Violenza contro le persone anziane
Abuse against elderly persons is extremely frequent, although very often is not declared, and entails high human and financial costs. There are on the whole three types of abuse including domestic, institutional, and auto inflicted. It is difficult to get enough information to define the real dimension of the problem, but data from the National Elder Abuse Incidence Study (NEAIS) describe an increasing and expanding phenomenon. The large proportions of this type of violence has lead the World Health Organization to propose strategies primarily focused on three points: Awareness, Education en Defence. An important role in the prevention and diagnosis of elderly abuse is in the hands of the p…

Role of magnesium in insulin action, diabetes and cardio-metabolic syndrome X
Magnesium (Mg) is one of the most abundant ions present in living cells and its plasma concentration is remarkably constant in healthy subjects. Plasma and intracellular Mg concentrations are tightly regulated by several factors. Among them, insulin seems to be one of the most important. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that insulin may modulate the shift of Mg from extracellular to intracellular space. Intracellular Mg concentration has also been shown to be effective in modulating insulin action (mainly oxidative glucose metabolism), offset calcium-related excitation-contraction coupling, and decrease smooth cell responsiveness to depolarizing stimuli. A poor intracellular M…

Age, homocysteine, and oxidative stress: Relation to hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus
Abstract OBJECTIVES: Hyperhomocysteinemia and oxidative stress are independent risk factors for cardiovascular events, which occur more frequently in old age. We evaluated these parameters in relation to age and the presence of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: Two hundred eighty-two subjects (female/male: 142/140; 141 were >65 years and 141 were <65 years; mean age 73.9 +/- 6.6 years and 52.5 +/- 8.2 years, respectively) were randomly recruited from those attending our institution. Blood pressure, anthropometric parameters, oxidative stress parameters (reactive oxygen species [ROS] and malondialdehyde [MDA]), and homocysteine levels were evaluated in participants. RESULTS…

MAGNESIUM METABOLISM IN INSULIN RESISTANCE, METABOLIC SYNDROME, AND TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS
Magnesium plays a key role in regulating insulin action, insulin-mediated glucose uptake, and vascular tone. Intracellular magnesium depletion may result in a defective tyrosine—kinase activity at the insulin receptor level, in a postreceptorial impairment in insulin action, and clinically in a worsening of insulin resistance. Intra- and extracellular alterations of magnesium metabolism have been identified in clinical states characterized by insulin resistance, such as metabolic syndrome, hypertension, altered glucose tolerance, type 2 diabetes, and aging. Several studies, from our and other’s groups, have confi rmed the clinical relevance of alterations of magnesium homeostasis in these c…
Cardiovascular risk factors in centenarians"
Several studies have shown that centenarians have better cardiovascular risk profiles compared to younger old people. Some reports have revealed that cardiovascular diseases (i.e. hypertension, diabetes, angina and/or myocardial infarction) are less common in centenarians respect to 70 and 80 years old persons. In order to explain this evidence, there is a growing number of hypothesis that consider a combination of genetic factors and lifestyle aspects to elucidate the exceptional longevity of centenarians, able to overcome the most frequent mortality cause, which is a cardiovascular event. It has been suggested that a role on this better cardiovascular risk profile may be played by the inc…
