background: gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is the most common metabolic complications of pregnancy and causes fetal mortality and morbidity. therefore early diagnosis of gdm is necessary to reduce maternal and fetal morbidity and to help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes objective: this prospective study was carried out to determine the incidence of gdm in yazd and to assess th...

objective: this study aimed to evaluate the correlation between plasma lipid levels at first trimester of pregnancy and results of oral glucose challenge test (ogct). materials and methods:  in a cross - sectional descriptive analytic study, two hundred eligible primigravida women without history of diabetes mellitus referring to vali-e-asr hospital were evaluated. plasma levels of triglyceride...

abstract objective: the aim of this study was evaluating the relationship between maternal serum lipid measured at 13-23 weeks of pregnancy and subsequent glucose intolerance. materials and methods: in a prospective study, 624 pregnant women prior to 23 weeks were eligible for the study. primarily, serum levels of total cholesterol, ldl cholesterol, hdl cholesterol, and triglyceride were measur...

gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is the most common metabolic disorder during pregnancy which is associated with 3 to 4 folds of increase in the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity, if it is not diagnosed early (1). gestational diabetes occurs from 1% to 14%, and 90% of pregnancy-related diabetes has been related to gestational diabetes (2). glucose challenge test (gct) and glucose toleranc...

objective: to evaluate the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) and its risk factors in tehran. materials and methods: from march 2002 to october 2004, screening for gdm was performed on 1804 women in tehran. all pregnant women were referred for a 50 g oral glucose challenge test (ogct) between 24th and 28th week of gestation. all subjects with an abnormal gct (blood glucose level ...

BACKGROUND Pregnant women commonly receive screening for gestational diabetes mellitus by use of a 50 g glucose challenge test, followed by a diagnostic oral glucose tolerance test for those whose glucose challenge test result is abnormal. Although women with gestational diabetes have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, it is not known whether mild glucose intolerance during pregnancy ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the applicability of the 50-g glucose challenge test as a screening test for gestational diabetes mellitus in relation to pregnancy outcomes. METHODS A prospective study was conducted on 818 Saudi pregnant females who were randomly recruited from the Antenatal Clinics at King Abdulaziz University Hospital and New Jeddah Clinic Hospital, Jeddah. All females underwent a 5...

The American Diabetes Association has strongly recommended that fasting plasma glucose should be sufficient for establishing diagnosis of diabetes mellitus; while World Health Organization supports to maintain the oral glucose tolerance test. Several epidemiological studies confirmed that postprandial hyperglycemia is a significant predictor for cardiovascular mortality and incidence. Post-chal...

ige- mediated food allergy affects 6-8% of children. our study aimed to define the correlations between the results obtained with skin prick tests (spts) using commercial extracts and fresh foods, and the correlations between these result and those obtained with specific ige (sige) and/ or challenge. children aged from 2 months to 6 years were recruited prospectively. overall 571 children were ...
