Introduction: Chronic heart failure (cHF) is an often and unrecognized cause of mortality among people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), more often in elderly. Assessment of cHF comprises of a combination of clinical symptoms, echocardiography and a biomarker N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide. It is underestimated and not treated timely. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are treatment of choice for subjects with T2D and cHF, frequently not initiated in elderl...

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease characterised by reduction of the bone mass density and deterioration of architecture of the bone and its strength. Continuous process of modeling and remodeling of bones is regulated by action of numerous circulating hormones. Fracture risk makes osteoporosis clinically important disease.Goal of this study was to examine thyroid dysbalance, parathormone secretion disorder as risk factors for osteoporosis...

Osteoporosis is a chronic noninfectious disease, which changes the structure and mineral density of bones, causing fractures after small trauma, deformities and disability. Every minute two breakages happen, due to osteoporosis. Thyroid gland disfunction could disturb the bone remodelling process.The aim of this study is to check the bone quality in females suffering from thyroid diseases. This prospective study included 164 women of the average age of 7...

The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of thyroid and parathyroid glands dysphunction to the arterial hypertension ethiology in elderly patients suffering from hronic renal failure.In 34 patients, average age of 67 years (range: 65–68), with glomerular filtration rate (GFR, 99mTcDTPA) <60 ml/min, as well as the creatinine clearence (Cockcroft) values between 60 and 30 ml/min, thyroid gland function was analys...

Introduction: Low concentration of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHvitD) have been associated with low bone loss and risk of falls in postmenopausal women. Moderate obesity is not a risk factor for osteoporosis.Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate how vitamin D concentration correlates with muscle strength and bone density in moderately obese postmenopausal women.Methods: We include 33 postmenopausal women, between 50 and ...
