Diabetic gastroparesis (DG) is associated with high morbidity and is the most common precipitating factor to decompensation of carbohydrate metabolism. SGLT2 inhibitors are becoming a common and useful drug to treat type 2 diabetes. Principle treatment of gastroparesis considering the state of carbohydrate metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are very limited. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of dapagliflozin for management patients with DG. 16 ...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness acupuncture for the treatment of diabetic gastroparesis (DG). Acupuncture may improve gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with various disorders, but its efficacy in diabetic gastroparesis is unclear.Materials and methods: We have studied 23 subjects with type 2 DM with the duration of 14.2±3.1 years, with longstanding and uncontrolled carbohydrate metabolism (mean value of HbA<s...

Background and aims: Diabetic neuropathy is associated with impaired neuron myelination, nerve conduction, and muscle function. The pathogenic mechanisms of reduced myelination in diabetes mellitus are poorly understood. Peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) is glycoprotein with proposed roles in peripheral nerve myelin formation. This study allows us to consider the changes in the plasma levels of PMP22 in patients with and without diabetic neuropathy.Ma...

Introduction: The world medical community is strongly concentrated on the fight against infectious diseases, such as COVD-19, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB), but non-communicable diseases diabetes and complications “have relatively imperceptibly come to the fore in developing countries, becoming a global problem.” The common multimorbidity disorders are evidence to suggest that, TB and vitamin D deficiency in patients with type 2 diabetes leads to disease clustering,...

Introduction: The information on prognosis morbidity chronic autoimmune thyroiditis and relationship with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is lacking but endocrine involvement has been increasingly reported. The symptoms of thyroid’s dysfunction can be due to relationship after SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, the patients with COVID-19 leading to an increased risk of post COVID-19 complications of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. As such, post COVID-19 complications ...

A major cause of morbidity is post COVID-19 complications. The symptoms of carbohydrate dysfunction can be due to has relationship with coronavirus disease. In patients with chronic disorders after SARS-CoV-2 infection, aggravation of pre-existing symptoms has also been noticed. Diabetes insipidus (DI) may be at risk of dysnatraemia when developing respiratory complications of COVID-19. Particularly, the combination of two or more concurrent disorder is a major problem in pati...

IntroductionRecently, there has been an increasing number of reports about subacute thyroiditis (SAT) developing after COVID-19. SAT and transient gestational thyrotoxicosis constitute the majority of emerging thyrotoxicosis during pregnancy.Case reportA 27-year-old, 34-week pregnant women complained of pain in a very small area on the anterior side of her neck and fatigue. Thyroid function tests performed fo...

Introduction: The objective of the research was to determine the predictive value of the most probable etiopathogenetic factors contributing to the development and progression of gastric dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes. Only 5% of type 1 and 1% of type 2 diabetic combine the delay of gastric emptying (DGE) with typical gastroparesis symptoms. Systematic review of risk factors of development and progression symptoms of diabetic gastroparesis (DG). Results presented...
