Sedentary life is one of the main risk factors in diabetes type 2. Exercise and physical activities are very effective in prevention and treatment of diabetic patients. During exercise, muscles uptake more glucose from blood, insulin affects better and glucose is entered easily into the muscular cells. Diabetic Patients can use exercises in order to weight loss, blood glucose control, increasing body capabilities in insulin usage, decreasing body need to drug and insulin injec...

Objective: Nonfunctional adrenal masses are a risk indicator of increased cardiometabolic risk. Especially; increased thrombogenic ambient, insulin resistance, hepatosteatosis and abdominal obesity are determined in these patients with nonfunctional adrenal masses. Our purpose was to show the association of adrenal incidentalome and metabolic syndrome in consideration of the studies and to detect the increase in the carotid intima-media thickness which is regarded as the prece...

Introduction: Fahr’s disease is a rare, neurological disorder characterized by abnormal calcified deposits in basal ganglia. The clinical characteristics are various and usually appears such as disfunction of the affected areas. According to our knowledge, no case of Fahr’s disease together with pregnancy has been described in the literature until now. The objective of this case report was to describe the clinical course of this rare condition in pregnancy.<p cla...

Background: There is a strong association between type II diabetes mellitus (DM) and gaining weight. Lifestyle modification is an important factor for weight management to overcome the obesity as well as DM epidemics.Aim of study: To find the differences of eating habits and Rosenberg Self-Esteem between DM patients and control and to find the strongest contributor of risk factors by study groups.Methods: A hospital-based matched c...

Objectives: We aimed to stratify the possible risk factors for diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN).Methods: We did a metaanalysis of risk factors of CAN. We did a web based search for literature in MEDLINE/PubMed, SCOPUS database, and CENTRAL database up to August 2015. We included clinical trials or cohort studies that provide data about relationship between CAN and variables of interest. Our risk factors of interest were age, sex, duration of d...

Background: Cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) is associated with deterioration in clinical status. Lung function and nutritional status deteriorate up to 2–4 years before a diagnosis of CFRD based on the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Timely detection and treatment is crucial.Aims: To evaluate: i) adherence to CFRD screening guidelines and ii) whether identifying stages of progressive cystic fibrosis insulin deficiency (CFID) using the ex...

Introduction: Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a monogenic disease characterized by retinitis pigmentosa (>90%), obesity (72–86%), insulin resistant diabetes, and hypogonadism. Weight management is challenging due to frequent association of learning and visual impairment. At our BBS MDT clinic, dietetic review is provided at each visit. Dietetic input focuses primarily on reduced fat and sugar content in diet and exercise is encouraged. Individualised written dietary pl...

Background: The investigation of short stature includes evaluation of a number of clinical, radiological, and biochemical factors. This often includes dynamic function testing to rule out abnormalities of the hypothalamic–pituitary axis to rule out GH deficiency (GHD). NICE guidance advises that two GH stimulation tests demonstrating subnormal GH peak <6.7 μg/ml (20 mU/l) is required to confirm the diagnosis of GHD.Objectives: To interrogat...

Aims: To define and identify patients who have ‘failed’ parathyroidectomy by a single surgeon. To explore common features of these cases to refine our pathways.Methods: This case note review began with a retrospective audit of 123 patients having neck exploration from January 2009 to May 2014. The dataset of clinicopathological information obtained from the electronic Trust records, was interrogated to identify patients fulfilling the following...
