PURPOSE To compare the levels of calcium and phosphorus in the aqueous humor and serum of diabetics and non-diabetics. METHODS We divided patients into two groups: seventy-six non-diabetic cataract patients and fifty-two diabetic cataract patients. The diabetic group was divided again into three subgroups: twenty-six patients with no diabetic retinopathy, thirteen patients with non-proliferat...

Kidney transplantation is the best therapeutic choice to improve survival and quality of life in patients with end-stage diabetic nephropathy. Long-term prognosis in diabetic patients who received kidney transplants, however, has not been delineated. We, therefore, studied patient and graft survival, graft function and cause of graft failure in 78 Type I diabetic kidney transplant recipients in...

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a stronger risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) and is associated with mortality and morbidity of cardiovascular disease. The in-hospital outcome in diabetic patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is less known. The aim of this study is to evaluate in-hospital outcome of acute STEMI in patients with diabetes mellitus. Method...

OBJECTIVE To determine the differences in the inflammatory status between diabetic and non-diabetic patients and to evaluate the usefulness of C reactive protein, fibrinogen, and leucocyte count as predictors of death in diabetic patients with unstable coronary disease. DESIGN Nested case-control comparisons of the inflammatory status between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Prospective co...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of starch supplementation and season (summer vs winter) on blood metabolites and certain minerals and hormones in alloxan-diabetic and normal nondiabetic rabbits. In both seasons,alloxan induced significant lowering of serum insulin level associated with significantly higher plasma glucose levels. Starch supplementation increased in...

Abstract Background and Aims Ever since their therapeutic introduction, SGLT2 inhibition class of medicaments did impress physicians related fields, nephrologists, internal medicine doctors, endocrinologists etc. Their natriuretic glucoretic effects besides lowering the plasma glucose does produce a important effect on intraglomerular pressure, this became an added value strong point to recomme...

BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) encompasses a cluster of coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus risk factors. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the factors underlying the clustering of MetS components in diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. METHODS Factor analysis was performed on 2978 (1652 non-diabetic and 1326 diabetic) participants. Entering waist circumference, homeostasi...

BACKGROUND Diabetic patients are more likely to develop kidney stones than the general population. The underlying mechanisms for this disparity remain to be elucidated. Little is known about the relationship between urine composition and diabetes mellitus in non-stone-forming individuals. We sought to examine the differences in the 24-hour (24-h) urine composition between diabetic and non-diabe...
