Two male siblings with transient diabetes mellitus were of normal birth weight, were asymptomatic, and did not require treatment with insulin. This may be a previously undescribed disorder or part of the range of transient diabetes mellitus of infancy.

The prevalence of diabetes is increasing globally and the total number of people with this condition is projected to rise from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million in 2030 (Wild et al, 2004). India is no exception, with projected rates of 79.4 million in 2030—a 151% increase from 31.7 million in 2000 (Wild et al, 2004). The increased prevalence is attributed to the aging population structure, urb...

BACKGROUND Cold-induced thermogenesis is known to improve insulin sensitivity, which may become increasingly relevant in the face of global warming. The aim of this study was to examine the relation between outdoor air temperature and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus. METHODS We identified all births in the Greater Toronto Area from 2002 to 2014 using administrative health databases....

OBJECTIVES The study was undertaken to assess the selected carbohydrate parameters in children exposed to gestational diabetes in utero. METHODS 50 children exposed to gestational diabetes were compared with 46 control subjects. Anthropometric parameters of a newborn were obtained from the medical records. In all participants height, body mass, waist and hip circumferences were measured; BMI,...

In pregnant women, urinary tract infection (UTI) one the most common bacterial infections can be found. The worsened by it was shown risk UTI in women with (27.6%) higher than those without (3%-10.1%). This study aimed to present case gestational and infection.

Introduction and Aim: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) involves insulin resistance, altered levels of adipocytokines inflammation. Interaction various molecules in the pathogenesis obesity resistance plays a major role GDM. Angiopoietin-like protein 8, also named betatrophin is hormone which synthesized from liver adipocytes. This molecule has beta cell-regenerating effect proposed to have t...

abstract background: gestational diabetes is the second common disorder in pregnancy period, which is detected in 24-28 weeks of gestational age through screening tests in low-risk women. the women with gestational diabetes are prone to prenatal mortality and development of future diabetes. therefore, detection of these individuals in the fi rst trimester and conducting preventive interventions...

Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), which includes both gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, is a common and morbid pregnancy complication for which the pathogenesis remains unclear. Emerging evidence suggests that insulin resistance, which has been linked to essential hypertension, may play a role in PIH. Conditions associated with increased insulin resistance, including gestational di...

AIM Women diagnosed to have Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) are at increased risk of developing diabetes in future. Thus, diagnosis of GDM is an important public health issue. In a random survey 16.2% of pregnant women were found to have GDM in the Chennai urban population. Hence we undertook a planned community based study to ascertain the prevalence of GDM. MATERIALS AND METHODS We cond...
