Transient neonatal diabetes mellitus with subtype ZFP57 genetic defect in 6q24

Neonatal diabetes (NDM) is a rare form of diabetes that manifests in the first few months of an infant's life. The condition affects approximately one in 300,000 to 400,000 newborns and is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. Transient and permanent NDM are the two types of this disease. In most cases of transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM), the genetic cause has been attributed to the overexpression of chromosome 6q24. Regardless of its underlying cause, the primary treatment for neonatal diabetes is insulin therapy.

Glycated Albumin Levels in Relation to Dental Caries, Mutants Streptococci Lactobacilli and Salivary Status of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Background Diabetes mellitus is one of the serious systemic diseases that may cause general systemic changes, which may be reflected in the oral cavity. The aims of this study were to assess the severity of dental caries, Mutans Streptococci and Lactobacilli in addition to the flow rate and pH among uncontrolled and controlled type 2 diabetic groups in comparison with non-diabetic control group. Materials and Methods Study groups consisted of 25 uncontrolled diabetic patients (HbA1c >7), 25 controlled diabetic patients (HbA1c <7), in addition to 25 nondiabetic healthy looking individuals. Their age was (18–22) years from both genders. The diagnosis and recording of dental caries were according to the severity of dental caries lesion through the application of D1_4MFS and stimulated salivary samples were collected. The salivary flow rate and pH were estimated. Viable count of Mutans streptococci (on Mitis-Salivarius Bacitracin Agar) and Lactobacilli (on Rogosa) was determined. Results The mean values of caries severity were recorded to be highest among study groups compared to the control with statistically highly significant difference (p<0.01). Lowest values of salivary pH and flow rate were among study groups compared to the control with highly significant difference (p<0.01). Concerning Mutans Streptococci and Lactobacilli were found that the mean values of them for uncontrolled diabetic group were highly significant higher than both mean values of controlled diabetic group and control group. Conclusion Dental caries revealed higher percentage of occurrence and severity among uncontrolled diabetic group. Furthermore, there was significant influence of the diabetic and the poor metabolic control on the salivary flow rat, pH, Mutans streptococci and Lactobacilli that have an effect on caries occurrence and severity.

Introduction: Atherosclerosis is a complex multifactorial disease of multiple processes and factors that could be either enviromental or genetics. Diabetic patients with myocardial infarction have a bigger risk of mor tality. Material and methods: It was carried out a retrospective and descriptive study in 229 patients who came out from intensive therapy with myocardial infarction diagnosis during the period 2002-2004. Records were analyzed to characterize people who suffered from heart attacks either diabetic or not according to the behaviour of the risk factors. Their clinical records were also checked. Results: Masculine sex prevailed in the non diabetic group of patients with 65,3%, however, femenine sex prevailed among diabetic patients in both types:1 and 2 with 60% and 79,4% respectively. The group of patients over 60 years old was the most affected, corresponding 55,13% to diabetic type 2. From this sample of patients with myocardial infarction diagnosis a 79,4% of the smokers group were not diabetics but there was a 90% of diabetics type 1 and a 78,3% of smokers who were diabetic type 2. There was 80% of diabetic patients with high blood pressure(130/85) and 84,6% of diabetics type 2 had three or more risk factors for infarction. Permanency in the hospital of diabetic type 2 patients was over 11 days in the 74,1% of the cases.( from 11 to 19 days 24,1% and 20 days or more 50%). Non diabetics stayed at the hospital less than 10 days in a 35,8% of the cases. Conclusions: Female sex and age group over 60 years prevailed among the most affected. Hypertension and smoking habit were the most predominant risk factors in patients with myocardial infarction.

Marcadores clínicos e bioquímicos de gravidade do diabetes mellitus gestacional / Clinical and biochemical markers of gravity of gestational diabetes mellitus

O diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG) é uma patologia da segunda metade da gestação caracterizada por uma insulinorresistência que está intimamente relacionada ao resultado perinatal adverso e se não diagnosticada e tratada pode trazer sérios problemas tanto para a mãe quanto para o feto. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre marcadores clínicos e bioquímicos de gravidade do DMG. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO e Cochrane. Foram selecionados 50 artigos, mas apenas 25 tiveram relevância para serem discutidos nesta revisão. Após análise pôde-se concluir que com os novos critérios-diagnósticos e um aumento na incidência dessa patologia é de grande valia identificar marcadores clínicos e bioquímicos que estão relacionados aos resultados perinatais adversos e à necessidade de tratamento complementar à dieta

The gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a second half of pregnancy disease characterized by insulin resistance that is closely related to perinatal outcome and if undiagnosed and untreated can cause serious problems for both mother and fetus. The objective of this study was to review the literature on clinical and biochemical markers of GDM severity. This is a literature review in PubMed, SciELO and Cochrane. Fifty articles were selected, but only 25 were relevant to be discussed in this review. After their analysis it was concluded that with the new diagnostic criteria and an increased incidence of this pathology is of great value to identify clinical and laboratory markers that are related to adverse perinatal outcomes and the need to supplement the diet treatment

Sleep quality in type 2 diabetics / Calidad del sueño en diabéticos tipo 2 / Qualidade do sono em diabéticos do tipo 2

Sleeping disorders in type 2 diabetic patients constitute risk factors for aggravating diabetes since they can affect the metabolic control through insulin resistance syndrome. This was an observational, cross-sectional study. The majority (52 percent) of subjects had scores indicating poor sleep quality. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores showed patients with a time after diagnosis over 10 years and hypertension had the poorest sleep quality. For those with hemoglobin A1c > 7 percent taking sleeping medicines and those who had normal body mass index (BMI), the sleep quality was even poorer. The findings of the present study reinforce the relevance of this topic since there are no specific tools for sleep evaluation of type 2 diabetics making it difficult to make any assertions on the sleep quality of these patients.

Los disturbios del sueño en diabéticos del tipo 2, constituyen factores de riesgo para el agravamiento de la diabetes, pues pueden interferir en el control metabólico a través del síndrome de la resistencia a la insulina. El estudio fue del tipo observacional-transversal. La calidad del sueño fue investigada en 50 diabéticos del tipo 2, a quienes se aplicó el Índice de Calidad del Sueño de Pittsburgh (PSQI). La mayoría (52 por ciento) presentó puntuaciones del PSQI, que indican calidad del sueño mala. Aquellos con tiempo de diagnóstico superior a 10 años y con hipertensión poseían peor calidad del sueño. Para aquellos con valores de Hemoglobina A1c > 7 por ciento, que usaban medicamentos para dormir y los que presentaron IMC normal, la calidad del sueño se mostró peor. Lo encontrado en esta investigación refuerza la relevancia de la temática, ya que no existen instrumentos específicos para evaluar el sueño del diabético del tipo 2, dificultando afirmaciones sobre la calidad del sueño del diabético.
