The relevance of carbohydrate metabolism studying in patients with Cushing disease (CD) and acromegaly can be explained by frequent occurrence of glucose metabolism disturbances on the one hand, and difficulties in glucose-lowering therapy in these patients on the other. The effectiveness of hyperglycaemia treatment may be reduced due to difficulties in remission/cure of the underlying disease, as well as to the use of specific drug-therapy, leading to hyperglycaemia. There is...

Introduction: Acromegaly is a chronic, debilitating disorder caused by excessive growth hormone (GH) production predominantly due to a benign pituitary adenoma. The overall annual incidence of acromegaly is approximately 3.3 cases/million, with a prevalence of 58–130 cases/million people. Early carbohydrate metabolism disorders (ECMDs) are frequently associated with acromegaly. ECMDs – defined as IFG, IGT or their combination – its prevalence in patients with ac...

Aim of the study: to assess the interaction between TSH and the most common geriatric syndromes in the cohort of centenarians Materials and Methods: It was a longitudinal study, including 82 centenarians (95 years and older), who live in Moscow. Complex geriatric assessment and blood tests were performed. Complex geriatric assessment included past medical history, FRAIL, IADL-C, MNA, GDS-15 and МOCA scores. We analyzed the interactions between TSH, m...

IntroductionMetformin and vildagliptin are the medications amongst first-line treatment options in type 2 diabetes patients. Few recent studies have explained positive pleotropic effects of metformin therapy by telomerase activation and telomeres length in leukocytes preservation. Knowing the primary role of insulin-signalling pathway in insulin resistance development and physiology of ageing, it is possible to suggest, that one of the protective mechani...
