Clinical profiles and quality of care of adults with type 1 diabetes according to their cardiovascular Risk: A Multicenter, Observational, retrospect…
2021
Abstract Aims The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recently defined cardiovascular risk classes for subjects with diabetes. Aim of this study was to explore the distribution of subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1D) by cardiovascular risk groups according to the ESC classification and to describe the quality indicators of care. Methods The study is based on data extracted from electronic medical records of patients treated at the 258 Italian diabetes centers participating in the AMD (Associazione Medici Diabetologi) Annals initiative. Patients with T1D were stratified by cardiovascular risk. Measures of intermediate outcomes, intensity/appropriateness of pharmacological treatment, and over…

Results after 13 years of kidney-pancreas transplantation in type 1 diabetic patients in Comunidad Valenciana
2021
INTRODUCTION Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplant is a proven option of treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and related end-stage renal disease, who are candidates for kidney transplantation. The results from the beginning of SPK transplant program in Comunidad Valenciana are presented. METHODS Descriptive, retrospective, and single-center study of the pancreas transplant performed at the Hospital Universitari i Politecnic La Fe, from September 2002 to December 2015. Clinical variables from donors and recipients, peri-operative variables, patient survival, and pancreatic graft survival were collected. RESULTS Eighty-one patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (48 ma…
Verbal and academic skills in children with early-onset type 1 diabetes
2010
Aim Basic verbal and academic skills can be adversely affected by early-onset diabetes, although these skills have been studied less than other cognitive functions. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of learning deficits in children with diabetes by assessing basic verbal and academic skills in children with early-onset diabetes and in comparison children. In addition, the incidence of dyslexia (≤10th centile in reading speed or reading–spelling accuracy) was studied. Method The performance of 51 children with early-onset diabetes (25 females, 26 males; mean age 9y 11mo, SD 4mo; range 9–10y) was compared with that of 92 children without diabetes (40 females, 52 males; mean age 9y 1…
Urinary MicroRNA Profiling Predicts the Development of Microalbuminuria in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes
2015
Microalbuminuria provides the earliest clinical marker of diabetic nephropathy among patients with Type 1 diabetes, yet it lacks sensitivity and specificity for early histological manifestations of disease. In recent years microRNAs have emerged as potential mediators in the pathogenesis of diabetes complications, suggesting a possible role in the diagnosis of early stage disease. We used quantiative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to evaluate the expression profile of 723 unique microRNAs in the normoalbuminuric urine of patients who did not develop nephropathy (n = 10) relative to patients who subsequently developed microalbuminuria (n = 17). Eighteen microRNAs were strongly associated w…
Detection of anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies in the serum of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
1996
Anti-myeloperoxidase (anti-MPO) antibodies were detected in 34 of 88 (38%) patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus but in only 3 of 55 (5.7%) healthy subjects and in 4 of 20 patients with autoimmune disease. Specificity of anti-MPO antibodies was assessed by MPO inhibition studies. No relationship was found between the occurrence of anti-MPO and anti-thyroperoxidase antibodies. Levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) were found to be higher in anti-MPO antibody-positive (n = 28, 508 +/- 126 ng/ml) than in anti-MPO antibody-negative (n = 58, 438 +/- 140 ng/ml: P < 0.05) patients. A state of chronic neutrophil activation has been described in diabetes mellitus. As anti-MPO…

Type 1 Diabetes and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease—The Genetic Link
2021
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) are the most frequent chronic autoimmune diseases worldwide. Several autoimmune endocrine and non-endocrine disorders tend to occur together. T1D and AITD often cluster in individuals and families, seen in the formation of autoimmune polyendocrinopathy (AP). The close relationship between these two diseases is largely explained by sharing a common genetic background. The HLA antigens DQ2 (DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201) and DQ8 (DQA1*0301-DQB1*0302), tightly linked with DR3 and DR4, are the major common genetic predisposition. Moreover, functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (or rare variants) of various genes, such as the cytotoxic T-lym…
Type 1 diabetes in an adolescent with social problems and mental disorders – case report
2021
W cukrzycy typu 1 przerwanie leczenia (insulinoterapii) prowadzi do cukrzycowej kwasicy ketonowej (DKA), będącej stanem bezpośredniego zagrożenia życia. Celem przedstawionego opisu przypadku jest zwrócenie uwagi na sytuację pacjentów z cukrzycą typu 1 i istotnymi problemami socjalnymi/psychicznymi, którzy ze względu na brak odpowiednich uregulowań prawnych „wypadają z systemu”, który mógłby zapewnić im odpowiednią opiekę warunkującą prawidłowe leczenie. Zaburzenia psychiczne i/lub problemy socjalne utrudniają lub uniemożliwiają prowadzenie samokontroli i leczenia. Pacjenci tacy stanowią istotne wyzwanie dla zespołu diabetologicznego i wymagają zindywidualizowanego postępowania ze strony sys…
Enhanced Lipid Peroxidation and Platelet Activation in the Early Phase of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
2003
Background— To investigate early events possibly related to the development of diabetic angiopathy, we examined whether 8-iso-prostaglandin F 2α (8-iso-PGF 2α ) formation, a marker of in vivo oxidant stress, is altered in different stages of type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and whether it correlates with the rate of thromboxane (TX) A 2 biosynthesis, a marker of in vivo platelet activation. We also investigated the relationship between inflammatory markers and F 2 -isoprostane formation in this setting. Methods and Results— A cross-sectional study was performed in 23 insulin-treated patients aged <18 years with new-onset T1DM (≤6 weeks, group A), matched for age and gender with 23 patients with s…
