Background and Aim: Diabetic neurogenic bladder (DNB) is a frequent complication affecting up to 45% of patients suffering from diabetes mellitus (DM). Our study aims to evaluate the impact of DNB on the quality of life (QoL) in this population.Patients and Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study involving 200 patients with DNB. Their QoL was assessed using the Ditrovie scale.Results: The mean age was 59.3±10.6...

Objective: to analyze the dietary and metabolic factors predictive of the occurrence of pancreatitis in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).Patients and Methods: Analytical case-control study of 31 T1DM patients separated into two subgroups: G1 (n=10): T1DM cases with pancreatitis. G2 (n=21): T1DM controls without pancreatitis.Results: The age at diagnosis of T1DM was comparable between the two groups. A...

Objective: To assess the predictive factors for the occurrence of urinary dysfunction (UD) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).Patients and Methods: Case-control study comparing two groups of patients suffering from DM: G1 (n=159) with UD vs G2 (n=41) without UD.Results: G1 patients were older than G2 patients (59.7±10.3 vs 58±12 years) with no significant difference in gender. The duration of diabetes w...

Objective: To determine the influence of metabolic disturbances associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) on the clinical manifestations of the diabetic neurogenic bladder (DNB).Patients and Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study comparing two groups of patients suffering from DM: G1 (n=159) with manifestations of DNB versus G2 (n=41) without signs of DNB.Results: G2 patients were younger than G1 patients (58±1...

Objective: To describe the etiological profile the outcomes of acute pancreatitis (AP) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM).Patients and Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of 10 T1DM patients who presented at least one episode of AP during their follow-up.Results: The mean age at diagnosis of T1DM was 19.7±9.3 years, with a female predominance (60%). T1DM was frequently inaugurated by a cardinal syndrome (50%) or spon...

Introduction: Addison disease is associated with high risk of fractures and low bone mineral density. Causes are complex, including supraphysiologic glucocorticoid replacement therapy and concomitant autoimmune disorders. The aim of our study is to assess the influence of glucorticoid replacement therapy on bone mineral density in patients with Addison disease.Patients and methods: Descriptive and analytical cross- sectional study including 50 patients w...

Background and Aims: The incidence of adrenal incidentaloma(AI) has been rising sharply due to the increased use of radiologic imaging. It shows evident variation with age, with the majority of the cases presenting in the 5th to 7th decade of life. This study aims to assess the prevalence of AI and its radiological features and hormonal profiles in the geriatric population.Patients and Method: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study including 177 ...
