Purpose: Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disease which has got many peptide hormones have in its etiology. Phoenixin (PNX), a recently discovered neuropeptide appears to have a role in energy management and metabolism through regulating insulin neogenesis and secretion, according to research. There is no research has been studied on the association between diabetes and PNX levels. The aim of the study was to see if there was a relation between PNX levels in the se...

Introduction: Acromegaly is a clinical syndrome associated with excess growth hormone. The present study aimed to investigate sarcopenia and frailty, which could affect mortality and morbidity, in patients with acromegaly.Method: Twenty outpatients diagnosed with acromegaly were included in the study. The hand muscle strength of the patients was measured by electronic hand dynamometer (Model EH101, Zhongshan Camry Electronic Co. Ltd. China). Computed tom...

A previously well 27-year old female presented with atraumatic foot pain to the orthopaedic service and was identified to have a healing subacute metatarsal stress fracture in the right foot. In view of the unusual presentation, the patient was referred to the metabolic bone clinic for further evaluation.On initial evaluation the patient reported no prior skeletal, joint or dental problems. However at the time of review she reported pain in her right thi...

Objective: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a metabolic disease characterized by liver steatosis. There is a correlation between liver steatosis and metabolic hormone dysregulation. Subfatin and asprosin are two important metabolic components of adipose tissue and play a role in carbohydrate metabolism, insulin resistance, and glucose regulation. Therefore, the primary aims of this study were to determine how serum and salivary subfatin and asprosin levels change simulta...

IntroductionThe prevalence and mortality of the new type of coronavirus (SARS Cov-2) are high in patients with metabolic disease, especially in diabetes circumstances. Therefore, this study aims to present the changes in the clinical and biochemical parameters of a patient with Type 1 diabetes who died due to Covid-19.Case Table 1. Laborat...

Purpose: Diabetes mellitus is a complicated disease that is associated with bone mineral density, depression, and anxiety in addition to its association with carbohydrate metabolism. The present study is intended to assess the biochemical measurements, depression and anxiety scores, and bone mineral densities (BMD) of diabetic patients with diabetic foot (DF) compared with those of diabetic patients without DF.Materials and methods: A total of 37 patient...
