Abstract

Introduction: Today, diabetes is considered a factor that provokes the development of bile duct disease. Cholelithiasis is associated with such risk factors as aging, high body mass index, female sex, genetic predisposition, alcohol abuse, high concentration of triglycerides and cholesterol, low density lipoprotein in blood plasma The aim of the work is to analyze the clinical and laboratory features of the pathology of the gall bladder in patients with type 2 diabetes, depending on the sex. Materials and methods: Complex examination of 126 patients with cholelithiasis and type 2 diabetes mellitus was performed. Diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis was verified on the basis of clinical data, characteristic changes of the wall of the gallbladder according to the data of the echography. In the presence of concretions in the lumen of the gall bladder, bile marijuana was diagnosed. The verification of the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus was based on the determination of carbohydrate balance and glycosylated hemoglobin levels. Results: Among the examined patients there were 88 women (69,8%) and 38 men (30,2%). The average age of patients was 61,9 ± 0,9 years. The main complaints revealed in patients with combined pathology were: genera...Continue Reading

Aging-Associated Metabolic Disorders

Age is associated with many metabolic disorders including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease. The mediators in aging process have been suggested to play a part in the cellular processes responsible for these metabolic disorders. Here is the latest research on aging-associated metabolic disorders.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
