PATHOGENESIS PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF TYPE 2 DIABETES AND ITS COMPLICATIONS

Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal cancers and women with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have even poorer survival from it. We assessed the prognosis of ovarian cancer in women with type 2 diabetes treated with metformin, other forms of antidiabetic medication, or statins.

This study aims to determine cancer risks among patients with type 2 diabetes through a follow-up study on a nationwide population-based cohort that included Taiwanese diabetic patients and general population in Taiwan as well as to estimate the population attributable fraction (PAF) of site-specifi[r]

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been suggested to increase the risk of cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk of common cancers in Chinese patients with T2DM. Our results indicate that Chinese patients with T2DM may have an increased risk of some cancers, and the increase may[r]

Assessment the plantar pressure and some nerve conduction index, ankle-brachial index in type 2 diabetes patients. Evaluation the relation between the plantar pressure, nerve conduction index, ankle-brachial index and characteristics in type 2 diabetes patients.

To summarize the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and risk of colorectal adenomas (CRA), we performed a meta-analysis of observational studies. Our results suggested that T2DM plays a risk role in the risk of developing CRA. Consequently, medical workers should increase the rate[r]

Non-alcoholic fatty liver is one of the most common comorbidities of diabetes. It can cause disturbance of glucose and lipid metabolism in the body, gradually develop into liver fibrosis, and even cause liver cirrhosis. Mangiferin has a variety of pharmacological activities, especially for the impro[r]

Obesity and diabetes are two risk factors for cancer. To evaluate the association of body mass index (BMI) with cancer risk in diabetic patients may improve current understanding of potential mechanisms.

Metformin is associated with a reduced risk of some cancers but its effect on prostate cancer is unclear. Some studies suggest only Asians derive this benefit. Therefore, we undertook a systematic review with particular attention to ethnicity.

Diabetes is a common metabolic disorder characterized by abnormally increased plasma glucose levels. Postprandial hyperglycemia plays an essential role in development of type 2 diabetes. Inhibitors of carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes such as α-amylase retard the liberation of glucose from dietary co[r]

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is one of the most lethal cancers, yet it remains understudied and poorly understood. Hyperinsulinemia has been reported to be a risk factor of pancreatic cancer, and the rapid rise of hyperinsulinemia associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes foreshadows a rise in cancer[r]

Whether rosiglitazone may affect the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) has not been investigated. The reimbursement databases of all Taiwanese diabetic patients from 1996 to 2009 were retrieved from the National Health Insurance. An entry date was set at 1 January 2006 and a total of 886418 pa[r]

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a common presentation of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) precipitated by various bacterial and viral infections. Dengue infection is no exception for this and can be a precipitating factor for DKA. The presentation of DKA with dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) has been r[r]

Human skin cutaneous melanoma is the most common and dangerous skin tumour, but its pathogenesis is still unclear. Although some progress has been made in genetic research, no molecular indicators related to the treatment and prognosis of melanoma have been found.

When you''ve finished studying this chapter, and completing the activities at its conclusion, you should be able to: Discuss and give examples of the concept of information overload, including causes, symptoms, and countermeasures; explai[r]

Microarray and data analyses
New ncRNA microarray platforms from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center that are not commercially available were used in this study. This array contains a collection of probes for various types of non-coding RNAs (18,669 probes[r]

The use of bone turnover markers has been investi- gated for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in ad- vanced cancer patients. Bone formation markers are direct or indirect products of osteoblast activity, whereas bone resorption markers are derived from the degrad- ation of<[r]

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been associated with diabetes and obesity, but a possible connection with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its potential interaction with hepatitis and cirrhosis are open to discussion.

Thus, the above-mentioned studies point to a rather strong clinical relevance of the members of the uPA- system in RCC, however, with some important limita- tions. Most of these data were obtained using tissue samples originating from different RCC subtypes, incon- sistent cohor[r]

Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is an indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and represents the most common primary malignancy of the spleen. Its precise molecular pathogenesis is still unknown and specific molecular markers for diagnosis or possible targets for causal therapies are lacking.
