A Real-World Study of Dexamethasone Implant in Treatment-Naïve Patients with Diabetic Macular Edema: Efficacy and Correlation Between Inflammatory Bi…
2020
Purpose There has been an increasing clinical interest in specific retinal parameters as non-invasive biomarkers of retinal inflammation in diabetic macular edema (DME) that have been shown to have prognostic value, such as hyperreflective retinal fields (HRFs) and subfoveal neuroretinal detachment (SND). Methods We conducted a prospective, non-comparative study of treatment-naive patients with DME to evaluate the efficacy of a Pro Re Nata (PRN) regimen of intravitreal dexamethasone implant 0.7 mg (DexI, Ozurdex™). After administration, patients underwent subsequent injections according to PRN criteria in case of edema relapse, but not earlier than 4 months after the previous treatment. Pat…
Managing Peripheral Artery Disease in Diabetic Patients: A Questionnaire Survey from Vascular Centers of the Mediterranean Federation for the Advanci…
2020
Background The Mediterranean Federation for the Advancing of Vascular Surgery (MeFAVS) was founded on October 1, 2018, to enhance cooperation among vascular professionals within Mediterranean countries. Due to its prominent social and economic impact on national health systems, diabetic arteriopathy has been selected as the very first topic to be investigated by the federation. Methods MeFAVS members were asked to reply to a questionnaire on the management of diabetic ischemic foot. Results were collected and analyzed statistically. The questionnaire consisted of 15 multiple choice answers regarding diabetic foot (DF) diagnosis and treatment. The questionnaire was submitted to 21 centers on…
The impact of Nordic walking on bone properties in postmenopausal women with pre-diabetes and non-alcohol fatty liver disease
2021
This study investigated the impact of Nordic walking on bone properties in postmenopausal women with pre-diabetes and non-alcohol fatty liver disease (NAFLD). A total of 63 eligible women randomly participated in the Nordic walking training (AEx, n = 33), or maintained their daily lifestyle (Con, n = 30) during intervention. Bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) of whole body (WB), total femur (TF), femoral neck (FN), and lumbar spine (L2-4) were assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Serum osteocalcin, pentosidine, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) levels were analyzed by ELISA assay. After an 8.6-month intervention, the AEx group maintained their BM…
GLP-1 receptor agonists and renal outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and diabetic kidney disease: state of the art
2022
ABSTRACT Background Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are highly effective in improving glycaemic control either as monotherapy or in combination with other hypoglycaemic drugs, and have low incidence of side effects, such as hypoglycaemia, nausea and weight gain, thus increasing patients' adherence to therapy. Methods In this review we report the most recent studies demonstrating the beneficial effects of GLP-1RAs on renal outcomes, and also discuss the direct and indirect mechanisms through which they confer kidney protection. Finally, we discuss the metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects of GLP-1RAs in diabetic patients with COVID-19 disease. Results GLP-1RAs have a n…

TÍTULO ESPESOR COROIDEO Y MORFOLOGÍA ANALIZADO POR TOMOGRAFÍA DE COHERENCIA ÓPTICA COMO MÉTODO PARA ABORDAR LA PROGNOSIS Y LA PROGRESIÓN DE LA ENFERMEDAD OCULAR DIABÉTICA INTRODUCCIÓN La evidencia clínica in vivo de coroidopatía diabética (DC) ha sido difícil de demostrar clínicamente debido a la falta de medios para visualizar la coroides. Los avances de la tecnología de la tomografía de coherencia óptica (OCT) permitieron la visualización in vivo de la coroides. Los resultados controvertidos en la Diabetes para el grosor coroideo (CT) y la falta de identificación de los cambios morfológicos hacen que la DC identificada con OCT aún no se conozca. PROPÓSITO Evaluar si la medición por CT sol…

Comparative analysis of socioeconomic, behavioral and biological factors between healthy patients and patients with newly diagnosed diabetes in the L…
2020
Introduction. The most effective way to prevent a dramatic increase in the number of diabetic patients lies in early detection of its risk factors and the diagnosis of carbohydrate metabolism disorders. Aim of the study. The study aims at determining socio-economic variables, lifestyle behaviours and biological factors differentiating patients with newly diagnosed diabetes from the diabetes-free individuals according to the American criteria issued by the Commission on Social Determinants of Health as well as FINDRISC form which helps identify patients who are at risk of developing diabetes type 2 on the basis of multi-factorial determinants of its development. Material and methods. The res…
