The basal energy expenditure of female athletes vs. sedentary women as related to their family history of type 2 diabetes

2001

The purpose of this study was to investigate the basal metabolic rate (BMR) in 16 professional sportswomen (soccer players) versus 15 sedentary women, as related to the presence (FH+) or absence (FH-) of a family history of type 2 diabetes. The sportswomen, in toto, had a significantly higher BMR than expected from predictive equations (+14.92%). However, the difference was limited only to FH- sportswomen (+18.66%, p<0.0005). FH- sportswomen showed a significantly higher measured BMR than FH+ sportswomen (p<0.005), and FH+ (p=0.058) and than FH- (p<0.05) sedentary women. There were no other significant differences relative to physical, metabolic and plasmatic data between the groups. The sp…

Early administration of an immunomodulator and induction of remission in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus

1990

A clinical trial was undertaken to determine whether intensive thymopentin administration enhances remission of insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM) during the first year after diagnosis. Dosage with insulin was minimized with target control of blood glucose levels less than or equal to 7.8 mmol/l before meals. Remission was defined as a prolonged period after IDDM onset (not less than 3 months) characterized by a non-insulin-receiving (NIR) state in which target metabolic control was reached without administration of insulin and with a valid C-peptide response, evaluated after standard breakfast. Sixteen IDDM patients aged 12-31 years, recruited within 2 weeks of initiation of insulin therapy…

Main Problems of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 Patients in Keeping Diet

2015

A research has been carried out to assess the awareness of patients about the importance of diet, the availability of information and to make the diabetes patients with mellitus type 2 realize the urgency of dieting. The first part looks into theoretical sources and statistics about how widespread diabetes mellitus type 2 is and the importance of a healthy diet. The practical part of the research consists of the survey results. The method of quantitative research was applied. The conclusions and suggestions have been made based on the research results.

Wünsche, Sorgen und Bedürfnisse bezüglich der Insulinpumpentherapie im Alter: Ergebnisse einer Befragung bei Menschen mit Typ-1-Diabetes mellitus im …

2018

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Mehr als die Hälfte aller Menschen mit Diabetes in Deutschland ist älter als 65 Jahre. Für eine erfolgreiche Insulinpumpentherapie (Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion; CSII) im hohen Erwachsenenalter sind Wünsche, Sorgen und Erfahrungen älterer Menschen mit Typ-1-Diabetes, erlebte Barrieren und förderliche Bedingungen von zentraler Bedeutung. Methodik Ältere Menschen mit Typ-1-Diabetes, die sich mit einer CSII behandeln (n = 136), sowie Fachkräfte aus dem Diabetesbereich (Diabetes Health Care Professionals; HCP; n = 96) nahmen an einem Fragebogensurvey teil, in dem anhand zweier offener Fragen Wünsche, Sorgen und Erfahrungen älterer Menschen mit Typ-1-Diabe…

Texture analysis and optical anisotropy measurements of leukocytes for early diagnostics of diabetes mellitus

2004

DNA damage had been suggested to contribute to the pathogenesis of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). In this work we present a method for detection and discrimination of such DNA changes by means of analysis of light microscope images of anisotropically stained leukocytes nuclei. Several features of the images have been evaluated, including integrated optical density, degree of polarisation, and textural features. A genetic algorithm, coupled with a neural classifier, has been used to find the best features for identification of the pathology. Reported results indicate the best set is able to achieve an 83% correct classification ratio.

Prevalence and severity of anaemia in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy and different degrees of chronic renal insufficiency.

2007

&lt;i&gt;Background/Aim:&lt;/i&gt; Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the single most common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD); however its real impact on renal anaemia has not been established. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether onset, severity, and prevalence of anaemia during the course of CKD is different between type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic patients. &lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;/i&gt; We enrolled 281 patients with: (1) type 2 diabetes and no CKD (n = 75); (2) type 2 diabetes plus CKD (n = 106), and (3) CKD without type 2 diabetes (n = 100). According to K/DOQI guidelines, the patients with renal insufficiency (i.e., those with a glomerular filtration rate &lt;60 ml/min) were subgr…

HLA antigens and immunoresponsiveness to insulin in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

2008

HLA-A and B antigens were determined in 112 patient with insulin-dependent juvenile onset diabetes mellitus, who could be subdivided into “non” and “high responders” to insulin. The data revealed a trend of an association of these diabetes subgroups with only one of the diabetes-associated antigens HLA-B8 and HLA-BW15 and indicated the existence of at least two different genetic constellations for susceptibility to juvenile diabetes mellitus. One form with a strong immune-response to insulin seemed to be associated with HLA-BW 15 and the other form without humoral immunoreactivity to insulin seemed to be associated with the presence of HLA-B8 and the absence of HLA-B7.
