or pseudophakic following cataract surgery, had their monocular colour visi...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate functional impairment in the corneal endothelium of eyes in patients with diabetes mellitus, after small-incision cataract surgery. METHODS Evaluation was performed in 93 eyes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (diabetic group) and 93 eyes in patients without diabetic mellitus (nondiabetic group) who underwent cataract surgery. Using a topography system, the corne...

BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is widely applied to ameliorate morbid obesity, including diabetes in people with type 2 diabetes. The latter vanish a few days after surgery for many, but not in all patients before any weight reduction has occurred. The explanation for this change in metabolic status is poorly understood, but the observation may suggest that the fate obesity and dia...
