High Blood Pressure and Diabetes Are Linked. Here ’ s How to Reduce Your Risk for Both
High blood pressure—also known as hypertension—and Type 2 diabetes are two of the most common medical conditions in the U.S. Unfortunately, they often occur together. Some research has found that 85% of middle-aged or older adults who have Type 2 diabetes also have hyper­tension, and both conditions elevate a person’s risk for heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. These increased risks are significant, and in some cases grave. Researchers have found that people with Type 2 ­diabetes are up to four times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease than those who don’t have the conditio...

Outcomes of Chopart Amputation in a Tertiary Referral Diabetic Foot Clinic: Data From a Consecutive Series of 83 Hospitalized Patients
Publication date: Available online 24 November 2015 Source:The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery Author(s): Ezio Faglia, Giacomo Clerici, Robert Frykberg, Maurizio Caminiti, Vincenzo Curci, Francesco Cetta, Vincenzo Prisco, Rosaria Greco, Marco Prisco, Alberto Morabito The purpose of the present retrospective study was to evaluate the outcomes (ie, ulcer recurrence, major amputation, death) in diabetic patients undergoing Chopart amputation because of deep infection or gangrene extending to the midfoot. From 2009 to 2011, 83 patients, aged 71.4 ± 9.3 years, underwent a midtarsal amputation and were followed...

Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Events in Pancreas-Kidney Transplants
Abstract: Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (CCVD) are major causes of morbidity and mortality among patients with diabetes. Strict control of treatable risk factors that contribute to atherosclerosis is important to reduce the risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, and peripheral arterial disease. Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT) may significantly improve these risk factors in patients with type 1 diabetes. We studied 103 SPKT from our center with both organs functioning for metabolic and hypertensive control; body mass index (BMI); immunosuppression; and CCVD events. The 53 females/50 males s...

Outcomes of Chopart Amputation in a Tertiary Referral Diabetic Foot Clinic: Data From a Consecutive Series of 83 Hospitalized Patients
The purpose of the present retrospective study was to evaluate the outcomes (ie, ulcer recurrence, major amputation, death) in diabetic patients undergoing Chopart amputation because of deep infection or gangrene extending to the midfoot. From 2009 to 2011, 83 patients, aged 71.4 ± 9.3 years, underwent a midtarsal amputation and were followed up until December 31, 2012 (mean follow-up 2.8 ± 0.8 years). Of the 83 patients, 26 were female, 61 required insulin, 47 had renal insufficiency, 19 underwent hemodialysis, 65 had hypertension, 34 had a history of cardiac disease, and 4 had a history of stroke.

Obesity or obesities? Controversies on the association between body mass index and premature mortality.
Abstract Obesity is still defined on the basis of body mass index (BMI) and BMI in itself is generally accepted as a strong predictor of overall early mortality. However, an inverse association between BMI and mortality has been reported in patients with many disease states and in several clinical settings: hemodialysis, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, surgery, etc. This unexpected phenomenon is usually called obesity-survival paradox (OP). The contiguous concepts of metabolically healthy obesity (MHO, a phenotype having BMI ≥ 30 but not having an...

Effects and outcomes of cardiac surgery in patients with cardiometabolic syndrome
ConclusionsPatients with CMS were more likely to present with increased comorbidities. Patients with CMS undergoing CABG were at risk for worse short ‐term secondary postoperative outcomes and reduced long‐term survival. The data supports the need for further investigation for risk reduction surrounding operative revascularization.
