Introduction and objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of death in relation to hemodialysis.Material and methods: We performed a 10-month follow up study of hemodialysed patients attending our Center. A total of 97 patients were evaluated: 37 (38.1%) nephroangiosclerosis, 28 (28.9%) diabetic nephropathy, 18 (18.6%), and glomerulonephritis 14 (14.4%) other causes. Somatic sensory neuropathy (PN) was documented using the Neuropathy Dis...

Background and aim: We have sought to determine factors associated with age at death in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) investigated for peripheral arterial disease (PAOD).Materials and methods: There were n=167 T2DM, 140 with PAOD(G1-4) and n=27 Controls; patients were monitored from Jan-1997 till Dec-2006. CW-Doppler examination and segmental pressures showed: 35pts with crural PAOD (G1), 28 popliteocrural (G2), 36 femoropopliteal (G...

Introduction: The term female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is commonly used synonymously with female androgenetic alopecia. While the the role of androgens and androgen receptor genes is well-defined in male androgenetic alopecia (AGA-M), its role in in the pathogenesis of FPHL is stil uncertain. More diffuse involvement, resulting in an oval-shaped alopecia surrounded by a rim of normal hair density (Luduig’s classification) might be a clinical challenge. The aim of case rep...

Introduction: Acquired modifible long QT syndrome (LQTS) might be caused by hypocortisolism but also drug-induced. Unique genetic association between them is the background of both. The aim of this case report is to present the patient with Addison disease and LQTS not responding on increased dosage of hydrocortison susbstitution therapy.Case report: We report a female patient, 65 years old (1950y.). At the age of 34y. (1984y.) Morbus Addisoni was diagno...

Introduction: Rapid progression of atherosclerosis is classicaly described after e.g. percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or it is defined as an diameter reduction of a preexisting stenosis. However, both initiation and perpetuation mechanisms are rarely descibed in patients on supraphysiological dosages of glucocorticoids (GCs).Case report: We present male patient, 53-year old, after transsphenoidal operation of hypophysis pp. craniopharyngeo...

Introduction: Growth without growth hormone is seen also in patient with craniopharyngioma. We just speculate what anabolic factors might be involved in this process. However, oestrogen through its receptors lead to epiphyseal fusion. In this case report we would like to present the patient with bilateral slipped femoral epiphysis (SFE) and interventions made at tertiary health care level.Case report: 20-years-old female, operated from craniopharyngioma ...

Background: In the 2019 ESC Guidelines on diabetes, pre-diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, only retinopathy appears as a target organ damage as a parameter for stratification patients into very high-risk group. The aim of study was to check the strength of association between DN and isolated DR groups with cardiovascular complications.Methods: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was defined by eGFR ≤ 59 ml/min/1.73 m2 and proteinuria (P...

Introduction: The fact that up to 33% with type 2 diabetes develop hypogonadotropic hypogonadisms (HH), are still not catching enough attention. More futher ’’the 5-year mortality of somebody who has got diabetes, who has had a myocardial infarction is actually lower than the diabetic patient who has developed a diabetic foot ulcer, which is around 48%’’.Case description: We describe male patient, 47 y. (on 2016y), newly diagnosed...

Introduction and objectives: The aim of our study was to determine which characteristics of the uncontrolled diabetes are among randomly selected patients with type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 (T2DM) diabetes.Material and methods: A total of 194 diabetic patients were observed, 142 with T2DM and 52 with T1DM, recruted in outpatient clinic. Patients were divided into three groups according to HbA1c values: <7% (G1), 7–8% (G2) and >8% (G3). Statistica...

Background and aims: The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of neuropathy and nephropathy in patients with type 2 (T2DM) complicated by proliferate retinopathy (PDR) and coronary artery occlusive disease (CAOD) treated with stent or bypass surgery.Materials and methods: Comparisons were made between 22 patients with T2DM and bypass or stenting of coronary arteries with normal fundoscopic finding (G1) and 21 age matched controls without diabe...
