[Background] Frailty is a common syndrome among older adults and patients with several comorbidities. Grip strength (GS) is a representative parameter of frailty because it is a valid indicator of current and long-term physical conditions in the general population and patients with severe mental illnesses (SMIs). Physical and cognitive capacities of people with SMIs are usually impaired; however, their relationship with frailty or social functioning have not been studied to date. The current study aimed to determine if GS is a valid predictor of changes in cognitive performance and social functioning in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus and SMIs.
Genetic Variability in Selected ZnT8 SNPs in the Opolskie Voivodeship (Poland) - Relationship with Type 2 Diabetes and its Complications and Accompan…

Introduction: Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) is of multigeneous origin, and its course may be modified by autoimmune mechanisms. It can be assumed that the clinically different course of diabetes depends, among others, on the genetically determined efficiency of the mechanisms of zinc homeostasis maintenance. The study of the relationship of mutations in the gene encoding ZnT8 with the tendency to the occurrence of diabetes and its course may result in new therapeutic possibilities in the future. It is also interesting because in leukocytes only ZnT8 shows significant individual variability in expression under physiological and pathological conditions, which indicates its genetic determinan…
