Background and objectives Chronic diabetes mellitus is marked by hyperglycemia and metabolic dysfunction, increasing the risk of complications such as nephropathy. This study aimed to evaluate key biochemical parameters among participants with diabetic nephropathy (DNp), diabetes control (DC), nephropathy control (NC), and healthy control groups. Methods A prospective case-control study was conducted with 200 participants … Read more
Diabetic retinopathy develops through complex microvascular damage driven by chronic hyperglycemia, yet traditional risk factors such as disease duration or glycemic control explain only part of individual risk. The retina offers a unique, non-invasive view of microvascular health, where early functional abnormalities may appear before visible retinal lesions. Under normal conditions, retinal vessels automatically constrict … Read more
A retrievable immune scaffold reveals a 5–7 week presymptomatic window for tracking type 1 diabetes progression, long before blood sugar tests turn positive. Study: Longitudinal monitoring of type 1 diabetes progression to disease onset. Image credit: Halfpoint/Shutterstock.com A recent study published in Science Advances described the application of subcutaneous microporous scaffolds, viz., immunological niches (INs), for … Read more
During a recent webinar hosted by the Scientific Society of General Medicine, Christophe Scavée, MD, head of the Department of Cardiology and Rhythmology Unit at Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, Brussels, Belgium, discussed the critical role that general practitioners (GPs) play in sports screening. He outlined the essential steps GPs should take when patients want to start … Read more
This transcript has been edited for clarity. As many of us know, there is a therapy for cancer, known as immune checkpoint inhibitors, that in addition to treating cancer can also cause new-onset type 1 diabetes. I’ve always been interested in this because I don’t really understand what’s happening, and also because patients who develop … Read more
Diabetes and Antibiotic Resistance: A Dangerous Combination High Blood Sugar Levels Drive Antibiotic Resistance Diabetes is more than just a chronic illness. New research reveals that high blood… The post High Blood Sugar and Antibiotic Resistance: The Diabetes Superbug Link appeared first on NewsyList. Source link
Diabetes isn’t just a chronic illness—it’s a breeding ground for superbugs. New research exposes how high blood sugar levels drive antibiotic resistance, making common infections harder to treat and more dangerous than ever. Study: Diabetes potentiates the emergence and expansion of antibiotic resistance. Image Credit: Shutterstock AI Generator / Shutterstock.com Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects about 530 … Read more
