Introduction: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transition from premixed and intensive insulin to twice-daily insulin degludec/aspart (IDegAsp) co-formulation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Material and methods: In this 12-week study, patients receiving twice-daily premixed insulin therapy in Group 1 (n = 55) were switched to twice-daily IDegAsp. In Group 2 (n = 60), patients on intensive insulin therapy were switched to IDegAsp injected twice a day. Inter-and intragroup comparisons were made. Results: A total of 115 patients were included in the study. There was a significant improvement in glycaemic control, median daily total insulin dose, body mass, body mass index, and hypoglycaemic events in Group 1 and Group 2 with the switch to IDegAsp (p < 0.05). The decrease in median daily total insulin dose requirement in Group 2 was higher than that of Group 1 (p = 0.001). There was no difference between groups in terms of other parameters (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The current analysis indicates that IDegAsp treatment improves outcomes, with the most notable differences observed in daily total insulin requirement, body mass, and hypoglycaemia.
M etformin is the classical first-line treatment to provide glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, metformin alone may usually not sustain glycemic control for a long time [1], and additional treatments are needed in most patients [2]. Although they seem to be effective at first, sulfony-lureas and oral hypoglycemic agents are difficult to tolerate due to the side effects [3]. Therefore, patients with T2DM need effective and well-tolerated new antidiabetic agents that can be used in combination with available treatments to improve glycemic control, especially without an additional risk of hypoglycemia and weight gain.
Gluteal compartment syndrome is a rare reason of rhabdomyolysis resulting from atraumatic origin, and leading to renal failure. Beside to other atraumatic causes like drug abuse, alcohol intoxication, and antihyperlipidemic medications prolonged operation duration in a fixed position is an important cause of this syndrome. Male sex, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and obesity are risk factors for gluteal compartment syndrome associated kidney failure. We report a 56 year old obese patient with a medical history of diabetes mellitus, and hypertension who undergo a nephrectomy operation resulting with gluteal compartment syndrome, and chronic kidney disease. We also highlight the importance of preventive cares and early recognition of gluteal compartment syndrome to avoid further morbidity
Objective: To determine the relationship between the positivity of third-generation TSH receptor antibody (TRAb) at the time of diagnosis and the cumulative methimazole dose used until remission in patients with Graves' disease.
There is no effective treatment for the Covid-19 disease that is still impacting the whole world. It considered that vaccines, one of the effective means to prevent infectious diseases, will play a significant role in protecting from the Covid-19 Disease. Vaccinations generals performed before exposure. We aimed to follow the clinical and laboratory progress of patients who got Covid-19 after the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine and to evaluate the changes that may occur in antibody formation. 13 patients, who received the first dose of COVID 19 vaccine Coronovac as of 14.01.2021 when vaccination started in Adıyaman University Training and Research Hospital/Turkey, who had symptoms after the vaccine and whose real-time PCR found to be positive, were included in the study. After the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, 13 patients exam. Three of our patients were female, and 10 of them were male. The average age was 38.8. British variant detected in 4 of our patients; 1 of them was female. Contact times differed between 3 and 5 days. The most common symptoms were muscle-joint pain (53.8), weakness-fatigue (46.2), fever (38.5), and headache (30.8). Three of our patients, being one female, received inpatient treatment. Furthermore, our five patients who checked regarding Sars cov-2 IgG became positive in the first month. No adverse changes in the course of the illness observed in the patients were RT-PCR positive after the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Antibody response detected at the end of the first month. Vaccination is an effective method for taking infectious diseases under control but adhering to personal protective measures still maintains their importance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
