Association of metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease with atrial fibrillation: A nationwide population-based study in Korea
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia observed in clinical practice, and its incidence and prevalence have been progressively increasing with a rise in the aging population and lifestyle changes [1,2]. AF not only affects a patient ’s quality of life due to distressing symptoms but also leads to serious long-term consequences such as stroke and heart failure [3]. The pathophysiology underlying the onset and progression of AF is a complex process that remains unclear despite thorough investigation over the past 3 decades.

A comparative study of the clinical profile of fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus
ConclusionsThere are several differences in the phenotype, biochemical parameters, and prevalence of diabetic complications between patients with FCPD and T2DM. Timely diagnosis may have implications in the follow-up and management of patients.

Subclinical vascular disease in patients with diabetes is associated with insulin resistance
Publication date: Available online 23 May 2019Source: Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research & ReviewsAuthor(s): María M. Adeva-Andany, Raquel Funcasta-Calderón, Carlos Fernández-Fernández, Eva Ameneiros-Rodríguez, Alberto Domínguez-MonteroAbstractPatients with diabetes experience increased cardiovascular risk that is not fully explained by deficient glycemic control or traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking and hypercholesterolemia. Asymptomatic patients with diabetes show structural and functional vascular damage that includes impaired vasodilation, arterial stiffness, increased intima-me...

Prediction of 5-year risk of diabetes mellitus in relatively low risk middle-aged and elderly adults
ConclusionsFasting plasma glucose level, BMI, and triglyceride level were still dominated factors to predict 5-year diabetic risk among the relatively low risk participants. The cutoff values for fasting plasma glucose, TG, and BMI set as 5.89  mmol/L, 1.1 mmol/L, and 24 kg/m2, respectively, had the best predictive discrimination of diabetes.

A case control study of clinical and biochemical parameters of metabolic syndrome with special attention among young and middle aged population
Conclusion: The risk factors like high TG, low HDL, high BP, and high fasting glucose were found higher particularly in younger population which may lead to diagnosis & complications of diabetes, hypertension and lipid abnormality. Due to changing physiology in young and middle age population these individuals are moving towards metabolic syndrome easily and needs frequent monitoring, preventive checkups, and lifestyle changes to prevent complications.

Macro- and micro-vascular complications and their determinants among people with type 2 diabetes in Bangladesh
ConclusionDiabetes complications are highly prevalent among type 2 diabetes population in Bangladesh. Prevention strategies should focus on increasing physical activity, weight loss, smoking cessation, and more strict control of hypertension and glycaemic level.

Insulin Resistance in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Its Association with Patient ’s Micro- and Macrovascular Complications, Sex Hormones, and Other Clinical Data
ConclusionsAccording to stratified eGDR, IR was found for one-third of the current T1D population. Insulin resistant patients more frequently had microvascular complications and CVD events. Lower eGDR, longer diabetes duration, and lower HbA1c significantly increased CVD outcomes risk. IR was related to smoking, obesity, gender, age, and diabetes duration. Moreover, men ’s testosterone had a positive correlation with IR in T1D. Finally, patients with T1D and a positive family history of T2D were not susceptible to weight gain, while MS metabolic phenotype prevalence tended to be higher in obese than in lean patients with...

Copeptin - a new diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in neurological and cardiovascular diseases.
Authors: Baranowska B, Kochanowski J Abstract Copeptin, arginine vasopressin (AVP)-associated 39 aminoacid glycopeptide, is a C-terminal part of pro-AVP. AVP acts through V1a, V1b, and V2 receptors. The effect on V1a receptors is connected with arterial vasoconstriction, on V2 with antidiuretic action, and on V1b with the secretion of ACTH, insulin, glucagon. Copeptin is found in the circulation in equimolar amounts with AVP. It is a very stable peptide and easy to estimate. Copeptin is a good diagnostic marker in many disorders in which vasopressinergic dysfunction plays a role in pathogenesis such as a polyuria-...
