Prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Sukkur region

Four thousand three hundred sixty six [4366] blood samples from diverse individuals [males and females] of varying age groups were taken to screen out their glucose levels in fasting and random status. These individuals belonged to Sukkur region. Approximately 31% of the cases [both males and females] studied were found 16 have active diabetes, i.e., raised blood glucose level of individuals, whereas 8% of the cases studied were considered as at "diabetic risk group". It was interesting to find out that age groups 30 and above were the major victims of diabetes mellitus. It was also observed that individuals hesitated to talk about their personal life, socioeconomic conditions, job-status, ancestral ailments, tension, anxiety etc. Some individuals opted for either fasting, postprandial or random glucose level, or both fasting and random blood glucose screening. Hence these hindrances made the task more difficult to find out the exact cause[s] and triggering factors of diabetes. It was also noted that there is a growing awareness of "diabetes" in both males and females by showing great interest for screening their blood glucose levels

Diabetes mellitus A chronic metabolic disordar

Diabetes Mellitus, the most common serious metabolic disease, is produced by an insufficiency of insulin and an excess of glucagon relative to the needs of the patient. Diabetes Mellitus has become a major global public health problem. The incidence and prevalence of diabetes is escalating all over the world, especially in developing and industrialized nations. It is becoming a global epidemic and more increase in its incidence is expected in developing countries. The extreme variation in prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus results from a combination of differences in genetic susceptibility to NIDDM [non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus] and its inter-action with behavioural, environmental, degree of modernization, and social risk factors such as change in diet, overall obesity, central obesity and physical inactivity. The double impact of morbidity and mortality is specially related to diabetes and its micro vascular complications, as well as the contribution of abnormal glucose tolerance to the etiology of cardiovascular disease must be anticipated in most populations. Healthy lifestyle practices such as exercise, appropriate nutrition, maintenance of ideal body weight, smoking control and reduced alcohol consumption seem to be major preventive measures suggested at the communities level to reduce the burden of NIDDM and other non-communicable diseases

Urolithiasis formation of stone in kidney or at any level of urinary tract

Stones may form at any level in the urinary tract, but mostly in the kidney. Males are affected somewhat more than females. About 80% patients of kidney stones possess unilateral type. The most favourable sites for their formation are the renal calcyces and pelvis. In gout stone contains more uric acid as sodium salt. Stones are of importance when they obstruct urinary flow. Smaller stones are more hazardous, since they may pass into the ureters producing pain and obstruction. Different types of stones may possess different chemical composition. Calcium-oxalate type of stone is predominant and found commonly. In children, and in both sexes, the stone incidence peaked between 1-3 years, while in adults over the age of 30
